Polygamy doesn't have to be one-to-many, it can be any combination that's not one-to-one.
Polygyny is one man, multiple wives.
Polyandry is one woman, multiple husbands.

Yes. The idea was to have itnot dependent on sex, just like all the other in-game features

No, based on what I've seen in Achaea, people who abuse the bloodline system to have more children than they are years old are not looked down upon at all. Social factors are not enough to limit abuse of this sort of thing. There needs to be a material cost to limit as well.
While I definatly agree that people should not abuse RP systems I think there are a few things that are certainly possible. Mostly bassed on race. most animals have multiple babies at once, sometime hundreds. I think there are some cases in which a dracarni for instance would be perfectly whithin the bounds of RP to have 100 children. I also think it is interesting that the age limit is for parent-child is set at 13 years defferance, it seems that this is based on when it is feasible for a human to have a child. what is to say that furrikins take 13 years to reach sexual maturity? most rodints can have babies in extreamly short periods of time. I'm not trying to excuse people abusing the system, I'm just saying there are cases where something that seems like an abuse is actualy good RP. I think the same goes for marriage.
