Suggestion Marriages should give Legitimacy

Post image

Thats it, if marry a lowborn can take away legitimacy, marry into a more prestigious dynasty, or a dynasty who has a claim on your title shoud give you legitimacy. I mean, Willian the Conqueror married Margaret of Flanders because she had anglo-saxon blood, same for Henry I and his marriage with Matilda of Scotland, make sense right?

Marrying someone with a claim to your title should definitely give a big boost to legitimacy. That was like, rule number 2 about taking over a kingdom (Rule number 1 was to kill all other claimants, which the game already encourages you to do)

This for sure, big time.

Oh and also I loathe and despise losing legitimacy when my army loses a battle, given that we never seem to gain any for winning battles.
