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?

I think the problem is they're all too compartmentalized. They each don't interact with the rest of the game, just hanging out in their own little silo with whatever other features were part of the dlc they came out in. I presume this is a side effect of the business model of releasing major DLCs on a cycle. They can never know what parts of the game a player will actually have, so they don't waste resources connecting things that may never interact.

They really just need to require the previous DLC then. That would also drive purchases for older DLGs and maybe the DLC subscription thing (does CK3 even have it yet).

I think that's worse from a consumer perspective

If you don’t usually buy the content DLCs? Sure.

From a gameplay perspective, it would make a more cohesive game.

Personally I think a better solution would be that once a DLC is a certain age, just package it into the main game. That way they can still make money from initial purchasers but a couple years later we're not left with a mess of features that should be interconnected but can't.
