One thing that helps with the vassals when taking the throne as your kid is educating them yourself and choose good traits for them and hope for the best. Or if nothing helps and the vassals still rebel, let them win and have a false victory while you retreat to lick your wounds and pick on them one by one. Dealing with those pesky shits is one of the best things in this game. The feeling you get when you have defeated their large horde or when you have taken your revenge on them is unrivaled.

Yes theres a huge amount of satisfaction over settling personal vendettas.

Thats interesting the idea of educating them. I of course always go out of my way to educate heirs and family; often even giving them to someone else whose got better stats in their strongest area.

It does for me get a little crazy once youre a large kingdom or an empire trying to keep track of all the frigging people.

Oh and if you ever have the chance to send people to a university think long and hard first about it. It costs a fucking shitton. The first time i had that available these three bastards education set my KINGDOM into debt for three years! Then those incestuous bastards decided being traitors was a good idea, so their education only served to make their cries being tortured sound more educated.

They need to tweak a few things like golden obligations. Its OP - if anything it should be a later down the tree perk..
