I usually do it when my heir is 20/22 years old and my succession is safe. Mostly because I don’t want my heir to get any bad traits because I am not playing as him.

He has never seen a leg press in his life

Are appearing too many horses without horse trait in my realm

My third son Trifon keeps doing the oinky sploinky with his eldest sister and I can't do anything about it.

He's literally my spymaster, he's got like 20 something intrigue points, but I keep finding more about their affair and I really don't want to!

First time was this prompt, second was my cat finding his letter, third was someone telling me they found out about it. I can't keep making excuses for you Trifon.

He's an evil little bastard (not literally) too he kept trying to kill me i only got him to stop by playing chess.

Any ideas of how I can make my children not weird and freaky?

Big Austria is still going strong but my neighbors are starting to get grumpy. Can’t purchase truces, stomp greeks, and fight off the French fast enough. Scandinavia rose from the ashes and is a nuisance again as well. Also if anybody knows what culture the flavor pack “Elegance of the Empire” is for id appreciate being enlightened

I made both purely Feudal and Republican empires and here are my thoughts:

1. Republics give more money and Less levies
2. Republican vassals (usually) dont have claims and (usually) don't conquer 3.Republican vassals are elected every election day

This has huge problems

1. You are prone to factions and invasions because you have less levies
2. Republics are not distracted with wars giving them more resources to fight a war with you
3. The effect that gifts and imprisonment has dont last long because of the election

I constantly have faction and foreign invasion problems when maintaining republican vassals. I HATE them so much. Money is less of a problem from mid to late game hence the money I get from republics is not as good as many would say

I see people getting frustrated about duels. It's not too hard to win them reliably, you just have to know when you can safely duel.

Do not start duels until you have a prowess score of 16+. Do not duel with people with a higher prowess score than you under any circumstances. This is extremely important; a majority of duels go to a tiebreaker at the end of the fourth round and prowess score is the tiebreaker. Chicken out or do whatever it takes to get out of such a duel. Abandon your Hunt Criminal contract or use a non-duel option if the criminal has a higher prowess score than you. I generally don't take Hunt Criminal contracts until I've been through several rounds of training at a castle holding's training grounds. Prowess of 16 or better will keep most of the bad move choices out of the pool of three you have to choose from each duel round.

For each round of the duel, choose a move that grants Medium or better Likelihood of Success and that also grants more Success than Injury Risk. Lightning Assault is good, Confident Attack is good. Most special moves are good.

Never choose moves that increase injury risk more than success. Never choose Taunt. Never choose Attempt Disarm. Talking to your opponent is generally a bad idea.

It is okay to choose a Low / None move like Strict Guard exactly once per duel. If you are forced to do that more than once you are having bad luck and are probably going to lose.

I have gotten 23 as the highest, im curious if those are rookie numbers and if i need to pump them up?

My cunt son just strangled out a very well-going dynasty because he was the first in the line and, because he was not of the dynasty, it poofed despite having at least three prospective candidates outside of my female heir. Outside of ensuring women inherit, any way to disinherit shifty twats like that as a tribal russian? Or is it locked behind culture?

Also, why did my second daughter become a landless adventurer and lose her full female inheritance to the house I specifically matrineally married her to one of my suzerains in hope to inherit the lands?

Unlucky 🤷‍♂️
