Gavelkind is perhaps the worst possible succession law ever invented by man. The only exception is if you’re hoping to get a claim on your spouse’s demesnes.įinally, and perhaps most ‘importantly’, change succession laws. After all, how can a realm breathe with no heir? Just be aware that divorcing your spouse will enrage their family against you. If you can get your religious head to be on your side to grant you an annulment, do not hesitate. Don’t be afraid to annul marriages that are barren.
The diplomacy bonus to it is significant enough to be a good focus in and of itself while helping you to conceive children. There’s no real harm in Family focus for a longer period while you wait for heirs.This not only mechanically improves your chances of conceiving, but it also helps to ensure that you are not a poor cuckold. Lavish him or her with gifts and other favours that will entice them to your side. Most of the time, accomplishing this task is simple: get married (make sure it’s matrilineal if you’re a woman), have children, and sit pretty as you hope your children aren’t idiots.

To that end, my liege, whether you’re a new count or a battle-scarred crusader king, allow me to offer some of the most important tips for the novice and veteran alike. That means there’s could be loads of new wannabe rulers needing advice on how to navigate this titan of a strategy game, and we’re here to help.
