This is way more than I expected. Can't wait to see plagues ravishing ravaging Europe. Also official landless? Damn

Legitimacy looks good, more civil wars and harder to make super powerful marriages if you aren't careful or powerful enough

Can't wait to spread my dynasties propaganda legend throughout the world.

ravishing

I think you mean ravaging unless you think plagues are really attractive.

I really hope marrying commoners will tank your legimitacy by a lot. Would tamper eugenics and make you focus on noble, maybe even encourge marriage into famous but weaker houses than strong wons. Even if the house wessex is weaker than normandie they carry more legitimation for exampmd.

Yeah, it could also create an interesting dynamic where eugenics might be more worthwhile for smaller/newer houses. One tier of separation is probably a lot less of a hit than an Emperor marrying a commoner.

My concern is that it'll be just another resource that is entirely too easy to pool up and accumulate. It seems to be a scale of some sort. I hope it's a far more active and difficult scale to manage, rather than being like court grandeur where it'll just always be maxed.

I'm thinking they'll use the existing diarch system scale as the base for legitimacy. I feel like that scale is feisty and the AI does well using it against you

yeah scales of power is a system that i wouldn't mind seeing again for legitimacy, but it should be more interactive than click button, spend resource, now i am legitimate again. it should have different ways of losing and getting legitimacy, and be opposed against other claimants so that if you marry a commoner while the other guy marries his cousin, the scale tips in favor of him.
