- In this video I do my best to create a family with all the top tier congenital traits in Crusader Kings 3. You can follow my example by sorting for traits when looking for marriages for your players an heirs as well as being sure to go down the 'Blood' dynastic legacy tree.
I hope you guys enjoy!

The 2 yo girl with 15 prowess killed me , like she’s the man of the house
Well those kids you know... give them something sharp and they will cut your achilles tendon before you even noticed their presence.
But then she was forced to marry her uncle.
Imagine trying to tell her it's bedtime, she says no.... What are you gonna do?
“Come at me uncle hubby, what you gonna do?!”
>2 year old girl with 15 prowess
His dynasty literally bred a Bene Gesserit spice-abomination
"She's a 2 year old with 15 prowess"
I laughed out loud so hard. Imagine her fighting a weak king and beating him lol.
"no, dad. YOU take out the trash"
@@lowenjennings lmao
Main downside of Giant is that they usually die in their 40's. Or sooner, if you actually use them as knights.
When she gets married she tells her dad, "you're the man of the house now."

Protip: giving a child to be educated by a character with an intelligence trait improves the chances that character has of getting the highest education trait. Basically the 'Genius' trait is very important to ensure you're not just breeding the strongest characters, but also that they get the best education possible. Controlling personality traits is also good, but there aren't that many personality traits that really give you trouble.
Shrewd trait and scholar trait too
Whenever Jerusalem is Christian, I always ask the king, you can also have your child attend university.
I love the trait combination: callous/sadistic + calm + temperate. Absolutely brilliant for intimidating subjects.
the base is 40% to get 2 points each year, randomly to any of the 5 traits, it's a complex formula but basically success chance and failure chance forms a ratio. with a guardian, any guardian, the success is extra 20, which is now 50-50. so don't forget to assign guardians to kids. genius is 15 to this points, intelligent 10, quick 5 and shrewd 5. yes it can be genius and shrewd same time, one is genetic the other is lifestyle choice. the focus is what he focuses on, and it will be between the 5 skills, rowdy is between martial and intrigue, bossy between martial steward, pensive between steward and learning, then diplo learning and lastly charming for diplo intrigue. you can somewhat control this by marriage. if you both are stewards, highly likely that the kid is either bossy or pensive. but if you are steward and marry martial it's mostly just bossy. the focus is +20 if he is good on it or -20 if not. 0 if no ability on it. technically you can go for the neutral but the opposite is -20 which is a lot. the focus is martial for martial or steward for steward, easy enough. this is 0.4 points for focus and 0.2 for learning. so genius worth 20 which is alone more than 50 skill. you won't find 50 skill with no modifiers. and the +5 on all skill is another 2.4 points. the best martial trainer is usually the holy order or band leader that's generated, but even he pales to comparison to a random genius. even quick is worth 5, so 0.4x12.5 and another 0.6 for 1 on all skills so 13 points. the scholar tree has the pedagogical trait which is a few random points when he grows up, it's not directly affecting this calculation but affects the result. so you don't need the full tree but having scholar trait means he has that. the star rating won't directly affect the educators quality like in ck2, but it's still 8 points for the educator which is 3.2 points worth.
the evaluation is 0-7-11-15+ so these are 1-2-3-4 stars. you can already see if he is successful when he reaches those numbers. there is a perk in the last family perks, 2nd one, which gives higher education more likely, I suppose that's 4 points to focus which is nice. that means you can't ever be under 2 star. the spouse can also increase the points slightly, but that's only for the player. also Ai characters while landed, having a wife can push it up their skill so the kids skill too, so might worth it as a guardian. so yeah, the kid gets 2 points or 0 with a 40-60 chance on default, for ai the first 2-2 kids are taught by the parents so 50-50. you can grind it up to 66% or a bit more with witch, scholar, I'm not sure on the groom to rule, I think not all bonuses count and the base is actually a bad thing if it's higher, but the negatives surely do as the positives come out of that and it's practically a higher base. so if you really want to micromanage, then go with the lower base from the duo of focus choices. also around 6% more if the kid is also genius but caps around 66% anyway.
the importance of this is the higher his learning stars, the events are more major and positive while low stars will be mediocre and unimportant and make mistakes. there is still a chance that you can increase learning stars later in your life if the spouse has a higher education in your focus or learning. a friend (sister) can also work for this, if she is still in court and you interact. so genius is superior to any other trait by big time. also gives extra learning ability to trees your focus doesn't match and honestly 30% on your non focus is a 3 star education to anything which is decent. especially with the new royal court you can have books and tapestry that pushes skills up so you can have around 46-50 monthly xp to your focus but 40 to your non focus is also possible. the main use of this is going for 5 years for 2-3 points like befriend, groom to rule and either confidants or gifts. or torturing and schemer 2nd perk down middle for extra plot resitance, maybe 3-4 for abduction. then just swap back to your main focus. usually I do two focuses, like 5 year diplo and then steward, or learning or whatever is my main, don't do 4, but 3 can be possible, like 9 in main, 3 in diplo and rest in learning. the groom to rule and torturer (dark insights) can be reset and re-applied again, giving 2-6 skills to all kids, and the torturing giving 5-10 prowess and 5-10 intrigue to you. befriend is really broken, as friends are harder to come by normally, and swaying is slower and won't guarantee a friend status. but you can also combine both and go for 60%+ befriend chance after gifts and sway, then hit the hunt/feast and can be completed right away as it's a higher chance you interact with them. friends give a bunch of skills, money stress reduction and other things. actually if you go learning tree, scholar is superior, but if you can spend 5 years for befriend as a genius and get those 3 traits then take learning scholar, the best is to pick up theologian, as it seems to be that you will get a few religion based events and more interaction with your priest and physician and you get way more points from making friend than focusing on scholarship right away.
Imagine getting shy and lazy on the same character
Something else you should be focusing on in a playthrough like this, is your courtiers.
You should be marrying as many of your courtiers as possible to people with good inheritable traits, that way you essentially run a secondary eugenics program where you breed ideal candidates for your children to marry, candidates who are guaranteed to accept a marriage proposal because they're in your court.
i like how you have two distinct mispronunciations of “congenital” and you use them interchangeably
From personal experience playing the game, inbred normally doesn't become an issue until you double dip into incestuous relationships. For example, when you married your daughter off to your nephew it was ok because they were only cousins to each other and it was the first introduction to inbreeding. Normally these types of relationships are good for getting those good negative traits. The issue started when you married your son to your granddaughter, which meant your heir married their niece which creates a much higher inbreeding %. To top it off the neice was already inbred further increasing the likely hood for negative traits and the horrible inbred trait. When using inbreeding, you really need to stick with cousin only relationships and you need to skip a generation and marry outside the family immediately afterwards.
Double dipping lmao, but your right though, with a stray hunchback or a club foot here and their this is the way.
nah bro just ignore the incest trait and breed the perfect family bonsai
If you can find and marry a person with pure blood, things get much better. Also to be honest fertilily also negates inbreed but the fact that the more children the higher the chances of at least some of them not being inbreed
@@gabeat_ you mean the family tumbleweed
Inbred/negative congenital traits can be offset somewhat if you have the 'Blood' legacy fully complete, it also increases the chances of passing down any good trait, which means that once you establish a good trait it's almost guaranteed it will never leave your genepool.
Jarl Dare the Stranger also has special units, and he's a genius. Oh yeah and he's related to every other viking king. So yeah, he's obviously the best viking. If you get him back in Diplo range with halfdan you can steamroll everything
Oh okay, I didn't know of too many people who start with inheritable traits. Thanks for the info 💪
Where is Jarl Dare located?
@@MrSharkbay Könungarör or Kiev today Ukraine and it is Dyre
Another protip: horse archers in the western theater can stack wipe everything. So if you make a bunch of horse archers then become Norse you can take over all of Europe. I mean it's so easy it's kinda an exploit.
@@MYPSYAI men at arms in general are pretty op, if you can manage to get a fll stack of men at arms + good knights and a good commander you can easily stackwipe armies thrice your size
28:05 everyone criticizes the Habsburgs until you find yourself in the same situation
Subscribed when I saw a two year old who could one-shot the Byzantine Emperor.
Oh what a world!
Congenital, not cogenital.
Also, about men at arms. Always make sure to have your culture's best special MAA, in this case it was Varangian Veterans and Huscarls. The most OP way to play the game is to make your heir a different culture, just so that when they take power they can recruit horse archers, or what ever that cultures best MAA is. In
You can also change your capital to a culture that you want to change to. Change culture, hire the men at arms you want, then wait for all your vassals to form a faction to rule themselves which then gives you an ultimatum/choice to change back to their culture, for a slight loss of fame.
In my playthroughs I try to play as Dyre or Greek, and end up with Varangian Veterans, Horse Archers, Mubarizun, Cataphracts, Metsanvartija. With this strategy you can focus your MOST of your building to be mostly financial with only a few being mil buffs since you already have the best MAA that also have counter multiple other MAA.
I noticed that when editing but didn't have the energy to re-record it 😅
I love the unique culture units, but when I switched off of Norse I couldn't build the other unique Norse units anymore. I guess I could have waited and built them all up before converting but I wasn't really warring too much this game anyways.
@@Zieley You only need to buy the 1st 100, after that you can change.
I like stealing other culture's men at arms by landing old males as counts and killing them to inherit their titles and men at arms. Got a bunch of Arab Mubarizun and Sicilian Picchieri which are some of the the best troops possible
@@mortache Old males in your family?
@@jxslayz6663 no its like... Find an arab guy in your realm, which can include your vassal's courts too. Land him, even give him some money. He will soon get Mubarizun men at arms. Then assassinate him, or demand conversion, and if he refuses you get a free imprisonment and he gets a free ticket to torture and dungeon 🤷♂️
I've found that the "inheritable" traits in ck3 to be incredibly frustrating because of the low chances and how you only get a few attempts per generation
You're obviously doing something wrong. It's not hard, but you have to know how to get there, bar some very unfortunate bad luck events you should be able to average 6 kids per generation, which is a very high chance.
Low chance! I guess you never played ck2 where you had a 10% chance of passing on a good trait and 15% chance if both parents had that trait. It's so much easier now. Almost over powered since you can eventually get 100% chance of passing on your good traits.
Once you get the first 3 tiers of the Blood dynasty legacy and the strong blood dynasty modifier, it becomes trivial.
it seems to be much easier than it was in ck2. In CK3 if you can get at least one blood dynasty legacy, you are almost guaranteed to inherit trait you are going for.
@@admontblanc
True. If anything, its almost overwhelming having so many kids 😅
Count Haesteining allows some fun scenarios to be played. In the only game I played as him so far I did a viking adventure against the papacy, it took 4 years just to siege Rome but the Pope's mercenaries were too slow to counter attack
This is one of my favorite things to do. If you do it right you get to the point where almost every child has t3 traits, but even your vassals or foreign kingdoms will start making traited heirs. Played a restore Rome game where I would marry a daughter to Hungary every so often. 4 generations later Hungary outside of my direct control was now birthing rounds of traited kids all because if the t3 trait daughters that were married in. Was cool to watch an off shoot line of mine control a large country for multiple generations.
dyre starts with genius, 3k troops, 500 gold and 600 prestige. Plus he's on an excellent position to form russia
Going to have to try him out next time 👀
Dyre can subjugate Khazaria as well. If you do that then have your son raised into Mongolic culture you can get a Khan of Khans as early as 890s.
also hes a viking in kiev. I missed this the first time but if you get 4th level fame (5 with any other viking who doesn't start there) and you are a viking, you get 100 years of development bonus (caps around 30-31 since the innovations). so before converting to russian or magyar, get famous and do the decision.
Probability of getting the same trait is 1/4. Now what you were trying was to get both of them together with base 1/4 so actually your odds of getting it were 1/16 not 1/8. Although getting any one of the same trait should be fairly easy because its odds are 1/2
Very true, bad math on my part there
Not quite, it was actually 7/16. Probability of A or B is probability of A + probability of B - probability of A and B.
@@AaronF2112 Except he wanted BOTH traits, not either of them, so it is indeed a true 1/16. You would be right if he were looking only for one or the other trait, but Jatin Dhamecha clearly said "what you were trying was to get BOTH of them together...." But it's all good.
@@andrewneedham3281 yes that’s true, I’m talking about when he said the probability of either trait was 1/2, it is actually 7/16
@@AaronF2112 Fair enough.
Oh, that rubric was very helpful. I very vexed on my first play through from 1066 to end date where I was definitely playing the eugenics game, and was so close to having the full boat of genetic traits, only to have my last player character be a dwarf...
Hahaha I feel you, that one bad trait will ruin the perfect heir
That’s when I start going on the kin murdering spree or getting high crown authority to choose my favorite child
@@Zieley fun fact, if your character has 'Albino', 'Giant', or 'Dwarf' they all count as negative traits which means you can't get 'Strenghten the Bloodline' done, so it's always advisable to not try and get 'Giant' in before you do that. And since you most likely will get the 'Blood' legacy at least halfway done by the time you are getting an heir that can take that decision, then it gets really hard to make a congenital trait go away.
@@dmitricarabetchi4269 lol, y'all are so basic. 'Take the Vows' is the way to do it properly. You don't take a 'legacy renown' penalty, and at worst case you only gain some 'Tyranny', and hardly causes any opinion loss with your vassals.
You said you didn't like the diplomacy or intrigue focuses, yet, for having kids they have some pretty awesome buffs, and IIRC the diplo tree has some really good family stuff as well. If you get the celibacy perk first, then move over to diplo you can become a baby making machine while working toward getting those awesome family bonuses, then just "turn it off" with celibacy.
I agree, diplomacy focus can be fantastic if you have family members in good positions. Right now I'm in my 4th generation of a game having as many children as possible, I created a kingdom where all my dukes and many of my barons are close family members, so by using the Diplomacy perk that improves schemes against family members, I can keep my powerful vassals loyal and manage the realm's structure with Sway and Fabricate Hook.
Never been easier to manipulate a pack of squabbling Dukes. I may not have the raw numbers that you can get from a Martial or Stewardship focus, but I also never have to use money or military power within my own realm.
The best start I have found for this is starting as a custom character that is 32 years old, can take the Strengthen Bloodline descision (Beautiful, Hale, and quick plus has pure-blooded), has 1 daughter, and has the Messalianism, Adamitism, Mazdayasna or Zurvanism (for the unrestricted marriage doctrine). Starting with a daughter, and being 32 years old yourself means she is 16 and you can marry at the start of the game. Now, you might want to reroll if she does not have the pure-blooded trait (15% chance) as that will cause you a lot of pain. If you inbreed your dynasty a lot, you can easily retain, and renforce your traits, but you have to only breed pure-blooded individuls together, or you'll quickly get all the bad traits from inbreeding, minus the inbred trait itself, and if you breed anyone with any of those bad traits with someone they're related to, then you get the inbred trait.
The pure-blooded trait is a must if you want a true race of super humans, where everyone is beautiful, herculean, and a genius. Did this, although, since I didn't know how inbreeding really worked, and since the first character's daugther didn't have the pure-blooded trait it took me a while to get enough individuls with pure-blooded to make it work, and even then there were still a couple of bad traits that needed to be bred out of the family (club-footed was the worst, although, most everyone also ended up as a giant).
hows one get the pure-blooded trait?
@@Faolan-qe9vl Add it in character create, or marry/concubine etc someone who has it. Bohemia is good for this - as you can select the heir, so go mad on kid creation.
really nice, well put together video. love how you explain everything and telling us why you’re doing things. most others explain like shit or don’t even explain at all. keep up the hard work
Wow, thanks my man. I'm happy you enjoyed it
Yeah I agree. It's annoying how nobody explains shit
Loving these videos. Among the best for CK3. Thank you.
don't know if anyone else does this, but by 200 years or so into the game, I usually have a few thousand total dynasty members, 75%+ of which have beautiful/genius/robust..
I usually select 'giant' as my special dynasty trait, and then try to merge in all of the 'fecund' folks I can find. Essentially they become unstoppable ubermensch.. especially if you create a custom religion.
I like to put it on autoplay, while I'm away, and watch as my descendants take over the world
how about fertility trait?
@@MsArmox yes, this too.. good call. Though with either concubines or polygamy, I normally have most of my descendants hitting the 10-15 children mark, regardless..
like especially-competent rabbits, they spread across the globe
Start as Zoroastrian, marry someone with beautiful/Genius/Herculean trait and then inbreed after getting pure bloodlines perk for dynasty.
Good idea
Why Zoroastrianism
I love your videos, man just wanted to say that. I started to play this game again because of you.
Thanks a lot man, I hope you're enjoying it again
Enjoying your channel and videos! Love Crusader Kings but idk what I’m doing half the time haha
Using the daughters to seed the gene pool around you is almost mandatory, then marrying a cousin normally caps it off. The interesting part once you get it the next generation is all perfect, then after that the heir is perfect.
What does it mean to use the daughters to seed the gene pool around you? Does that mean you try to select postive trait husbands with for your daughters to breed with if you want your kids to inherit a specific trait instead of selecting postive trait brides for your sons?
@@babyramses5066 Figure use the same culture group to marry daughters to. So they are around you, and if you can marry to second sons where the kids will be of your house, especially if the first son has a brave trait or you have a 20+ spymaster for removal. Ideally this is also the area that you will expand too later on and having someone in your house is easier to offer vassalage. Then there are your sisters that you married off where you did not kill off or the first son did not die off and you can use those nieces also to get counts or people with claims then go after those claims. Then any other female that you can invite to your court from your house. I avoid getting other lovers, and about the only time I do that now is if someone comes after me, it just seems they never get found out or if I have a really good female spymaster. Then I normally marry them after the wife dies and get more kids legitimized from that marriage or we do not have to hide them any more. Also it use to be bastards from a lover did not have a penalty for inbreeding, but now they do after a patch.
I absolutely adore trying to do Hastein to Madurai! FYI Madurai is the single best county in the game (it’s the one on the the southern tip of India with 7 farmland baronies, 25 dev in 1066 and impassable mountains giving nice borders. Once you get there take out the other Tamil Kings and just raid rich Indian lands. Use Sri Lanka to land your secondary heirs so they won’t inherit your domain. Eventually, form a hybrid culture and use your plunder to play tall!
To get there: attack Sicily or Sardinia, then Cairo, a Yemeni county, an Omani county, the Indian jungle county of Kamara (I think), then Madurai
Really nice format of videos, hope to see more like this, a gameplay in 30 minutes with clear objective is really nice !
Discovered your channel with this video, I will subscribe :)
Thanks! I plan on doing more like it
This was a super fun video !
new to your channel! the combo of ck3 and tng is A+++++
Great video. Learned a lot.
U make good stuff, keep it up man!
Thanks man!
This man is my new fav CK3 chanel
I bred like 100 characters that all had trier 2 and mostly tier 3 traits, but then also giant and fecund. I did have a very hard time with pure-blood though. It went extinct very quickly.
A herculean giant is pretty crazy, though. It looks insane vs other characters. Eventually, it would be straightforward to find non-related partners that both had tier 3 of all traits. Using a warrior culture culture gives a bit of a boost. Then yes the blood dynasty legacies. And in the beginning using a ruler that would seduce and invite to court all the females with the best traits. Taking your granddaughter as a concubine doesn't hurt either.
In the end, since everyone has tier 3 traits, so do your enemy kingdoms as well as the vassals that start to rebel. Thinking about trying it with the monasticism tenet, as you suggested in one video. There doesn't seem to be a way to make the character with the best traits your heir, and make sure the others don't reproduce.
I prefered picking fecund as the blood legacy trait, since everyone was already either genius or intelligent.
Great content and videos. The fact that you used a brazilian meme from Nazaré Tedesco (a fictional character) at 28:38.. brillant! Best from Brazil! 👏
oh wow, i've never thought to stack wars together like that. that's brilliant.
Thanks for the video. Great supermen and superwomen you created.
Start as Dyre the Stranger. Genius and 1000 spec troops. Love this dude - you can do so many different things with him :D
Great video! Just subscribed to your channel!
I've done well with my kids in CK3. They were all geniuses. But I never thought of going for a second trait, until now.
thanks for the link to the "breeding guide"
Incest can also really help here, as you could also have a chance of getting the pure blooded trait that increases life expectancy and also reduces inbreeding chance. It also helps to get the third Blood legacy to reduce the amount of bad traits you can get, both randomly and through inbreeding. IMO perks 4 and 5 of the Blood legacy aren't too useful for genetics purposes so I'd recommend getting other legacies such as Kin in order to help your children get better education traits, for example.
I made a forty plus prowess heir using robust, martial ed lvl 4, diligent, brave, vengeful, viking, berserker, house if warriors and gallant tree. He single handedly captured all the nobles of europe and took them as his concubine. All hail king Ormr 'the bloody' of Noregr
Fun fact: Haestein has a bastard son in Kiev, Jarl Dyre of Konugardr, but since it's early, he is the head of his own house (kind of funny that you can legitimize yourself and restore inheritance yourself and you might get brittany or the isles). He is also one of the highest stat characters in 867 start and the genius trait. usually diplomacy but can be other focus with heavy on intrigue side, and heavy on stress too.
8:19 that's your granddaughter probably :) Oskyldr which is the house of the bastard son.
9:25 you might not played as Martin de Hauteville, but he is originally normann, and those lands in Sicily might swap to normann, unless he swaps to sicilian, norman is a better norse with a few more innovations and no land aside Sicily and Brittany. Napoli and Lecce is greek originally. Also it might be scripted but Sicilian culture has some events that swap lands quite fast without doing anything but controlling them early. Capua starts with it and it's actually best spot lategame as Napoli and Rome is on the sides of it and the development trickles down from both sides, and capua is the duchy capital, napoli (or palermo) allows forming a tiny empire for a bunch of gold and prestige. it's called 'empower sicilian parlament' so I think it's locked for sicilians and not available for corsicans or sardinians and doesn't even need those lands necessarily as it's part of the italian empire.
I don't like inbreeding and kind of kills the fun of it.
One trick you might not know: if you marry your daughters with random high skill guys, then revoke your city mayors, you can appoint your son in law as the new mayor. Since highest rank of a king, you get 4 extra kids for your daughters too (princess) and matrimonially will be your dynasty. Now landed gives 2 kids, 4 from rank and 1-2 base (1 coinflip), you can get 7-8 kids for her inside a city but less when unlanded and way slower. For empress is 8-9 per couple. The main benefit of this is that you can go over generations faster, and if you got a gap in generations, your grand grand daughter is fine with your nephew I think (4 gap no inbreeding I think but age is an issue because even your bro youngest bro might be too old for a baby). Also norse or some german cultures can set elections instead of normal inheritance, so you can swap family lines (you might lose the capital and all power with it). Also some kingdoms got elections by default (cherven cities). When I did this, I was having 6 domains with 19 cities and breeding kids nonstop. cities, because no tyranny when you revoke them. That means you can revoke when the female hits 45 and call back to court (if friend or related) and do with someone else, pumping out way more kids and generations. So I got really early double max trait people and above 40 stewardship rulers constantly like that. Yeah I also missed the part on the traits so I was having 2 random traits for long but I didn't do any inbreeding chance at all and all my rulers were genius.
And while the congenital line is the most important for this, the marriage +30 in the other perks is better early, also fertility buff on the last one (kin), even maybe the better education and then jump into the congenital traits. And diplo has writing history which gives 75-150 renown each 10 years which can buff up the first two levels of family renown early, after that it's easier to just expand the landed dynasty members and having ancestor worship gives a bit more renown for each marriage and kid and the first 200 rulers so the 75 is not worth it anymore. The biggest marriage issue is religion which is -1000 for hostile but within dynasty the hooks are enough to bring back most kids to court.
Well it's funny, but on patch before it was a fixed amount for each perk but then they added extra 500 for each consecutive one. But royal court now added the items which can give either flat or percent renown and easier recruiting and renown events. So probably you can get away with way less cities, just micromanaging the marriages in them.
very cool video 👍
You can get pure blood with inbread trait
I probably should have went for pure blood this game, but I was so fed up at that point I was just trying to get a kid with all 3 traits 😅
@@Zieley You did start inbreding though.
Diplomacy is pretty based tho. Like diplomat focus gives you two CBs that allow you to blob pretty well and high Diplomacy means easy transitions without vassal factions
Underrated channel, love it
you are so good I am so bad these video is helping me a lot.
This is fun to do if you can snag someone with the Pure Blood trait and then change your religion to allow for close kin marriage, AKA the W-incest strat. If you have a son and a daughter with Pure Blood and a few good traits it gets VERY easy to breed super humans. That being said, Pure Blood is hard to get since it seems like it has a lower chance to get passed down
8:22
You didn’t die, you were actually assassinated.
So if you’re assassinated you don’t die?
He didn't die of natural causes if u don't get the drift
there is a legacies tree where you can increase likelihood of inheriting good trains and even decrease likelihood of inbreeding. I usually prefer that tree because nice congenital traits are like a half of my success strategy in the game
I like to play Byzantines and go Eugenics. The key to success is to set up branch families that inherit some of those great traits so you can intermarry your kids with them, yeah theres a risk of inbreeding but you are able to set up a nice pool of marriage candidates at home. It also seems to maybe help with getting pure blooded.
Informative and funny . Brilliant
Cheers Daz, I really appreciate it!
quite underrated channel
Your editor has a good sense of humor
Surprised you didn't start looking for the New World or take over the Habsburg lineage and start pumping out Cletus's and Charles's by the end of the video ngl
It’s a numbers game. The best way to try and give yourself the best chance of long term good genes is to get a character with all 3 good traits (or at least recessive forms of them) and then just start having as many kids as possible (this is generally easier for a male character for obvious reasons). Take wives and concubines with positive traits and take lovers too. Then, start betrothing these children to other children from other mates, and you will likely see your traits skyrocket with almost no inbreeding for that first generation. Then, take your player heir, marry the best pick of the bunch, and you should see some pretty strong traits coming out with a SMALL risk of negative traits. (PS this is obviously politically expensive but after a few lifetimes of this you should find yourself with a strong and fruitful bloodline)
3:39 Made me laugh !
Great video!
You can set up lineages through just your courtiers, you can set up multiple families to breed with that way and you have control over their progress.
Yeah, what I usually do is to do matrilineal marriages with my daughters and control my bloodline, also helps the final phases of the eugenics program. He considered that marriage a bad choice but it was really the optimal way to do things since eventually there would be offspring without inbred traits.
I even reform to strict no close kin policy then they don't even got an option to do inbreds (still happens because cousins are in range but lot less risky). Also I learned my lesson when my uncle pulled my kingdom from me but not the empire. So when I took it back I formed a double emprie with the same name, but my latest duchy conquered before it became the old empire. A single duchy empire is funny, it had 2 counties but was the other empire of Carphatia, and it went to my brother. It was a huge renown source with a tiny land. But all they did is marry those 2 courts together as there was no one else of our faith and they didn't wanted my vassals or me to get their claims or titles, so what they did is go in circles between 2 small courts and make 1000 inbreds, they fell in 100 years but then I just granted to another bro :D
I do eugenic programs in cities, as they are revocable with no tyranny so easier to control who owns it, who has the kids, 45 yo female? get out, next one. friends and family can come back in court and I can use those kids as new vassals or further breeding or worst case my vassals marry them and not my other vassals or inbreds. since they don't inherit claims, they are perfect vassals for new counties too.
Taking Haesteinn to Sardinia is exactly how I started my first game (there's a mine which solves early money problems, and you're in a perfect spot to raid rich Mediterranean kingdoms). Now holding Britain, Iberia and Aquitane by 1050 but my heir has only one trait (handsome) since I've avoided marrying primary heirs off internally so far, saw the negative effects on an inbred character and got scared. Time to marry that beautiful amazonian genius cousin and hope for the best while I take West Francia and finally form the Norman culture. For Odin!!
Damn you can declare wars on multiple people at the same time and just steam roll a peninsula? Im an idiot.
With your editing skills your rimworld game play would be epic
Zieley's PC sound fixed my adhd 😢😊
Ah yes, a breeding guide, I see you're also a man of culture.
Alfred the Great is a (dare I say it), great Option for this idea. He has the intelligent trait. (One upping Haesting)
Nice
I need more info brotha, I feel like so
Much needs to be explained!
Id hate to piss off this guy’s family of genetically hyper smart, athletic, and beautiful dwarfs
"See it's turning around" yeah turning around back into your family tree
Haesteein to Sardinia and a genetics program, daring video on this one 😅
respect though
1. Great video, super interesting, well done, your voice is smooth like butter. 2. con-GEN-i-tal
It absolutely matters how big your empire is because it effects the political range. Also if a good candidate is within your own realm it is a lot easier to secure the marriage acceptance. For that matter your title ranking also plays a part in acceptance so of course it matters a lot.
I just got this game a few days ago and my first iron man playthrough was as Hæsteinn. Managed to take the Kingdom of Brittany, conquer West Francia, defeat and capture the pope, and take a couple duchies in Spain and England. Then my heir took over and the realm fell apart... but that's ok, even though he is now only a count I have some fun plans.
So… did you use those fun plans?
Chinese bus trying to turn around on the highway was funny.
I starter in sardina bc in ck2 I did was able to counquer the mederian sea so I wanted to see if I could do it again in the new game. I end up bein able to take over the empire of France, after a couple generation France is pacified and im starting to invide Italie with someone with 38 prowess and around 15-20 in everyskill at 40 yrs old. Im starting to make around +27 gold per month with a total 21k levie in total.
The game is really fun!
The stat man.
Nice video, duderino. Watched it two times already. Incest = wincest. Now I wanna play a tall kingdom with a focus on eugenics.
Do it! you wont regret it
If you hop out of Ironman mode and control the bloodlines of multiple countries in diplomatic range of each other its a lot easier to avoid the inbreeding issue. That's what I'm doing in a campaign where I shoved like, 20ish ruler based on anime characters all across Scandinavia, Britain, and some of the Slavic countries. Almost 50 years in, and so far there's a decent amount of people with traits in all three trees without any maxed out, a whole bunch of geniuses cause I like smart characters, so a lot of my starting people had traits on that tree (and one couple with genius and intelligent had 8 kids, which helped a lot,) and a lot of people with genius and a high trait from one other tree - most notably the three beautiful geniuses who are the 3rd gen anime spawn. I'm not allowing anyone closer than 3rd cousins to marry, not allowing any pairings with more than an 8 year age difference, and selecting against personality traits I dislike, which is slowing down my progress some, but it's still going well. Except for the descendants of Tai from "Zombieland Saga," but their progenitor HAD to have possessed, lunatic, stuttering, and lisping to make her more accurate to the character...
What is surprising is that the Rashids found their way from Yemen to Valencia-Catalonia
Kahn would be proud.
oh hello THE ONLY GUY WHO KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING IN THIS GAME on youtube
Now try for a pure-blood family line.
Var-an-GEE-an
Just like the varangian guard of Byzantium.
u can add law to ur prim title>> feudal election (if i m not mistaken)
then u can vote ur heir,
I usually get nice heir who is not my son, by voting
Elective can be tough if you get greedy with land, and depends a lot on what kingdom you have since some kingdoms, like Italy, have too many duchies to make it a safe option, but it's a nice way to avoid the 'disinherit' legacy renown penalties which will slow down your legacy bonuses.
@@admontblanc yeah
Getting to win the election is sometime not ez
My suggestion is find secrete and blackmail for hook, or if they do something unlawful, imprison and release them with hook or if u r desperate, just imprison (beware of tyranny which might make ur prefer vote more difficult) them and hook, or revoke one title if they rebel, quell them and imprison, release with hooks. Then use those hook to make them vote the same as u. If u have perk in life(dnt remember the exact name) which give u 1 yr warning when u r dying, helps u to estimate when u force them to vote.
The worst part about the super genetics, is that all your decendants will eventually go and share those traits around and then they will too be able to do the Consecrate Blood thing
How did you handle theland being divided when Haesteinn first died? Did Mallorca just become independent with your brother controlling it? At what point did you swap over to learning with Ragnarr, and then flip back to Stewardship and what made you make that decisiion?
I think I only had one son when my first guy Haesteinn died, so there wasn't any splitting. I actually got war declared for Mallorca from the Muslim Spanish Rulers and they had a lot of troops so I let them have the island. I think I took them back much later in the game though. I wanted to put Ragnarr on Stewardship because I was planning on upgrading a lot of buildings during that lifetime and the Architect tree has some great bonuses for that!
Shouldve extended the Challenge to include all beneficial congenital traits
Chad of the house of Giga.
"This little dude". A literal dwarf....
If you have seen Bridgerton on Netflix...the Haesteining dynasty actually fits the job ^^
Your the only dude that does videos like this.
Missed opportunity to play as the hasber family
Calling Cagliari “Kahgleeary” after naming Sardinia Sicily 😬
Italians: 🤌🏻
How did you get all the claims for the 5 counties you went to war with?
Best thing you can do is try to acquire as many traits as possible in your dynasty as a whole, and then marry the cousins together, send all your morons off to die or the clergy, etc. I find when I'm not even trying that I have pretty good luck this way. You also have the chance to get pure-blooded, which is insanely good for your eugenics program.
My mind immediately drifted to dark places from the title of this video. To the 1940s back to the time of the...
I know a lot of people talked about the 2 year old but dam that baby can take on like 100 levies as a knight gd
Honestly, the only useful info I got from here, was that there is a pretty good online article, and I should check that out.
I find it funny that a lot of non-natives mistake Sardinia with Sicily 😂 Same happens with the Canary Islands and Madeira in some other playthroughs I've watched
Oh, I always go for this, huge advantage. You need to risk some inbreeding, but just prune where pruning is needed.
