Oh joy! a hidden intrigue threat which we have no leads to pursue while it grows until it suddenly becomes a problem!

Sigh... how wonderful that our next major threat is going to have to be entirely fought with what is tied for our worst stat.

All the more reason to do what we do best, delegate.

I mean we don't get sneaky and that's perfectly fine, we have people to do that for us. We just have to help them do so by throwing money at the problem until it stops being a problem.

Edit: Changed to this, because I don't want to risk Intrigue.​

It is fine like that. I would make them longer and tag the QM so they don't get lost though. I doubt we would make a Republic even down the line. After all most nations we see are still ruled by monarchs. I also doubt our son will still be dealing with the unification unless we die immediately.

I was thinking like several thousand years later though, China was an empire for millennia and has republic in its name today. Also I was picturing dying young as emperors often do throughout history .

Except that a thousand years later all the governments are still monarchies. Also China has Republic in it's name for the same reason the USSR, North Korea, and several nations in Africa do it makes them sound better. Also what is going that kill us we just wiped out the only local threat to us. We are also not warmongers and players tend to be able to keep their charterers alive for a long time.

Exactly. What's unrealistic that in the future there is a republic in the name to sound better? Also he could die of sickness for all we know. Wasn't aiming to be super canon, just a maybe future far down the line.

We could but that is not a likely outcome. We would also get a chance to counteract any illness. Also unless somesort of democracy or Republic forms there is no reason that the title of Republic would have any positive connotations.

I think this be a better option, for starters, we were a merchant, not a ruler, raising our son to be a ruler with a focus on merchant aspects would be a huge benefit for him in the future. Also his mom is a big tough griffin, I dont think she is gonna let her husband completely take over and follow in his footsteps but also make it so he also takes up some of hers, completely negating the negatives, at least thats what I hope for.

This is just to boost certain stats and to improve the chance to get the genius trait to pass on. The stats still need to be rolled. With genius we get a +4 to martial and diplomacy. Along with a +2 to everything else how is that not the better option.

We already have Strong and Attractive, kid's gonna be a hunk for sure. If we can nab Genius too he'll be legendary and the paragon of both bloodlines, and if raised right the finest ruler these lands could ask for.

We must also make this dragon egg situation work out as well as we can for added security.


Though I am not the best of planners and others here have much more worked out than I do for this.

Stewardship is the GOAT trait of ck2.
 
While admittedly it is nice if we could get genius I feel like we'd be forcing the kid to become a genius of hard work, usually when you have these traits show up they'll show up right away much like what our fellow has posted. That said if you don't think him being a genius wouldn't pop up while working on how to do his sums, logistics and also having a glib tongue than you have no idea how difficult it is to supply an army is.
