So I just started playing again after like two years, and figured I would go as Duke of Braganza.
Well, our starting Duke made a few moves when the Moors were distracted and got himself a kingdom, but no sons, and died heirless.
My next FOUR FRACKING KINGS were country cousins, all dead within a few years, and while the moor has largely been driven out of Iberia and all Portugal re-united, horrible economic consequences from the wars and the general incompetence of my kings in the last 25 years has left my budding realm a wreck economically and politically.
I'm guessing the next step is to sit tight and have kids, but my brilliant Italian wife/chancellor is stubbornly depressed (before she took her Arab lover and after I exiled him). Any strategies for dealing with generational incompetence before my hopefully soon to be born sons can inherit?
