I have an idea for the game. It has been suggested that there is a sort of inheritablity for traits in CK. Education of heirs should also be included imho.

Assuming monarch traits are similar to EU this situation could be an example. I have a son that will be an heir. I have a choice of three educational opportunities. I can send him travelling to foriegn courts as part of an education. I can have him educated in a military setting. I can have him trained through the clergy. The first option would provide a bonus to the diplomatic rating of our future monarch, the second his military rating, and the third his administrative rating. Of course the bonuses could change with a new set of skills in CK.

There could also be drawbacks to the educational choices. In a military education your heir could suffer an early death. A foriegn land may ransom your son if he is being sent there for education. A clerical education will hurt his future military rating.

Just an idea I wanted to toss out there.
 
And if you have three sons you can cover teh lot.

Were many of these guys literate before, say, the 1300s?

Admittedly, I have a vision of English monarchs post Conquest that is rather brutish.

The three son thing isn't really my idea--as only one will be monarch you can only cover one area. Nor is the "brutish" quality of monarchs so important either.

Basically individual heirs must spend their childhood somehow. As monarch you should choose how your heir and son spend their days. You can send them to become literate and wise by studying with priests and monks. You can give them culture by having them travel and mix with society to some extent. You can have them learn riding and other useful military skills. Your choice will determine the type of monarch that follows you.
 
I heard somebody saying that we have an education system in the game, and that there are three options, and that each has advantges and drawbacks but not simple & linear -- rather wisely devised by Boris to be more life-like, and that we will not reveal how each works but you will have to play and see for yourself what it does to your heirs... Just a rumour, you know :) .

Keep those rumors coming. They are feeding our habit.:)
 
I remember reading that lords sent their sons to be under the care of another lord (relative?). It would be good to send a daughter to a convent, or even you wife.:D Could increase piety.;)
Perhaps if a son is raised for religion, they can get high religious position and lend you some influence in the Church.
 
Well, this sort of thing did happen historically - different sons were raised for differing roles. Henry I of England, as a younger son, was raised to become a member of the Church, and thus was taught to read and be much less brutish than his brothers. The same with King John. So this would be a feature totally in line with history...
 
I like this! Could I have some kind of combination? I mean that like, if a son were educated first at military school, then you decvide to send him to another country for university. Then maybe, for example, total military background = +2 military rate, but mix = 1+ military, and +1 diplomacy. You know what I mean?

We even have this today...son number one is raised to assume the role of king ( Royal Navy ) ...son number 2 less so ( Royal Navy as well ) number 3....isn't he a television producer or something...


The Disenfranchised son usually off went into the clergy or some such thing.

I think it was called fostering when one would send your son to be raised by another lord...yet I feel thats not quite the right word I'm looking for....there is even a more specific word for it.

Will there be some sort of random factor such as if a son becomes rebellious and runs away?

Maybe you could disown him, or he could bring a lose of prestige to show how he has dishonored his family. Girls could go to a coventry or if they are to be Queen/ Emperess they could sit in court and learn matters of state, same thing for boys.

more likely you'll have to raise an army to keep him from usurping...
 
I think this is a brilliant idea. IIRC this is still done in many SA countries were one son go into goverment the second into military and the third into the clergy. At this time it must have been very important to have strong blood-connections with the first and last as the military was notof standing army type in those days but the clergy much more important.
