[SUGGESTION] Please add a Seduce plot for characters.
I think adding a Seduce plot would be a great addition. When I play PB VIET - they have a Seduce plot for characters and I frequently use it to make bastards with accompanying claims to the other parent's demense (as well as my own) and work on "clearing" the way for my bastard offspring by knocking off the other parent's legitimate offspring in front of him/her. My normal procedure is to have two or three offspring, then go try seduce my liege and produce a bastard by him/her. Then use that bastard to advance my own family's political power through him/her using claims/assassinations/usurpation.
It also has very strong historical parallels for instance Henry Tudor (later Henry VII) the Beauforts (through Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt) that would eventually lead to Henry IV's usurpation from Richard II. And throughout history, bastards with royal blood have always posed serious threats to the throne.
And it also could be done for political reasons...publicly cuckolding a rival is a pretty old political maneuver to make him the laughing stock of the country. Caesar frequently did that to his political rivals.
Additionally include the option to legitimize a bastard...as was done with Ramsey Bolton and the Blackfyres. The fact that Ramsey Bolton got legitimized means you don't necessarily have to be a royal bastard to get legitimized.
