Removal of inheriting stats in DV

[Aldrahill]

Why did Deus Vult remove the inheritance of stats? Before DV, one could groom their children's stats by pairing your ruler with a high stat wife, thus allowing you to cultiate your children down the line, possibly with the ability to roleplay your ruler falling in love and marrying someone with not the best intrigue skill.

What was the reason for the removal of that feature?

Sam,

Sam,

The reason was that after a while of breeding your rulers would have too good, gamebreaking stats in a range that made the game too easy.

It was ultimately a good change. The fact is, it was unrealistic and made the game too easy. I understand nothing forced you to play like that, but it was still ultimately an exploit of sorts. How would your Irish dynasty know that a random woman with poor breeding in Greece was a genius, then proceed to marry her because they know it will create superhumans years ahead?

It made no sense and it's a feature I don't miss.

It was unrealistic and played into the stereotype of smart people producing smart children while dumb people produce ever dumber offspring.
