Slave Mechanics

[Gunburned]

I was playing around with slaves and their mechanics are pretty awesome but what do you do with them besides selling?
Another note selling slaves begin to become tedious after the 3rd sale and such.
What is everyone thinking?

Yeah, it isn't the most streamlined of features. The only thing you seem to be able to do with personal slaves is breed them. To make sure you minimize whip-casualties try to find a perfect match who will always agree to do it. Generally girls sell for 250, boys for 80.

This is a thought, not tested, don't know if it's possible.

As we all should know, if you're playing as the ruler of a republic, you get a +1 trade post bonus for adult male family members in court. Now, let's say you're the ruler of a republic, and your brother is scheming to do whatever, doesn't matter. You imprison and enslave him. Now you force him to breed. Ah, but all the children will be born bastards, and thus not part of your dynasty! Well, let's say you married him to a woman that you knew was plotting to do whatever. You imprison and enslave her too. You force him to breed with his wife, and the children presumably are a part of your dynasty and when mature, give you the plus one trade post bonus. Repeat until your court is full of adult male family members.

I haven't checked this out myself, has anyone? Can anybody tell me if this is doable? I like playing as a republic but only if I make an absurd amount of money.

Soo much piety penalties with slave breeding events doesnt seem to be worth it much

I don't think slaves can marry.

It is a really large amount of piety lost, but then again, why would you want piety as a republic?

I'm not sure about that. I do know that if they are already married, they will stay married if you enslave them. So, I guess you could marry off your brother first, then enslave him and his wife.
