Ive tried very hard to use the guides to train up good generals/governors so most have various levels of good taxman, farmer and trader traits....
But im afarid that all my hard work to groom the venetian bloodline would end me up with some "Utterly insane", "Totaly Closed", "Embezzelers" inbreeds...
So should i try to opt for some adoption to get fresh blood into this nest of degenerates?
What have i done wrongly to get so appaling traits when the whelps come of age? I tought having a chivalourous grand crusader as father and grandfather should set some kind of example? The heir married a spanish princess, maybe thats where the problem lies?
