I'm dedicated munchkin & like to play with numbers, then it is just a "munchkin observation" http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif.
I found out that you can get heir with the same stats (V & V's) consistently. More then that, you can change his stats in your favor - if you wish it & if you "dedicated munchkin" indeed.
For example: If you are playing leave the game (through "Quit").
Begin New campaign/Expert/Early/Almohad.
1087.
Place all titles:
Amir of Cordoba & Qadi-al-Quda to - Sah.Cav commander from Tunisia
Amir of Granada to - Des.Arch commander from Morocco
Amir of Morocco to - Des.Arch from Cordoba
Amir of Algeria to - Berber Camels from Algeria
Amir of Tunisia to - Des.Arch from Cyrenaica
Amir of Cyrenaica to - AUM from Cordoba.
Move: All stack from Cyrenaica to Tunisia
All stack from Tunisia to Algeria
All stack from Algeria to Morocco
Berb. Camels & Musl. Peas from Morocco to Cordoba
Des. Arch from Morocco to Granada
Emissary from Morocco to Algeria
All stack from Granada to Cordoba
Produce:
Cyrenaice - Fort
Tunisia - Fort
Algeria - Fort
Morocco - Keep; Des. Arch in long queue
Granada - Fort
Cordoba - Mosque; AUM in queue of 4 units
Save game.
Exit through "Quit"
Begin all game again (from outside).
Load "1087 Almohad".
Press "End of Turn".
1088 - check results - in Cordoba you will rise AUM unit with awesome stats http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif - "4 Acumen with 1 star of Command" (It is future "Amir of Castille"!http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif - not very impressive, but it's just beginning.
Move:
All stack from Tunisia to Algeria
Emissar from Algeria to Tunisia, all other to Morocco
All stack from Morocco to Cordoba.
All possible units from Cordoba in one big stack into Castille.
(Des.Archer in Granada rest from this moment till next century http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif. )
Save game.
Exit through "Quit".
Begin all game again (from outside).
Load "1088 Almohad".
Press "End of Turn".
Surprise - Spaniards didn't like to fight & abandon Castille
1089 - check results - you'll get in Castille Fort & Royal Court.
Produce in Castille - Keep & 2 Emissaries in queue
Make Amir of Castille previous mentioned AUM commander.
Move:
Emissar from Tunisia to Cyrenaice
All stack from Algeria to Morocco
All stack from Morocco to Cordoba
All stack from Cordoba to Castille.
Lower taxes in Tunisia & Cyrenaice to reach "above 100%" lvl.
Save game.
Exit through "Quit"
Begin all game again (from outside).
Load "1089 Almohad".
Press "End of Turn".
You'll get your first heir - Prince Yusef. He has awesome stats & one V&Vs - "Materialist" (+1 Acumen).
If you want to make an experiment, you can move in 1087 Desert Archer from Morocco not in Granada, but - in Cordoba. In this case you will get Prince Yusef with rather lame stats due to fact that his "V&Vs" would be "Pride" - (it is strictly worse then "Materialistic" due to fact that your Khalifah will die very soon & your main "battle hero" would be next Heir Prince Ali, but Khalifah Yusuf II had to have as big Acumen as possible.)
It is not most fun side of this story Let's continue.
Move:
Emissary from Cyrenaice to Egypt.
All stack from Morocco to Cordoba.
All stack (with Yusef as Commander) from Cordoba to Leon.
All Muslim Peasants from Castille back to Cordoba.
Khalifah Yusef leave in Castille, but all other stack (minus all peasants & Khalifah) into Leon.
Save game.
Exit through "Quit"
Begin all game again (from outside).
Load "1090 Almohad".
Press "End of Turn".
Most weird thing - all Spaniards always leave Leon & counter-attacking you in Castille But you will couted as "Defensive" side in Castille fighting & your Khalifah will get his "V&V's" "Field Defendce Specialist" bonus - it would be just a cruel massacre of ALL Spanish Forces.
After your victory - Spanish Factions would be completely wiped out (& all sons of Spanish King will be killed or executed without your permission immediately after battle - then Spain NEVER would be resurrected at all!http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif & you will get Leon "in silver plate with gold ring" without any siege
If you attack Aragon in this year (after Spain total extermination) you'll get all Iberian peninsula immediately to yourself. Enjoy it
P.S. Yes, I know - it is very bothersome: to exit game after each saving, & every time to begin new game for any new load, but you'll get complete consistency & complete replayability of your games. Oh, if you'll give AI count your battles automatically - it will get the same result every time
I've already finished one Almohad campaign by that method - it's not very funny, but consistency of THE SAME RESULTS is absolute.
Sincerely yours - dedicated Munchkin.
Surprise - Spaniards didn't like to fight & abandon Castille
