Training heirs

[Jeroen Hill]

I read an article about training heirs and so I went practising and I noticed something.

1. If you use inquisters on your heir, his euhm piety goes up. I had it to the max. However, a new v&v arrived saying this man was believed to be a atheist or something. Now how is that if this guy has a piety of max?

2. Any way to improve command level on a heir?

As far as i know it's the same as for any regular general:

- win battles (the first stars are easy to gain but after that it takes a while);

- hope they get a good V&V;

- once they are no longer princes, assign a title that gives a command bonus...

How I've seen it explained before is this: even though the general has passed the inquisition, he's still very upset with the catholic church for putting him through the whole thing in the first place.

I was the turkish sultan http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif and i have 8 heirs but just the last was good..my influence drops like hell so i was above the disaster and i thought that is ok to sacrifice me in order to make my best son the next sultan
so i get the other 7 heirs in same army with me ( just ghulams http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif ) and i attack hazar over the blac sea in order to let them without way of escape.my 8 units army of ghulams actually make the russians retret from khazar.then i storm north
twice army retreat
i decide to suicide myself in moscow so i turn in that direction.russians retreat everwhere.i turned south to kick Moldavia and Valachia ( byzantines both ) in order to loose.but i finished back in Constantinopole just in time .my son just declare civil war.my 2 best gen ( level 9 )one in greece one in bulgaria took my part ( royal blood ...neh ? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif ) and i win the war in no time; i lost only Cyprus just for few years.my sultan regain influence very big after the civil war. i decapitated my son .

the salt & pepper of the SP is creating those princes; so dont worry how they are; just enjoy the game http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Once they are no longer princes, to assign a title? But when they're not a prince anymore, they are a king.

King has 4 Sons.

Son 1,
Son 2,
Son 3,
Son 4.

Son 1 becomes king upon his fathers death.

Son 2, Son 3, and Son 4, are now generals of Royal blood.

Thereby you can assign a title to them.

[MacGregor]

The princes don't become Royal Generals until their Nephew becomes King, when their brother is the king they are still listed as Princes.

[Syterion]

To raise the command level of my heirs, I go destroy a small, weak, meaningless province, then set takes to very high and have no garrison. I get my king and defend the province. When a revolt happens, kill the peasants and camp by the place where reinforcemnts come. The reinforcements should come and immediatly retreat. After you do this a few times, your king will raise his command level. This makes it so your heirs mature into better generals faster. So after a generation, you can have a few heirs with 8-9 stars.

It is useful. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
