sure the king doesn't last long but the generations do.

frequently, I get 5-6 offspring and 4 of them becomes exheirs soon.

with some heir farming and eugenics, I always get those exheirs to be 7* or 8*.

having a gazillion of those with amazing acumen and dread in every province is wonderful.

I simply see fields of stars.

sure you lose a high star commander now but you get many more later if you make your best stat prince king (with exception of 8* or 9* as the wraparound might destroy you)
