I'm playing the Byzantines in the late 1480's and the bloody Palaiologos family keeps generating 3/3/5 leaders. How can I inject some higher quality genes into this disaster of a dynasty?
Also, same game, my long-term ally Wallachia (who have built a perfect modern Romania on their own) keep showing "impossible" vassalisation chance. They don't feel threatened by me and I have a few good SoIed nations to boost my dimwited leader's diplo stats. What else can I do?
Finally, Trebizond (actualy in Crimea), Georgia and Molvadia live in perpetual occupation by the Golden Shower Horde. They won't make peace for some reason - nor will they ally with me so I can help. Short of installing the latest beta patch and let the idiots be conquered, what can I do?
