I don't play this game, but I will buy it soon. Therefore I have some questions.
Can you get bastard children that are not of noble blood in this game? I believe that is what's called baseborn children (according to a song of ice and fire...)
So what happens if the king dies without a true heir? I know a legitimized bastard would do, but what are the requirements?
Can for example, if they exist in the game, a baseborn child take the throne if the king has no heir? And will the game continue in that case?
I've been reading a lot of aSoIaF lately... The Westeros mod seems cool.
Also, i believe you can only legitimize him if he is younger than 16 years.
A Father (not sure if Mothers can, seems unlikely) can decide to Legitimize any of his bastard children. It's with the political decisions on the Intrigue window.
Of course, this generally pisses off your wife... and the mother's husband...
No; a non-legitimized bastard is part of the mother's dynasty. (Now I'm curious how it works with queens in a matrilineal marriage -- I guess they can't have bastards.)
CK2, the only game where discussions such as these make sense.
Actually, a non-legitimised bastard is classed as Lowborn, not of either dynasty
Yep, if he is a "legitimized bastard".
I had a bastard king on my last game, his stats were so much better than my other sons
