Why use this privilege and aren't you taking a huge mega loss of income for no real benefit? Am I missing something? And if yes, what am I missing?
It's a scaling bonus, from the wiki:It's also really usefull if you need to get rid of an heir day one, if your prestige is negative you get +30 instead of the normal +15 !

Formed Mali Empire in two separate games, both on Ironman and disinherited my heir both times on day 1. The -50 prestige wasn't that awful for all that long. I'm not saying it didn't make things harder, I'm just saying that the game wasn't unplayable on day 2 because of -50 prestige.Because if I'm playing Karaman I want to be able to disinherit my awful heir and not be at -50 prestige
If country is balancing on the verge of poverty, citizens may not be able to appreciate this. Otherwise it's a fine reason.I use, cuz I dont want be remember by citizens as tyrant and destructor of nations but also as human of art, cultist of beauty etc.
Don't think anyone's saying it's unplayable, but -5% morale when you have basically no other combat modifiers yet means you're fighting at a disadvantageFormed Mali Empire in two separate games, both on Ironman and disinherited my heir both times on day 1.

Could be an oversight indeed, but for practical reasons I don't think this "abuse" is very dramatic, you lose 20 loyalty everytime you do it, under normal circumstances you can only do this once, as then you don't have more loyalty than influence anymore, you will also likely face the negative loyalty penalties and if you seize estate lands also rebels.Q: "Why is this in the game?"
A: "For metagaming abuse."
Ah, EU4. EU4 never changes.
Speaking of which, seems like an oversight that a privilege that gives an instant benefit can be immediately revoked and given again until satisfaction. I try to imagine a ruler doing this over the course of a day and all I can see is a plot forming to depose his schizophrenic butt.
