2.62 [TPOW] Can Legitimise Landed Bastard, Children do not change Dynasty

[SigurdStormhand]

So now it's possible to legimise your bastards even after they are landed, which I don't think you used to be able to do. Anyway - their children don't change Dynasty, they continue to be of the new Dynasty the Bastard has spawned.

This doesn't make a lot of sense (you would expect that legimising your son would change the Dynasty of his legitimate children) and it somewhat defeats the point of legitimising him to begin with as non Dynasts will inherit his titles (if he already has a son).

It would be quite easy to get caught out by this if you were in Primogeniture and could well lead to you losing the game.

can a legitimized bastard inherit?

you change the status of one of your bastard kid, not your grand kids. I guess dynasty members will not be happy if you legitimize a bastard, if you legitimize all his kids, what a mess!

Anyway, I guess there is the option to kill your non dynastic grand kids... it is even more cool, they are not of your Dynasty, so no penalty for killing a member of your dynasty

A Legitimised bastard can inherit and irrc they take their chronological place in the order of succession.

So if you're 50 and your two legitimate sons both pop it due to Plague, and you have one good 25-year old bastard you can legitimise him, but apparently he doesn't confer his new Dynasty on his children. Worse, if you then get a new wife and she pops out a sprog said sprog will not inherit.

This could lose you the game, because you would EXPECT that once legitimised your son would pass your Dynasty on to all his children, not just the ones he has after Legitimisation.
