Champion Management options

[The Founder]

Champions are a interesting part of the new Warfare, but I feel like some of the management could be simplified. The main issue is that traits can change the Prowess values varry quickly, nevermind the changing nature of who is a Council Member.
A few things I would like to have added:
1. Automatically disallow (low Prowess) Councilmembers - so they do not die or get maimed
2. Automatically force low opinion Vassals - so they do die or get maimed*
3. Automatically disallow (low Prowess) heirs and Dynasty members
4. Automatically disallow (low Prowess) Spouses/Concubines of Heirs and Dynasty Members (somewhat of a fringe case, but it exists).
5. Disallow (low Prowess) members with Desirable traits (see my Sugestion about Dynastic Beuaty Ideal)

*On this front, it may be desireable for any Vassal with low Prowess to send a substitute (family or hired) instead to fullfill the obligation

All those Automatics should still be manually overwriteable. But it gives a usefull baseline.

As my mention of prowess indicates, it would be nice to have 3 Options for eacht Category (Coulcilmembers, low Opinion Vassals, etc.):
- No preference
- Only applies to low Prowess Members of the Group
- All Prowess Members of the Group

Related to forcing, is there any drawback to doing so? It'd be interesting is low opinion vassals understood they were being put in harms way, maybe to eliminate them. Obviously some may still relish being a knight -- e.g. Brave, etc. But Craven ones? Or others with very low opinion? It could be interesting.

Another interaction with vassals to make them a bit more individual and lively -- and perhaps another "crime" that could be instituted with say High Crown Authority.

To my knowledge, currently not. I tried it with a Craven with Prowess 3. No relationship penalty.

It should propably be a thing. But so should be substitution.

I genuinely read this as "Championship Manager options" when skimming through the list.

This would definitely improve my play experience. Especially an "automatically disallow members of my dynasty" option would save me a lot of manually scrolling through the list and clicking "disallow".

I would not usually check that, but then I usuall play Gavelkind with Concubines or Polygamy. They breed so fast, most of my renown gain is just from "living Members" and I would like it if a potential Heir kicks the bucket before reproducing.

I guess in Monogamy it kinda maters more?

If might knights are riders and play Buzkashi for training, it could be that one too
