Are childhood traits more likely to become one over the other if the guardian has that trait? For example, if a child has Curious, will it more likely become Shrewd if the guardian has it? I know that Curious can become Patient only if the Guardian is Patient, but I'm not sure if that applies otherwise.
While I'm at it, Is there any difference between "Educator" and "Guardian"? Will a character influence their ward more effectively if officially labeled as Guardian as opposed to the default Educator?

Does how much a Councilor like your ruler change how effective they are in their job? Specifically, if they have low or red levels, does that mean the tasks you assign them have less chance of completing successfully then the listed amount?
I ask because I've had a couple of 20+ Dip. Chancellors on two separate occasions go 5-10 years and never create a Claim - both with 10 or less like for the ruler. Then I've put in a 15 Dip. Chancellor that liked me at 40+ and both times they had a claim within months.

Cancelors get an event when they are about to manufacture a claim where the target can try to murder them or bribe them.
If they hate you, they will likely accept the bribe.
Doesn't matter that much for other councillors afaik, except the spymaster of course.

Possibly, but the one you really need to worry about is your spymaster because he may be bribed into helping assassinate you.
The councilor's opinion of the liege has no effect on how well they perform their tasks. But if the Spymaster hates you he can join plots against you and they won't get revealed. He'll also add a lot of plot power. So keep your Spymaster happy, but don't worry about the rest.
What happens to concubines when you convert from tribal to feudal?
Edit: When playing as a religion/culture that normally can't have them, like the Irish Catholic tribes in the 769 start

Nothing happens. Concubines are a feature of the religion, not of the government type. So if you keep your religion you will also keep your concubines. But if you change from a religion that allows concubines to one that doesn't then you lose them as concubines. They will still stay in your court though. And if you convert from a religion that allows concubines to one that allows polygamy (any form of Islam) they become wives IIRC.
Tribal Irish doesn't seem to follow this then, as they are Catholic, which doesn't normally allow concubines, but I have some.
Tribal and nomadic rulers can take concubines regardless of religion, except if they're Muslim in which case they get polygamy instead. For example, tribal Catholic Irishmen and Picts/Scots in 769 and 867.
Before answering I started up the game as an Catholic Irish tribal chief in 867 and I couldn't take any concubines. No mods involved.
Though I've now done some more checking and it seems that something is wrong on my end. All the other Irish men in my game have the concubine field on their character screen (including my heir) but I don't. I just have the sibling field. And if I switch character the character I previously played now has the field while the new character doesn't.
Be that as it may, if tribals can take concubines but their religion does not allow taking concubines when feudal, then I presume it's going to be the same as a feudal character switching from a religion that does allow concubines to one that doesn't. With other words, you lose them as concubines but they remain in your court.

As Dragatus said, they become normal members of your court. In some cases they will almost immediately leave to join a different court but most will stay as courtiers.
So, here's a really stupid question: when you invade a province and siege its holdings, does it suffer any economic penalty besides (if you win) the new administration penalty? I feel like I've seen provinces change color in the economic map when they've merely been sieged, not taken over, but I might be mistaken.
If you have The Reaper's Due sieges reduce the Prosperity of a province. Besides that though i do not know of any other negative effects. I suppose it's not impossible that a siege might block tax collection in a province, but that's not something I've ever tested.
What's wrong is you don't have Charlemagne. For some reason they decided to make it so the player needs this DLC to take concubines as a Christian or Jewish tribal/nomadic ruler, but the AI doesn't. It confused the hell out of me at first too, since it's just about the only case I know of that works this way. Generally, if you're allowed to play a character at all, you get all the same features the AI does.
Thanks, I will keep a look-out for the future CKII DLC. I have tried to verify integrity of game files option for Crusader Kings Complete, but it still won't work. I have Windows 7 as my main OS. Does anyone know if you need to run this in compatibility mode for it to work?
You shouldn't, the game has Win7 listed as a minimum requirement and I have it running just fine on two vastly different 64-bit Windows 10 machines. And I've honestly never seen compatibility mode do a hell of a lot to solve problems anyway.
You might want to try doing a complete clean uninstall and reinstall (hang onto your saves though). If that doesn't work, take it to the troubleshooting forum.
@Cottondog is talking about CK1.....and should post either in the CK1 forum or ask tech support directly at
