Posting here rather than in the DVIP thread, as I'm unsure as to whether it is related to the mod.

I've got a child ruler of 13, in other words in the midst of education and puberty. So, seems that hunting girls interests him more than improving his über-stats: in three years, I've gotten the "A child's ability is severely lowered" (or something alike, I can't remember the exact wording) three times, twice for martial stats and once for stewardship. That can't be WAD, can it?

Yeah, it's part of the mod. The question was brought up again recently and is just one page back in that DVIP thread if would have looked. ;)

Long story short: It's to fix game balance. Stat scores are not all supposed to hit the teens or 20+ regularly.

Ever start a game and groan that every courtier you have at the start seems worthless compared to the ones you will have later? That's because those later courtiers are taking advantage of a game bug that allows their scores to improve dramatically during childhood. Those events that lower their scores are triggering as a means to deal with these game-breaking stat scores.

Ah!

Thanks for the explanation, and pardon my laziness. :D
