Educate child not working right?

[robc04]

The displayed info for educating my child with a member of my court says that their opinion of me will go up by 20. I have tried this two times and there wasn't any change in their opinion of me. Bug?

Also, are the only purposes in sending off a child to be educated:
1) The child gets stat increases or traits based on the educator.
2) The educator's opinion of you is supposed to improve.

Thanks

If you let your child be educated by a courtier of a different culture or religion it might adopt that culture/religion. Hurts when it happens to your own kids, might be useful when educating your enemies spawn.

When you're educating a child, you get certain events that come up, letting you make decisions that determine their traits. Its very important that you educate your own heri so you can do your best to mold them into a good ruler. I always use my 2 education slots on my sons when I have them.

Thanks for the replies.

Do you know why I didn't get the opinon boost that the UI says I should have gotten?

Thanks again.

It seems like sometimes the educator gets a relation boost, and sometimes they don't. I'm not sure what determines it.

I've never been able to educate the child of another kingdom or for that matter have them educate mines, What gives?

Lot's of things could be an issue, are you using your kids diplo screen to select a mentor, or the target lord? Your kids screen will only show possible choices from your court and vassals.
Also lords can only have 2 wards, not normally an issue, but it could be. Also the whole thing comes with a warning about culture flips.

Hovering over the "No" or "Yes" will tell you what factors go into a diplomatic decision.

I've been able to do both many times, by the way.

Send your diplomat to improve relations with a foreign ruler in order to educate their children. Get it high enough and they'll come.

Of course i know this, Thats everyones excuse. I guess it comes down to how well the ruler likes me.
