How do I restore Guardian Prompt

[Naughtius Maximus]

So I just recently started playing Conclave. The most irritating thing about it are not the mechanics or anything.

It's the fact I lose the child requires guardian prompt that used to occur when a child turns 6. With no guardian I've noticed the stats that come out of my children are garbage.

I've checked the menu prompts and I can't seem to find it anywhere, aside from "child loses guardian." Is there anyways I can restore the old prompt that tells you to pick a guardian when a child turns 6?

On a side note, is there some kind of prompt for children turning 6 elsewhere in your realm? Or at least of people you've marked (with silver star?) Would help a lot, honestly.

You don't need to appoint guardians anymore (except to cut down event spam & some special circumstances). Thus why no prompt. (the other two prompts do just fine in identifying children to educate without adding another one).

There isn't a child turns 6 (or 5/12) event, which is a pity, but again its use is now limited (your only ability to influence children in other courts is to use favors to change to heritage focus)

So is there a way to get good stats then? Previously before conclave I could just stick kids to some guardian and they will generally have a primary stat in at least 15+, with a few secondary stat in the low teens.

In this first conclave game I struggle with getting even 15 in the primary stat from kids bouncing around in my court, let alone any respectable secondary (non focused) stat.

I would be up for this too - most of the time not needing to assign a guardian is fine. However, sometimes the character you are playing as might be crap or you might want to educate a child a certain way that your current character is badly suited for.

OP, education has been made a bit more balanced and considerably tougher - you can't just breed perfect characters all the time.

Usually you've done well if the primary stat is in the teens and the rest are around 8-9.

Yeah I understand. Would make up for how incredibly easy it is to keep revolts from happening. Lock up all that power in the 6 strongest vassals and no faction even approaches 80%.

Having said that, if I were to aim for great stats, how would I go about getting it? Stock my court with a ton of high stat courtiers?

The best results I've had have been developing characters from the one I've been playing. I've progressively developed better characters with WoL foci and the resulting children have improved over generations.

I have no basis for this, but the level of the focus education stat seems to be more important than the education trait now. For example I've produced Midas touched characters with a 15 stewardship charismatic negotiator.

If I recall correctly from a dev post about the new education mechanics, the growth of a child's base stats (before modification by traits) is now influenced by the base stats of their parents, and the guardian or educator is irrelevant.

I tend to find there are plenty of ways for adults to increase their own stats through Way of Life events, so it's hardly the end of the world if an heir is a bit mediocre.
