Legitimacy not raising. Why??

[conanthelibrari]

Playing Sweden 1399, broke from Denmark and got a ruler with 20 legitimacy. I understand that. Problem is, it is not increasing, despite the fact I have several royal marriages and another modifier that should have my legitimacy oging up by 1% per

year. But in the last 10 years it has not moved at all. Why is that? His hier has a strong claim. Will he never move up due to being the "new" ruler of Sweden? Thanks for the hlep.

Is anything lowering it, like WE?

I've noticed the same thing, the +1%/year I am supposed to get from maxed Prestige doesn't seem to do anything. In 4.0c that is.

But luckily, Grand Marshalls are pretty effective.

Nothing lowering it, no. I now should get 2% per year, but don't. Played as Austria in another game and never had any problems. Does it have anything to do with being a new ruler?? WIll his sone have this problem?

Are you commiting diplomatic acts of some sort that may be lowering your legitamacy at the same rate your are gaining it?

(I can't remember if any actions do lower it, but I seem to remember something having that effect)

Well claiming thrones and starting no CB wars lower it but those are huge chunks nothing on slow-tick-yearly base.

Try getting those Marshal great men and get more royal marriages, to get it to +10% or so and see if its still stuck.

Well he died and the son is gaining normally. Not sure what happened, but thanks.

In my case, legitimacy just seems to get stuck forever at whatever it is at (be it 33, 90 or 98) if the only active modifier is prestige.

I remember a post from a week or so where there seems to be a bit of a problem with calculations on some things.

You're gaining legitimacy at 1%/year. The game wants to do the legitimacy calculation once a month, so 0.083%/month. Because of the way legitimacy is tracked, this is too small a number to register, so nothing happens.

I haven't personally confirmed this, but it'd be interesting to get 2% (or 1.5% or some other number) as your yearly gain, then see how much you actually gain over a year to see if this calculation error is responsible.

Sounds plausible.

I have the same problem. Has anyone reported this as a bug?

 

[Dafool]

I don't know if it's related, but sometimes in my games Legitimacy doesn't rise up at all regardless of what factors should be raising it. I just have to do a reload and it starts moving up again.

AFAIK you don't gain legitimacy while you don't have an heir?

Might need to be tested, but I think this can be one cause.
