Monarch Points From Adult Heirs

[Mattius]

Pretty self explanatory. Maybe you'd only get half, but it should be something. Also, Constitutional Monarchies and the like should have Prime Ministers. I think this (Prime ministers especially) could help take some of the RNG out of monarch point generation.

Perhaps only if your heir was more capable than your ruler. Or if you could choose to turn your heir into a free or discounted advisor?

I only like this idea if the max you can get is 3 points per month and only in 1 category otherwise it would become more or less mandatory to make your heir into advisor every time because they are simply much better than real advisors.
Perhaps you could turn your heir into advisor who can work in any of the 3 categories and the amount of monarch points he would give you was simply his ADM/DIP/MIL score divided by 2 rounded up. So, 1 to 2 = 1 point/month, 3 to 4 = 2 points/month and 5 to 6 = 3 points/month.

To make it different from ordinary advisors your heir should cost at least 50% less "maintenance" not sure if it should be completely free tho, thats a balancing question for developers should they adapt this idea i guess.

Why not putting the heir as advisor while not adult and get a +1 in his stats when he grow? (it's not the same subject i know^^)

Actually, I could see that there should be some chance for an event that if the heir's particular skill is low (less than 5), there's a chance (scaled by his current skill) that he could gain one point (to a maximum of 4 or 5) in that particular skill having worked as an advisor for a long time (say, more than 5 years). This could be a useful way of "training" heir to rule but would only work as an adult or maybe around the age of 20.

"if heir particular is low (less than 5)"???? Less than 5? In most games 5 is the best MP you can get.

Scaled buddy. The chance to get to 5 would be extremely low, but nevertheless possible.

My friend got a 6/6/5 when we were playing the other day.

I like this idea a lot, actually. I think that special heir advisor portraits would be pretty awesome.

I don't like the idea of kids serving as advisors. That would certainly be quite strange.

Well yeah, I think this change would warrant a bunch of events.
