Muslim ruler: how to disenfranchise sons without killing them?

[Yxklyx]

Prison is great but things can get precarious if they start dying and you're down to only 3 kids in your entire dynasty. A few more deaths and it's game over. Note that they don't cause Decadence if they're in a court not of your Dynasty so if you can manage it that would be a good place to stow some of them. Also, I don't think it was mentioned but there's a global modifier based on how small your demesne is as well. With a huge Empire I was forced to get my demesne size down to 2 or 3 to take advantage of that modifier.

I was completely unaware of the 'free' room in the oubilette for dynasty members - note to self: RTFM... With that tactic it actually turns the whole situation on it's head making it very easy to manage your realm(s), this was essentially the key I was looking for as I was looking for a bishopric equivalent, so this is it. Thank you!

With the multiple wives availed to you as a Muslim, depopulation is rarely a problem.

That and Muslim women seem more fertile, having a dozen kids to one or more wives isn't that hard
