That's what I said, but you can't make you heir take wows (become a monk or nun) unless they are imprisoned.
My heir is a bit slow. How can this be "dealt with"

I believe you said land them a temple ;-) not the same
but seems we agree on it
Well you can't land them a temple if they are your direct heir, so to land them you first have ti have them take the wows. Landing them is just to make sure they don't show up at the head of a host invasion after a decade or so.I believe you said land them a temple ;-) not the same
didn´t know they could do that, thought they would lose that ability aswell...
Nope, that said in either case they can still be installed by faction demand.
Had some quite interesting outcomes when my genius heir died and early and left me what I believed was a bad heir... When he was educated and with focus, he actually outbested the genius in most stats... RNG can be a blessing aswell as a bitch
Genius is always misleading, 9/10 if you take away the genius trait the person is really crappy or mediocre at best
Slow is OK! Just means he is a doer and not a thinker. As long as he isnt an imbecile he will be fine if he is educated right and has an opportunity to gain experience.
But if he is a child, easy to kill. Once he is 6 make his guardian your spymaster or someone else in on your plot.
I have also in the past educated one with in a other realm I was going to declare war on and they have imprisoned him

You can have some great geniuses, but RNG can be a bitch... As stated, I have had some great stats without the trait... but genius has become even harder to gain, so I don´t really hope for it anymore... Also because I know the luck about it... Whenever I get one, he dies before he can take the throne or dies shortly after ;-)

I got a genius shrewd ambitious guy of my dynasty set to inherit ireland (and with a claim on the HRE) in my current hre game, but then I failed to get him elected emperor (probably because he was irish) and he died before hitting 20. So now my current heir is a glutton with a lisp.
Nice touch there with having your wife and his stepmom do the dirty deed for you. Since she's the Byzantine Empress, nobody won't be able to trace the scheme back to you and your name is kept clean.
I had a number of geniuses with 20+ Diplomacy AND 20+ Stewardship.
I also had a genius queen with 25 Learning who researched Tolerance quickly and successfully pushed for gender equality laws. Quite thematic when you think about it. She also achieved 15+ Diplomacy and Stewardship in her later years, due to various focus bonuses.
Elective is a bitch too. I have no idea why my vassals started a faction for it. Before that they had the chance of having a weak liege and break me apart. Now they have a genius liege after another one, with occasional genius+attractive or genius+strong ones.
elective is for AI to become elected
it's determined the least restrictive and lowest tier of succession law
It's OK for AI to occasionally become elected, as long as they are all of your dynasty.elective is for AI to become elected
Also, I find unpopular rulers get better successions. Unpopular rulers usually start their rules with a faction war, which enables them to replace half of their vassals and gain a hefty "crushed a major revolt" bonus. Afterwards all you have are happy vassals voting for whoever you want. And by using focuses the said unpopular rulers can usually get rid of the traits that made them unpopular in the first place.
Popular rulers, on the other hand, don't have the opportunity to do the same without incurring huge tyranny, and tyranny is harder to get rid of than bad traits :|
True... Though sometimes a major revolt is not very well-liked when you are in fragile state anyway ;-) You can game the elective for most parts also... Get the heir you want over gavelkind and eldest son (who is bad)... Personally prefer gavelkind for some reason...It's OK for AI to occasionally become elected, as long as they are all of your dynasty.
