My Rulers cannot keep their wives

[Klausewitz]

My last three rulers have all been cheated on by their wives, i.e. the event where your queen has an affair with some advisor.
Has a recent patch increased the chance for that or is it just freak coincidence?

 

[Rikissa]

I haven't seen that event in months, so a freak occurence.

 

[Tom D.]

I had the same queen cheating on me twice in maybe 5 years! Was I happy when she finally died .

 

[Gnostek]

pick female advisors then (please don't take this reply seriously)

on a more serious note, I wonder if advisor gender/culture/religion/type is taken into account for the event

 

[Brynjar]

It can be avoided by not hireing the following types of advisors: Treasurer, Philosopher, Artist, Master of Mint and Natural Scientist of the opposite sex of your consort. In other words, any admin advisor except -2 unrest and + 2 missionary strength.

The MTTH is the same as before, as well as its modifiers. The modifiers can however greatly increase the chance of it happening

    mean_time_to_happen = {
        months = 1000

        modifier = {
            factor = 0.75
            OR = {
                ruler_has_personality = cruel_personality
                ruler_has_personality = infertile_personality
                ruler_has_personality = babbling_buffoon_personality
                ruler_has_personality = naive_personality
            }
        }
        modifier = {
            factor = 0.75
            OR = {
                consort_has_personality = sinner_personality
                consort_has_personality = drunkard_personality
                consort_has_personality = fertile_personality
            }
        }
    }

And here's the biggest problem of EU4 - in CK2, on the second cheat, I'd have earned myself the nickname "the Mutilator"; in EU4, all I can do is swallow my pride.

 

[Klausewitz]

My dynasty is cursed. I am actually not sure If I had more than one (!) ruler who was not cuckolded by his queen...

 

[Saberstrike]

Sad that there's only an option to execute the advisor for some unrest, but not the spouse for a -100 relations hit if she's a foreigner + giving them a CB on you; Or like 50% chance for +unrest and 50% chance for -unrest if she's a local. Probably wouldn't be very practical but it would be a neat way to break royal marriages you no longer want without taking the stab hit. Henry the 8th style.

 

[TheDutchWarlord]

As a catholic you have the option of asking the pope for a Divorce, which depending on if and how much Papal Authority you're willing to spend on it might actually happen, and if it doesn't I think the prestige hit you take is still lower then when you simply allow it to continue'(-15 prestige for allowing it to continue, -10 if the Pope says no to the divorce, IIRC)

What did you expected when you imported that savefile from CK2 with a hugly, crippled, retarded king?
