NOT A BUG: Death of Talent

[Duuk]

Dearth of Talent

Since the patch, most people seem to have stats of 1-3. Shouldn't the average be 5?

Also, this causes rebellions among vassals since the diplomacy value of the liege is low and his "chancellor" has a diplomacy of 3 (making them exceptional!)

Played a bit further.

It seems that everyone has pathetic skill rating after 2 generations. This means that having positive vassal loyalty is impossible since a "high" diplomacy value is nearly unreachable.

I'll spend the rest of the game trying to keep my grandson (2nd in line to the throne of Brandenburg, an independant Duchy and likely the strongest state in the north) from rebelling.

Looks like CK goes back on the shelf for a while.

I've noticed that a husband and wife with super stats have a lot of offrsping with low stats, sometimes even 0. Some have stated that this is because the "counter" resets, so when the child is supposed to have a stat of 11, he gets 0 instead. Maybe a hard cap on the values could solve it?

I also noticed that the average courtiers have low stats (mostly the clones) but with the other there are still enough with good stats.

I am in the 4th generation and the stats are as follows.

Diplo king 6 chancellor 11
Steward king 9 steward 13
martial king 7 marshal 14 (and he even is a bastard uncle)
intrigue king 6 spymaster 11

So there still is enough quality in my game. My heir has even betters stats then me.

I'm not sure this is a bug, as others have had superior stats fro may persons in their games.

could it be related to your bad luck?
or perhaps your mission from God?

People manage to do Genetics Enhancement Breeding program, so this was just bad luck.

Feel free to convince me it was not...
