Was automatic educator assignment fixed?

[XYN]

Haven't played for a year, I wonder, was this thing fixed?

The AI picking educators seemengly completely randomly, resulting in things like a Norse Germanic court healer assigned as an educator to the heir of the Carolingian realm and converting the heir to Norse Germanic.

The same has happened to me as a player, but I would manually reassign the educator, so it caused issues only to the AI.

It's not as much of a problem with Conclave, where the religion and culture can only be changed with Faith or Heritage Focus

Rulers switching religion through their court physician is a bigger issue. That can suddenly turn entire empires Jewish thus making them a target for crusades

What I've seen is rulers picking "heritage" focus when the heir is educated by a heathen foreigner.

I recall having this speculative thought about the potential bug source: the AI character sees that the heir is educated by a heathen foreigner, and selects the "heritage" focus in thinking that it will educate the heir in his (ruler's) culture/religion (maybe a wrong copypasted value somewhere), but in reality makes the heir to be educated in the educator's culture/religion.

UPD: oh, I see, it also might be like this - all the child focuses have values, and when the child is assigned a heathen foreigner educator, the "heritage" focus is available for the AI to pick. So occasionally it picks this focus and changes the heir's culture to something random.

Could anyone post the relevant code please, to confirm? Don't have a game right now.

So if I am reading this correctly, it indeed can happen randomly - there are no checks preventing the AI to set the heritage focus, even if the educator isn't fit for it at all.

I always assumed the AI always chose focuses randomly, especially the first set.

The only time it will change is via event from the educator to the parent as far as I know.

 

[Zoomun]

It hasn't been fixed but it really needs to be. The amount of times I've seen one of the Karling kingdom become Jewish is absolutely insane.

I filled a bug report, but in the meantime changing
change_wards_focus_to_heritage
ai_will_do to this in decisions/way_of_life_decisions.txt might help, haven't tested though.

ai_will_do = {
            factor = 1
            modifier = {
                NOT = {
                    educator = {
                        culture = FROM
                        religion = FROM
                    }
                }
                factor = 0
            }
        }

That actually explains a great deal. A recent game saw a crusade called against a Jewish emperor of Britannia, and I was terribly baffled as to how he even got there in the first place. Definitely something that needs a second look.

*Sigh* time to light the pyre.

The AI seems to do that about 80% of the time.

Oh, I remember now. I think I actually even talked to a dev that court physicians make AI weird.

Maybe the AI should convert through the doctor only when the religious authority is really low? And never to unreformed Pagan. It would make sense.
