Who was your best ruler?

[Finnish Dragon]

My best ruler was Bruno Staden(1093-1166). Here are his values.

Martial 9
Diplomacy 17
Intrigue 12
Stewardship 11

Traits: Energetic, Forgiving, Selfish, Just, Zealous, Wise, Grey Eminence, Crusader

He started as Duke of Brandenburg, Mecklemburg and Pommern. He was elected to the Duke in 1116. When he was elected as the Duke he started a war against the Baltic pagans and conquered eventually their lands. He was of the reasons why HRE was imploded. At the same time his neighbor the Kingdom of Poland was destroyed. He used the opportunity to unify Poland and to become the King of Poland.

Best I've had is:

Martial 9
Diplomacy 20
Intrigue 7
Stewardship 14

He had a massive demesne and everyone loved him, but it made playing his son seem very difficult.

well... best unmodified ruler??? stats look similar to those above...

I'v notice that it's easy to get diplomacy up to the 17~18 range with careful marriage management but I've never been able to get Stewardship that high... thats the really useful Catagory

 

[SJG]

That guys father had 15 in stewardship IIRC.

 

[Winkelried]

William the Conqueror atm. His sons and their descendants s***.

 

[Chaingun]

I've had a ruler with 16 stewardship; the others stats I never remember because they are nearly not as important...

 

[Nikolai]

Alexios Komnenus(sp?).

I once had a 1 - 15 - 13 - 18 - ruler. He was the result of Bene gesserit breeding program. I even had bastard sons with 16 in stewardship - is great to man my duchies,

I've got the monster stewardship gene in my game. Best King - St. Raras Rurikovich, 9-8-9-21 after education and traits (cruel, just IIRC). I was very tempted to download the vampire mod for this guy... His son is a mere 19 stewardship king, but the modified total is better than in Raras's day since the gene has spread a bit; got a nice young 19 stewardship niece or cousin as the new steward. The income from Novgorod alone is $61/year.

The next generation is going to suck, though, no absurdly high stewardship prospects among the potential heirs.
