Yes, you cannot be Proud and Humble at the same time. It's fortunate that you lost the dice roll.

Notes for Sareln -

Um, good luck?
I didn't mean to leave you such a succession mess but there it is. I would try to get a good guardian for Mardoq. If Gamila wants you dead though I don't know what you can do to stop it. He's gained bad traits despite being sent someone with excellent stats and bonuses, so perhaps they didn't like him? Still learning some of these nuances in the game.

I've been building infrastructure, mostly money making buildings. As it is, we have an income near 24g per month. You're about capped out on what you can build to improve taxes, so it's proably time to build military buildings.

Use the military! The Dhunnunids are weak, and you don't need to wait for the truce to end because truces are only between rulers, not nations. Pick off another county or try to build up some claims for a multi-county war. Most of the Emirates around us are fighting Christian nations so you could probably take another neighboring territory easy right now.

I hope you have a longer reign than i did

Should I just email you the save? I'm not subscribed to a file upload service right now and the saves are 20mb each

Here's a picture of the new Emir:

Hopefully you can get rid of the Slothful and Envious traits. I think you need to give him to someone who likes him in order for him to be taught well, but I'm not sure of that.

Yeah, you can go ahead and e-mail that to me. And don't worry about leaving the mess, I'll see what I can do with it. Is it no longer the right thing to do to raise your own heir?

[pindicator]

Oh, it probably is. I wanted Mardoq to get Midas Touched off of Maha (4th wife), so I sent him off to her to be raised.

Also - what's your email?

You can swap guardians in the last year to get the desired education type.

You didn't exactly die in battle. Maimed, depressed, and sharing the camel during the Hajj all reduced your health significantly and caused you to die young.

Yeah, but that doesn't sound cool at all :neenernee

[haphazard1]

Ouch! Depressed, craven, maimed, crippled, and dead at an early age!

Still, I think this guy did better than my avatar in the previous game.

A lot of the education system is hidden, but the childhood trait events are exposed and I'll plough through them soon to come up with some bullet-point advice. In the meantime this :

has some general sound advice. I have no idea where he got some of the conclusions ( especially the attribute growth ), but the whole guide is semi-official and noone seems to dispute the contents.

FYI: only your first wife helps your realm stats. The secondary wives are just for show/prestige/alliances.
