I did this a different way. Instead of having cadet branches in my own family I had cadet branches in vassals. After going through the slow process of getting the Merovingians into my bloodline I started inviting as many bloodlines as I could into my court, ESPECIALLY THE WOMEN. With women who are far in line from any inheritance and who have a bloodline (Caradog for example) I matrilineally marry them to a landless dude in my court, or better yet, a low level landless dude I invited into my court who has a bloodline (like Vortigern) and their offspring have both bloodlines or just the one from the female, and we marry that descendant to our heir, or marry the bloodline offspring to another landless courtier (like a matrilineal marriage of a daughter to a landless male of the Carolingian we invited to court). Once you have 2 or more bloodlines on a descendant outside your family they will want to start pressing their claims, so to ensure they stay in your court and to gain their loyalty, give them a title. Maybe those claims can come in handy if you don’t already own their families de jure land. With my heir I would alternate between males and females each generation, the males would marry for traits like genius/strong/attractive and forge their own bloodlines, while their female heirs would matrilineally marry one of the bloodline vassals or courtiers who already had 2-5 existing bloodlines. This way you avoid inbreeding with your own family and the risk of losing any genetic traits. Inviting females into my court is how I got Ragnar, Sassanid, Ashina, and Attila blood onto a Catholic Anglo-Saxon bloodline. Once in my court by invitation or imprisonment, I could convert females of those bloodlines to Christianity and marry them to courtiers and bring their bloodlines into my own. The only bloodline I missed was Solomon’s because the Abbassid’s wiped them out before I could reach them. Per Aspera Ad Astra!
I did this as well, as germanic pagan captured people outside the realm with bloodlines I wanted, and then married them to random commanders and councilors to accumulated the bloodlines
great guid thank you, already saved me 15 minutes of navigating trough the bloodlines family trees to find the living relatives every time i want a new bloodline.
4:45 A clarification: The problem of "forbidden to invite (another court's) councillor to your court" is specific to games with Conclave enabled; you can play an ironman, achievements enabled for bloodlines game AND invite other courts councillors so long as Conclave hasn't been enabled; but since the favors mechanic is a Conclave DLC feature it becomes a case of having 50 more disposition with a candidate than their liege has with the prospective invitee (and even then there are some exceptions like monks, nuns, liege is character's not-yet-of-age child).
Very cool video, ive been collecting bloodlines as well, fortunately my dynasty has over 450 members so im able to use distant relatives in court as my blood line harvesters and mat marry them into my inheriting bloodline pool. this way i have several elector bloodlines that be married as needed to combine with the main super bloodline. ive been relying mostly on guesswork but so far ive managed to not have many children with negative traits.
I have been playing on one world from start date and I have made five major dynasties. All of them have at least six bloodlines on average 90% of the world is controlled by somebody with three bloodlines that I've built
Oh I see, the genius part of it !!! When you matrilinealrely marry a girl of a cadet branch of your dynasty, it will stay in your dynasty and your heir and his heirs will stay in your dynasty too ! Thus preventing you from Game Over ! Fucking genius.
The only problem I have with it is sometimes when inbreeding they don’t have children! Once in awhile character just derp out and despite getting married at a very young age they never have any baby at all and I don’t want to use consol command to add baby.
this problem can be solved when you are a duch or a king: give this family members some land or maybe a town and their chance of having children will promtly increase. When they are your vasalls and they don´t want to marry their boys matrilinear, you can take the titels away from them and force them to marry whomever you want.
Judith Batke well that bring another problem. When they get marry within your court the wife/husband will join the court. However if I give them a title then only the husband move to rule while the wife continue to live in my court, if I ask her to leave then she just go to someone else court instead of her husband thus not able to have children.
So I want to get the blood of ragnar lothbrok and I want to found my own unique bloodline do I need to have a daughter have her be my heir and then get some male descendant to agree to a matrialmenialy marriage so then I can get both?
say, Geir is my heir and i married him off regularly to another dynasty, will his descendants get those bloodlines that's been hoarded (because i dont want to collect anymore bloodlines) ? Sorry for my bad english :D
pommes döner, not really what I had in mind. At the time, I was looking for base-game mechanics to change one’s DYNASTY to that of a NEW off-shot house/dynasty and without incurring a game over. I’ve since installed and played with several mods that do this to some extent. I wasn’t exactly asking about bloodline mechanics, but no worries, because the mechanic I was asking about will be featured in CK3!

How do you choose a male or female heir?
Per Ardua Ad Astra!
I wear the inbred trait as a badge of prestige and honor
Avallac'h would be very proud of you men.

Hapsburgs search for your location.
There is an ironman compliant mod that tells you if you can use a favor to invite somone to court - Favor: Impossible Invitation Warning
Brilliant. Explained the important bits and the fun bits. A lot of guide makers could take a page from your book.

I'm confused
that´s what I call a good video.

@@thienngo7252 have you really tried this? must be a bug. When married, they wife should be able to have kids - even at different courts...
@Rather Incoherent
Subscribed thanks to your tutorial about bloodlines, looking forward to see your videos.
Proper eugenics
Just raid, capture the women and recruit them, than breed them into your bloodline
Where you at my guy
is there any famous bloodline option for no DLC ?
What if you have matrilineal marriage off?
So I want to get the blood of ragnar lothbrok and I want to found my own unique bloodline do I need to have a daughter have her be my heir and then get some male descendant to agree to a matrialmenialy marriage so then I can get both?
fucking hell my head hurts
Bro you talk so fast wtf go become a caster or something
lmao
but you need certain dlcs to get the favor part
Only Conclave is needed for favors.
say, Geir is my heir and i married him off regularly to another dynasty, will his descendants get those bloodlines that's been hoarded (because i dont want to collect anymore bloodlines) ?
Sorry for my bad english :D
He'd pass on all of the patrilineal bloodlines, the ones founded by men. That'll be most of them, probably even all of them.
Great video! But how do you just have tons of artifacts lying around?
I've seen the whole video. Where's my diploma?
How can the player enable the creation of a cadet branch? I know legitimizing bastards is on way, but is there another?
Not really, you could technically just kill all of your wives which would help in creating murder bloodlines

Very Bene Gesserit
Definitely put this game in a new light...
I recommend watching it on 0.75 speed :)
Can you share your save
Is It possible to remove a bloodline?
Like extinct yes
Excellent.
Is it too late to say this video was rather coherent?
Based and Habsburgpilled.
Woah
You need to slow down. You talk 100 mph. Chill dude. Ive had to rewind several times in order to understand what you said.
