I played a bit of admin before I lost my computer, I think "hostile raids" @ 16:09 refers to an action that fellow vassals within the empire can take against each other. They can fund raids on each other's estate.
RE: education strategy - even if you intend to have someone else educate your heir, it's probably worth educating them until age six and then doing the "influence ward's personality" interaction (assuming you have any personality traits you want to pass on) before handing them off. RE: Your illegitimate child - in religions where adultery is a crime/shunned, your lovers with appropriate traits may try to shield you from the negative repercussions of adultery by hiding the parentage of your bastard child. Sometimes you can force the exposure (and thus potentially allow them to be legitimized) by exposing your lover's or the child's "child's parentage" secret. Since you have two legitimate children and the illegitimate one didn't gain his mother's inheritable trait, it's probably better to keep the secret, at least for now. RE: Heir and spare - with administrative government this is not much of a consideration as all of the landed titles have administrative succession. The main concern would be if you married someone from a feudal dynasty and your heirs became eligible to inherit feudal titles. As a Greek character you can also castrate your unwanted heirs to control succession - though that comes with some obvious downsides (along with eunuch upsides.) RE: Know Thyself - it would be so much better if this were at the end of the tree. 😞
there is no need to embrace celibacy as your land wont be split up like with partition. better of having as many children as possible and trying to get them themes too
I think it makes sense to get the claim on the empire because it's inherited and eg you can put a sibling on the throne as the next character Also because most of your powerful vassals are barony level and rather garbage you can revoke them without losing legitimacy and grant the titles to more effective councillors Also also, as admin ruler you can directly hold cities i think and they might be much more lucrative than castles
You should be able to ask the pope for one of the emperor's lower titles. I haven't played administrator yet, but taking a barony or county off of him would net you some extra influence and income.
This playthrough inspired me - I found a Byzantine count in 1066 that's the grandson of the last king of Bulgaria, maybe I can become Baselius of a Roman-Bulgarian empire.

56:53 @alpaxLP Is the Dune reference from a mod or actually in the game?
It's actually in the game!
Yeah, from the game. This is unmodded. :)
