What is Your Dynasty Set Up (Skills/Ideals) and Results?

So far I found:

  • Charisma Skill with Caring/Diplomatic Ideals
  • Natural Living/Gardening/Gemology/Fishing/Entomology with Nature-Loving Ideals

Really effective (almost too effective) for gaining Prestige. Gardening and Fishing becomes very high in autonomy so much that house plants will now always be maintained (before R&L mine always would die if I didn't manually water), harvesting is autonomous, and fishing is higher in autonomy even off lot.

I am also trying:

  • Spellcaster with Practical Magic and Thanatology/Medium Skill with Mysterious Ideals
  • Spellcaster with Mischief Magic and Mischief/Romance Skill with Devious/Mysterious/Passionate Ideals with the Voodoo Doll (bound to partner)

This is so-so but not nearly as efficient, and takes some effort on the player's part. Voodoo Scandal pops up a lot which I like.

    I think dynasties will change over time. Initially, going for high prestige is obvious. My Kim family, descendenats of Dennis, have gone with diplomacy and charisma. I want to get to the genetic traits before the next gen is born. But once a dynasty is level 10, they can be more flexible in their skills and ideals. Until someone finds out a scandal. :)

    I hope there's 2 or 3 effetive ways to get prestige quickly so we don't have to rely on charisma & diplomacy all the time. I want to test how effective marrying into other dynasties is for prestige. The noble career should have a prestige-gain multiplier. 

  • Here's my Idea, I'm about to make a new Timeline (Game Save) based on Late Antiquity Era to Migration Period (Dark Ages). 

    The 1st household is going to be based on "Tristan & Isolde" Dark Ages Lore Story but without the double self-harm.  I will be calling my main couple, Tristano & Isolda because it sounds better.  They will be mostly human with just the Werewolf Immortality Trait (Equip & Remove Werewolf Occult).  Tristano's Father will be Knight King Rivahalt (combination of his birth Father & Adopted Father.  Also, Pals to the Queen).  Princess Isolda's Mother will be Iron Queen Isolde (yup, she was named after her Mother.  Also, Pals to the King).  Now for the Servants, they will be Brangane the Maid & Bedwyr the Butler (Siblings).                                                                                                As for skills, the Royal Families (2 in 1) will all have: Archery, Swordsmanship, Charisma, Dancing, Entrepreneur, Gemology, Gardening, Herbalism, Logic, Mischief, Painting, Research, Rock Climbing, Violin & Writing. The Parents will have Parenting skill.  Tristano & Isolda will have Romance skill.  Their Traits will be most of the Aspirations.                                                                                                                                For the Servants skills will have: Baking, HomeStyleCooking, GourmetCooking, Gardening, Herbalism & Handiness & Fishing. Their traits will Neat, Food Aspirations, Nature Aspirations & maybe a couple others to go with their Servant Careers.

    The household home will be a Dark Ages Celtic Castle. (Formally known as a Roman Fort in Britania)

    I really had to look all this up in Google to get the real info to help me with my inspired version.
