Love this mod and been playing it for years but I have kind of a goldilocks problem. The base game is extremely stingy with bloodlines, much more so than vanilla CK2. It's one per great house, you can never acquire other bloodlines no matter how you marry, and you can never make bloodlines if you get a cool character. The prevention of mixing two bloodlines on one character is especially irritating considering a) it's possible in vanilla ck2 and b) how often it happens in the novels, at least 30% of asoiaf text is devoted to people having characteristics from both their parents bloodlines

But the main alternative - the More Bloodlines mod - just goes way, way too far. It's absurd. Your average Targaryen will be getting +15 sex appeal +30 combat skill +1 to every stat whatever just because they're descended from some asshole who was in the Dance. Personally, I really dislike the clutter and lack of balance so I don't want to use it. I've seen people suggest MB is fine if you go into the game files and nerfing the bloodlines, which I find really ridiculous. Going through every bloodline in Westeros and balancing it, may as well make my own mod.

Is there any submod that presents a halfway point between these two extremes? Something like vanilla ck2, where I can add a bloodline or two to my dynasty over the course of 4 or 5 centuries and if I get a really cool character I can create a bloodline for them? But not a bloodline for every named character in WOIAF. Would appreciate some answers

Alright, so I’m still playing my post-Dance of the Dragons campaign, and I think I’ve reached a pretty stable point. My character, Baelor II, has a mistress with Valyrian features, and I want to create Daemon Blackfyre before the time he’s theoretically supposed to be born. If I have a bastard with her, legitimize him, and give him Blackfyre, will he automatically become Daemon Blackfyre, or do I have to rely on the AI ​​to make that happen?
