Mitigating the risk of inbreeding
Zoroastrians who choose to partake in divine marriages are at high risk of inbreeding. The risk of your dynasty dying out due to bad congenital traits (characters being inapt to rule, having fewer children and dying younger) is quite serious after a few generations. To prevent this you may:
- Prefer half-siblings (0.25) to full siblings (0.5) or offspring (0.5)
- Take concubines to produce heirs with more genetic diversity
- Marry dynasty members past child-bearing age
- Land dynasty members frequently to increase the pool of characters you can marry in the long term (unlanded characters are limited on number of children)
- Skip inept heirs, e.g. using feudal elective succession
