教育（無御前會議DLC）

本文所指的是未激活御前會議DLC的教育體系。需要查詢已激活御前會議DLC情況下的教育體系，請查閱詞條教育。

教育是未成年角色獲得特質和屬性的過程。

遊戲中的每個角色都有一個直到16歲的童年。在這段時間裏，角色接受了生活方式的教育，表現為角色獲得了特質和屬性。基本遊戲中的教育分為三個階段：

直到6歲，孩子的成長都受到「家長」（教育者）的影響。主要的性格特質取決於孩子的婚姻類型。如果是普通婚姻，則父親是家長；如果是入贅婚姻，則母親是家長。
在孩子6歲時，指定的監護人將接管幾乎所有的教育事件，直到孩子16歲。
在16歲時，將根據最終監護人的教育分配特質。

每個成年人一次最多可以有兩個被監護人，並且對其有額外的陰謀力量加成。

當你的宮廷里有6歲或6歲以上的孩子沒有監護人時，你會收到一個提醒。

如果你想培養你的外孫，或者類似的未來繼承人不在你的控制範圍內，你可以在他們六歲生日時要求成為他們的監護人。如果你的提議被接受，你將有機會培養你未來的繼承人，或者確保一個潛在的競爭對手最終擁有可怕的特質，從而消除這種威脅。

傳授文化與宗教

主條目：Religious conversion#Children's education

孩子通常會接受導師的文化或宗教，因此選擇監護人很重要。如果監護人是以下情況，這種情況會更頻繁地發生：

勤奮之於文化和宗教,
狂熱之於宗教,
合群之於文化.

負面特性懶惰, 憤世嫉俗 and 害羞將會產生相反的效果.

但是，如果監護人沒有自己的土地且與其領主不屬於同一文化或宗教，這些事件就不會發生。

這意味着，如果你需要通過教育來改變自己子女的文化與宗教，你除了要找到相應特質的導師，還需要給這些導師分封土地（最少是男爵）。

基礎屬性

父母/監護人會影響的事情之一是基礎屬性。似乎每個孩子每年都有一次機會增加他們的各項基礎屬性。增加的可能性與父母/監護人的屬性有關。

因此，孩子將會更快地從父母/監護人的優勢項中獲得基礎屬性增長，而不是在劣勢項中。因此，孩子通常會得到與他們的父母或監護人非常相似的屬性分佈。這也意味着，在繼承人的監護人/教育者中擁有均衡的屬性分佈可能更重要，而不是一項超高和其他超低的屬性分佈。

根據一位玩家的測試，監護人/教育者的某項屬性值為17或更高，更有可能使孩子在該屬性中獲得增長。

但始終有隨機因素的影響，所以孩子也有可能會得到與父母/監護人截然不同的基礎屬性分佈。

請注意，如果監護人擁有先天特徵(如天才或遲鈍)，相應地，其被監護人會增加/減少了獲得基礎屬性增長的機會。

教育特質

結論：總是為你的孩子選擇擁有最高級別教育特質的監護人。（由於只是成年時那一瞬間判定一次，所以只要16歲之前的最後一小段時間即可，前15歲可以自己親自帶或交給更有能力的監護人帶。）

在年滿 16 歲並成年後，該角色將獲得教育特質.

對於每個屬性有四個級別（+0/+3/+6/+9對應屬性點），從平庸到優秀。最高級別大大提高了該屬性，因此應儘量獲得。角色獲得的教育特徵是半隨機的，但通常與他們的監護人在同一區域，並且通常也在同一級別。

孩子所接受的特徵的確定是硬編碼的，不能直接看到。實驗表明，它只取決於監護人的教育特徵，因此在選擇監護人時，最高級別的教育特質通常被認為是一個極重要的因素：

監護人技能、人格特質或好感對最終獲得教育特質沒有影響
監護人對孩子進行教育的時間長短對最終獲得教育特質沒有影響
監護人是否有封地對最終獲得教育特質沒有影響
所有的教育特徵都符合以上條件。

得到的概率：

與監護人相同的等級特徵大約是 50%
距離監護人等級僅一步之遙的等級大約是 15-30%
距離監護人等級兩步之遙的等級大約是5%-10%
距離監護人等級三步之遙的等級大約是 8%

一些更詳細的實驗結果：

Tutor	Child
Tutor					Random other
	53%	26%	8%	1%	8%
	23%	48%	13%	5%	8%
	8%	13%	44%	10%	9%
	5%	7%	30%	51%	7%

性格特質

結論：如果你自己親自教育則特質無所謂，如果你交給AI教育，一定要選擇有合適性格特質的AI。

在被監護人教育的過程中也會獲得性格特質。AI 監護人通常會讓你擁有與自己相似的特徵，而充當監護人的玩家大多可以自由地選擇事件選項從而給予被監護人特定的特質，並不需要自己擁有。

這裏有一些在大部分情況下都正確的思路:

非常好: 勤奮, 仁慈, 和溫和的監護人在許多事件中做出很好的選擇。.
好: 公正監護人會做出正確的選擇, and 當孩子自然表現良好時，驕傲的監護人會置身事外。
一般: 狂熱監護人善於讓孩子也變得狂熱，但其它選擇都會是隨機的.
壞: 暴食, 專斷, 殘暴, 易怒, 殘暴
非常壞: 懶惰

Effects on guardians

Many events have options with effects on guardians:

Lose or , by approving of a child gaining the opposite trait
Gain 5 piety by choosing religious options such as praying (requires not being )
Lose 5 prestige by encouraging a child to have certain traits opposite from your own

Many events allow skilled guardians to improve ward stats, but a handful allow skilled guardians to improve their own stats:

When a child naturally gains or , the guardian can gain 1 diplomacy if already 10+
When a child naturally gains , the guardian can gain 1 intrigue if already 10+
Each event can only fire if the child does not have the trait or its opposite
Each event can only fire if the child has fewer than 5 personality traits
Each event is 10x more likely to fire for children, and 2x more likely to fire for quick or weak children.

Strategies

Choose guardians based on the stats and traits you want each character to have:

Your heir should be a likable ruler with strong stats.
- The same applies to your heir's heir, or anyone you might choose as an heir.
Vassals should be , share your culture, and share positive personality traits with your heir.
Claimants on your titles should be managed carefully, lest they become adventurers or gain faction support.
Dynastic claimants on foreign realms should be encouraged to become adventurers, so you can join their war and gain an ally.
Future cardinals and antipopes should be virtuous, pious, and generally likable.
Future council members should be strong in their primary attribute.
- Future spymasters should also have high ai_honor so they don't help murder your kids, but this tends to conflict with having high intrigue skill...

Educate heir yourself: you have much better control over a child's personality this way than by choosing a guardian. Once the child has 5 personality traits, you can safely send them to another tutor for better stats or education trait. (this is no longer a guarantee, there have been reports of a 6th, or even 7th trait before the age of 16)

Always have two wards: choices in the events can help your character, especially if you don't care about the child's well-being.

Look for guardians with Tier 4 education traits: having such a tutor in the last year gives the child a good chance to pick up the same education, for +9 in one stat and +2 in two others.

If you pick a guardian outside your own court, be careful with guardians of other religions/cultures, unless you actually want to switch religion/culture. If both the guardian and the owner of the court the guardian is in (the same person if the guardian themself is landed) is of a different culture/religion, your child may switch. Note that if you are a child, you can choose to avoid the culture- and religion-changing events, so you can have a different-culture guardian without danger of being unwillingly converted.

Choose an appropriate education for your heir, depending on circumstances:

	Type	Usefulness
	Diplomacy	Boosts vassal opinion (especially for councilors, who see your personal diplomacy) Boosts vassal limit Easier to invite characters such as councillors, commanders, claimants, and especially heirs
	Martial	Large boost to demesne levies Lead armies personally for prestige and control over commander traits, if willing to risk capture or injury Health boost increases likelihood of a long reign, especially if you stay out of combat
	Stewardship	Boost to demesne limit, potentially giving you more troops and taxes Improved fertility helps expanding a yet small dynasty.
	Intrigue	Useful when not independent, to plot your way to the throne. Useful for Patricians to assassinate stronger candidates and stay in power. Goes well with two powerful focuses, Seduction and Intrigue focus, and can be leveled up by those focuses
	Learning	Increases technology point gain, especially useful in early start dates Increases piety gain Allows creation of powerful artifacts (Hermetic society or Compose a Book)
