Is there a way to increase the chance of having a son?

[John Doe]

Its crazy to have 7 daughters and then finally get a son. Is there any way I can increase the chance of having a son or do I just let RNJesus take the wheel?

[BaCaz]

RNJesus, pray hard. :)

I think (much like in real life) it's just up to chance.

However, there's lots of factors that go into the odds of getting your wife or self pregnant: https://ck3.paradoxwikis.com/Breeding

As with everything else, you can save scum... Just save short before give birth, if not happy about the result.. reload...

#Fertility Rate age and gender

Age 16–25 26–30 31–35 36–40 41–45 46–50 51–60 61–70 70+

Male 100% 100% 100% 90% 80% 80% 70% 60% 50%

Female 100% 90% 70% 50% 33% No No No No

A female loose also -5% per Child born.
So if you want to maximise the chance for a son, make sure, that both, male and female are on 100% fertility so that they have a 100% chance for child per night together.

pfff iron mode is the only true way. i had i event 61% good thing 30% a little bad thing. 9%: you will die. i was thinking 9%? lets try and i die. than i have to play with a 7 year old. you would reload i think but this game( if you play it honestly on iron mode) is like life: ♥♥♥♥ happens and you have to deal with this. And learn from that if you play with reload you will never learn to play this game right( planing long term and gertshit. get out of the ♥♥♥♥ with even more power than before

Get a grip, Henry

you can learn from reload no question. its a good way to learn at the beginning how to do things. But if you play just all the time with reload? then you are not able to play it for real just my opion

"Henry the Eighth I am, I am. Henry the Eighth I am".

This is from a famous song by Herman's Hermits.

Henry the Eighth went through 6 wives to get a son.
