The courts it has access to do not stack super well with it, but they are still very good. I had five rulers back to back with 60+ learning. The development growth around the Ganges was patently absurd, almost all of my provinces by 1066 were at maxed out at 35 development (the hard limit for development based on tech of early medieval). With all of these bonuses to learning, education, and keeping small (in one kingdom with court grandeur expectation of 1 that I custom created) I was able to unlock all 3 of the personal lifestyle learning trees within 5 years and unlock 4 other trees in other attributes. Another game, I played Haesteinn 867, migrated to Magadha in India, and took advantage of the university there as well as the Buddhist holy site of Lumbini, the Stories tradition from Norse, genius trait, and Philosopher culture from a nearby culture. One game, I played in Bohemia, grabbed the mines in Caslav and Nitra, and developed my country to high heaven and ended the game with around 90 development in my capital. For this court type, I did two playthroughs. But that is a small price to pay for how much lifestyle learning, development growth, and cultural fascination that you get out of this build. You will miss out on swapping your court type regularly so that your courtiers can have two sets of courtier type buffs. So, if you start play as someone with access to scholarly (a courtly or spiritual culture) you can swap over to bureaucratic and stack buffs that way. Your current court type carries over when you switch an ethos. This one is fun for people who like playing tall. Hidden bonus: if you have such a buffed up army like this, the AI lemmings itself at you because they assume they'll win with the numeric advantage, meaning you won't have to hunt them down. A good combo of cultural knight buffs, men at arms buffs, and this court type will make it so that you can fight armies 10x the size of your army no problem. ![]() And this combo just makes that easier, as well as buffing your normal men at arms. ![]() So, making it so that your knights are more buff and can hit the 12 prowess they need to be a knight is good. Cultural traditions like 'Only the Strong' are quite good, if you check post battle screens you will find that knights deal a significant number of casualties. The court trait for a warlike courtier gives martial, prowess, and men at arms cost reductions, which stacks perfectly with the ethos and various men at arms and knight bonuses you receive from the court type. Bellicose (Warlike) can be considered a standard, one-size-fits-all court combo.
