Stop adding butchered DLC game mechanics to vanilla game just so you can demand money from players to make game playayble, the amount of vanilla stuff that gives legitimacy points is laughtable compared to stuff that take it away.
Oh you lost a single battle? That's -50 legitimacy pal, there is yet another damn plague in your land? -80 legitimacy my boy. You married lowborn with great genes? -400 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ legitimacy.
So what does give me legitimacy without DLC? Spending huge amounts of money on feasts and hunts, +20 legitimacy each, of course those events can't be spammed, they can only be played once per like 5 years. Oh, did I mention that you lose some legitimact when your oldest son inherits throne which makes 0 sense because he is your oldest son so its obvious he is next legitimate ruler?
So what does give you huge amount of legitimacy? That's right, stuff in their new DLC.

Honestly screw you, its not the first time you add butchered dlc mechanics to base game, but it is the first time it makes game painful and unpleasant.
