Ancestral Legacy: The Golden Child

Ancestral Legacy: The Golden Child is a mod that allows you to cultivate genetic traits into your family lineage. The chance for a newborn to inherit a genetic trait is not just dependent on their parents having that trait but now includes a check on their grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great grandparents at a relatively lower chance.

This version focuses on cultivating rare newborns born with all three positive congenital traits. So, if a newborn inherits at least one positive trait, the chances of inheriting a second trait and/or a third positive trait increases.

Is the Quick trait worth it?
This mod handles the Quick trait and the Genius trait different from other positive congenital traits. If there is a successful check when passing on the Quick trait, there is a 25% chance the newborn will gain the Genius trait; else, the newborn will gain the Quick trait. This is also true for the Genius trait; a 25% chance the newborn will gain the Quick trait else the newborn will gain the Genius trait. Imbecile trait and the Slow trait share this same relationship.

And sure, your daughter may not have inherited any positive genetic traits, but if she is a descendant from a line of ancestors blessed with any combination of positive genetic traits, she can still pass these traits on to her own children and on to the next generation.

PS: Be very careful with negative genetic traits. The chance for great-grandparents and grandparents to pass on a negative genetic trait is the same as parents [e.g. 25% for Dwarf, 15% for Lisp, 25% for Left-Handed, etc.]. In other words, it is fairly easy to cultivate a family-line/dynasty of left-handed heathen warriors.
