This was always an issue in Rome. People were afraid their heirs would turn out to secretly be wannabe dictators, and you couldn’t do anything about it since you were dead. How would you go about making sure your heir was as close to your vision as possible, both outwardly and in their desires should they be emperor?
In ancient Rome, the sitting emperor often would choose a successor from, well anybody really, often not even a relation. They then adopted that person. If one has to have hereditary rulers, this seems a fairly sensible way to go about it.
clone yourself, always keep a kid, adult and old geezer clone at the same time
infuse your memory on them ofc
the adult they/you decides. the young and old are helping with decisions or replacement if you have an accident
that seems to be a solid foundation for a lasting empire. nobody can possibly predict this to go wrong in any way.
You implement a system in which the new emperor is elected instead of just crowning whoever happens to be the old one’s son.
Choose someone who doesn’t go by the name “JD” as an adult and expects to be taken seriously.
Genetically engineer like 20 of them and hope one turns out good after being stolen by Tzeentch and half betray you because you were a bad dad
