I've been thinking on the question of heirs in MTW.
In Middle Age the kingdom could be divided into several parts in order to give one part to each prince. It was not the oldest one who was the heir of all the kingdom. This could be a case similar to the civil wars, but in a pacific way. The game would give you the choice of one of the heirs with his new kingdom (the problem would be the increase in the number of factions).

In case of no male heirs, the princess could be the heir and, if she was married with the heir of another kingdom both kingdoms were joint to form only one kingdom. That was the case of one king of Aragon, who had only a daughter who married with the count of Barcelona. Thus the son was the King of the Crown of Aragon, including Aragon and Catalonia.
Does anybody know if the number of heirs (or the frequency they appear) can be modified in MTW? Is there a vice (or virtue) called "prolific"?

Can the muslim factions modded to have princesses? In modding the Reconquista I mad a mistake and put a muslim princess. The game didn't find the portrait (black square instead) but it worked properly for several turns.

Jepp, muslim factions can be modded to have princesses. You need to edit the CRUSADERS_UNIT_PROD11.TXT file (Faction who can "build" them and culture in the princess line) and add pics in:
\campmap\Info_Pics\Agents\Muslim
\campmap\review_panel\Agents\Muslim
\campmap\Portraits\Muslim\Princess
