On the Succession of Heirs

Is the green_generals tag on?

I've found that sometimes makes things, well, a bit screwy when it comes to succession -- under some circumstances it seems to just go strange with ex-heirs dropping dead in the background; I think because we don't see "under the hood" as it were it's difficult sometimes with that tag on to ascertain exactly what's happened. We just see the results after the turn has ended rather than as it happens.

I have never had hiers or any royal blood for that matter just dissapear.
This would be a first that I have encountered.
I have had some strange observations before with brothers of the recently deceased king suddenly becoming marked as the sons of a new king apon ascension, which is similiar to your experience Bamff and I have had them just become normal RK units when they are no longer in line for the throne but I have never lost them completely.

Turbosatan is right. Green Generals makes things go a bit weird sometimes...

Check your RKs in Istanbul, dude...

No, so we can eliminate that one.

I will check the RK units more closely when I get a chance - stay tuned!

Had a look over the weekend, and I can confirm the following:

Sons Hugh and Henry (and their respective units) both disappear after the death of their father Stephen. Henry I should have spotted - his was the only unit of RK's in Tripoli.

The succession list is also interesting.

Before Stephen's demise the list includes: Hugh, Henry, John, Richard, and William.

After Stephen's death, the list commences with John, Richard, and William.

A few years down the track, and uncles Richard and William are shuffled down the list as John's own sons start appearing, but at least they are still there, whereas Hugh and Henry are gone altogether.

I suppose the odd bit of unpredictability adds to the fun of this game.....

If both the heirs and their units actually vanish then it's a bug or corrupted save that's the likely culprit here. The units should never vanish, as you know, they should simply drop out of succession with the former heirs becoming generals with royal blood.

I had thought as much.....fingers crossed that it isn't a bug or corruption that will cause me any further problems in the campaign....
