[The Celtic Viking]

Well, the way I understand it after taking another look at the rules...

The default person for being the Kleronomos Basileus is the eldest son. The Basileus can change that at any time he pleases. I believe then that Maion did indeed change it for this reason, and my charge of it being "illegal" were thus incorrect. However, Krateros is now the legal heir. If I need to proclaim that in another thread (than the save games one), I will do so.

In any case, when Antigonos dies, the Kleronomos Basileios (currently that's your character, Krateros) will automatically be presented as a candidate to be the next Basileus. If anyone else wish to run for it, they can announce it publicly, and the Synedrion will then hold a vote. If tied, a new vote will be held. If it ties again, the last king's favourite - the KB - is elected.

What the Kleronomos Basileios rank seem to do, is simply give you a royal army of your own to command, make you an automatic candidate for the Basileus' successor and give you a slight benefit if someone else challenges that.

What I don't understand is how this is going to be handled in-game. If Antigonos dies now, Krateros will automatically be made the new Basileus immediately. If, say, Alkyoneus then challenges Krateros for it and he wins the vote, how will he be made the Basileus in-game? Is there a cheat that can change the current faction leader without killing him?
