problem with Heirs ...

[Vantek]

Ah, I thought so. It's good that a married heir will have his own heirs ready.

I bet the game just spawns them at succession, since in practice it is indistinguishable from keeping track of them from early on, but much easier to program.

BTW am I the only one who hates this 6 heir rule? IMO, heirs should be unlimited. Also, heir units should not require upkeep and should all respawn their soldiers (but only as long as they are heirs). This would actually make them a meaningful and interesting force, and also help weaker factions in comparison to stronger ones.
