Whether or not this was the case, it still begs the question as to who King John was. Did ASM's young prince suddenly age a decade overnight? Did he have a royal somewhere that he'd forgotten about?

Or--hmm, I wonder.....

To AntiSocialMonkey:

I wonder if your new emperor might be that 9-star General John you mentioned in your first post. If you still have that game saved, I would try looking for General John, and see if he got promoted.

No, he was still sitting in Bulgaria preparing to beat the Huns.

BTW, one correction, John was 14. Personally, I think there might be a roll whether a child will become king. I'll try to find a save before that happened.

Besides, Emperors are designated by last name. This was just Emperor John I.

It should be Constantine X, but it was just John, if it was John Comenus, it'd be Emperor Comenus *. It could be a rare undocced feature or a Baronial thing, someone should mod the situation and see what happens.

Well, I don't really have that much input as to what might have happened, but I had two similar situations happen to me.

At one time, my king had a 14 year old son, died in battle, and my son became King that year. I'm happy to say, that 14 year old son lived to be in his 70s and produced a fine stock of heirs. Seven to be exact and the worst one of them was a 4 star general already. I had fun with his sons, although one of them died in battle. He just had to be the first one to rush into the castle *shakes head*

And then another time my king died in battle with no heirs, but a 7 star general that I had married to my princess became King. I didn't mind, because I kept on going in the game :)
