Faction Heir selection

Hopefully a patch (probably a big one) will fix this, giving the option as in Rome to pick an heir. On my current English campaign my next in line is Jasper the Mad, a loony toon with numerous bad vices, and a HRE wife. Great...

I agree, if you read the manual it mentions that only direct heirs and those married to your daughters are of royal blood, and everyone else is just a general. So feel free to throw the generals into harms way haha

ROFL My current king (not blood) is Henry the Merciless and heir to the throne being Sifradius the Wrathful.

I like the adoptions... If you don't like them you can always click "no"...

I can understand the adoption process to allow more generals but it would have been cool to set a heritage line and just let adoptee's be generals but never royalty.

I been wondering about inbreeding lately, as its so friggin hard to get my princess to marry an opposing general that I just been making them marry my own, but honestly they could be brother and sister or nieces and I am not sure if the system will not allow it. My family tree has some weird people in it atm, but since most of my males are adultresses , they dont seem to have alot of kids.

I do have a proposal.
When a king dies and his eldest son is a minor why not the late king's brothers or the young prince's mother act as a regent till he is able to assume the leadership?
Or maybe the king would have a special ability (this is quite far fetched) to form a will dealing with succesion issues after his demise.
Dont u u thing something like that would make game a little spicier?

The ExHeir trait is present in M2TW... so I think it was taken out fairly recently. I wonder why. The docudemon files have been released, but I can't find any "set faction heir" command. Hopefully the faction heir is set using triggers (there's a CeasedFactionHeir/Leader event), then we can mod it.

the easiest thing to do would be letting us pick a heir. that way traditionalist would choose oldest son, some others would pick the best general etc.
