can no longer select our own heirs?

The problem is that the game doesn't consistently choose the first born. In fact, it often chooses the last born. Furthermore, there are already traits like ExHeir which leads to hugely decreased loyalty etc. The player should be able to change heirs at the peril of civil war like the original MTW.

Huh... I don't remember that feature in MTW... I guess I missed something.

What about reassigning traits? Was that removed as well?

Sorry katank, but I'm not sure if I understand what you're referring to.

Are you talking about how civil wars can erupt in MTW if your assassin fails to kill your crown prince?

It might be my memory, but i can't remember being able to change heirs in mtw either....

In my experience the game consistently chooses your youngest family member at the proper tier of the family tree. Basically someone seems to have flipped a variable in the opposite direction....

Agree. I have the same experience. In my last Spanish camp I got a 6 star general with 4 authority and only 3 loyalty = actively disloyal, wtf???!

I really really want to see this feature back! Along with the civil wars...and local units etc..

Come on CA..dont make me load up the 5 year old MTW1 to enjoy this!

Should have kept this in....

As it is I dont even take any notice of the faction heir....half the time it is some looper who has all the worst traits you can think of!

So kill him off :P

But yeh, i liked the way in mtw1 how getting a bad faction heir meant that there was a distinct possibility that your realm would disintergrate into civil war :)
