King of the Romans OOC thread IX

It is strange that Elberhard is the new Prinz. Although, as he is Henry's son, it makes far more sense than Siegfried(which Wolfgang is going to accuse him of being a usurper).

**GeneralHankerchief** · 07-23-2007, 03:07

Yeah, but Siegfried made Elberhard his heir, in a sense, "restored" the crown to its proper place.

Too bad Elby is going to die first though.

Way to go heating up the diet Ignoramus

**Privateerkev** · 07-23-2007, 04:47

Yeah, I was afraid that the big shock today was going to calm down the Diet. I need my next installment of "as the Diet turns..."

You know, maybe we should have a succession dispute. I mean, the game-designated faction leader doesn't have to be our Kaiser, does he?

I think it would be fun. But, since the current Kaiser came from Jan's house, I think I'll stay quiet for a little while and let others run around the Diet screaming "usurper!! usurper!!".

**Ignoramus** · 07-23-2007, 04:52

I would be in of it(obviously), and we can sort of have a civil war without fighting.

The Reich splits in two with the territories loyal to Hans/Elberhard as the Loyalists, and territories loyal to Siegfried the Kastilliens.

Each half would have their own Diet and Chancellor. And considering we have so much money, it would make things a real challenge.

Screw the monarchy, let's go socialist!

To the barricades!

Oh wait, that would involve the liquidation of the social class my avatar comes from.

Let's go oligarchy!

Well, that would depend on whether we can pass a CA on that. Current rules I think is to just use the game-appointed one, but that section is not *-marked, so can be amended.

In game, we can easily fix the traits to reflect that, but the only problem will be that any actions done that normally affect the leader only (assassination/spying/diplomacy) go on the game-designated avatar. Of course the thing with authority also comes into play.
Both of these can be fixed manually by transferring over traits/ancillaries via console and manually counting authority.
The only thing that would be outside our control is army rebellion (chance that armies go rebel) as that checks the game-appointed leader only. That one's quite minor though.

Yep, CA required, but if it did happen (not saying it will) I think the easiest thing would simply be to leave the in-game traits alone. If the Emperor is not the game-appointed faction leader, just mentally transfer all faction-leader specific traits from the faux-leader to the real leader, subtracting from one and adding to another. If you did it manually, things would get very confusing and screwed up, especially for traits that gain in strength over time.
