    I'm not sure if faction heir can be determined at the beginning. During the game, the engine autostupidically sets it on the bloke with the highest influence (IIRC). You can manually change it (in RTW, not in MiNO ).

    In fairness, in medival times, it was often "blood" and not competence that defined who gained the throne.


    Has that been lifted for kingdoms, or willl we be stuck with it for EB2?

    In Germany, and several other countries, the king was elected. The only reason why we have something that looked like a bloodline for some parts of the MA was the result of the Emporer ensuring his son to become the next one with crown by enforcing his (the son's) election while he (the former Emporer) was still alive. The result was usually a war on the Emporer's death.

    I know, I'm not saying its good this way, I was just pointing out they do have a certain justifcation, maybe.

    Yes, but the eldest son of the king is not always made heir by M:TW2, so it really did ruin it.

    Yeah, you can't adopt anyone in MiNO because if you do he'll almost certainly be your next heir, breaking your family line.

    The system in MiNO would almost work if it allowed under age family members to become heir and faction leader, however the king will often die before his grandson is 16, breaking the family line.

    I recalling hearing that someone (alpaca?) was writting a script to allow for heir reassignment in MiNO, but I don't know if it was actually finished...
