However you can only unlock that succession late into the game so in the meantime, you should try to unlock the shittier but better than confederate partition succession laws. The end goal is to eventually unlock primogeniture or ultimogeniture, which is great since your first or last born gets to keep everything, and then you can create 35 empire titles and know that not one will be snatched by your other children when you die. If you ruled over the empire of Francia and Hispania, and the empire of Francia was your primary title, just don't form Hispania, that way your greedy second child cant take away all that hard-fought land, and now your more like the french emperor who just so happens to rule all of Iberia. To bring back my previous hypothetical as an example. To get around this I would suggest that when you take over a title that is the same rank as your primary title(county, duchy, kingdom, empire) you don't even form that title. This is the same for every tier title, if you are a duke with 2 duchies and 2 male heirs, each will set up their own independent duchies when you die. If you have another male heir, he will take the empire of Hispania and rule his own independent empire when your character dies. If you die and you have the empire of Francia and the empire of Hispania, your main heir will inherit whichever is your primary title, Francia or Hispania(primary titles are what you identify as, for example, you can be king Ludwig of Germany and also hold the kingdom of Poland). There's a lot more to succession, but to sum it up you want to have only one of your highest titles. Btw, if all your children are dead, after they had children, your entire collection of titles goes to your oldest son's (or daughter depending on gender law) heir, collectively.
If you have to many children, especially early on, making them commanders and sending them into battles with balanced forces is a decent way to separate the wheat from the chaff. It's good to have one heir and one spare (for that pick the learning skill with celebrity celibacy) and disinherit the spare shortly before your death (there is that other learning skill "know yourself" unless you want to save scum). The simplest way is just to disinherit all children but one but disinheriting costs 150 renown and this is a very valuable resource so you don't want to have to disinherit 6 out of 7 children each generation. It might ultimately be better to just accept the realm split because it a title leaves your realm, then you have a claim on it to reconquer everything from your brother (you don't get the claim if they take countries/duchies on succession but remain your vassal).īut then again, you want to find a way to not have multiple heirs at all. The default response to that is to grab lands and distribute them among your non-heirs during your lifetime but the exact partition rules are difficult to foresee and there is always some complications like you pour countries into your second son but he just gives them to new counts and you end up giving him some of your selectively chosen lands for your heir on death. However, your minor titles will still be split up and you will have your demesne rather weak, which makes you very vulnerable to factions. I guess you have that early partition law or multiple titles of the highest tier?Įarly it's smooth to just have one Kingdom (and with that tribal law not enough land to form a second kingdom) and then go straight to one Empire.
