In one game, I played in Ireland as is suggested for new players. I’ve got a question about elective succession. Another problem with it is if you have two titles of the same rank (like in your case, maybe Kingdom of Scotland and Ireland) it can be tricky to get both sets of vassals to vote for the same candidate. It is always risky, though, especially if you catch a bad break and have a short reign. The major drawback, though, is that all your vassals with a title one tier below yours get a vote (so, i.e., if it’s a kingdom all the dukes get a vote), and so there’s a chance they can elect a non dynasty member at which point you lose that title and your heir has to muck on with just the lower tier and demesne holdings.Įlective succession in practice isn’t too bad because your vassals will usually vote for your hand-picked candidate if their opinion of you is pretty high and simply having elective succession creates a pretty big opinion boost. So, for example, you can pick the one son that did get the genius trait. Meanwhile, Gudrød was horribly maimed while hunting wild boars for his winter feast (which didn’t go very well) so it’s probably a good idea to reload anyway…Įlective has the advantage that you can (to a certain extent) hand pick your successor. The issue may be that my four princes aren’t yet of legal age (or maybe I’m not checking the proper menus) and I was thinking, maybe it would’ve been better to wait and hope she conceives a daughter, who I could betroth into my dynasty, and whack her son at my leisure? Would that even work? The husband’s murder went swimmingly (literally – his carriage “accidentally” crashed into a river and he drowned – Princess Grouch herself even joined in the plot!) But there’s a problem – despite being single again, she’s not available for marriage. Seems like a perfect opportunity to marry into her line of succession – except for the wrinkle that she’s married and has an infant son. Both counties are owned by a single lord, who’s currently rotting in a Scottish dungeon due to a prior rebellion, so his sister (Princess Grouch) is his sole heir. I’m playing Gudrød Crovan of Søreyar, with an eye to taking over Scotland and possibly the rest of Britannia (every damn tutorial/let’s play that I’ve seen starts in Ireland or Wales, so I wanted to try something different.) After pacifying my uppity vassals and consolidating the Duchy of Gallaway, my eyes turned towards the counties of Moray & Ross for expansion.
Anyway, I tried a bit of intrigue that didn’t have the result I was hoping for, and I’m wondering if there’s a way to salvage the situation or if I should restart from an earlier save. Tonight I spent six hours clicking through menus, most of the time completely baffled by what I was looking at. First, thanks to Terminus Est for gifting me a copy of this crazy game, though I foresee many hundreds of hours wasted ahead.
