What kind of things do you do to increase your own power using the Emperor's position. I don't care so much in electing my heirs indefinitely (also my heir is useless, to my shame), I'm more interested in increasing in power within the empire, using what is probably a very short-term position to do so.
There are many kingdom level titles that are available for me to create but how would I keep them? If I create them as emperor, are they going to be primogeniture kind of titles that will go to my heir or remain elective and pass on to the next emperor? If it's the later, is there a way to keep them somehow? I'm thinking I could create them and award them to my heir (normally, not as viceroalties of course). Would that work? Would they become elective within their de jure regions?
I'm playing on ironman so I can't just do it and see what happens.
