The sequence about Ludwig IV. and the bavarian duchies has some weird results.
When Ludwig IV. in 1340 gains cores on Bavaria-Landshut and Bavaria-Straubing those two bavarian duchies get him as a ruler too. But in
Bavaria (BAY) he is Louis IV. (in english) and in BYN and BYS he is Ludwig IV. (in german).
For consistency I suggest to change monarchs_bay.txt
Name from Louis IV to Ludwig IV so that it is identical to his name in BYL, BYS and BYM, BYN and BYU.
And in 1340 an election for Emperor happens while historically Karl IV. of Luxemburg and Bohemia was elected only in 1346.
I assume that the reason for that is the change of the state tag. Ludwig IV. starts in the 1337 scenario as ruling Upper Bavaria and being emperor and that state changes tags to Bavaria - only that the game sees Louis IV of Bavaria as a different person than Ludwig IV. of Upper Bavaria and so has a new emperor elected before his time is up.
Possible solutions I see: Have Ludwig IV start as the ruler of BAY instead of BYU so that a tag change in 1340 is not necessary and he is seen by the game as the same person until his death.
Or have him start and die as ruler of BYU - after all he united Bavaria only for a brief time and we could reserve the BAY tag for a time where Lower and Upper Bavaria had been united for a longer period.
I have no idea if it is possible to stay emperor while changing state tags.
A worse solution would be to keep the BYU start and the tag change to BAY - and artificially hand out lots of good relations so that BAY gets reelected immediately.
Edit: A different idea - perhaps the tag changed could be used to force a change of emperor to the correct time (currently Ludwig IV ceases to be emperor prematurely in 1340, without a tag change he would stay emperor until his death in 1347). Ludwig IV was excommunicated on 13. April 1346 and on 11th July 1346 Karl of Bohemia elected. If the tag change between BYU and BAY is moved to July 1346 that would force an ingame election for a new emperor at that time.
