Hello,
So after long play I managed to create a fun scenario in which a Holy Roman Empire was form with four kingdoms under one dynasty. When the first son of the old emperor was elected I gave the last land of Bohemia to the first born and switched to play the Bohemian king. A few hundred years the dynasty I currently play as is a sub-branch, nothing related to other kings and Emperor's of the Empire, and without paying much attention my king was elected the Emperor, with a elected heir of a completely different kingdom than my own- My Emperor dies and I am forced to play as the elected Emperor with all my previous dynasties titles going on to the formal Emperor.
I find this to be... rather a massive problem. As you, being part of the Empire, would dread becoming an emperor, because the next guy in line of the election will cease all the lands of your dynasty and you are forced to play his dynasty, forsaking your old one, thus making your short reign as a Emperor a curse rather than a blessing, instead of becoming Emperor, expanding the empire and when you die, the crown passess on to who ever was elected while you continue playing heir of your dynasty rulling your lands.
If my memory serves me correctly in Crusader kings 2 that was the case: The Elected Emperor would not inherint the previous emperor's titles, and once that emperor died his titles would be inherited by his dynasty heirs while the crown would pass out to another elected Emperor, with the capital being his domains capital.
Still, I do hole paradox will fix the holy Roman empire, as of current it's rather broken when it comes to succession and how titles are passed down.
