[2.3.3] No faction against vice-royalty?

[Kljunas]

This isn't a bug per se, but it looks like an oversight: there doesn't seem to be any factions against vice-royalty laws nor against the "imperial administration" law. So basically once you get viceroys it's impossible to lose them.
Viceroys might hate you, even join independence factions, but they will never ever try to make their title inheritable. That's a bit silly.

That's a good question. I'm not sure that they are supposed to be able to do it, but as you say, it may be a bit strange not to have any factions for it. I'll look into it and will ask the team about it.

Cheers!

Hi, Servancour. I think it was actually said in one of the dev diaries that viceroyalties actually were supposed to have most factions disabled. I remember this, because I remember trying to argue against implementing that kind of solution, as I felt it made pacification of vassals too easy to achieve and also prevented claimants from pursuing their heritage. As in imagine BYZ somehow inherits the Conqueror's son or grandson and appoints some Greek Orthodox guy as viceroy and suddenly there are no more factions in favour of Eadgar or his kids, the young Godwinsons and their kids, or the Conqueror's own breed etc. But the issue largely escape notice, nobody seemed to pay any attention to it.
