[2.32 MMUR] Becoming Republic Empire through Faction System = Game Over

[Calbrenar]

Left Umayyid for independence but with a weak claim. Super strong republic with 2x the guys of Umayyid. Got a notification that some guys in Umayyid demanded the EMperor abdicate in my favor. He refused and I joined the war on their side and easily won it.

Once I won the war I got a game over saying I have become the ruler of a republic and am no longer allowed to continue play (I've been a republic for several generations)

What gives?

I expect this is because your capital is now inland (you would have gained the Ummayad capital province as your new capital). The instant unavoidable game over that results is not a good design feature.

While I'm here, Paradox, would it be possible for that misleading (well, wrong) game over message to be separately listed as a bug, and its priority bumped so we don't get more reports about it for ANOTHER 3 years?

Hrm so there's no way to keep my own capital or does it have to do with the type of CB? I guess I need 8000 prestige if I want to be an empire.

You become emperor so your capital moves.

Thanks for the report, we're looking into this.

No other title changes change your capitol that I'm aware of. Maybe it has to do with the faction system resulting in a capitol change as opposed to you creating the title?

Your not creating a title. The faction forces a succession, resulting in you becoming emperor. Since Emperor is higher than your current title, your capital is changed to the empires capital. Since it is inland, it will result in a game over.

It'd be nice if someone decided that having working succession for republics, or converting from feudal => republic, wasn't badwrongfun.

We had to reload this game again from the autosave. I was at 7300 prestige and about to create my own empire since I couldn't take Hispania due to the republic bug and a faction got over 100% and presented the demand to him to make me ruler and he accepted and I got an instant game over.

Luckily on the reload he declined to accept and while they were fighting the war I did another holy war and founded my own empire.
