Can anyone tell me how to mod my favourite law back from CK - Oldest son with highest martial value inherits all titles? I can't seem to play without it, always been my favourite!


Another issue is i've played mostly as the duchess of toscana, and i get bashed, since i can only muster around 1k troops from entire realm, while typical arabs come with 4-8k stacks of troops, so if i dont have alot gold and can't hire mercs its quite lost


How do you get so big armies is my question really?

1. Not possible.

2. Mercenaries, holy orders and allies. Or spend 200 years upgrading your provincial infrastructure (the second and last are probably not an option in your case). Did you break away from the HRE? Otherwise the emperor should defend you if you were not the aggressor. If you were the aggressor or broke away from the HRE that early, I guess you learned a lesson.

Shouldn't your lord, the emperor, protect you with his massive force?
Beeing a vassal is an advantage, especially in a low-authority-Empire.
If you're talking about offensive wars try to be allied with the emperor
and call him in.

You can't create any new succession laws, but you can mod the rules that determine when you can switch between them.

The nearest laws to what you are looking for are primogeniture (oldest eligible child inherits everything) and elective (for each title the vassals vote on who should get it). With elective you can stack the deck by making the chosen heir more powerful, but his popularity with the electors will be important.

I haven't looked at it properly, but there is also Turkish succession which looks interesting, although it is limited to Turks.
