385) FEEDBACK: Law Changes not sticking in savegames ? (1.02)

Changes in 1.02 not sticking in savegames?

I started a games as Prince of the Peleponese 1066. After a couple of quick wars, I had conquered several North African provinces and became the most powerful prince in the Empire. Because the Empire has Elective Law in 1.02, I was next in line for the throne. However, upon re-loading my savegame, it seems the Empire has reset to semisalic or whatever it is...I'm no longer even in line for the throne, let alone next. I don't think the Emperor changed the laws because there have been no mass revolts or anything. Did I miss something?

can others confirm this?

I'll try doing it again. Will do exactly what I did before, and see if the same thing happens with savegames. Surely I'm not the only one?

Hm, changed from Elective Law to Semisalic and after loading it was Elective Law again. But this could also be because I inherited the title of Duke of Bosnia while he had Elective Law. I have to check later (tomorrow?) if it is Elective Law again.

I've noticed that most AI rulers gravitate towards the "default" laws of semisalic primogeniture, traditional custom, and ecclesiastical balance. After a few decades, pretty much everyone on the map (including places like Venice and Papal State) will have these laws.

The best way to observe this is with France. It has Salic primogeniture at the start, which means that only the Capet family should ever inherit and the laws should never change. Yet, soon enough, France will somehow become semisalic.
