AI Obsessed with Seniority?

[Cheesecakeczar]

Basically. whenever a vassal rebels it is for seniority. Why do they have such an incredible predisposition to it? I can't even figure how it even helps them.

Our factions are mostly unchanged from vanilla... so probably vanilla thing.

Do vassals not usually try to institute whatever succession favours them most? I wonder if its possible that the longer potential lifespans might cause seniority to be seen as more preferable.

I've seen half of the Dunmer Great Houses go Seniority within 20 years due to factions formed and lead by non-dynasts. Which makes complete and utter no sense at all. It's almost like none of them want to be dukes.

If anything, I'd expect them to rebel for Elective Monarchy.

maybe it has something to do with the requirements, eg: they wont go primo because they cant due to crown laws?

In the regular game, the AI logically goes for elective monarchy so they have a chance of inheriting. In Elder Kings, they seem to go for seniority instead, which makes no sense.

Very well then, I will take a peek at the weights.
