Burgundian inheritance crisis in CS?

[Woifee]

Does it still exists? Are the conditions to fire still the same?

 

[DukeDayve]

I don't know about conditions but it still exists. It has fired in all 3 games I've played so far. In one of them Austria got the land, in another Milan got the land and in a third France got a handful of provinces while Flanders got the rest.

 

[Dnote]

I've had it fire in my one of my games, don't think the conditions have changed, but Austria automatically annexes the vassals as well now.

 

[Assalander]

Playing as Flanders, the low countries under PU got released after the death of the first Duke (despite a regular succession), don't know whether it was luck or scripted to do so when the player is in the area. So the Emperor only got Nevers when the inheritance happened.

If the greater partner in the PU has negative prestige or relations with the lesser partner then the PU will dissolve on the monarch's death.

 

[Assalander]

Relations were positive but I didn't check prestige so that must be it. I don't think Burgundy was involved into any war though so does it begin with negative prestige?

 

[Woifee]

In my Irish play trough it didn't fire and in my austrian Game I stayed in war with them like forever with positive warscore and it didn't fire.

It fires and all the land Burgundy controls, including PU minors and vassals, is annexed.

In my Bohemia game France got half of it and the rest has gone to the biggest Savoy I've ever seen

 

[Mafiabrett]

It still exists but Austria doesn't get the free land nearly as much anymore which is NICE! I love the variety

 

[CyberianK]

It exists and what happens is
1 - King of Burgundy dies
2 - Burgundy instantly inherits the PUs
3 - France event happens
4 - Austria Event happens

each step one or more days apart

And you can actually break the Austria Inheritance to free lands which is extremely Exploity, see here:

So... what's the point of PUs?

So... what's the point of PUs?

The PUs are only annexed with 100% certainty if the event fires and the relations between them are above 0 iirc. This is just so that the inheritance can be done for France and whoever is the emperor at the time in a manner that makes sense and has less chance of "going wrong" (The emperor not getting 1 of several events to inherit some of the PU'd provinces, for example).

If the event doesn't fire, the PUs will only be inherited through normal circumstances. The idea of giving Burgundy all the PUs, as far as Im aware, was to make them a bit more powerful whereas France is weaker without all of its vassals.
