Hi all,
I've had this game, where suddenly one of my successors disappeared from the succession list without reason (for me at least), and now i have to pick someone else, though I have no clue why.
Duke Berthold had 7 children, 6 daughters from his first wife, and 1 (genius) daughter from his second wife.
One of his first daughters, he married matriliearily off to a danish price.
They begot 3 children, one of which was the heir to my reign.
After he died i chose the 7th daughter of the original ruler (his aunt) as new heir and kept playing her up to now.
Now i want to chose my great-nephew as heir (the grandson of my half-sister).
And i could do so, until i fought and won a war over Aragon for his mother, to place him in 1st line of succession for Aragon.
- first i thought it would be HRE Crown Authority. But even changing that in the savegame - to understand whats going on - didn't help
- he's also frankish and not german, but usually that doesnt matter either
- he IS in my country, he's even my Steward.
- even giving a county to him, didnt help, i still can't select him
- when hovering my mouse over his face, the game displays (Your kinsman). I CAN select other "kinsman" as heirs, but not him
WHY?
------------------------
Also on a sidenote, i had something happen to me during the war for Aragon, which also made no sense.
While fighting them (and having captured 3 counties), the muslims decided to invade Aragon.
They took a county and the king of France decided to help Aragon out,
so his army of 20k walks through the counties i conquered and marches toward the muslim one.
Then the Aragon army attaches to his army (so far so good),
and suddenly he keeps attacking and freeing all counties i held in Aragon.
He was NOT listed as ally in the war I was fighting. I was so afraid,
i put all my armies on ships and waited until he was finished.
He walked off, i recaptured and France came back to kick my butt out of Spain. What gives?
I had to wait till the muslims were beat and suddenly he stopped attacking my conquered holdings in Aragon.
That war cost me about 700g (all i had) in mercenaries, although i could've beat him without any expenses otherwise.
