Do you guys agree that the marraige and claims system from CK2 is more than appropriate for the majority of the EU4 timeline. I mean some of the major wars of the period were fought between dynasties and not "nations" for example War of the spanish succession(1701-1714) and how a wealthy and powerful nation like burgundy distingrated due land lost because of inheritance. now I don't really know how the royal marraiges and personal unions work in EU4. but I remember that they were noticably underdeveloped and ambigous in EU3.

I'd like a basic one. The whole "your heir {who has been waiting for 49 years} has died, you are now without a lawful heir" shtick is inane and it's unrealistic. Multiple heirs should be easy enough to do. Also, less long-lived Kings. What I'd also like (but don't think we'll get) is the option to name your Kings. Typically the string of monarchs with a given name happened whenever you had a really awesome monarch, and the game just doesn't allow for that.

Dynastic wars could be modeled by event chains, dynamic historical events and special CBs. I would be surprised if the devs were not already doing this actually.

Maybe keep the dynasty map mode, would fit for Austria n Spain, also would be nice to have, knowing in WW1 every Ruler was related to the other one. except for Turkey, no love for turkey, n Greece.
