I think decadence should also cause vassal opinion malus, say -1 for each percent above 25% decadence. Hopefuly it would help to break big decadent blobs.MAJOR:
- Decadence now negatively affect your vassal limit.

I so wanted that to be in. I know some players hate it, but it's a historically realistic anti-blobbing device and the essence of what gavelkind is about. It also ties into the tribal idea of clan/family rule rather than estate-like inheritance of kingdoms, duchies etc. from one individual to the next.
Eh, I understand the sentiment but it was making some pretty odd situations if you were making custom kingdoms.

1. Castile, Leon, Gallicia.(Or Leon, Castille, Navarra). 'Imperator Totius Hispanniae' at its best.
Also should enable something like Bulgarian/Serbian emperors due to small de iure kingdoms in the Balkans.
2. France in some starts. k_France has room for 118 holdings, k_Aquitaine 102, Flanders 31 and Brittany 25. Actually, k_England can hold 124 and Wales 31, that's 155 from start in some starts, before including Irish provinces — a half of Ireland would be 24.5, and England sometimes holds that much. At that level of development 800 gold shouldn't be an insurmountable obstacle.
3. Still, removing the absolute requirement of 3 kingdoms means empires can form in some places where a local power would simply not have 3 royal crowns due to there not being so many de iure kingdoms at hand. Perhaps an empire will form out of k_Africa or k_Mauretania, or k_Egypt.

This is still an improvement imo, because titular title creation led to weird stuff like k_magyars being recreated for example. However I think creating custom titular titles on inheritance is something that could be explored.
Well you also need prestige.
I agree that it might be a little bit too easy though (imo there should always be some realm size requirement) but I'm glad the three kingdoms thing got removed simply because the AI often can't form kingdoms due to harsh cultural restrictions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it only concerns titular titles, i.e. kingdoms, that no longer have de jure lands. This was an issue related to custom kingdoms taking place of default kingdoms.
Ooh! I like that idea. The issue I see with it ATM is that custom kingdoms are a DLC feature while elective gavelkind is a patch feature which could result in some wonkiness. However as long as the decision still required the DLC it could work.Hmm. Well. Maybe a custom kingdom named after the secondary heir's capital duchy/county?
Gavelkind broke my game (latest beta).
First, King of Navarra holds the duchy of Navarra but no counties in the duchy. The primary duchy is another one, not part of dejure Navarra: On succession the eldest inherits the Kingdom and the county of Navarra (not previously held). Younger brothers inherit the duchy of Navarra as well as the previous primary duchy, splitting the counties within it between themselves, including the previous defacto capital. Why did the heir get a county not actually held by his father, but not the defacto capital county? Why did he not inherit the primary duchy? Why did he not get any duchy?!
Second, completely game breaking: King of Navarra holds the Kingdom but no duchy (see above), holds two counties in dejure Navarra (conquest). On succession, the eldest son gets no titles (!) just a claim on the Kingdom, the second and third get a county each. Focus moves to the second son, a single county count, as oldest son is landless. The Kingdom of Navarra has dissolved. Why did the eldest not inherit the Kingdom and its (dejure and defacto) capital?!
I could see a Kingdom dissolving through a succession crisis somehow, but this just seems very broken.
