No!!! Don't you see? That's exactly what podcat and Darkrenown want!
I do not see any reason to be. It is mostly just a fix for three cases:
1) When you create a higher title, e.g. a king forming forming an empire and suddenly all dukes hate you.
2) When switching primary kingdom.
3) When a duke inherits a kingdom his old count vassals start hating him.
The actually saves are not modified. You just need to play them in an old version of CK2 (something which is hard to install if you run Steam).
Will cultures tend to stick to their starting type of succession? Be nice if the AI at least stayed what they were rather than going for primo as soon as the player does.
Maybe even in future succession style could be linked to culture permanent? The only way to change it would be to shift culture.
ie wow this tutor has taught me of a better way from across the sea! From now on we will do the same as them. Would make regions more flavourful to play.
Slightly off topic but i also think CA should be per ruler and reset depending on how the succession went. Ie an old monarch could have raised it up high but on death an adult son takes it on as medium or a child as limited.
CA raiseable every 10 years and penalties for changing it reduced to indicate a monarchs growing power within the realm.
Would make playing counts less boring as less time would be spent above medium and make realms more fluid.

Been thinking about this, not sure yet what the best solution is.
I agree that a Dutch city, ruled by a Dutch baron and a Dutch duke for the past x years should be named Dutch, even though the Emperor (I didn't vote for him) may be German.
However, I can imagine a freshly conquered Scottish settlement by the English to be renamed anyway, even though the Scottish baron may still be in power.
I'm thinking about a year thing:
If the [entity] has recently changed hands, it will get the name relevant to the highest ruler. So if the German emperor attacks and gets a set of French baronies, including barons, they will be renamed to their German counterparts.
After, say, 25 years, the naming decision drops a notch. As will it be for each next 25 years until the ruler itself is the name-giver.
Example:
The King of Ireland swears feilty to the (English) Emperor of Britannia. The king has a Scottish duke ruling in North-Ireland, which ended up with a Dutch baron.
Before the feilty, Ireland will have it's Irish name, Northern-Ireland will have it's Scottish name, and the barony will have it's Dutch name (I can imagine Irish baronies not having Dutch names, in which case they should revert to Scottish as part of the Dutchy)
The first 25 years all of Ireland will be English. If the Emperor so pleases, he can remove and replace those nasty Irish and Scottish for some of his own culture, or convert them.
Between 25 and 50 years, assuming the King of Ireland is still in power, the Kingdom will revert to it's Irish name.
Between 50 and 75 years, the Dutchy of North-Ireland will regain it's Scottish name
After 75 years, the Barony will have it's Dutch name, which makes everything as normal again.
Blah. Brainfarting, and this is probably not very true-to-life. Alternatively, just give the lower power the option to choose between the names, and give a relationship penalty if it doesn't choose to adopt the liege's preferred name.
The thing is, in 'general' you are dealing with the top liege ie king of England dealing with the kaiser... Who cares what the peasant folk call it the kaiser calls it German names.
I wonder if England will have Saxon Names pre conquest?
How about it depends on what level you're playing?
So, if you're a count, all of the counties in your duchy will have the names of the count's cultures. All of the dutchies in the same country will have the name of the duke culture, and all other kingdoms will have culture of king. So if you're in the Netherlands, talking to another Dutch count, you will refer to Leuven instead of Löwen. However, if you look at the map towards the Kingdom of England, it will have the names of the King's culture, because if you decide to invade England, it matters how the king calls the damn place.
Either way, I'm overthinking this lol.
I think i just went cross eyed...
I understand however seems to me that mostly places are currently named as per their game localisation... Maybe i'm wrong but to me the whole map always seems to have the english version of the names so already this will add some flavour.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the Republic is being released on the 10th instead of next monday? I can't wait.
Can patricians who are not doges hold any landed titles except of trading posts? For example Venetian patrician family holding counties in Crete?

So under Tanistry can you nominate someone your Tánaiste (designated heir), or is there any special title business involved?
Wow, this is so much more than I was expecting from the patch. Definitely looking forward to 1.09 and the Republic!
It's not hard to do at all, even with steam. You just need to copy the game files to another location on your hard-drive and launch the exe file from there.

maybe using highest existing liege title inforior to emperor ?
then a duchy directly under an emperor would use duke's culture...
The problem is getting a copy of the files from an old version after you have upgraded. I personally have saved all versions since 1.07b.
