It's pretty convoluted -- basically, your children can inherit, but only if they're female and a prime number (in order of birth). Failing that, a random bishop within your realm will inherit, and again failing that (for example, if you hold all bishop titles personally), a random courtier.Can someone explain how Tanistry works?

Presumably if there are no courtiers, the game just crashes. I guess we'll see Monday.

So I'm taking it the patch doesn't include a means to shift holdings to another type. So high slot counties stacked with castles and churches will remain junk.
I thought it was pretty clear that this was an easy change that desperately needed to be made. I expected it in the patch.
Disappointing.
Tanistry sounds like a mix between Elective and Seniority.
the fact that you'll have difficulty overcoming the short reign bonus and that your rulers are all old is liability enoughYeah, so it will be interesting to see how they will prevent it from being the by far best succession method in the game.

Well, that is true for seniority too so tanistry might be better than seniorty.

Or -- more realistically, given the time period -- Latin. So what if the Orthodox and Muslim regions complain? Deal with it.
Besides, Londinium just sounds so much better.

It is mostly a filthy misappropriation of the public penny for your own selfish re-election needs.
The AI will act as if the public holdings are its own for as long as it rules the Republic.
Other patricians will contribute through taxes.
Speaking of which, if you put the burgher tax rate to a maximum as Doge, you might regret it when you then become a vassal of the next Doge and have to pay those taxes ^^
Being elected out of power periodically will really change the way you approach the game, I'm eager to try it.
Though I'm afraid there will be the temptation to just assassinate any serious competitor in the elections. I hope there will be a harsh penalty if you're caught trying to do that, even if you're the Doge and thus cannot be imprisoned (like any member of your family losing respect and any chance to win the next elections, or even a general revolt).
As the leader of a Patrician family, you have somewhat less control than a feudal noble would over who the male members of your dynasty marry. New events can see them marrying anything from a bar wench to the daughter of a wealthy merchant.
Could we please get something like that for feudal families too? Having all kids marry whomever their dad chooses without a hitch can get kinda boring. It'd be fun if every once in a while your teenaged heir runs off with a lowborn courtier, ruining your carefully arranged betrothal in the process. Just ask Robb Stark!
