Dynasties and No Child Can Be Khan

[Squirrelloid]

When a steppe tribe kills it's heir instead of having a regency, how does it choose the new dynasty? Is it limited to Steppe tribe dynasties only? Only those steppe tribe dynasties which are still in power somewhere? Something else?

(While the improved stats are nice, the mechanic is frustrating when trying to set up a claim throne, because the dynasty keeps changing all the time, but if i can force my dynasty or my target's dynasty to only one option by eliminating the other steppe tribes, that would be really helpful. I'd rather not take on a Timurids that stretches from Arabia through half of India unless I really have to, especially since we've been allied and RMed forever).

I think it draws from a list of all the steppe dynasties available at the 1444 start except Genghisid, and possibly some more. I've gotten Aq Qoyunlu as Mongolia way after the dynasty was destroyed in the near east, and I think I recall getting some dynasties that don't exist in 1444 too, but don't quote me on that.
