Dynasty system desperately needed

[GermanDave]

Ladies and gentlemen, let's all face the fact that PU CBs are the hidden gems, the best short-cut in EUIV.

However, the nobility and monarchy system seems a bit too crude currently being a cobweb of diplomatic actions and random events.
There are also a number of oddities such as NL or the Naples both having royal families, but no heirs for curious reasons. Or take for instance the curious fact, that the "ai" doesn't seem to use the 'introduce heir' button at all.

What we therefore need is a system that accurately models the competition between the noble houses and their family trees outside of the country tags. Like countries they should able to compete with other nobility in their geopoloitical region for reputation and riches, slander or support each other.

The ability to build a strong royal house from the start should help smaller nations to achieve Habsburg dominance and free the PU-CB from the confines of the mission tree and those random relatives that can be placed on thrones by way of the favour system actually need a genetic point of origin. Right now those cousins just spawn out of thin air.

Please PDX let's give the Habsburgs something to chew on and give us real family trees.

Given pre-1550AD 1 tag world conquests are a thing by top players, that's an interesting assertion.

I would broadly agree that it's ridiculous that you don't know whether you have more than one heir, however.

Sorry if I didn't make this clear. My OP isn't meant to be an advertisement to enable even earlier blobbing. My concern is that the whole nobility-crown dynamic isn't simulated. Exactly where do all the heirs come from.? There ought be a better simulation of the ruling families.

If Imperator can have full dynastic politics - for Republics, even! - then so can EU… 5.

Honestly, other than trade, just re-skin Imperator, and use that as the alpha for EU5.

Pre 1550? Good lawd!
