Elective Monarchy - Countries I don't know about supporting a heir

[Kagemin]

Was just checking on the nations supporting heirs in my country. Ethiopia has been at it for a while now, which is fine, the house of Solomonid should carry some weight in the Christian world after all. Next up my long standing ally France.
After that we have mister Acamapichtli from the Aztecs, he's the attraction at the court currently.
And then it gets a little weird:

Noone really knows where he comes from, but miraculously some nobles are supporting him yet.



I think it'd make sense to make Poland/ the Commonwealth knowing about a country a requirement for that country supporting their candidate. Or the other way round, make a country supporting their candidate give knowledge of them.

Strange things happen when non-Europeans get involved--there should probably be some kind of regional limitation to these things (Ethiopia is stretching it too to be honest). The HRE electing an emperor of a tag that isn't visible to anyone but Spain and their CNs is a similar nonsensical result of treating tags equally as long as they fulfill certain basic criteria. The HRE electing an emperor whose tag can't be seen by anyone but SPain and its CNs? Check. As an added bonus, this seems to have the side effect of removing the HRE interface until the player discovers the tag somehow.

Edit: Come to think of it, it begs the question whether AI tags are omniscient: how did the HRE elect an emperor they couldn't see? If I couldn't see that tag, there's no way that the landlocked electors of the HRE could.

THAT needs to be reported to the BUG forum.

It was in another thread. It's not a bug. The HRE is simply so demolished, that there's only 3 electors left and they all despise everyone around them... so they chose someone nobody hates. The game allows non-members to be made emperor (such as Spain); having someone in the middle of nowhere elected is just the extreme, but in this case, the conditions within the empire are also pretty extreme.

For elective monarchy it's a problem that comes from nations being able to see you, but you not seeing them. I would prefer if PLC heirs could only be supported if you were in the same culture group, royal marriage, or same dynasty... but that might be a bit much.

Yes, but how were the electors able to elect a tag they can't see? They're landlocked members of the HRE--if I, as an ally of Spain--the only European tag to explore that area--can't see the tag, how could they? That the tag is even considered is rather broken in itselfx, but as you say a result of my breaking the HRE and feeding it to my Austrian PU slave. It still doesn't explain how an invisible tag got elected.
