Another question:
I'm no expert in roman things (well...i know that there were legions and such things ), but i think in this time period there was no ruler like the Cesares. So what Person are we Playing? In CK it was a count, king .... . Am i right that there was something like a chancelor voted by the senate?

There were two consuls, charged with leading the army into battle, as well as numerous minor offices to swap around (from censor to Roman prefect, to the provincial governors, to the popular tribunes etc.)

So if we playing this "chancelor", what if we loose such a vote? can we play as a little governor or ... ? I mean its about Dynastys and it would be some kind of unrealistic if my family would be ruler of the senate for the whole game.
I hope you get my point

In one of the Dev Diaries, it's been said that the player will always control the dynasty in power (no matter which one). In other words, like in most Paradox games, the player does not assume the role of any specific character, but simply the "guiding spirit" or "invisible hand" leading an entire nation.

Imagine if you played that special family in EU: Rome, and you died out because the leader got sick..

"Your faction leader died without an heir, Game Over."

That wouldnt be unthinkable in a game of CK, unlikely but possible. So it wouldnt be a valid objection to playing dynasties in Rome.

Indeed indeed.

unlikely?
so far it's happened every time i've played CK
(but on the other hand, i've only played about 4-5 different campaigns/dynasties)

I would really love a mod so we could play as families in EU:R. It would be super. SUPER. And make it more challenging.

 

[Drachenfire]

Do we know if we can alter the succession laws in monarchies? I am interested in absolute cognatic primogeniture. Or if this succession may be modable?

 

[Snall]

Should def be moddable since we had it in CK.

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Yeah, another thing that would improve the game!

nevermind, I saw it just a few posts up

I would cry and curl up into a ball. Not even joking.

Anyone would do that!

cognatic primogeniture wasn't in CK

 

[vertinox]

I think the CK inheritance system doesn't really work well for Roman era because heirs were often non-blood related, but just adopted. Many full grotwn men would be adopted by the Roman Emperor due to no blood heirs.

I mean I love CK in all its glory but the medieval political system doesn't fit in the Roman political system. There no claims and church after all.

I havn't played in a while but I could swear it was.

Very, very, very true, heirs were usually the first son of the family, or were appointed as such in the Imperial era of Rome, during the Republic adoption was less common but was often used to keep a family going if it had no heirs. I would have thought any way that inheritance would be dictated by the family's culture rather than choosing from a list ala CK.

I would simply like to chose the first born regardless of gender myself. Ahistorical or not.

I was talking in terms of historically and in terms of game mechanics

But Paradox haven't told us how these things work, so there may be different inheritance systems for each culture, there may only be first born son, or there may be a designated heir.
