This one can be used in place of the default one, if you want more realms to adopt the law.
The same adjustments to db\laws.txt and config\law_names.csv must be made.

I don't think I understand this. It looks like the only effect of changing the inheritance law sets the realm's law to monastic supremacy. I don't see how that lets females inherit. What am I missing?

 

[jordarkelf]

It tricks the game into setting a church law as an inheritance law. Since church laws do not do anything about inheritance, it will force the game to use the built-in default inheritance laws, which happen to be doing exactly what we want: male privilege primogeniture, so women can inherit after males.

My first take on this was to just set an invalid law (not using a church law), but that causes a crash on WindowsXP and is only usable on Vista/Win7. It can also not be used in the GUI, whereas the church law trick can.

Also take a look at Damsels Not In Distress for more guidence on female succession and how that impacts your game. There is a minor tweek to Jord's mode here, if he doesn't mind my plugging that. But you would be able to read that in the Damsels Not In Distress thread. See my signature for the link there.
