Isabella won't die!

[unmerged(7010)]

I've been playing the campaign game in EUII, playing Castille/Spain. I've tried it out four different times from the start, and each time "Their most Catholic Majesties" Ferdinand & Isabella reign interminably ... or at least as far as 1605, when I get fed up and start again. The result of this un-natural longevity, I surmise, makes it so that Aragon remains a perpetual vassal of Spain, rather than being united with it on the succession of their daughter. Also, Spain remains a permanent vassal of Austria, as Charles V can never inherit Spain, or pass it along with the Spanish Netherlands to his son.

Also, in one instance, even though I chose the "Hold the Iberian Wedding" option, and Aragon became a vassal, Ferdinand never entered the picture at all, and Isabella ruled as sole monarch (with her rather mediocre military skill) for 87 years before I pulled the plug on that scenario.

Is anyone else having this, or similar problems?

Hmm, I thought this was fixed in 1.01, but maybe it's 1.02. However the version of 1.02 currently available is the wrong one and is broken, don't use it;, we'll probably have to wait til 7 Jan at least before this is fixed up.

Actually whenever I play Castille I never make it past Juan II ... it really stinks 'cause he is truly crappy monarch! - Anyway, it seems that it is another one of the bugs from the previous versions that are only officially removed (however in real life they still exists ... tsk tsk tsk shame on you Paradox)

I think this problem was fixed

I restarted my game using 1.2 and I have not had a problem with this bug since..
