Question about muslim succession laws

[Zzyzx]

So I went through the manual, but it only lists the succession laws for feudal christian domains. There are two types of succession in the game for the muslim community, but they don't get any explanation in the manual. These two types are Turkish succession and open elective succession. Does anyone know how these work and what the pros and cons are?

If there is already a thread about this I'm very sorry, but I didn't see any.

I concur in asking for an explanation. Turkish succession was often decided by fighting it out, but what that means exactly in game I don't know.

In the demo at least there was also Agnatic Open.

So a solid explanation would be fascinating!

I just tested the Turkish succession thing. The main heir is the strongest descendant, where the rank and then the number of titles decides (quite like elective in CK1). Ik gives a lot of bonuses, so keeping stability is not really a problem at first, but there is a huge chance of succession wars. Expect rebellions whenever your leader dies if you gave your sons lands. It is a difficult situation for large empires if you roleplay.

Interesting. What is the margin needed to avoid, or provoke, succession wars - and is it two-sided or multi-sided?
