The Gavelkind Law is the worst, where all sons inherit equally. If I'm not mistaken, didn't the Welsh due this, to their detriment? And I think pre-Conquest England did too.

Yeah, but maybe this part does not refer to succession, but to the general establishment of who are relatives. If I understand correctly, those broader family ties play a role too.
I guess so, or that sex doesn't matter at all (like e.g. in modern Norway or Sweden...).
I wonder when the "screenshots" thread will live up to its name...*sigh*
The map looks KICK ARSE! So many lil provinces....yum.

if so there should be a law of genre preference, male or both as equal, think is better no add female, not to get strange successions and totally unhistorical
really nice, altough I'm more into Victoria, I'm gonna visit this forum more and more,
I like the map very much, altough the upper icons are a bit dull,

Don't think so.
The absolute worst system was the Kievan Rus 'shifting sands' thing where everyone basically got into a stack.
They tried to take it from the free peasentry on the (edit to spell steps more correctly) steppes I think...or am i confused? I took that class a long time ago..(2 years..heh)
did anyone scroll their mouse to the edge of the screen while looking at the screenshot? i swear, i just did, as if i were playing the game.
on a side note, i think they should up the brightness. lighter colors work best.

Well, the lands of the father were divided up by all his sons, with each of the resulting principality ranked in order of importance - the most important went to the oldest, the next to the next oldest, and so on. When the oldest son died, his sons didn't inherit, but his next oldest brother, who gave up his principality to his next brother, who in turn gave up his principality for his next brother, and so on. Members of the next generation joined the line at the at the end of the queue...
Oh Gawd I see my life passing before my eyes for the months after the game comes out.
I like the screenshot!, it's the first we see and it's the confirmation of the release of the game in the next months....
I can't wait!!

Sure hop so, considering the amazingly long time it took for them to reach this stage, it should be out really soon.Originally posted by Einar Matveinen

The principalities were "ranked", i.e. the oldest son got the best title (Kiev), the second oldest got the second best title (Novgorod IIRC) and so forth... Then, if the Grand Prince in Kiev died the throne was given to the Prince of Novgorod, and all the other Princes moved up one step.
I believe this is the system listed as "Heirs' Ladder" in the screenie.
Great!
Im only sad that wird parts of Eu1/Eu2 map were copied on CK map
(Placement of Islands, Israel/Syria coast looking like banana, space from Suez to Hebron x2 (or x3) big on map than IRL etc )
I only hope that they fixed size disproportion of Iberia and Smal Asia
(IRL Turkey is x2 size than Spain+Portugal, on EU maps it was other way around )
But still, whit all that new provinces, I could live whit that
