Succesion laws switching when leader dies?

[RJL18]

Do succesion laws always change when a ruler dies?

Just happened in my demo as a duke where I had the one where it all goes to 1 son and then my leader died (old boy who had ruled for 45 years - 15 years under my control). My son inherited the title but the two pretenders had CB and they owned counties in my duchy and were vassels. However the succession law changed to open elect as soon as the old duek died. Why is this?

Was your son (new leader) a ruler before the old ruler died? If he was and his old demense had elective then I think the sucession laws change to whatever they are in his original demense.

Its still a bug as no noble tittle can have open elective as its only reserved for rebublics and cities. This bug should be fixed in the release version as it has been reported even by reviewers.

I just had something similar...Playing a very aggressive tuscany game, I married the 3rd son of the duke of carinthia, then promptly killed my brother in laws and my father in law. Then, once I had a son, I went to kill my husband (to prevent more sons), but I noticed it somehow switched to elective. The weird thing is, I killed him anyway, and most of the territory did end up going to my son for some reason. On a side note, I was very impressed with my sons choice of marriage, when he picked the only daughter of an old, imprisioned, duke (the duke of savoy)...who shortly after I noticed they were married, had an accident

I had 3 counties. My son was a mayor. His two sons (the pretenders) were both counts. I was the duke with 1 provence. The city my son was mayor in was in my provence.

Which were the titles and regions that were inhertited and which were the ones that your heir had?

Just curious to see if it was a city state origionally.

He already stated that the heir was a mayor and so he got the succession law of the sons mayor tittle. This is a known bug that is fixed in the full game. It seems the demo is made from an old version where several known bugs have been still around.

The son inherited all my titles and his sons were his vassels (but with the succesionr revolt CB). However it was after my son came to the throne that it switched to open elect. Then my son's heir was just some random guy in my court (maybe my spymaster) and his sons (the pretenders) were no longer in line for succesion.

If you notice his time stamp for my question and his answer was the same.

So the issue is clear the problem comes from making the son less than a count in the first place as the game doesnt have a program to make someone the baron of a city only a mayor. If it were a castle he would be fine.
