Succession, and the AI.

[Gunburned]

Just wanted to point out a few things from many many hours of playing post Conclave and WOL DLC.

AI kingdoms, and many other Catholic realms all seem to switch elective successions
after the 1st 100 years.

Almost every game from the 767 start date has half or more AI realms convert to Elective monarchy.
Even the Byzantium. This makes games become very dull especially when trying to play the game
of thrones, which i feel is an integral part of the game.

Another thing to mention is elective gavel-kind, and I feel that the AI cant handle this succession. They like to spiral out of control.


Does anyone think there can be any changes make to help improve the game in these regards?
How do others feel on this issue?

Elective gavelkind is as nutty as a fruitcake for everybody.

And everyone switching to elective is a problem. You can kinda prevent this by attacking the revolt while it's happening, and also you can try to favor one kingdom which help it become stronger, but not much more.

This really annoys me as well.

It even goes much further sometimes as I`ve seen a Republic of Saxony before it was even 800.

Also right about the Gavelkind succession. I`m new to this game and can`t be sure but I believe these to succession laws also creates a mess of de Jure territories as people somehow inherit very different parts of a kingdom/empire
