Tanistry: Elections for new ruler after losing war?

[Edmondo]

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody could confirm whether this is intended or possibly a bug?

My ruler under tanistry succession law lost a war (internal revolt), and then more or less without warning, it switched to the new heir (who previously had the most votes for tanist). The previous ruler is not dead and is in my court.

My question is basically: Does tanistry force elections if you lose a war?

Thanks.

It's not tanistry. If you lose an internal revolt you abdicate to your heir.

I see! I was not aware of this rule - interesting. Thanks.

It also depends on the type of revolt I believe, depending on the goal of the war. You'd have to check the wiki for the various revolt CBs for details though.
