Transition from Theocracy should remove heir

[Hipster_on_Ice]

The title about says it. The transition to a monarchy from a theocracy should remove the heir from your theocracy as a model of the institution of dynastic succession. Right now it does not do so.

Historically speaking, if you look at the most prominent examples, Prussia and Courland, the rulers that instituted a monarchy put their children on the throne following their deaths. All said, it's rather odd to have another grown man from a different dynasty as your heir following the transition, especially if your ruler is from a prominent dynasty and the heir is not (eg Hohenzollern vs some randomly generated dynasty).

Besides, you might lose out on unions and whatnot.

Another idea that I think may improve the game in the same respect would be to make it so that the AI Teutonic Order and Livonian Order are less incapable of converting to Protestant and reforming into Prussia and Kurland, respectively. I think the only reason I've ever seen a Protestant LO was because it fell to rebels, and even then they were still trying to convert their 100% Protestant provinces back to Catholic before that happened.

In previous patches I saw Kurland form from Old Prussian nationalists, but that isn't a thing anymore. I don't think I've ever seen an AI TO formed Prussia. It's just odd that they refuse to convert even with 0% religious unity.
