IMO it's fair to rehash conversations after a patch comes out which doesn't address them.
The partition system seems intentionally designed to give the smallest number of counties possible to the primary heir. As far as I can tell, this is a way of stabbing players to make the game seem "challenging". However, it's done in a way that makes no sense when analyzed.
For example, I just died and inherited 6 counties. I have 3 eligible sons. Originally the primary heir was going to get 1 county, with the others getting 2 and 3. The primary heir was a POS, so I disinherited him to make my second son my player heir, and divide the realm one way fewer. Now the 6 counties are going to be split 4/2 against my player heir.
Why? This makes no sense. Why would the heir who is considered to be the primary heir get the smallest cut? There is no logical reason other than the obvious: to create "challenge" in the game. Nonsensical challenges are not fun challenges.
If anyone out there is going to answer that "There is nothing wrong here, this makes total sense, get good scrub", then I pose a challenge to you: Find a historic example to back this up. There are P L E N T Y of examples of feudal inheritance. Find me the example where the heir who this game would consider to be the primary heir, ie got the most valuable title, also got the least land.
