crusader kings 2 title loss on succession

Let's say you didn't pay attention to that fact that your vassal had territory in all 3 dejure kingdoms. In this case, he will get the bonus for 'increased Crown authority' 3 times over (at least that how it used to be, I'm not sure if it's been patched because I learned very quickly after release that a lot of weird/buggy situations would be avoided by only having one kingdom/empire title).Īlso this situation applies to changing succession laws. Say you have Ireland, Scotland, and Wales and you want to change Crown Laws, but you have a vassal who is duke of Dublin, Duke of Deheubarth, and also holds the Isle of Mann. Now no matter what succession law you have (unless elective but that obviously has a whole list of its own reasons why you want just a single top-level title) a potential multiple-heir situation because the Byzantine Empire title gives preference to the 'born in the purple' trait for succession.

The prestige bonus really isn't that big a deal.Īlso, let's say you end up eventually getting a claim on Byzantium through marraige, and you decide to press it. I even destroy my own duchies, so that I only have one. Unless you're dead set on having them all be agnatic-cognatic primogeniture, or some other simple succession law I highly reccomend destroying non-primary titles. There are a number of ways your multiple kingdom titles could end up in multiple hands down the line. For one thing, the realm can't be split apart in the future except by an independence war. It makes it much easier to control your realm if you only have 1 kingdom or empire title.
