Primary Heir wasnt given capital county?

[dbix11]

Playing Ireland with Confederate Partition. I died and my brother who was not the primary heir listed received the bulk of the land plus the capital county. According to the tool tip that is not supposed to happen.

What happened?!?!?

Your brother? Did you not have sons?

What culture do you have is your succession type Tanistry?

Sorry i didnt explain that nearly as well as i should have.

Kingdom of Ireland, 2 dutchys

I died, Primary Heir my son Inheirted a dutchy that did not contain the capital.

The other dutchy with the capital went to second son, new heir's brother.

Okay so your Primary son became King and retained the Capital but the other son got the Duchy title and the other holdings in the capital duchy?
While your main son got the other duchy?
Correct?

2 Duchies

First son, Primay Heir (my playable character) received the duchy that the capital was not part of

Second son (not primary heir) received duchy with capital

That means your capital changed and that should not happen unless your elder son was already landed???

That's why you always have to check your succesion tab and see titles you gonna lose after each sucession. But it strange. Your primary heir should always gain a capital.

Happened in CK2 too, not sure what kind of inheritance gotcha there is behind it, but it can suck a lot if your main duchy is the powerhouse and you get some undeveloped crap land.

If i understand correctly, the titles are given in order of...

the best titles to the worse. Dutchies then earls then counties. In the case of multiple titles with multiple heirs or sons then it goes from most powerful then newest to oldest. FYI your succession laws can alter this.

You only retain the Earldom for the captial. The higher titles can change hands.

That contradicts with the tooltip saying you will always hold your main duchy and county whatever in it.

Tanistry's broken with Confederate Partition, I got this too during my tutorial playthrough. You gotta reach Partition before Tanistry starts to behave as intended.

Im so early in the game that its not possible for me to change those succession laws. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tooltip is definitely wrong, i don't know if what happened is a bug or some strange loophole in how succession works.

Either way it makes no sense why my Primary Heir would get the ♥♥♥♥ duchy which i intentionally left undeveloped that does not hold the capital.
