Difference Between Confederate partition and Partition?

[torodazstieros]

In practical play is there any difference between these two? I can't really find them and am not in the situation that 'extra' titles are created since there is a lot of land

[Lazerz]

Simple way to put it is, confederate partition will make NEW titles if you have over one heir to inherit. Partiton will not. say you have a duchy and your ruler dies with confederate partition it will form another duchy for your other heir/heirs to inherit making it so they have a title the same rank as the one you have/player heir therefore they will no longer be under your rule

[DavesBarbaricCookie]

to expand on the example of lazerz, since his isn't rlly that good: if you own for example two kingdoms worth of titles under your own kingdom title (you just conquered enough land of enother de jure kingdom title, but did not create said title), the game will, on your death, create the other kingdom title, give it to your heir, thus making him independent of your heir, since he has a title of the same rank as your heir. thus it is mostly a ptoblem if you overextended your lands near the end of your reign

Partition:

- titles of equal tier as your primary are being distributed and granted independence
- titles of lower tier within your realm are equally distributed
- if no titles of at least duke-rank are available, you domain counties will be distributed instead



Confederate:

- titles of equal tier as your primary are being CREATED and granted independence, if you hold enough land to create the title, and it does not exist.
- the rest works the same





Basically means that as long as you are stuck in confederate partition, the only way to keep your realm together is to have an empire. Otherwise the land will be split into separate kingdoms over and over again.

Note that if any titles are becoming independent, lower ranking titles within that new realm are not available for other heirs.

Example if you started in Ireland, then Scotland will become independent with your secondborn son, you cannot have your thirdborn inherit a duchy within Scotland.

With regular partition you could simply destroy additional kingdom titles.
