what is best succession law for my duchy of petty kingdom of munster

[PatoPixelado]

what i should choose? i have irish culture

Any is fine, there is a google that will talk about which one is best n so on. Even though you can see various succession laws, doesn't mean you can enact it. Feudal, gotta be Feudal. If you're tribal, maybe only tanistry is available...

[dwarfpcfan]

the best is primogeniture but you won't have it until 1200s.

[Half-lidded Bruiser]

Primogeniture, which you can have immediately if you play with mods like a TRVE CHAD.

[jpcerutti]

Are you asking as a development goal, what the best would be if you debug/edited, or what is possible with all the developments and hybrid cultures?

In the beginning, you're tribal. It is going to be confederate and if you reach the "king" level it is going to be an elective position.

Tanistry is actually "okay" because it can only pick dynasty members.

And, at least the last time i used this some years ago, you also get to play this elected heir. Unlike the other elective laws, where you simply lose your primary title and become a vassal.

But the voters tend to pick older and more distant relatives, so after some generations your heir is mostly some old guy you don't even know. Which is also why i avoid this law.



Partition is generally the way how you are "supposed" to play until Primogeniture. Forge claims, conquer land piece by piece, give away new lands to random barons without claims or extensive family ties.

Have children, create or usurp as many titles as they need until your primary heir no longer loses land. To handle this:

Press F2 -> succession tab -> expand the "lost titles on succession" bar at the bottom.

This is always up to date and shows exactly which child gets which titles.
Holding any extra duchy title will stop the other kids from getting land from your personal domain.

So you simply create a duchy title for each child that needs it, and keep it until you die. They inherit the capital of the duchy along with the title.

Unless one son inherits a kingdom title, then the others cannot inherit anything inside that kingdom. So just move from Confederate- to regular Partition once available. And avoid holding more than 1 kingdom, unless there are no more duchies to distribute within.
