Fewer Female Rulers

Description
This mod changes the default gender succession law to agnatic, as opposed to male-preference. In addition, it limits the changing of succession to male-preference to cultures of Occitan, Basque, Aragonese, and Catalan. Also, it increases the odds of the faction being created against female rulers.

This is hardly an optimal solution to make things more historically realistic, but I'd argue it's more accurate than the fantasy of half of the world being ruled by women during the period in which misogyny was rampant. But what can we really do when Paradox refuses to give us the intermediate of agnatic and male-preference (where uncles succeed before daughters) and jure uxoris.
Even CK1's solution of not having any female rulers is more historically accurate than this game's idea of it, yet in this mod, there can still be female rulers, it's just that they are far fewer.

Update #1:
— Female rulers can no longer command their armies

Update #2:
— Fixed localilization errors, and allowed Eccentric female rulers to lead armies

I would so love for this to be updated. I find CK3 so immersion breaking when a 1 year old girl somehow inherits the throne after a tyranny war...

Seems like the mod broke landless characters for me

women do not pass on and get claims, makes the dynastic game little pointless, it was a bug couple years ago,then paradox fixed it, but this mod brought the bug back

Is it possible to just set the republic to prohibit female inheritance? It's not unusual to have female lords in the Middle Ages, but I don't believe in female mayors, yet the game is littered with them, even in Arabia! And most importantly because they lead to endless incidents of adultery and illegitimate children! (machine translation)
可以仅将共和制设置为禁止女性继承吗?中世纪有女领主还算正常,但我不相信有女市长,但游戏里却遍地都是女市长,甚至包括阿拉伯!而且最重要的是因为她们导致没完没了的通奸事件和私生子!

Does this work with the new patch/dlc?

Also, england should be male preference, as historically that was the way, like spain

Hey why dont you create a semi-agnatic system? it works like male preference but females can not inherit, but males borne out of the female lines may do so, for example, if your king dies without children, but has a sister, and that sister has a son, that male issue will become the new ruler

Also, what about creating an option "disinherit line" so many times for some reasons despite disinherit a bad member of the dyansty as a punishment, his children could still inherit, this would make his line be totally unable to inherit the titles of the main line that disinherited them (but not their own titles if they have any of course)

Female rulers can no longer command their armies

Thats is kinda unrealistic though, it was not uncommon for women to take command of their spouses army if the spouse was away and no other highbornes of similar status were present

Updated at last, but I was unable to test it.
