Immersive Succession
Hey, I made this mod for more believable experience when it comes to realm inheritance, making "Habsburg tactics" (that is expansion by marriage) a more viable strategy, while also making it more risky for your dynasty to go extinct.
Currently there are two ‘features’ contained within the mod:
– matrilineal marriage has been disabled for realms with male-preference succession; I am not an expert but those kind of marriages seem to be rather uncommon at the games time period
– the second feature is addition of "Extraordinary Elective" succession law, you can activate it by decision if your heir is either not male, or not of your dynasty; its similar to "feudal elective" however only claimants and close/extended family may be elected, and you will revert to ‘ordinary’ succession once male child appears. It is supposed to represent periods of uncertainty that came with lack of clear heir, from gameplay perspective it counterweights the lack of matrilineal marriages, in many cases prevents weird succession that would be logicaly unacceptable for nobles of the realm, and I think it also adds a nice dynamic to the game, in general.
Quite a simple mod, but I feel it is rather impactful in affecting how one may play the game.
I also recommend playing with some mod that raises mortality, for more challenge; I’ve been recently playing with the "Dark Ages" mod, and having quite a blast, so I can recommend that one.
And be sure to let me know if there are some bugs, you find something weird, or have any suggestions in general.
