If a ruler dies without any living descendants, their titles will go to their oldest sibling.If a ruler has non-dynastic children thanks to marrying into a non-dynastic family, their titles will go to those children unless they can also produce a dynastic heir.In a Preference system, a ruler with no children of the right gender will divide their titles between children of the wrong gender according to the succession law.However, there are ways to take advantage of them. Inheritance also follows a few rules that players can't change with succession laws. This method is only available to cultures with Goidelic or Brythonic Heritage (Breton, Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Gaelic, and Cumbrian, plus any new cultures that arise from them). Candidates include any member of the ruler's dynasty, and voters tend to prefer distant, older relatives unless they really like the current ruler. This includes barons in ducal elections, but not for higher titles. The ruler and all de jure vassals can vote. Scandinavian Elective is only available to cultures with the Ting-Meet Tradition. Each elector gets more voting weight based on their counties' Development level and Popular Opinion. Candidates are anyone in the ruler's close or extended family and all title claimants. The ruler and all de jure vassals above barons can vote. Saxon Elective is only available to cultures with the Witenagemot Tradition. Candidates are the ruler's legitimate children, title claimants, and the single most powerful voting vassal. The ruler and adult de jure vassals of up to two ranks below can vote. Candidates are the emperor's legitimate children or siblings and the five major vassals. The emperor and seven specific vassals get to vote for the next emperor, assuming they're all Christian. This option is exclusive to the Holy Roman Empire. Candidates include the ruler's close family and voting vassals. The ruler and all de jure vassals of two ranks below (barons and counts for a duchy, counts and dukes for a kingdom, dukes and kings for an empire) get to vote for their new ruler. These can include gender laws and election laws that include the following: On top of all this, duchy and higher titles can have special laws attached to their succession status. It's a full reversal of the Male Only gender law. This is only available to Female Dominated Faiths and Matriarchal Cultures, and to governments with Crown Authority 3. It works like Male Preference but with the genders reversed. Along with the Equal Doctrine, this option is available to Faiths with the Female Dominated Doctrine or Cultures with the Matriarchal Tradition. Men and women are considered equally for inheritance, both can be granted titles, and both can have concubines or spouses. This option is only available to Faiths and Cultures with the Equal Doctrine or Equal Inheritance Tradition. Men can have concubines or multiple spouses. Women can be granted titles only if they hold at least one already. All titles will go to male heirs, and only go to female heirs if no valid male heirs are available. The government must also have Crown Authority 3. Only male heirs can inherit or be granted titles, and men can have concubines or extra spouses depending on their Faith and Culture. All the ruler's titles go to the oldest member of the ruler's House, no matter how remotely they're related. This law unlocks along with High Partition. The last-born child of the correct gender will receive all the current ruler's titles. ![]() This one also unlocks with Primogeniture and Crown Authority 3. The firstborn child of the correct gender will receive all the current ruler's titles. A Culture must have the Primogeniture Innovation, and the government must have at least Crown Authority 3 (High). This works like regular Partition, but the primary heir will always receive at least half of the ruler's titles. A Culture must have the Heraldry Innovation to unlock this succession law. This is useful for keeping expansive kingdoms or empires together. This works identically to Confederate Partition, but it won't create any new titles when the current ruler dies. A Culture must have the Hereditary Rule Innovation to unlock this succession law, and the government must be feudal or clan with at least Crown Authority 2 (Limited). If the children would inherit an unequal number of titles, Confederate Partition will favor the older children. If the ruler could create a duchy, kingdom, or empire title through their holdings and vassals but hasn't, the game will create these titles and hand them out equally. All children of the right gender inherit the ruler's titles equally. Every realm starts with this succession law in the 867 start.
