Is there any where you can see who is next in line of succession after your primary heir?

EDIt: Nevermind

Can you? I dont think it is possible (unless you mean the pretenders screen, which I think is something else.

[Solmyr]

You can, mouse over your nation CoA (anywhere you can see it, such as in your ruler's character screen). Or check in the laws screen. Both show two successors following your primary heir.

Anyway, I tried to start with the good old Apulia. Robert Guiscard was pretty successful, having whupped the Sicilian mooselimbs and withstood attacks from the North Africans, with the help of his Hungarian allies as well as a Byzantine doomstack, allied after he married one of his nieces to the Emperor's brother. Unfortunately, I changed succession to primogeniture and legitimized Bohemond, which may have been a mistake. After Robert died at the ripe old age of 80, Bohemond had to mollify some of his unhappy vassals, and his stewardship sucks so he has no money or levies, and no allies. And then all the North African bitches dowed me. I'm honestly not sure if I'll survive this. Maybe offering fealty to the Byzanteens could help (starting to feel like the real Bohemond here).

No no no.. medieval Kings, much like dwarves, reproduce long distance via spores.

[Martinus]

Solmyr, that's not what I meant. It shows *your* alternative heirs if your primary heir dies before he can inherit. It doesn't show who will inherit after him.

[Faeelin]

Well, I suck at this game. I can't get a game without all of my vassals rising up and hating me, destroying whatever realm I have occupied.

[Tamas]

I wonder how these changes will affect the Mongol Hordes (tm).

Well......

The Il Khanate started out rather timid, which had me worried but they now occupy the Seljuk space like they usually do.

The Golden Horde swallowed the Rus and the Cumans without blinking, then came after my Hungary (before garbon gets all over this, of course I was going to test my mod with a country I played through already). I had to surrender, then when my later rebellion was also crushed, the AI did not fuck around and strip me of my ranks so I ended up with the splinter kingdom I created in Morocco. Except that almost-Spain muslim Sevilla just came and raped the everloving shit out of me right after I was completely depleted due to a just ended civil war.

[The Brain]

I like how my baroness demanded Prima Noctae (sp) rights. A few years later I checked up on her and she had syphilis.

[Liep]

I've had a 4 year old baroness demand Prima Noctae. I thought it was only right to imprison her regent.

[Tamas]

Also, the levy modding thing hasnt really changed much in terms of map setup. Muslim rebel states seem to fare unusually well, and Byzantium hasn't expanded, but nothing else.

So I guess I will abandon this for now, except for banning the HRE from going away from elective, because I think it can be made ridicoulously easy. Gonna' see if I can live with the default levy replenishment rate, and if not try a more meager decrease of it next time.

[Viking]

I squashed the Golden Horde as the Rus when it popped up. Yes, 80k of the most powerful psychotic mongols out there with my toltal levy as the Rus of 55k. 3 full mobilisations and 1000 ducats worth of mercenaries later we settled on a white peace with the golden horde only with 20k free psychopaths still standing.

A fully prepared well moneyed up Rus can squash the mongols when they pop up. Though, I did have to "lose" a few wars in the west to get rid of the mongols.

Why do you keep on living after being killed by the boar?

[Viking]

Why do you keep on living after being killed by the boar?

Your wife cuckolded you while your brothers both revolted; despite even teenage girls seeing that you are not legitimate you continue as your cuckold while you should have continued as your brother the lobster.

mmm... lobsters with onion broiled in a green flame....
