    Default Faction heirs in SS

    Could someone explain me how exactly the faction heir selection and bloodlines work in this mod, ie. how the faction leader succession differs from vanilla? I couldn't find it documented anywhere and guessing how things might be is not the best way to get into the mod..

    (As a related note a proper, more detailed documentation on "what's new" would be very welcome for such a thorough mod as SS)

    I think the heir selection system is the same as vanilla, as it's hardcoded. However, BBB introduces the 'Biological Son' and 'Heir Apparent/Presumptive' to catalog which characters are of true blood, as it were.

    Yes I've seen that, but do they actually effect the heir selection somehow or are they just cosmetics?

    Just make sure your Prince doesn't adopt someone older than his oldest son

    That only matters if your King dies before you Prince's son comes of age. If they are of age when the Prince ascends to the throne, they become Prince as they should.

    In data/descr_campaign_db, lower the age of manhood considerably while increasing the old age (this is found in the family tree section). It will help you maintain the bloodline.

    I find it rather difficult to keep my royal blood line clean. Should I reject all Adopted Sons & Man of the Hour generals? They tend to go directly "under" the prince, so once he gets the crown, oldest guy under him is the Heir, even when I have multiple adult biological sons ("Of English/German/whatever Blood"). This usually means that some bastard from the ranks, who prove himself on the battlefield, becomes the King, and true prince of royal blood becomes noone.
    Is this how it should work in SS/BBB?

    If your prince adopts someone before he has a son (of age or not) that person will become the next in line for the crown. Hence, never have your prince adopt someone if:

    A. He has no current children
    B. He has no children of age/a turn or two away and you expect your current King to die soon

    Those are the rules I generally follow, and if something gets messed up I wait until the rightful heir is of age and then kill off the current one.
