268) BUG: Inheritance traced through females in salic consanguinity

Inheritance traced through females in salic consanguinity

My king just lost his only living legitimate son, leaving me with bastards and daughters. That's when I really took notice that everything wasn't as it should be with my inheritors - the box was dominated by germans! I had married off my daughter with a von Lippe, and they had spawned a pool of endowed children. Hardly to my own benefit I realised, as they had pushed my favored heir to the shadows.

I'm pretty sure salic meant I shouldn't have to deal with these kind of problems?

 

[Totmes III]

Are there any living male relatives, who are not bastards? Perhaps inheritance is traced through females if all legtitimate male lines have died out?

 

[Araanor]

There are living male relatives of my dynasty, they're as far away as second cousins or something of that sort but they show up in the inheritance box, at the end.

But that's beside the point, if I've understood this correctly (at least, it's the way it works in salic primogeniture), salic means inheritance won't be traced through females no matter the circumstances. Look at Provence, with salic laws and since the ruler's just got a daughter he's got noone to inherit so he'll be replaced by some randomly generated person.

How is this situation different from all the cases when salic inheritance works just fine? Without extra information nothing can be done.

 

[Araanor]

Salic primogeniture means inheritance will -only- be traced to others of your own dynasty. This is WAD, I assume.

In my game with salic consanguinity, inheritance is traced to von Lippes, clearly not of my dynasty.

So I ask, should not salic work the same with the different inheritance laws? If inheritance can be traced on the female side in salic consanguinity, I do not see what makes it different to semi-salic consanguinity.

 

[Grosshaus]

But how is this situation different from all the other situations where salic traces inheritance through sons only?

 

[Araanor]

Inheritance is traced through my daughter. What more do you want?

 

[Grosshaus]

Inheritance is traced through my daughter. What more do you want?

I do know that, but why? In most cases with the same law inheritance isn't traced through your daughter. Nobody can fix the problem unless it's reproducable, so more detailed clarification of the situtation is needed. Perhaps there's something special going on with the siblings or cousins of the ruler, or his heirs. Does your ruler have brothers or should he be inherited by his cousins?

If you simply have ran out of male heirs then I'm pretty certain this is WAD, somebody has to inherit a guy who dies without heirs. You mentioned a favoured heir, how could you have a heir if you also mentioned your only heir had died?

 

[Araanor]

I had no legitimate sons left.
I had legitimate inheritors of my own dynasty, cousins or somesuch. They were in the inheritance box. At the farther end. They were second in line for inheritance after the germans.
In salic primogeniture, inheritance is never traced through females, irregardless of the circumstances. If a ruler is without legitimate male relatives, he will be replaced by a randomly generated person at his death. I gave Provence as an example to see this in action.
I had married my daughter to a german. They produced sons of the german's dynasty. The sons came up first for inheritance in the inheritance box. In salic primogeniture, this would not have happened.
