Clan Splitting between sons

[Soulbourne]

Have a feeling it's partially for balance, but: Is there any reason why siblings who break off from the khanate when you inherit with part of your clan give you no direct claims or such? I just have normal CBs and an alliance due to family, which is primarily annoying due to the prestige hit from declaring a series of conquests-but neccesarily since it halves my max pop half the time which is bothersome for keeping the army fed.

I imagine this is done primarily so it's not simple to just invade and reclaim your siblings things in some sort of feud, not without losing a large amount of prestige and angering the clans with your brother slaying-but just thought I'd see if there was any reason for this method.

You've basically answered your own question -- the system is done for balance, and to simulate the breaking apart of large nomad realms when they have a lot of possible heirs (much like Genghis Khan's realm did).

Nomads already have lots of CB's available to them, even against other nomads -- and the prestige cost of attacking an ally would apply whether you had the claim or not, so the difference on that point is rather moot.
