Hey guys, I was going to post a thread sorta like this, but why when there's this one right here.
The single complaint I have about the two later campaigns is the succession of the Iron Throne. Baratheon blood dates back to Orys so Robert was imo the best claimant to the throne at the time, but I've been playing countless games where Shireen dies one way or another and Daeny's "Empress of Ghiscar" all of a sudden inherits the Iron Throne, now Westros is the Ghiscar empire, because for some odd reason, Daeny's keeps the Ghiscar Empire title over the Iron Throne Empire title. Honestly it would seem more likely that a "Power Vacuum" is left after Shireen's death, kinda like your event when playing as the North "Robb", once you defeat the throne, you can choose to give the throne to Stannis, Renly, or Leave a "power vacuum". That would force Daeny's to claim the throne and take it by force, rather than just inheriting it all automatically.

Just some food for thought, I'd love to talk about this a bit and hear what you think. Curious to see another reason behind the auto inherit.
 
Is unrealistic in real world because after death of last king should becames interregnum and several years of chaos. But it's a game engine and CK2 not EU4.

Its things this why I've wanted some form of interregnum system in ckii. Even in vanilla, I've always found it weird that if you kill off every claimate to a title, the title is granted to a random de jure lord instead of being destroyed and/or civil war for the crown. Things Paradox need to add.
