I'm currently playing as this guy granddaughter so he long since died, but I'm still curious on how exactly this happen. He fell into a coma when he was fighting in a battle as a prince. Later during a war with a Great Khagan, his father died and he became the new King. Shortly after Great Khagan war, he got the event to become a Conqueror. I was under the impression that you can't get the event if your character is incapable. Also, for the record the only mod I have is the "Clear Artifact Level mod".

Short Answer: Missing Triggers & Checks.

But this should be cleared by the Game automatically, because incapable Conquerors, will trigger the Event, which takes the Conqueror away from them, unless of course the Event, which takes the Conqueror Trait away, only triggers, when the Conqueror, becomes incapable and it does not trigger when they have had already the incapable Trait, but then it is another Bug.

Do you know how is it coded for the event to fire?

I did a test with the landless decision and your character gets a flag, I can't recall exactly but it's like took_become_conqueror_decision then when your war it's done few days later the character gets the event. So I took the decision, captured the leader and added incapable to my character. Few days later I got the event. That makes me believe the checks are done before you get the flag not when the event fires.

So in this case my assumption is, the previous character rolled the conqueror and that's when the check was done and got their flag, maybe is_conqueror or whatever flag is. A pulse later will fire the event that actually gives the trait. However the previous character got wardec which prevents the event to fire and died with the flag. The flag got inherited like the trait it's inheritable and when the war was finally over a pulse fired the event because of the flag.

A pulse like if is_conqueror and has_trait conqueror = no, run event conqueror,001. It wasnt blocked because probably the normal inheritance of the trait would check if the father has trait conqueror, do the check to see if the heir can inherit. because the father didnt have the trait only the flag it skipped the check.
