How junior partner inheritance really works(Hint: it is not a dice roll)

[Johan]

ha! That is odd and interesting. Clearly the goal was to generate a random number, which really makes me wonder why they didn’t just generate a random number.

you also want to know the result consistently over time.

int CCountry::CalcMonarchDeathOutcome() const
{
    int nOutcome = GetCurrentMonarch()->GetID().GetID() + _Tag.GetIndex() + CCurrentGameState::AccessInstance()->GetCurrentDate().GetYear();

    if ( _pCurrentHeir->IsValid() )
    {
        nOutcome += _pCurrentHeir->GetID().GetID();
    }

    if ( CCurrentGameState::AccessInstance()->AccessEmpire().GetElectors().GetSize() > 0 )
    {
        nOutcome += CCurrentGameState::AccessInstance()->AccessEmpire().GetEmperor().GetCountry().GetCurrentMonarch()->GetID().GetID();
    }

    const CPapacy* pPapacy = _pReligion->GetPapacy();
    if ( pPapacy )
    {
        nOutcome += pPapacy->GetInstanceData().GetCuriaController().GetIndex();
    }

    nOutcome += _OwnedProvinces.GetSize();
    nOutcome += _nCapital;

    for ( auto pRuler : _PreviousMonarchs )
    {
        nOutcome += pRuler->GetID().GetID();
    }

    nOutcome = nOutcome % 100;

    return nOutcome;
