This was a very informative read and I strongly hope the developers take its suggestions into account, specially the ones he (very helpfully!) labeled as "Easy".
The idea of sucession involving a period where the realm is under a regent before the election/coronation formally transfers power (with the possibility of political plays and coups changing the outcome of sucession) is an excellent idea and is something I always thought should be in the base game.

Great suggestions. I really regret reading it because now I'll be even more upset when the dlc releases considering that Devs won't go around implementing them, probably won't even read it.

I wonder if we would have to wait until CK4 to have - on release - qurultais, parliaments, cortes, and the Roman senates.
But then, neither the medieval magnates of old Rome nor the senators of New Rome acted like their senate was a parliament.

This is wrong.There are plenty of instances where the Senate did act like this,like refusing to ratify Andronikos I Komnenos proscription list or Alexios III Alamanikon tax.Also they elected Kanabos as emperor during the 1204 events.Adding the acclamation of Anastasius too.

I did think it was super odd that Kurultai was your council, I was wondering if I should make a thread on it. Kurultai AFAIK basically is just a great gathering, and should be an event, not a council. The core idea of "you need your vassals support to secure your reign" is accurate but this should not be tied to your council but to members of your clan and vassals, and there should be an event upon your death that every character(of note) in your realm must attend. Failure to attend leads to your realm breaking up, some other claimant being raised instead, what have you. Plus presumably other coronation type things where you dish out titles, positions, and duties amongst the powerful nobles. Having it just be your "Kurultai Council" doesnt seem to reflect any historical things I have come across. The importance of Kurultai was what lead to many campaigns seemingly miraculously(for outsiders) ending as the Mongols retreated to Karakorum to set the agenda for the empire/support their preferred claimants for the coming years. Having it just be "Your Kurultai" is odd, at least as far as I am understanding it.

I feel like there are harder lines between sovereign and parliament that the sovereign could not just push through just b/c he felt secure enough in his power. While Roman Emperors, when they felt secure or necessary, could force down things the senate didn't like - such as Alexios Komnenos seizing land from senators en masse to fund his wars. I can't imagine Kings of England pulling this off and still reign for three decades.
