Yeah, I wanted to meddle with the exact type of succession. It'd be fun to see true (absolute) Primogeniture, Ultimogeniture, Elective Succession and even a gender-equal Rota/Seniority system.

Oh well. Perhaps if the next expansion to EU3 has a dynasty system much like Rome's, we'll be able to tamper with the succession rules.
 
Yeah, that would be nice for sure. Not that I've heard of any ancient civilisations practising ultimogeniture, but still. :p
Coming to think of it, it's a real pity we can't mod succession. I'd like to see succession to generals.
 
Could it be done by, either:

1) From the on_actions file use the on_monarchy_ruler_change to trigger an event which will put in place your Religious Magistrate; or

2) If you are using terms of office, have an event fire a few days before the election which puts in place the new ruler
 
1. Not sure, but I doubt it. Rulers can be replaced by events.

2. There is an on_action for republics as well, so this must work:

Code:
# Country. Just after a new ruler has taken over in republics
on_republic_ruler_change = {
#	20 = 542 # Wealthier Character decides to bribe his way to victory

	30 = 543 # Rival Army commander gets pissed off and goes for the jackpot
	70 = 0
}
