Weighted primogeniture help!

[ibrahim100]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new succession type that is basically a more flexible primogeniture: characters vote on the heir, but greatly favour the one that would be heir under primogeniture. In order for that to work, I need to use the would_be_heir_under_primogeniture command. However, I cant' seem to make it work!

    candidate_vote_score = {
        days = 0
        additive_modifier = {
            value = 30
            FROMFROM = { would_be_heir_under_law = { who = FROM law = primogeniture } }
        }    
}

Electors simply ignore this. It doesn't appear as a reason for their vote.
Could someone help me out? Thanks

I don't have too much experience with this kind of thing, but you may be able to do something like this

candidate_vote_score = {
       days = 0
        additive_modifier = {
            value = 30
            FROMFROM = {
                           NOT = {
                                     any_sibling = { is_older_than = FROMFROM }
                           }
                  }
        }
}

I'm not sure if I used the correct scope in the "is_older_than" part, but if I'm correct, this should make it so if the candidate doesn't have any older siblings, it gives them more vote score.

That could work when the candidate is son of the ruler. If we added the brothers of the ruler as well it would cover 90% of the cases. However, when the heir would be a distant cousin things get more complicated :/

I'll test some things out later with your recommendation in mind. Thanks!
