Yet another question about who you control (new though, i promise)

[unmerged(8642)]

OK, sorry if this has been answered but i just thought of this.

Ok, you start as a monarch, or duke or whatever and say you have two titles, or that as you play the game you acquire several titles, and various demense lands. Then you have 2 powerful sons which if you choose one over the other civil war could break out and if you choose the wrong one your game could end, or leave you with very little land. So you decide to split the lands and/or titles. (This could apply to 3 sons as well, etc.)

Which do you control???????


My guess/suggestion would be that you make the one you want to control your heir to the lands and titles you want to keep and then offer the other the various titles and lands. Anyone see any problems with this? Ways it could work better?

Sounds about right.

No matter which son inherits the throne the demesne lands will go to him along with the holdings he already has. But he had better bestow at least some of those lands on another vassal lest the new monarch be over the 30% limit.

But still no official word on exactly who is directly controlable.

This happened in Viking Rus, the sons divied their lands among each generation until the state was so weak the mongols just marched right in.

Well it happened early in the time period of CK in spain as well, but eventually (like everywhere else) consolidation occured. Wonder how this will happen, there's already been one discussion about increasing percentage of demense lands you can keep, wonder whats next?
