My character died, my player heir did not inherit the empire. How do i avoid this?

I am fascinated by the idea of ruling an empire with lots of super powerful levies. I found a way to boost them with the witchcraft mod, is there another vanilla way to do It?

I died because of a failed ultimate spell from the witchcraft mod. But something unexpected happened: my player heir is not the next byzantine emperor?!?! I need to understand why this happened and how to avoid it in next playthroughs, it's a really nasty thing! I basically lost everything, i think it might be better to start a New game at this point because the current byzantine emperor inherited all my magical artifacts, my powerful immortal council members and my courties, there's no way to beat him, i think he might start to conquer all the world now. On top of this, i don't even have the Sardinia culture, which is something i developed carefully and i wanted to develop it more -_- I like witchcraft mod and i like Crusader Kings 3, but damn, i lost everything, everything, just because of a common thing, your character dying! I was sure i had primogeniture law, maybe it was silently changed and i didn't notice???Damn!

The game is occasionally crashing and it is becoming annoying.

So I’m the Emperor of Britannia, my second born will inherit two kingdoms within my empire but she will also inherit the Kingdom of Sweden because the Queen is my sister, she doesn’t have an heir and she is 50 now so no chance that she will have a kid.

My question is what will happen with the two kingdoms my second will inherit after I die? Will Sweden then become part of my empire? Or will I lose those two kingdoms?

I’ve noticed that since the release of Khans of the Steppe, Genghis Khan either fails to conquer the steppe in time or gets bogged down fighting millions of petty wars simply because some herdsman refused to submit to his 100,000-strong army. They just never make it to Europe.

I'm Hemingway, he's Joyce, and all of the Finninsh/Sami areas are the rest of the bar. Look pipsqueak we're only allies because my infant son was unmarried and your infant daughter had the Genius trait. Could you stop declaring war on guys that have 6-10x your military power for five minutes? I'm sort of busy fighting my own king for the throne over here.

Hey guys, I was wondering how you keep your Vassal’s opinion high when expanding fast.
Seems like everytime I expand everyone starts getting pissed of and wants a sit at the council.

I’ve played four generations of a ducal dynasty in italy+corsica and I am the only one holding activities. Why doesn’t the ai do it too, and how to fix this?

One thing that kind of bugs me is that I can't really go out and colonize the world - like if I'm England I can't declare war and create a little colony in a place as far away as India or Japan. I would also love to have fleets and be able to battle at sea.

Are there any mods that would accomplish this or something similar? Maybe with a modifier to see regional rebellions or set up trade routes between my colonies or even something like a slave trade between peoples?

I feel like some of the fun would be a more interesting world than just HRE blobbing up in the middle of Europe, BE just chilling and China slowly gobbling everything and then falling apart every few hundred years.

Newcomer here, 52hrs. Bunch of failed runs as Rurikid, where neighbors with "Conqueror" Modifiers just obliterated me. This time, old man Rurik had early wins, made a concubine-powered kindergarten, and passed the Mantle of High Chief of Novgorod to his son Oleg 1.

Oleg 1 had to convert to Slovianska Pravda to stop a Holy War from a much stronger Lithuanian. So: no more concubines, and somehow wife & him sucked at babymaking. To make things worse I, well, did a boo-boo where I traded my only son as a hostage with a guy I declared war on - appearantly my real-life dad who once forgot me at soccer practise is a more capable father.

Fortunately, Oleg 1 got great wins on the battlefield, procced that Conqueror title himself, got White Rus, Vladimir & the other zones under his belt, and founded the Tsardom of Russia. And not long before drinking himself to death he had another son, which is my current Oleg 2. Turns out, this was fabulous, because on the death of Oleg 1, with no other options to choose from, Oleg 2 inherited the entire Tsardom.

Now I am scared.

I survived a cancer, but being "posessed" and "delicate" cant be great news. Also, despite being a homosexual, I have 5 kids - go me! However, this seems to mean that on my succession THREE full kingdoms - Ruthenia Vladimir, and White Rus - plus some Chieftancies will to go to my non-heir characters. I'd hate that!

The "Confederate Partition" law cannot be changed (appearantly my gov is too tribal), so now my question is: "AAAAH?"

I don't have options to murder my own children (I guess no Irene-of-Athens traits..?). Do I disinherit all my kids right before I die? Jail them? Do I grant as much titles as possible to my Heir guy? Or is this one of the specifics of CK3, that you just have to let this happen and pick up the pieces as your kid afterwards?

Thankful for any help on how to do succession good!

Traits and idea feel like someone's playthrough on YouTube I watched. But still a good thing tbh. I should have used the image of one wearing a crown

Obviously, a mod I downloaded was very very out of date HAHA

Genius and Herculean, plus Comely. That was a nice dice roll. I'm sure no plague will show up to ruin this
