@MrFunEGUY i'm actually pretty new. like I barely managed to find the edicts tab, or I think its the edicts? but theres nothing on the page? what is the button for edicts or where is it? I'm also using the UI mod so maybe its diff?

@Heavy - If the edict is not there, something is broken. Idk how that would happen. Stellaris evolved would not break it. Dynasty name shit has been deprecated I believe, it's too finicky

no summon heir in edicts. I'm using stelaris evolved mod too btw

Thanks. I thought I looked all over, Also 1 more question. I read some older comments talking about how the heir doesnt retain the dynasty name? But the default chosen heirs retain the name? So say my first heir I choose, then the second heir I let the system choose will this 2nd heir have the old dynasty name? Or is this just all some old bug that got fixed already?

You can see it in the Screenshots on the top of this Page, go into Edicts and click summon Heir.

How do you use this mod? where do I go to select the heir?

Amazing! Thank you! Really adds more RP options for my imperial playthroughs

Thanks for the trait change, makes the imperial heirs way more useful.

@razgriz821 - I have changed it so that now they can get non-council traits when they are not on the council.

i would like to specifiy, this is for imperial heirs, where their that specific trait blocks "non council traits" from being given to the heirs, so they would only get traits that activate when theyre in the council and not when theyre leading armies and fleets. is it possible to bypass it so that traits like supreme warrior can be added to the imperial heir?

Hmm, not sure. Could you explain the problem a little more?

anyway to make the heir have non council traits? i want my heir to lead as a commander but all the traits are council exclusive

Just compatibility stuff

what was the update?

It's just not a big enough bug for me to want to create a new leader class, especially when I think that it'll eventually be fixed by paradox. New leader classes can be so annoying and a lot of other ways that are more hidden.

Correction, the heir *following* an appointed heir does not receive the dynasty name. The originally appointed heir does receive the dynastic name.

Hey, I think I figured out a solution to the hidden leader bug. From my testing, setting a leader to hidden DOES remove them from the Leaders menu, but if they can be assigned somewhere then they will still be visible.

I solved this by creating an entirely new leader class, using Envoys as the template and changing any potential assignment tasks to "no". Then I changed the class of the hidden dynasty-named leader to the brand new leader class, and I can no longer see them in game. Basic testing showed that succession still works properly, although an appointed heir does not seem to adopt the dynasty name despite my saying to do so. Hope this helps!

Is there a way to tell Ai not to Abdicate their Rulers?

Like if i have a mod that increases a Leaders Lifetime to like 10K i would like to see that the Ai keeps them for much longer or just don't abdicate them at all.

It is probably kinda possible, but would be a bit hacky.

what do you mean by that?

Kinda in a way maybe

I have a quick question-Would it be possible to make a mod where your ruler, if they are a military one and your government is dictatorial or imperial, could serve as an admiral/general?

@mad-rocky - Yes, I use that leader for something. They are supposed to be hidden, but a bug in 3.12 makes them visible. Hopefully it is fixed in the next patch.

When starting a new game (3.12) with this mod, and I made sure to test with all other mods disabled, there is a duplicate of the ruler as official (regardless of the actual ruler role) that is not listed in the leader pool, but can be selected as a planet governeur. It has only a last name, no first name, but its the same last name of the ruler.
Can be used as a planet governeur, but when leveling up one must go to the planet and select the new trait from there.
Once this duplicate exist it seems using the mods options does not seem to affect it.
Not game breaking but not pretty either. :)

Sounds more like a duplicated leader, not a duplicated position. Regardless, not sure how this mod would cause it. I think I've removed all cloning stuff. If anyone else reports something similar, I'll look into it.

is it possible that this mod is causing duplicated council positions? my leader died, and now both my heirs previous council position and the leader position are occupied by him

Updated.

I imagine this mod still works fine.

is it working?

Thanks.

The load order does not matter, it will use its mechanics. If I dont explicitly state a load order for my mods, load order does not matter.

@MrFunEGUY

Question for the author: Should this mod come after Civil Wars, so that it can use its mechanics?

Thanks.

I think so.

Can this be added midgame?

Should be fixed.

This mod is causing me a bug that is causing all scientists, for some reason, to count as if they were on the council, which is why I can't explore the rift

Ok, this is now properly updated for 3.9. Switching your heir's leader class works again, and most bugs that I know of have been fixed.

Ill look into that, thanks for the report.

I noticed when an imperial ruler abdicates and remains as a leader that they get the "imperial heir" trait, but does not actually become an heir. It seems like this prevents a new heir from being spawned in by the game. I don't know if this is an oversight on my part or if it is a bug. If its a bug, I might recommend seeing if there's any way to replace the "Imperial Heir" trait with "Retired [Rule Title]" or just "Retired Ruler", which prevents unity upkeep similar to the "Imperial Heir" trait.

Of course, I may be doing something wrong, I didn't play with the retired ruler for too long out of fear it would break the game so I dismissed them and immediately an heir spawned (which is why I am suspicious of it being a bug).

Nah, no real benefit.

so is the multiple heir coming or not?

This mod is amazing, but, How can I change the kind of leader my heir is and how can I choose my heir? within the game, I have not seen what option it is yet

So, this appears to be a vanilla glitch where a cloned leader will not switch classes correctly. It will be fixed whenever Paradox fixes the bug.

only one leader appears to hire with the same name as the heir, but the heir continues with the same professional

I can't change the profession of the heir

In Vanilla its just set so that they can only be between some certain ages. Yeah, this mod does change them a bit more than I had realized.

Also abdication isn't in vanilla I think. And the way the age for generated heirs is calculated is different, which can cause some issues.

So this mod has been updated for 3.8. It was still useful because you still may want to change your heir or their profession. The Adoptive Dynasties civics has been slightly changed. As with all new Civics (if you have the Paragons DLC), there is now an associated Councilor position. This Councilor position can only be used by the heir, and provides them with 5% exp gain per level and 1 Empire-wide stability per level. With this change, the base stability of Adoptive Dynasties has been lowered to 5. However, this means with a max level heir on your council, you can now have up to +15 stability. Check out the new picture.

Yeah that was actually brought up in the discord. Definitely something I could do, a line of succession.
