DESCRIPTION
Introduces a selelction of new elective succession laws: Imperial Elective, Mongolic Succession, Royal Elective, Mahestan Elective, Outremer Elective, and Eldership Elective.

Modifies the existing elective laws by allowing them to carry over to newly founded titles, applies them to historically appropriate duchy titles, and fixes a series of vanilla bugs.
Incorporates the Salic Law Mod and applies Male Only succession to the appropriate cultures and titles at game start.

Modifies Restore the Carolingian Borders and Restore the Holy Roman Empire decisions to match with our new historical changes.

Adds a "Historical" game rule which activates a series of events representing the division of Louis the German's territory between his sons. The game will simulate the succession of his sons to their appropriate kingdoms and assign elective laws around the appropriate dates when certain conditions are met.

Imperial Elective

Drawing on the elaborate legal inheritance laws of the Eastern Romans, the Imperial Elective is a special succession type available only to the Byzantine Empire and the Roman Empire titles. Emperors may assign their heir as a Despot in order to boost their candidate score, thus further securing their succession to the throne.

Mongolic (Kurultai) Elective
Mongolic Elective, based on the historical Kurultai, is open to Kingdom and Empire tier titles if you are a member of the Mongolic or Turkish culture groups.

Royal Elective
Based loosely on the Inheritance systems of medieval kingdoms such as Poland, Hungary, and Aragon. This law centralizes inheritance within the family at the cost of vassal opinion.

Mahestan Elective
For those who enjoy the challenge of restoring Zoroastrian rule to Persia, this is the succession type for you. Only usable by characters who are both Zoroastrian and of the Persian culture group, this succession aims to represent the ancient successive practice of the Sassanid Empire. The Mahestan will value closeness to the current shah, piety, and good virtues.

Outremer Elective
Outremer Elective is based on the crusader concept of Proximity by Blood and the notion of the King being the first among equals. Unique to Outremer culture.

Eldership
Representing the role tribal elders played in the role of leadership, Eldership is accessible and applied on game start to the Vidilist Baltic states and West African rulers. Elders are based on age and high learning skill.

Feudal Elective Additions
An additional features added to Feudal Elective is the addition of Co-Kingship. Taking this major decision simulates the consolidation of power by the French kings and their appointment of Co-Kings to secure succession. The decision stabilizes your succession but comes at a cost. It able to be used when Hereditary Rule is research in the tech list.

What mods are incompatible with this one?
Succession Expanded was made with compatibility in mind. Mods that add new governments to the same titles or cultures affected by this mod will be incompatible and require a compatch.

Is it save-game compatible?
No. The proper title laws will not be assigned and historical events will not fire unless a new game is started.
