@amtemp i actually rechecked again this time it actually was fine, probably that error was due to some more random factor

@Riaman what is still going wrong with the split?

Rip it served while it lasted

@Zugidor, it looks like you're right, this is in the patch notes:
East Francia in 867 will now mostly split into de jure Bavaria and de jure East Francia on the death of Ludwig II, rather than a tiny Bavaria materializing between two giant slabs of East Francia

This mod is mostly outdated now, the only benefit is it keeps Ludwig's capital county as part of East Francia instead of Bavaria. It should keep working through future updates, but since its main purpose no longer relevant I will no longer be updating it unless something changes in the future.

Seems Paradox fixed this in the latest 1.6 update, thanks for this mod until now

I've learned a lot about event modding to make this work, but there's always a chance I missed something. If anyone finds any issues please feel free to chime in.

@PikaSamus, I do believe you do be smarter than I. I've implemented your suggestion; the inheritance change is now appended to the on_game_start action, so it's a one and done to make Ludwig the Younger the primary heir. If he dies it goes back to Karlmann.

Getting rid of the old method of setting the title preferences means that the mod should be universally compatible as well. @ryuken_doubleko, you shouldn't have an issue either any more.

I had 66 mods loaded and kept crashing after the pressing the "Play Any Ruler in 867" banner.

After removing one-at-a-time for testing, this mod ended up being the offender.

So, I will pair this one up with each of the other 65 (in both orders) to find the offending combination(s).

Suggestion: Instead of changing the landed titles to give priority to Bavaria, I think it would make more sense to set Louis the German's primary heir to his second son in an on_action at game start (using the effect set_designated_heir = character:42019). This would make it more compatible with other mods.

The requirement of owning CK3 is honestly a huge oversight. 10/10 mod.

@TombTheDwarf - Yes, it looks like that mod replaces the entire "landed_titles" file. This mod updates the "e_germany" title, so unfortunately they would be incompatible.

@TheLoneWanderer - Neither of those mods change the "landed_titles" file, so they should both be compatible. Also that Haesteinn elimination mod is antithetical to my stated goal of more border gore, so I'm not sure I can endorse that.

In general I'm playing with other ways to accomplish this mod without touching the landed_titles file, so watch this space (it may be a long watch).

@Zedbrah - would More Navigable Rivers be incompatible with this due to the map changes?

Do you know if this is compatible with Succession Expanded?

Thank you for a great mod!

@pogdavapore There is a mod that's only purpose is to eliminate Haesteinn. Burn Haesteinn or something like that

@Zedbrah It appears that after the update, there is an incompatibility between this mod and Ibn Battuta's Legacy 2. Using one or the other seems to be ok, but using both causes a crash immediately after attempting to select a character for a new game.

Not requesting/demanding a fix, just trying to provide troubleshooting info. Thanks for your work :)

Thank you for the fast update!

Updated for 1.5 Royal Court. This mod is thankfully much easier to update than some of the more extensive ones out there.

@pogdavapore I have exactly the same thing happening to me. And then the catholics revolt and you get an ugly and brightly coloured revolter kingdom and a GIANT border gore mess.

This is awesome and made Germany way better. U should do some for Italy and Lotharingia.

In EVERY SINGLE GAME Ludwig the German get invaded by Hatesting (dunno spelling) of Montaigu, except when i plot to kill him

@microsausage
@mar4uder

Hmm, not getting that on my end with just this mod enabled from the workshop.

Do you have any other mods enabled? If you upload your crash log somewhere and link it here I can take a look.

Start Game. Choose Scenario. Pick Ruler. Click. CDT.

Causes CDT at startup for me

@Viranto I think that's because (assuming this is planted in vanilla and not likely changed by many mods) the AI requires a certain amount of available stored prestige (a huge amount like 4,000 or something) to form an empire

Sadly the ai is still to stupid to form the hre. But this mod here makes the first startdate more playable

We need a mod to give us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Meerssen

Hmm, good point.

I've added a check for if Karlmann (eldest son) or Arnulf (grandson) are alive, and to revert to East Francia if they are both dead before Ludwig. That should help in cases where Ludwig lives longer than expected.

Ludwig's oldest son died before inheritance. Mod did not fix border gore 0/10 lost all hope and unsubscribed.

Thank you! Such a sense of realistic humor too! You should get an award along with the "imaginary internet points"! ;-)

thanks for the update and the description is gold :D

Updated to 1.4.2.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying this mod, it was fun to write the description.

yo, can you update the mod to 1.4.2?

But after all, in history, everything was approximately the same, just Carloman and Ludwig the Younger "suddenly" died and everything came to a digestible form. It's a shame in the game it really leads to chaos

@vaemora
scroll up, and youll see this

"Crusader Kings III> Workshop > The Eighth Dwarf's Workshop

East Francia Inheritance Fix **** 122 ratings"

click "The Eighth Dwarf's Workshop"

I like how it in its unmodded state as it reflects how stupid the Carolingians were about inheritance. But between your taking your time to make a mod for the community that you yourself won't be using out of the kindness of your heart and the awesome description of the mod that made my day you sir have a like and some rewards from me! Keep being AWESOMErs!

That description broke me

you should make your profile public for the sole reason people want to see what other mods you have made, but cannot, because you got your stuff private.

The joy that gave me.... to read your thorough explanation. if i had been taking a drink at a couple parts of that i would have spit it out laughing. well made mod as well.

Gave a like just for "The Why" section.

Oh my god that was so annoying thank you.

Thanks. I just had the thing up and made Ludwig uninherit his a$$ and give him bavaria or sometimes for fun I'd make him rebel for the title he basically already possessed. Which would usually lead to both their deaths and the younger guy cause he is Ludwigs meatbag I mean.. Knight... Fun times.

FINALLY!!!! I can play 867 without having to replace the Karlings with the ruler designer every time! Thank you!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

DELET THIS

Damn, can't believe there's a sinister cabal of people who are opposed to the collapse of Central Europe into warring counties and princedoms.

Thanks for uploading this mod! No more nukes going off in the top half of Germany

Down with the border gore! Great mod :D

We hate border gore
