Rather infuriating due to lack of communication. It explicitly says in the wiki, not the game itself, that even if you have ONLY girls you are not allowed to choose between them. If you're a Nomad (usually Tengri) then succession isn't as important because Nomad succession is already powerful.Īlso, check these out for hidden reformation combos: Īnother thing I realized too late was that meritocracy does NOT allow you to choice girls if you have agnatic-cognatic like previous versions.
The open succession mode is one of the best succession types in my opinion. So you'll want to plan some kind of succession option, either by being Feudal before you reform or by picking Agnatic Clans or Enatic Clans for access to open succession. Something I found disappointing with meritocracy is that it doesn't override Gavelkind succession if you're still Tribal. Stuff that sounds good at first sometimes turns out to be not so great.
