Last Will

Description
Plan your last will to leave your titles to your preferred heirs.

Includes a abdicate mechanism to pass your realm to your heirs, while you continue as your current character as a vassal to your heir or independent or a landless adventurer.


Become a Landless Adventurer on abdication
Requires Roads to Power DLC
You can become a landless adventurer when you abdicate.


Gain independence on abdication
As of version 1.2.0 you can now choose to either remain a vassal of your heir when you abdicate, or gain independence to forge a new realm.


ABOUT
Allows you to plan how to carve up your realm on abdication or death, leaving all titles to your primary heir or leaving selected titles to multiple heirs of your family, dynasty, bastards, lovers, friends, or anyone you choose to.

Do you ever get tired of running your uber empire, longing to play as a simple lowly Count or Duke again?
Well now you can, simply setup a Last Will to retain selected titles from your realm and then abdicate to your heirs. Leave the empire to them while you sit in a quiet County or Duchy in the realm doing whatever you please as you watch them gamble away the empire you worked so hard to create!

Do you want to leave some land to your beloved soulmate, even though they never left their spouse for you?
Do you want to leave some land to their child, the one their stupid spouse never knew was yours?
Well now you can, even though your children won't like it, but you'll be in the ground so do you really care.


HOWTO
Last Will Succession uses a combination of realm laws and title elective laws to bequeath land to your preferred heirs.

It also uses a bespoke abdication title grant mechanism to allow you to retain titles after abdication, which includes both the Last Will Succession mod's own abdication command and being deposed by CK3 Casus belli.

Your primary heir will inherit all your titles as per Primogeniture.

Your heir will not inherit the LW law, they will have to enact that themselves each time they inherit the realm.

You cannot bequeath your primary title or it's hierarchy to any heir.

Last Will Succession is fully integrated in to the realm window, correctly showing the number of titles lost on succession and who they will be inherited by.

See the screenshots for details how to use all of the components.


NOTE
The title history will say the preferred heirs inherited their titles via abdication instead of the death of the previous holder, and unfortunately due to the lack of title history manipulation facilities in script there is nothing I can do about that.


COMPATIBILITY
Not compatible with any mod that modifies 00_succession_laws.txt or window_my_realm.gui

SAVE GAME safe to add to existing games, and if removed will revert to default vanilla laws but will not remove any variables from your character, title, etc but they should not be a problem. Also will not remove any claims to titles given under last will, but they are weak claims so will not be inherited by their holders children.

I will not write any compatches for other mods, so please don't ask.

@Lost Nomad thank you for the explanation, I was able to correctly set it to 100 cost.

@peequi
The line should be prestige = 100 if you want the interaction to cost 100 prestige.

@Lost Nomad
Thank you. I changed the line to this

pass_cost = {
100 prestige = change_title_succession_law_prestige_cost
}

So I added the "100". In game, the cost is actually zero, so maybe I placed the "100" in the wrong spot, but I don't mind. I just wanted to mention it for anyone else who runs into this post.

I believe the AI can't use this mod, so changing the value shouldn't offset the balance of the game. I personally am going to still split the realm, I just want to be able to pick which title goes to who.

@peequi
Should be line 35 in common/laws/LWXXX_title_succession_laws.txt
peequi 17 Aug @ 10:30am 
Can someone please show which file and line to edit, to change the cost of "Last Will Behest". I would like to make it cheaper so that we can divide up all the domains.

Sorry for the late reply, I forgot to check back in. I have no pre-succession savegame anymore, but I got around the problem by removing every "Last Will Behest" and then abdicating. If the problem comes up again in the next round of succession, I'll make sure to keep the savegames.

Thanks for the reply!

@Luke
Have you added or removed any mods between the two successions?

That's going to be very hard to test. I use the mod all the time and have never had any problems nor has anyone else reported any problems.

Do you happen to have a savegame directly before the second succession that you could send me?

I don't know any way I could test the problem without your save.

The line of succession through the mod seems to be ignored by the game.

Succession is displayed as:
Kingdom of Lotharingia - Son 1
Duchy of Jülich - Son 1
Duchy of Upper Lotharingia - Son 1
Duchy of Luxemburg - Son 2 (through last will)

How titles were actually inherited upon my death:
Kingdom of Lotharingia - Son 1
Duchy of Jülich - Son 1
Duchy of Upper Lotharingia - Son 2
Duchy of Luxemburg - Son 3

In the generation before that, inheritance through the mod worked as planned.

That's possible, I meant to do a test on admin because there's a couple of things that suggest it's a no no but I never got around to doing so due to constant game updates and rl commitments.

I don't play admin, it just doesn't feel good to me, so I'll have to find time to test it and if my previous suspicions prove true then I'll have to disable the last will aspects as an option for admin.

I discovered that my administrative empire cannot use the Last Will Succession. This is awful!
