A Study of Gavelkind- A Gavelkind Tutorial Video With Examples
By lorrelion
Hello one and all,

I've started up a webseries, Strategy 202, where I look into strategy and mechanics of Grand Strategy games (mostly Ck2, and Paradox Games).

My first video I used console commands to set up gavelkind situations to see each works and then analyze each one after it happens.

I hope this helps people.

Link to video and notes from video explaining Gavelkind
The link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo3W4-nCEr4
Please watch in 1080p.


Notes for today's lesson are:
-Under gavelkind the system tries to keep dejure territory together.
-if multiple kingdoms under gavelkind, the game will force your first heir to play the primary title, if no kingdoms it will force your first born play the biggest title but you will still play your primary title.
-if primogeniture and two female heirs, the heir with a son will inherit first regardless of age under agnatic-cognatic, if under gavelkind succession will act as normal.
-if you can only make one of two title primogeniture, switch your secondary title first

it depends upon how many children you have if you just have one it reverts to primogeniture as a default if one child exists and if gender laws are agnatic-cognatic are female characters permitted to succeed to your throne.
