Either way he has to disinherit most of them. Designating an heir only works for your primary title under partition succession, meaning that Brittania would go to his next eligible heir.
@@huckthatdish Because he holds a the duchy of Mann which goes to his eldest child under the high partition laws. In High Partition, the second heir gets satisfied with an equal tier title (i.e. Empire of Britannia) so they inherit no more. Therefore all the duchies are inherited by the primary heir, which includes the duchy of Mann in Scotland.
Giving Britannia away would backfire spectacularly, I'm calling it now. Short term benefit and that's it. You'll have to help the emperor fending off uprisings left and right, because if one wins, your ally is gone and there is a new Catholic superpower close by. For the love of Ylva, just keep it.
@@thiagooshiro4857 The real issue is that he has no way to guarantee an alliance long term. At most, Jon could make the emperor of Britannia of his house, but that's no guarantee for an alliance and doesn't remove the issue of constant Catholic uprisings. Because it will take more than a century to convert all of Britannia. And with the current update, every direct Catholic vassal will call Wars against Tyranny or for claimants. It's not feasible at all. He's better off keeping the troops from two empires to dissuade any uprisings in the first place or to put them down when they happen.
Also Britannia owns quite a bit of Scandanavia meaning jon will lose a lot of land when the empires split. Britannia will usurp the various dutchy titles and declare war on Scandanavia
As Jon was disinheriting his daughter, I couldn't help but notice a "Designate Heir" button that went ignored. What would have happened if he just used that on Odd? Would that have resolved all of his sucession problems with a single click and handed all his lands to his child of choice? I also would have tried to solve the Estonia problem by just trying to arrest him for murder, used my vastly superior army to put down his uprising, then stripped his lands while he sat in a prison cell. That was how I liked to rule my Empire in CK2. Maybe in this case other disgruntled vassals would have joined him or whether the Estonian vassal contract would have prevented the title stripping though.
Designate heir doesn't completely work like that, odd was already his heir, he has too many kids to nicely keep everything together. He should just go to primogeniture
Jon QUIT FIRING COMPETENT COUNCILORS FOR "POWERFUL" VASSALS you have so many other ways to keep them happy and its just not worth it, having competent councilors is so much more important, especially since they can wipe out the negative events from their jobs
Yep, just because they're powerful doesn't mean that they *must* be on the council, just that they *want* to be there. As long as you keep them happy in other ways like swaying them, pressing their claims, waging holy wars and granting them counties from the spoils, or bribing them with money then there's no downside to them not being on the council. Having a -40 opinion for not being a councillor is totally unimportant if they're +100 anyway. If they're competent enough to warrant a job then great, but you should always have the most competent council you can.
Yes, he can. If he ever actually reads the comments, which have been saying this since the last episode, I'm sure he'll smack himself in the head and then mention it in "Let's talk about all the things Jon got wrong".
Whatever you do PLEASE do not split the two empires apart, you've spent so much time conquering Britannia, allowing them to become independent will not turn out how you want it to
@@foleymcfoley9720 Except it means giving up a lot of troops and revenue that he would need to fight off future crusades, while the AI is sometimes dumb as a doornail and will just lose parts of Britain to the Christians. Giving away Britain is pretty much suicide at this point.
@@foleymcfoley9720 The problem with granting Britannia independence is that there won't be a clean split due to the horrific border-gore. Ireland holds a huge chunk of Sweden that will go along with Brittania and some of the other Britannic Kingdoms hold small patches of Scandinavia which will severely weaken the Scandinavian Empire. Also, Estonia holds a huge piece of Danelaw, which will remain with Scandinavia once Brittania is granted independence, unless Jon wants to grant Estonia to the Emperor of Britannia and end up losing more of Scandinavia in the process. This messy split will not only lead to an ugly map but a more hostile relationship between the two Empires. Both Emperors will desire the De jure land of their titles and this negative opinion modifier will ensure that alliances between the two will not be sustained over multiple generations. Another problem that arises is that one of Jon's children or siblings could be elected as the Britannic Emperor/Empress, leading to them having claims on Scandinavia. This could result in war for subjugation when Jon is busy fending off crusades or fighting multiple wars. And Britannia is way more developed than Scandinavia due to the geography (the mountains in Scandinavia have a -10% modifier to the development growth compared to the +10% modifier that Britannic farmlands have) meaning that Britannia will be capable of raising more levies per county that Scandinavia. This means that Jon could end up losing Scandinavia to a Britannic Emperor down the line, especially if he has his hands full fighting multiple wars.

"Oh there's my little granddaughter...I can extort her for 100..." Classic! :D
Oh Jon, the patch notes for the next update! "Just characters no longer gain Stress when they execute someone if they also have a faith with the Human Sacrifice tenet."
I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. He tends to be a couple of episodes ahead with the uploads. Remember Perun and Skull mountain? He knew about that like 8 episodes early.
This game is really bad in terms of border gore, it doesn't really consider de jure when dishing out vassals when someone dies, so you tend to get really odd kingdom titles in empires.
Odd is obviously so incredibly evil and intelligent that he has managed to break the confines of the game and trick Jon into ignoring his handy designate heir button, ensuring that his competition for the succession is eliminated and achieving his goal of total world domination. Also, the fact that we've just started a new sex cult religion when we're about to usher in the evil and intelligent new ruler can't be a coincidence. It's King Connor the Seducer all over again.
25:50 "Now my dear grandchild..." *rubs hands* "about that pocket money of yours that you saved up..." You know what Jon - you don't get to say that Odd is evil anymore as long as you are out there and literally stealing all the candies from babies *of your own family* :D
I might be missing something, but wouldn't designating Odd as heir mean avoiding the rigmarole of changing the succession laws every time? I'm pretty sure Jon has that tech now, or am I missing something about how heir designation works?
Beginning of the episode: Oh, high crown authority, I can designate heirs now End of the episode: Oh what do I do? You get disinherited, and you and you! What is happening?! LMAO JON!
Jon, the Denmark breaking away thing is a bug. It was fixed in the latest patch, but you seem to still be on 1.1 for this run. Feel free to use the debug console to force him to rejoin, that's very much not intended.
Having both elective laws where he can designate his vote, as well as absolute crown authority where he can designate his heir for non-elective stuff, you are still thinking in terms of just primogeniture-like inheritance, Jon. You don't have to change gender laws or anything. Just use the tools you already have :) Edit: Also, you do know there is a succession menu that shows you what everyone is getting as part of your inheritance, right? You don't have to mouse over every title :)
Jon, you can still grant titles to disinherited heirs. After your ruler dies and you have passed the titles on to the specific heir you want you can even restore the inheritence rights of disinherited characters. Eg if you have to many sons, disinherit the extras and conquer a duchy(s) and then grant them the duchy title. When their brother becomes ruler he can restore their inheritence rights if an heir is needed prior to having a son.
I don't think jon has noticed that large portions of Scandanavia are owned by Britannia and that he's going to lose about a third of Scandanavia when the empires split. Britannia will then usurp the various duchies of sweeden from Jon and then declare war on him. jon can delay Britania declaring war on him with a marriage alliance for a while but a chatholic uprising or just bad luck with children will end that alliance.
Something I miss from CK2 is the ability to lose character traits as you age, Like starting out as a kind and just ruler but by the time you hit 50 having lost your noble traits and spend your days drinking and torturing prisoners, Anna’s murder would have been the perfect opportunity for Elin to possibly go full Ivan the terrible but all it does is give her less stress than blackmailing the likely killer.
Totally agree, it misses those little aspects that add so much depth to the game, especially if you are a bit of an RolePlayer as I am (and Jon seems to be)
@@theluckyaceco Well, it's a Paradox game, they will probably add it back in DLC number 50. Personally, the biggest thing I miss from CK 2 is the supernatural stuff.
I think a Psychiatrist would have a field day watching Jon's videos for this game. The decisions, comments and his overall morality could fill a library full of Research papers.
Jon, the assassination could have been prevented with a Spymaster with excellent skill. I have not played a game yet where I prioritized vassals in my council over candidates with excellent skills. My primary goal is to populate my council with members at 20+ skill levels. I'm not playing on hard though, but it does seem you can manage your vassals' opinions without giving them positions. As far as preventing the assassination, I rarely take my 20+ level Spy Master off disrupt schemes.
Ok, I didn't think reorganizing the faith was a good idea, but what you did with it is hilarious, hope it smooths out. One would think it would be a VERY popular religion. "Wait, you mean the tenets of the faith are to aggressively bone anyone in sight AND go fighting for fun and profit? SOLD!" Taking the power to declare holy wars out of the AI's hands is pretty useful though.
And again how he besieges with 20k, never uses Station Besiegers or realizes the siege would be the same time with 400 men and trebuchets. Most of the wars in the series are just watching him have 98% of his army doing nothing when it should be chasing down other armies

This may have been mentioned already but you can see the succession better with the realm succession tab, right side of screen at the top the green crown and then third tab. Shows which titles remain yours and which titles go to others with a portrait of the other person. would be better than what you have been doing by hovering over each title in your character screen.
Your daughter dying is like when the black prince died and cause the war of the roses, because the crown went to the grandchild rather than the son(s). And then Fillip swings in like Richard III the evil uncle
20:00 the second group of huscarls might've been from a landed heir's personal army. I noticed that I just keep getting men at arms I never bought through the generations
Jon, you can split the two empires by just going back to normal partition, high partition focuses on the big titles, so you keep both empire titles but lose everything else pretty much
It's as if "Odd" is so brilliant that he managed to cause Jon to take drastic action giving him exactly what he wanted without having to do a thing. Mwahahahahaha!
The issues is that all your differents kingdoms and Empires are different elective traditions. Therefore you need to correct that otherwise, because of the amount of titles you have, it's ridiculously tough to maintain a comprehensive understandign who who gets what.
commenting after the release of episode 27 so I don't expect this to still be possible, but I would have used the strong hook on Filip in a plot to kill his firstborn, you know, to make a point.
41:38 This is character assassination! Linda is a widow, you can see it because you can select her previous spouse and she doesn't have the "crotch on fire" fornicator trait.
For the love of anything that is good...check the damn realm succession: the crown icon on the right side of the screen or click on any title and see the succession order!
Before spliting the Empires, please remove the bit of Ireland from sweden, revoke vassal's if need be. Get back Scandinavian Elective in Scandinavia. =P You could also get Elective for the Empire of Britannia and rig the eleciton.
Re watching this and giggling at Jon's surprise and indignation all over as perpetration for tonight arrival of a machine which will run CKIII & Stelaris properly an which point I am off for a Holiday break in Noob Ireland
Giving Brittannia away is the worst mistake you could make Jon. Ireland holds a big bit of Scandinavia due to uncontrolled internal bordergore and that will go also belong to Britannia. Besides, our gonna have a mighty patch in Brittania where Estonia holds bits of Danelaw, unless you plan on granting that to Britannia as well....
Has high crown authority and can designate an heir:
Jon: Let's disinherit everyone
He literally hovered over the tooltip for it too while he was going on his firing spree. Perception -1
I also made a comment about this
Either way he has to disinherit most of them. Designating an heir only works for your primary title under partition succession, meaning that Brittania would go to his next eligible heir.

Shows which titles remain yours and which titles go to others with a portrait of the other person. would be better than what you have been doing by hovering over each title in your character screen.
You see your sister in a dangerous battle, you way the options between saving her and having a feast to get over the stress.
Your daughter dying is like when the black prince died and cause the war of the roses, because the crown went to the grandchild rather than the son(s). And then Fillip swings in like Richard III the evil uncle
You had the first genius with "Too Late" but you neglected and then killed him in a pointless crusade defence!!!!
20:00 the second group of huscarls might've been from a landed heir's personal army. I noticed that I just keep getting men at arms I never bought through the generations
Jon, you can split the two empires by just going back to normal partition, high partition focuses on the big titles, so you keep both empire titles but lose everything else pretty much
I really don't like high partition
It's as if "Odd" is so brilliant that he managed to cause Jon to take drastic action giving him exactly what he wanted without having to do a thing. Mwahahahahaha!
Don't think of it as a bribe, think of it as Wergild.
I can't wait for the reign of Emperor Odd...
Filip lokison watching jon disinherit everyone .
"Yes send all your family to me"
Makes clamant of like everything spymaster that sounds like a genius idea
Every time I see Ireland on that map I get so anxious.
The issues is that all your differents kingdoms and Empires are different elective traditions. Therefore you need to correct that otherwise, because of the amount of titles you have, it's ridiculously tough to maintain a comprehensive understandign who who gets what.
Jon, please use the “station besiegers” function to make wars more efficient. Love you!
Whats sexy is how quick this was uploaded 👌
commenting after the release of episode 27 so I don't expect this to still be possible, but I would have used the strong hook on Filip in a plot to kill his firstborn, you know, to make a point.
41:38 This is character assassination! Linda is a widow, you can see it because you can select her previous spouse and she doesn't have the "crotch on fire" fornicator trait.
For the love of anything that is good...check the damn realm succession: the crown icon on the right side of the screen or click on any title and see the succession order!
Before spliting the Empires, please remove the bit of Ireland from sweden, revoke vassal's if need be.
Get back Scandinavian Elective in Scandinavia. =P
You could also get Elective for the Empire of Britannia and rig the eleciton.
Surely "Asextru" would have been a better name
"Odd is getting Britain", most say Britain is getting odd.
As much as I don't think splitting the empire is a sensible plan, much like Sexy Thorism it sure would be great fun to watch!
Re watching this and giggling at Jon's surprise and indignation all over as perpetration for tonight arrival of a machine which will run CKIII & Stelaris properly an which point I am off for a Holiday break in Noob Ireland
33:53 .....and you don't feel bad breaking it to get the money out of him.
Giving Brittannia away is the worst mistake you could make Jon. Ireland holds a big bit of Scandinavia due to uncontrolled internal bordergore and that will go also belong to Britannia. Besides, our gonna have a mighty patch in Brittania where Estonia holds bits of Danelaw, unless you plan on granting that to Britannia as well....
Oh no
