How do succession laws work? Like many grand strategy games, Crusader Kings 3 is a complex mass of overlapping systems, but there's one thing at the heart of them all: the age-old axiom "you can't take it with you." It's a game that takes place over the course of hundreds of years, and so naturally you're going to watch your character get old and die (often, they'll even skip that first step).
What happens to all those titles you've been hoarding when your character goes to their eternal reward? That's handled by succession laws, and understanding them is a key to preserving your family's legacy, keeping your realm intact, and knowing how to shape your own goals.
The Venn diagram of religion, culture, sex, and politics in Crusader Kings 3 all intersect in what amounts to a first year law student's trusts and estates course, and this guide will give you the basics on how succession works in Crusader Kings 3 and how you can use it to your advantage.
