It is usually a good idea to immediately declare war on your siblings right after you start the new character since their counties are typically weaker at the start. Your new character also has claims on the old lands that you had and can start a war to get them back. This in itself is not a bad thing since the new realms are usually much weaker than the one your primary heir inherits. They are easier to call upon in wars and typically have a higher opinion of you. Giving these lands to your children rather than your vassals also has benefits of keeping the lands within the family. Instead of reserving these ones for your primary heir, give them to your other children to satisfy their land requirements. These lands will typically be much worse off compared to your original holdings since they are usually a different culture, lower development level, and lower control.

In my runs, I typically start off with this general rule of thumb and add more lands as I go to satisfy the other heirs. The more counties and duchies you have, the more lands the children will require to stay satisfied.
The other children will usually still be satisfied with a duchy and county if you land them prior to dying. If you are Duke or above, you will have a Duchy title that is passed to your eldest son or child if you have equal laws.įor Kings and above, you typically will only have one Kingdom to give to your primary heir. There are exceptions to this rule, but keep this in mind when you are landing your children. For any ruler that is a Duke or above, the general rule of thumb is that each possible heir will need a duchy and a county to be satisfied. Constantly check back to this page to see where your succession is at. The worst thing that can happen is to see your entire list of counties going to your random heirs instead of your primary - leaving you with extremely weak military and financial capabilities. It will tell you which heirs do not currently have enough land and will begin taking your current Counties away from your primary heir.
