About the only thing that can reliably stand up to them is the "Byz", or Byzantine Empire (also called the ERE, for Eastern Roman Empire). No, it has nothing to do with ABBA, it's the Abbasid Caliphate that controls the Arabian Empire (the bulk of the Middle East and a large chunk of North Africa) at the two earliest start dates. Just reform one of the Pagan religions with the Enatic Clans doctrine or have the "Blood of Bayajidda and Magajiva" bloodline, which enables Enatic-Cognatic succession.

Subverted by Holy Fury, you can choose to have Enatic tribal, feudal, nomadic, and republican realms now. With some simple hacking, they are easy enough for players to enable, but attempting to use them ingame is hopeless - thanks to Artificial Stupidity, they are buggy as hell, largely because the AI simply has no clue how to properly handle marriages, vassal behaviour, etc under such laws. Dummied Out: "Enatic" and "Enatic-Cognatic" gender inheritance laws (meaning female only and female before male inheritance, respectively) exist in the game files, but are disabled by default.The second Crusader Kings game has Tibetans as a playable faction, yet the game is available in China (although it's very likely the Chinese version may have been censored where Tibet isn't a playable faction, since another game made by the same company was banned in China for this very reason) Banned in China: Interestingly averted.That would also keep your whole realm intact under a single duchy, and you can always recreate the title with a later ruler once you have the Kingdom or you have better succession laws. You can do that by giving him a bishopric (which makes him ineligible to inherit anything), by destroying a duchy title (thereby making one inherit the remaining duchy and the other only a county or two), or by having him conveniently expire before you do through various means.ĭestroying the title is probably the "nicest" option, since you get to keep both sons alive and ruling. The way to avoid the division of your realm on death is to eliminate one son's ducal inheritance. And if you gave your younger son the counties in the elder's ducal inheritance, the inheritance would simply change so that your unlanded eldest son inherited the other duchy instead: inheritance is always recalculated based on your current titles, not titles you once had. Paradox wanted to close the exploit you mention for gavelkind, so now you are limited to giving your heir a single county. You can't actually give your eldest son all the counties in the other duchy as of the 1.10 patch, so the situation you describe can't happen.
