Road to Power - Succession
So I just recently got the road to power expansion/DLC and am trying to play in the byzantibe empire with the new administrative governance style. In previous games, with feudalism, I had to tediously manage my succession through disinheritance and utilizing celibacy to limit the amount of children overall.
Is this no longer something I need to worry about with this new governance style and associated succession laws? From my understanding I could simply use my influence to try and get whichever child I preferred to be my heir rather than worry about celibacy and disinheritance. Is this correct?
Or are there significant penalties against the non-first born child/male heir that would make it mich more difficult to have the election go in favor of an alternative preferred heir - currently my second male son has preferred traits…
