Burgundian inheritance 1.30 (2024)

This is what ive understood so far reading the code of the events leading to the burgundian crisis:

1.Burgundy strarts with a modifier called Burgundian crisis making almlsost impossible for burgundy ruler to concieve a new heir and this is meaant to last untill 1500 or if the burgundian crisis is resolved(the curremt ruler gets -100% chance of getting a new heir and also disable the option for introducing new heir). The most likelly way for burgundy to get a new heir with this modifier is if the current ruler is not married and get the event that marries him and also gives him an heir. He can also get an heir normally but it is very rare taking in count chances are almost cero.

2.In the meantime there is an event that gives a female heir to burgundy if the current ruler doesnt have an heir; that is meant to happen in 120 months strating in 1457. That female heir is Marie de Bourgogne and she cannot be uninherited while the crisis modifier is active.

3.When the current male ruler dies and Marie gets the throne then the Burgundian succession crisis event fires and she gets those 3 options that we saw in the dev diaries, with the emperor enforcing HRE lands if the one who get the inheritance is not himself. (This can also fire if Maire event never fires, the current king of burgundy has to die with a male heir with a weak claim or no heur at all). Im not sure what are the modifiers for IA Burgundy to decide the outcome but i think it has to do with of course having a RM, good diplo relations and high development (the country with more dev having a RM with Bur is most likelly to get it).

4.Then there is another event that gives you all of burgundy lands for free if you have a PU over them via this event.

If AI Austria gets the Burgundian Inheritance, Castile/Spain will get the land afterwards if they have a royal marriage with them.

I'm glad they did this, as it is the historical way Burgundian Inheritance happened in real life.

What happens if Marie dies before the duke ?

I really need help with this one definitively as well, I've been super unlucky in my France game and Marie died while the Duke was 40. I'm really hoping the entire event chain doesn't get circumvented by this one bit of rng.

In my Austria run I inherited Burgundy 10-15 years after Marie died it. Charles did not get an heir in that time, they said he has a very low chance to produce a male heir. IIRC if he actually does get one then the Inheritance won't happen.

In my game Marie died and Burgundy instantly got another male heir. Duke were Fertile, that might be the reason he got a heir. And he didn't die until 1510 and event didn't fire. I don't know if it's because Burgundy had a male heir or year is too late but that really ruined my plans

I had a very very strange thing happen in my game as Austria. I've posted this on another thread, so bear with me if you already read this. BUT in my game Marie de Bourbogne died THREE times!!! When she was heir to Charles, I Royal Married Burgundy and got her as my consort. Marie then DIED as the HEIR of Burgundy, but stayed alive as my consort. Charles, without an heir, died and Burgundy Inheritance crisis happened, and MARIE came to me requesting the PU (or something like that). I chose to keep the PU, which forced France to DOW me. After winning that war, my consort Marie died! I remarried someone else. Sometime later, Marie died yet again via event! And I inherited Burgundy with that event. Who knew Marie had access to the Deathly Hallows!

The Burgundian Inheritance will fire when Charles I dies, regardless of whether or not he accepted Marie as an heir, unless he has a male heir with a strong claim. If he has a female heir, regardless of who it is, or a male heir with an average or weak claim, or no heir at all, the Inheritance will fire on his death.

You sure, where is the event file? Average claim male heir did not fire the event.
