to summarize:
* World generation is what happens in the world before you actually start playing
* Fortress Mode is when you play Fortress Mode
* World Activation is what happens in the world while you're playing Fortress Mode.

There are some differences.

I created a nobles position at site level, that inherrits from a noble on civ-level.
Code: [Select]
[POSITION:MINISTER]
   (..., no SITE )

[POSITION:LOCAL_NOBLE]
   [SITE]
   [SUCCESSION:BY_POSITION:MINISTER]
   (...)
This works in World Generation (yes indeed how cool is that ;-) ) , but does not work in Fortress Mode. I 'invited' the civ-noble at my fortress and pulled some strings, but succession wouldn't occur. I made sure that the conditions were perfect and that all other options were ruled out (as far as I know ;-) )

I would like to understand this. Can someone please explain this? Not so simple: 'those systems are separate', because that is clearly not the case, because they can interact in the world generation.

And follow-up question: does it work in World Activation, and why? How can I determine that with a certain level of certainty?
