When the soveriegn dies - there should be a succesor - that person would inherit ALL the power of the soverign (making his essence pool jump!

though! it should take a while - and this is where it gets interesting -


the game could then have a "how well does the family get along" and the children might suddenly start a civil war to try and kill off the one in the first line so that they get all the power.

This could all be settled in a - all the children that are interested -(some might just go - "hey! im for family! i wont join this battle! or im so low in the family i wont bother." while the others all teleport to one field and start dúking it out - with all their power and spells or melee skills until one victor stands and that person inherets all the power of the soverigh - and the game continues


This would be awesome as it would also make the game last longer when you kill off a soveriegn - and even if you die - you still have a small chance to survive - atleast in "essence" as you would resume control of the winner/winner by default


the game could even be expanded with giving each family member reputation / essence control points / titles - by giving your children (cities - in the fact they are the prince of this city - or duke of this city etc etc)  and it all adds up so tha there would be atleast 3 candidates to inherete the power when you die.

this would prevent those that are weak to attempt at claiming the throne - and also give you "some" control over who you would like to be the next vessel of your power.

add to this a random event when children are in the same stack "whoops ...he just got assasinated ...dang" "oh she fell down into a cliff and hit her head repeatedly against a rock"    this would suck! but it would also be AWESOME
