I had 1500+ hours in EU4, but then I discovered CK2, and just couldn't go back to EU. You see, the very sketchy dynasty games were always unsatisfactory for me in EU. You can't really protect your dynasty or force a Personal Union on somebody, that was always very annoying. I'd play EU5 with more detailed family mechanics...

The latest update to EU IV (or expansion, I'm not sure which actually has it) lets you spend influence to place an heir from your dynasty on a foreign throne.

Last time I played it was in 2016 or so, so this expansion wasn't available yet.

(And yeah, I'm not sure I want to buy all that stuff they've rolled out in the past five years!)

I thought this was only the case with the polish elective monarchy where you can send a diplomat to support heir. Can you do this to other countries?

With the latest expansion, you can spend favors to do it. As Bohemia, I managed to get my heir on the thrones of 4 other countries.
