how does this change anything? anyone can run the action again after claims change to let the strongest claim obtain victory. All this really does is give an explicit post announcing it which I guess doesn’t hurt

There’s a window following the Legitimize action where another Heir might be able to perform some action (eg. Assassination) that would change who had the “single strongest Claim” - we would then have two players who could both declare victory.

The change here is explicitly making “and somebody wins” part of the action, rather than something which (at least arguably) becomes true and remains true for the rest of the dynasty.

but that could still happen under these rules.

the one area it helps is that it makes it explicit when the Legitimize action took place. Right now, it just happens silently so anyone can just claim “I legitimized at X:XX…”

but this doesn’t fix the problem of two different players successfully doing the legitimize action before someone is able to get a DoV up

Legitimizing can only be performed once, by one player - the action can only be taken “if it has not yet been done this dynasty”. Good point that it’s silent if no Claims change hands during it, though.

My intention with the victory being achieved “upon such a blog entry being posted” is that the achievement only happens once, at that moment of that posting. (The current “When the Legitimize action is complete” can be read as allowing the victory check to be made at any later point - “is the Legitimize action complete? Yes, it was performed in full an hour ago, therefore…”)

ah i missed that bit. makes sense.
