I'm having a bizarre issue in my current Burgundy game. I'm the Emperor of Francia, King of France, King of Burgundy. I have the Queen of Aquitaine and the King of Hungary as my vassals. (Won Hungary in a crusade.) They are not the problem though. The Duke of Provence is constantly being an rear end in a top hat by nominating other successors for the Kingdom of Burgundy and starting factions. His biggest bitch is that he wants control of the County of Venaissin. It's currently ruled by a count who is a direct vassal of my Emperor. When I attempt to transfer vassalage to the Duke of Provence the Count of Venaissin is not in the list of vassals I can transfer to him. I would prefer not to revoke the county and give it directly to the Duke of Provence as I don't want him getting more powerful than he is. I just can't figure out why I can't transfer this count to him to make him a direct vassal of the Duke instead of me, thus solving one of this guy's biggest complaints and maybe calming him down a bit. My only guess is that Venaissin is no longer a de jure part of the Duchy of Provence which makes me wonder why not having it is a complaint for the Duke of Provence if that's the case? Any ideas on why I can't pass this vassal on?

Counties can't drift out of duchies at all, so that's not it. That's really weird, and I can't think why it wouldn't show up... Uh... Did you try sorting by rank on the transfer vassalage screen, and double/triple checked? Dunno. Otherwise you could always try granting the count of Venaissin a county in a different kingdom and trying to transfer his vassalage to the other guy, that way the duke of Provence will be pissed at his new liege rather than you. Makes for ugly as gently caress internal borders though

Yeah this piece of poo poo came to my court, I pressed his claim and he became independent. He refused vassalization even though his opinion was 100 because he was Italian and I'm Castille. Then I tried reloading and giving him land before pressing the claim. I gave him the land, and then the claim war for the county I wanted just wasn't available. So basically this game works in mysterious ways.

Yeah I sorted it by rank and the only count that showed up was one of my German counts. I even specifically looked for this guy's name which is Loui which was weird enough to stand out and he's not on the list at all. I'll give your suggestion a try and at least redirect the Duke's anger on to someone else. I wouldn't even care so much but the Kingdom of Burgundy has so few electors that if the Duke of Provence and even one or two others go against my nominee then I risk losing Burgundy and I don't want that.

Oh, did you check if he was revolting against the duke at the time? Like the duke was trying to revoke the county or something (war of tyranny)? You can't transfer his vassalage back to the duke if they're at war. That would make sense. Would also mean you couldn't transfer his vassalage to someone else, I don't think.

Oh I didn't even think of that. France is a constant battleground of petty wars between counts and dukes so I'm betting this is the issue.

I gave him the land, and then the claim war for the county I wanted just wasn't available. So basically this game works in mysterious ways. Often, if a claimant's opinion of you is high enough, and all the other conditions are met - same culture, same religion, you have much more power than them, and you're two ranks higher than them (i.e. if they're a count, you must be a king) - this is enough to override the penalty for not being the claimant's de jure liege, and you can get someone whose claim you've just pressed to become your vassal. If you don't meet those requirements, however, it's virtually impossible. Note, however, that you don't have to give the courtier land before starting the war; you just have to give him land before making peace. In my current game, I pressed my courtier's claim on a neighboring county, got to 100% warscore, and landed him in one of my demesne counties before accepting the enemy surrender, and he got the claimed county and remained my vassal. Then I got the option to plot-revoke the county of my demesne I had given to him, which I did; he wasn't particularly happy, but the -80 for "revoked my title" plus the -20 for "title claimant" (on the title I had stripped from him) was a wash with the +100 for "pressed my claim," so he still didn't hate my guts too badly. (And since it was a plot revocation, I got no tyranny and gained +1 intrigue for my trouble.) Sure, his son will still have a -20 penalty towards me for that claim he'll inherit, but I can live with that. (Since he was outside my de jure title and not of my culture, just pressing his claim as a courtier and asking for vassalization would not have worked, even though he would have liked me much better that way.) So, my advice to you would be to reload your game again, press the claim, land him just before you make peace, and see how things work then. I can't explain why you don't get the option to press his claim once he's landed, but I think my suggestion should work. Glass Hand fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Sep 14, 2013 |

If I'm sending a councilor at someone (eg spy network to assassinate or chancellor to raise opinion) should I send them where they are or where their capital is? Like, if they're leading an army but not moving it, should I move the chancellor there?

Like, if they're leading an army but not moving it, should I move the chancellor there? I'm actually unsure about chancellors, but I know for a fact that your spymaster has to be plopped down where the target currently is. Like if you want to kill the king of France and he's leading troops in Hainaut, you need to put your spymaster in Hainaut to make it work. The same applies to tutored children: you have to put your spymaster where the child is being tutored, i.e. guardian's place.

It's true with the proselytize action of the court chaplain, too. Courtiers not of your religion who are off leading armies will not be converted by a chaplain proselytizing in your capital.

Does the Muslim invasion CB (the 500 piety one) work differently than, er, every other invasion CB in the game? Invaded the Seljuks as the Fatimids, occupied all of Arabia and Syria, press enforce demands... and it just vassalizes everyone in Syria instead. It says "takes all occupied territory" which sounds like it shouldn't be different and is just bugging out. The gently caress? e: Just tested it on another game and I think the tooltip is just straight up wrong. You get any holdings owned by the person you're attacking, but vassalize everything else; the usual "take all occupied territory" does not happen Allyn fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Sep 14, 2013 |

I think I found the most alternativist piece of history ever in this game. A hunchback ethiopian-pomeranian reformed norse queen who used her military genius to sieze the throne and is now fighting to close a portal to hell that opened in her back garden. I really want her to do well but the Scandinavians cut Pomerania down to three provinces before the last Pomeranian king converted and they seem determined to take every province north of the Danube.

So something pretty cool's happened in my game. I'm playing as "Lennsland", the titular kingdom created by my also ruler-created Lennart Lennling (I'm super cool and not at all, guys, I swear). Over about ~100 years I've conquered my way from Cornwall to East Anglia and made myself a nice little kingdom (to make sure that things do not stay nice, however, I've created dynasties for each of his children, leaving the kingdom kind of unstable). Entirely independent of me, the AI Norse Pagans have conquered Scotland, middle/northern England, and Frisia of all places. They've formed their own kingdoms, titular (Jorvik) or otherwise (Skotland-Frisia). Oh. And one king in the Scandinavia went loving bananas. Do you see that cyan eyesore? That's the freaking Triple-Kingdom of Scania, Denmark, and Sweden forged by the boozy hands of Queen Asa the Drunkard. She began as the Queen of Scania (then just a minor grossly floruescent patch of color) then something triggered in the AI's code because she conquered most of southern Sweden, married the Jarl of Uppland, then made a buttload of titles—the money from all of this I assume came from raiding or something. I would have figured the AI would have made Denmark or Sweden its primary title, but nope! Scania is it's primary in all its jarring glory. But not only did Queen Asa conquer a whole bunch of frostbitten norsemen, she reformed the norse religion. This has thrown Britain into complete chaos. Lennsland is ruled by an Astrau (one of the reformed norse names (the most being Odinism) king, but half of the most important dukes are Old Norse; Jorvik's in pretty much the same situation; Skotland is ruled by the Old Norse descendant of Ivar the Boneless, Queen Aslaug the Black, Frisia, however, is ruled by Aslaug's Astrau sister, Duchess Skuld of Holland. So yeah, crazy poo poo's happening. I haven't even been paying attention to the Karlings, but it looks like they're up to their usual incestuous death-spiral.

So if I request an invasion from the pope, and my ruler dies (most likely of old age) during the invasion, what happens? I'm playing an Ua Briain game and I finally united Ireland. Murchad is 63 right now and I've got a few options for what to do with his remaining years, the two main ones being take 10,000 men to the Levant crusading (Fatamids currently can only raise 17k troops and are fighting an invasion against the Seljuks) or request an invasion of Scotland (who can muster only about half the troops I can). I suspect invading Scotland would be the more profitable thing to do, but my Murchad is a walking pile of virtues so I might just do the "in character" thing and go Crusading. It'd be good to get my Grandson the Crusader trait anyways. And who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and I'll be able to put a Ua Briain on the throne of Jerusalem (for a decade or two before the Fatamids and/or Seljuks crush him).

The invasion immediately ends and you have to request another from the Pope with your new ruler. If their ruler dies, the invasion immediately ends but I think you can start another one immediately. Because you pressed the claim in war, though, your kids will at least inherit it, which is... something, I guess

That is what I figured. Well, I have no desire to see Murchad croak half-way through stomping Scotland, so it sounds like he's gonna take a trip to the levant. Scotland can be Brian or Sean's problem.

I think you can just open the console and use "allow_laws" to change whatever. I just started a new game in Ireland during the Old Gods start and its, uh, different than the original start. It's been touch and go a few times so I hadn't been paying attention to the rest of the map. I happened to glance East maybe 30 years into the game and Hungary has taken all of the Byzantine Empire except Croatia (where the new capital is) and a few provinces in the eastern edge. Now they're expanding east and north. Mega Hungary don't gently caress around.

I'm trying to reform Norse Paganism and I'm really not sure how to raise moral authority enough. Sweden and I (Norway) are both Old Norse (the only Old Norse remaining), and we control the entirety of Scandinavia. Nobody is loving with us, so we're basically free to do whatever. The problem is that Sweden controls 2 holy sites and I control 1, and moral authority is at 31. I just don't see how, frankly, to raise it any higher. Nobody declares holy wars on either of us (last time it happened it ended very badly for them ), and neither of us can prepare invasions anymore. Help?

Rather expensive though.

My biggest problem with bad rulers is that the demesne limit shrinks, so I have to go distribute a few provinces so I'm not double the cap. My old King had a demesne limit of 7 (and held 9 provinces, since the penalty is worth the extra 2 provinces), and now I have a demesne limit of 5 (with 10 provinces)...I try and keep a large set of provinces so that I have the personal military forces to blow up rebelling vassals. And when you then have a good heir that can support that many provinces, it's annoying to have to try and get extra provinces back.
