If the title has a lower rank than yours they become your vassal.

Only if they are in your de jure territory or of your dynasty, no? Or did a recent patch change this?

So I could give the guy a city first and then invade?

Yeah this is the easiest way to abuse the pressing claims system (they still have to be lower-ranked at the end though).

edit: Actually no, the most abusive way is to declare war before giving him the title, then give the title when the war is effectively won and sue for peace immediately afterward.

I don't think this applies if you're fighting for a title of equal worth. A Duke or Petty King cannot vassalize another.

I *think* it still works if you have a vassal outside of the de-jure territory of your title and not of your dynasty, and you push a claim for a vassal of his.

Ie: you are king of ireland, you have a duke level vassal outside of your realm and you push for a county that would be part of his de jure territory.
I could be talking out of my rear end though and you could just be correct.

Anyone have a clue for me on how to shut up the aztecs defeated event? It's getting tedious to have my game pause every two weeks to click that loving dialogue away. I've tried to kill all of the aztec emperors with any weak claims to landed titles, the current one just has the title emperor of mexikha, no land, no military, nothing. I just want him to go away already

Is this a beta problem and should I just roll back to the non-beta patch?

Are you sure it's not the Shia Caliphate? It still exists in my game and is a single mosque in Iraq somewhere. They've declared SEVEN jihads over the span of the game, the majority of which they did without anyone joining them and as such they got embarrassingly trounced with the requisite collapse in moral authority.

I'm really just seeing how long I can fly under the radar with bribes. I never thought Europe could survive the Tengri swarm. Just when things seemed their darkest, a new hope arose in the west:


She survived a massive revolt to become the second largest player in the world. When she hit 16 her vassals actually liked her and at 19 she could pull 200k+ troops, which is more than anyone but the Ilkhanate itself. With neighboring France and England, there's potential to actually push the mongols back for the first time since they conquered the Seljuks.

Then she got stabbed because some Byzantine dickhead decided that he'd rather be killed by mongols than live in a world where he was a duke. That girl had a short, amazing life. Now we're all hosed. :smith:

It'll get you de jure claims on the rest of the duchy (normally the requirement is half the counties plus one unless it's a two-county duchy), which means you can war for that territory. Also, prestige!

You'll get a nice chunk of prestige when you create it, and generate a bit more prestige every month for holding it. Create it and hold onto it until you become king of Ireland.

Yeah, if you're on gavelkind and create another same-level title (so another duchy if you're a duke, another kingdom if you're a king, etc.), your realm will be split up when you die. Hold off on creating it until you've changed your succession law.

Catholics being an Orthodox heresy on other saves after mending the schism in one has been reported since like, LoR's release. The new SoA mechanics mean it will end up turning Orthodox into a Catholic heresy on pretty much any start date.

Change it right now while you're independent, too, because it's harder to switch to Primogeniture (the best succession law) when you're under another duchy or kingdom because it requires High Crown Authority.

Staring down the barrel at a game over from my young childless king dying of an illness and his 60 year old aunt inheriting with no heirs of my dynasty (she is regularly married with a couple of kids). I'm not sure how this happened but there have been several mysterious murders of my close dynasty members including my sister and heir so I suspect the aunt has been scheming.

I think I'll just reload to when the king was still alive. I could salvage the situation by switching to elective but it feels pretty gamey for the queen to vote for good statted dynasty members instead of her own children. If I go back to play as the king will choosing the 'have son' ambition increase fertility? He already had great relations with his wife (90+) but still no kids after three years of marriage. Neither of them are gay, chaste or celibate.

It's from a patch, you have to be from celtic culture group. It is basically an elective, but your vassals can elect only ruling dynasty. But be careful, they love to find some obscure old rear end in a top hat that share your name and make him king.

Backing this, 100%. I've never had an issue with Elective, where my vassals seem to much more readily fall in line and vote for the people I tell them to, but with Tanistry they never seem to want to. The candidate weighting must be different.

They're more likely to vote for older dynasty members, so it's more akin to seniority than elective wrt to player control. I have seen them vote for random child dynasty members though.

Speaking of elective with respect to female rulers, does it just not show them? My realm was equal gender (agnatic-cognatic I think?) so females could rule, and I wanted to put my genius daughter on the throne, but I could only find male heirs for it.

Equal gender is abs-cog, ag-cog is men before women. It should show women under elective for either case, though.

Pretty sure for Tanistry electors intentionally avoid the current ruler's kids and vote for one of the former ruler's. In real life it was used to pass the throne between two different branches of the house. In other words, make sure to breed two lines of genius ubergods! (I might have done this)

Also quick vassal question, some dude in charge of one of my counties inherited a kingdom and went independent even though I'm an Emperor. Is this supposed to happen?

Does high crown authority have any effect on this? One of the things it does is prevent titles within the realm from being inherited by outsiders. So if a vassal gets a kingdom outside of the realm do they remain a vassal because their previous titles can't leave your realm?

Well, it seems that I've fixed the Aztec defeat event from firing every two weeks by adding a check for the aztec defeated tag. Since I'm not sure if this is a beta problem or something else, would someone be so kind as to paste me their non-beta vanilla aztecs defeated event? (crusader kings 2/events/sunset invasion) I'm curious to see if someone just forgot to add a line or if the vanilla event lacks the check for the flag also, in which case i've probably kludged it.

Trying to work around gavelkind is so frustrating. I started as Ivar and one of his 3 sons died. All good. Less sons to split up my inheritance, RIP. I then go about parceling out the counties I don't want to my remaining secondary sons, leaving my heir unlanded so as to try and have some level of control over what counties I [rear end to my heir. It's now at the point where these suckers have more counties that I do and they still stand to inherit some of my best counties. It's infuriating.
