You also could not transfer the title if it was being contested for any reason (succession crisis, pagan invasion, holy war, etc) That might be. I barely pay attention to when my vassals troops are raised because they are a bunch of aggressive assholes whose sole purpose is to ruin my pretty borders. And the fact that they ignore dejure stuff held by other Kingdoms and just holy war for random pieces of land...Assholes.

Eimi posted:Is anyone having problems transferring vassalage to certain people? Especially when your realm gets large? I have random Duchies/Counties that are vassals of me, as the Empress of Francia, but I cannot put them under their rightful rulers, they just don't show up in the menu to transfer vassals around, even when its say a county in West Francia itself. I haven't created the Kingdom of Aquitane, is that why it's an issue? (I want to hold on to Toulouse.) Though this issue still effects the Jarl of Swabia who is my vassal, but I cannot give them to Germany. >< Make sure they are not in a war with someone else within your realm, then you can't transfer them. Also if they have 1 duchy in 1 realm and 1 more duchy that belongs to another realm, then you can't transfer them.

Reveilled posted:Honestly I think it's stupid that the achievements are restricted to Ironman, it's a dumb as hell restriction. They have no meaning to anyone other than the player, so why does it matter that the player could theoretically save edit or cheat to get them? If that makes the player happy good for them and nobody (should) care if someone else cheated for it or not. Especially when anyone can open up steam achievement manager and get the achievements that way. It would be fine if ironman didn't force you to autosave and give you the associated stutter every month.

I can't agree to that, the UI does no need extra clutter for something that happens : -Predictably (if you do not have the proper titles or if the rulers are kings, they will NEVER accept) -Infrequently -Usually in chunks (i.e. you pick up an Emperor title and all the king-less dukes come into the fold)

This is totally what upsets me about the "You Can Usurp A Title" notification. It doesn't let you because they are usually at war, and so you just have to keep checking back periodically and hope you get lucky in a lull of activity. If it only popped up when you could actually do it and afford to do it, THAT would be helpful.

So in my ironman game I'm in a great holy war for Perm (not my first choice but hey) but it's at 100%, and has been for about 3 months, and he still won't enforce the demands. Do we need to conquer all of de jure Perm the Seljuks have?

You're doing it wrong, it's totally possible. Right-click instead of left, click the icon that looks like a face in profile. Also they don't need to have a claim, just hating their current liege and liking you is usually good enough for a bribe to work. It helps if they're greedy.

If they have a claim they might join your court or might not, no way to tell, got to invite them to find out, which is three more clicks. Oh, and every time you open the diplomacy menu the people finder closes, so with each person that it turns out won't join your court after all you need to re-open the thing. If you look at the Claimants list for a particular title, it'll show you thumbs-up/thumbs-down indicators of their willingness to come to your court, with a bit more detail on mouseover. There's nothing like it for just snatching high-skill courtiers, but if you just want claims to press/marry, it's easy.

Will the game remember that I have a most glorious dynasty of empresses? And so on. I haven't found a very clear list of what converts and what doesn't. Granted another problem is it's quite easy to conquer the world in CK2.

What are peoples opinions on where to put vassal merchant republics? I am the King of Lithuania and I am thinking of putting a Merchant Republic in the two province duchy of Pomeralia (with Danzig as the capital, which I find fitting) because I will already be getting fewer levies out of them for being a republic and they generate their fountains of cash from trade posts rather than "more land". Also, speaking of republics, how do vassal non-merchant republics work? e.g. if I give a county title to a mayor. Will I get more cash but fewer levies from them or will it be a wash? My line of thinking is that a city that is the vassal of the barony (county capital) is paying taxes to the barony's lord (not me) but if the city is the county capital, that city would get taxed just like a vassal city in a county I control, right? Does that even make sense?

Yes, but they will always have the -30 opinion modifier, it would be best to have them under a republic instead of a bunch of Lord Mayors hating you. As to positioning, I suggest you find a coastal zone that has a lot of ports for placement, that way your republic can set up a trading zone and bring in more tax money. For best results, crank up your city taxation to Harsh and city levies to Min.

I wish being a vassal was better documented. If I declare a war on my liege to install a throne claimant (through a normal war, NOT a faction since I'm not allowed to start factions), will vassals that like me more than him join my side or at least stay out of it? Does the fact that the realm is in a holy war against neighboring Muslims affect that? I'm playing a Byzantine duke in Ironman, so I'd like to avoid overly risky conduct, but the Emperor has almost depleted his levies in continuous holy wars and managed to piss off nearly every vassal he has, and my half-brother vassal and eligble electoral heir is married to one of the Emperor's sisters, and I'm rich enough to buy one of the more expensive mercenary bands and support it for a year or two so it's a huge opportunity - unless some vassals jump in on the Emperor's side or he hires some mercenaries or something. EDIT: Oh yeah, and the Emperor just appointed me his spymaster and then became Incapable, too. I wanted to build up my power base over a couple of generations before making a play for the throne, but this is an enormously tempting opportunity and I think I can grab the throne if he can't call all the vassals in on his side.

A lot of the time when I invite people to my court, they'll accept, but not actually come. They're not leaving again - the game auto-pauses on their acceptance, and I can open their profile from that screen and see they're still in the other court (and the Invite to Court button is still available). Sometimes if I keep spamming them they'll eventually actually come, but sometimes they'll just keep accepting and not appearing, forever. What's up with that?

Did Paradox change how pagan Subjugation wars work? I just won my Subjugation war for Ruthenia as Lithuania vs the Cumans, but all the Cuman counts and dukes are there and joined the independence faction and have more levies than the Khan of Cumania did and will definitely revolt shortly (and some are relatives of the Khan and will call him to war when they revolt, undoubtedly). Why did I gain control of ZERO counties when I won the Subjugation war? At this point I might as well grant independence to all these Cuman counts and dukes and re-war for the counties, because right now by winning the Subjugation war but not being able to kick ANY of the retained rulers out I have an unbeatable independence faction to deal with now....seems a little hosed. edit: thankfully this is not ironman and I am more than willing to use the console to fix this bullshit; but I am curious if this is how they work now, how they always worked but its just been a while, or what.
