The Count of Boulogne. If you marry the right people, and certain people die before they can breed, you can be a double or triple-duke by the time you hit 50 and be the most powerful duke in the realm. Then you start exterminating the Karlings one branch at a time.

In my current game I won Jerusalem in a crusade and I'm trying to turn it into a king-level theocracy, but when I try to grant the prince-bishop the title it doesn't even show up in the list. Can the player not create king-level theocracies, or is there something else at work here? I know there's the 10% limit on republics/theocracies, but I've got all of Brittania and considerable chunks of the Iberian peninsula and Italy in my empire, so the 10% rule shouldn't be an issue. Within the duchy I gave the two non-Jerusalem counties to bishops as well, if that matters.

First dev diary on Rajas is up: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?753709-Crusader-Kings-II-Rajas-of-India-Dev-Diary-1-Overview Somewhat interesting: Pdox Devs posted:Now, there has been some speculation about how the map will be handled exactly, and the answer is simply that we are extending it far to the east. It's not a separate map or anything like that. This means that everyone who owns the game will be able to interact with, (and conquer!) India, whether they own Rajas of India or not.

I hope the Tiger hunt event will be tied to the region the dude's in rather then culture or religion. If i convert to Hinduism I don't want to see tigers roaming around in Scotland.

DrSunshine posted:Haha. Wow. That was fun. Playing as Count Angilbotto of Venaissin, in the space of just three generations, I plotted and schemed and united the Karlings, and they eventually formed the HRE by themselves, all without ever raising my levies (except to declare independence from my duke in order to become the king's spymaster). I never expanded beyond my single county! I did something like this on a Roman Byzantine Duke playthrough. I though it would be fun playing as the last surviving Roman family of Claudiuses, working their way up and eventually restoring the Empire. Except my custom-made ruler died after like 3 years, leaving only a daughter. After being stripped of her ducal title due to an unsuccessfull rebellion she spent most of her 80-years-long life stabbing her way to secure the best positions and claims for her children and keeping them educated in Roman culture. It was pretty different and challenging. It's tough to just conquer the other Byzantine dukes, because all of them are pretty equal in power and it's difficult to get good CB on them, so it encourages the marriage game (and the stabbing game). Baron Porkface posted:Where is this thing? And why is succession higher than authority when authority is more reasonable and sensible? Here. I'm not sure I understand your question though. Authority factions are less dangerous and easier to please. Succession/independence factions are more dangerous (as in, you have more to lose) and harder to manage. Makes sense to me, I guess?

My duke was homosexual and leader of a faction against the king of Aquitaine. The king threatened to out me if I didn't disband my faction and never make another one, and apparently I had no choice but to comply (there was no other option for some reason). Now my duke is dead and his son has taken over, but I still can't seem to make factions. How long does this last?

The last time they expanded the map, I believe by adding some provinces with LoR, made it so the new provinces would be black if you tried to load an old save. Since there were no defined leaders or province history.

For an invasion, do I have to siege every single holding? Or just the first county holding so I can take it after the war?

If you siege only the first county holdings you will take only the first county holdings, but of course, a bunch of native barons mayors and bishops aren't going to be able to do much.

You can, but they won't like you much. Of course, you can hand the counties off to vassals and it becomes their problem, but they'll be less optimal until they deal with them. If you plan to keep any of the provinces yourself it's best to fully siege them and recruit new barons afterwards.

Reasonable but suboptimal; all those mayors and bishops (or whatever) and minor barons and such... they're all going to despise you, and while that doesn't seem like a big deal, those guys can join in on plots to murder you. You have two good options, really - siege everything and install your own loyal vassal mayors n' such (or hand the county off to a vassal who'll do that himself - which is what I usually do, as the relation bonus for handing over a county is only 40, but a county plus two barony-level holdings makes it 80, and so on), or siege only the top-level holdings and then, once you've conquered, revoke all those titles manually. Which, if you have the Crown Authority to do it, works out nicely (barony-level vassals will almost always agree to a revocation, because they know it's not like they can take you in a fight), but involves a vastly larger amount of clicking and if you don't have a good reason (for instance, they're heathens) will give you massive and regrettable Infamy penalties.

I compromised and fully sieged half the counties, but when I ended the war I automagically usurped the kingdom title so I got every holding plus the rest became my vassals, so it worked out nicely. The only problem is dukes held counties that weren't their de jure territory, but I think I can turn off my sperg for a bit and not worry about perfect borders.
