What Rianeva said. You can also become an emperor, vassalize the Pope, and he can't refuse to grant the claim. He'll still lose opinion with you, but he'll just stew ineffectually, maybe start a faction or something, but he'll likely be dead within a few years, so who cares? Good for dealing with superdukes--just get claims on all their territory and revoke it. By the point you can do this, though, you've pretty much won the game.

The "easiest" way is to be opportunistic and not target somebody in particular, because the easiest way to get the Pope to hate somebody is because of traits. Kinslayers, cynics, several sins, that's the kind of poo poo you're looking for. Always be looking at the heirs of your neighbors, sometimes you stumble upon somebody that the Pope hates because of their traits. Then one stab later you're in prime position to strike.

I'm a duke in Byzantium. Thanks to some deaths my heir is married to the ruling countess of a nearby county in Hungary in a normal marriage, so assuming all stays constant my grandson would be the ruling count. So when that guy dies and my grandson, Count of Whatever inherits, will the duchy stay in Byzantium (logic: the Count of Whatever is inheriting a higher level title, Duke of Slavonia) or flip to Hungary (logic: the Count of Whatever can't be the vassal of two different lieges)?

I just realized I had some poor guy in prison for 23 years. He got picked up during a civil war and because nobody was willing to pay his ransom, and I got distracted by the ongoing war, I forgot all about him. I let him out and he's aged 52 now. I hope he has a decade or two to enjoy daylight again.  He never asked for better accommodations or anything either, which is usually a prudent move on the part of my prisoners, but in this case it would have got him let out as soon as I remembered him.

Apparently Paradox loves tying things to bmp color tables. Okay. Fine. Text would be easier, but this can still work... (Also had a Norse character with a Quick wife and two Genius concubines. Wound up with 11 children, of which only the youngest was either Quick or Genius. Considering Elective succession.)

It depends which he inherits first, I believe. This is exactly the kind of scenario in play when you get the VASSAL INHERITANCE WARNING popup button. Edit: Actually that may not be right, I'm not sure. I've only actually tried it with titles of the same level; the duchy title may win out in either case.

I hope he has a decade or two to enjoy daylight again. I've found people aged 70+ in my dungeon that were born there before. I used to do yearly releases where I just let everyone go, but since my dungeon hit 100+ prisoners after some holy wars I kinda went "gently caress it". The game needs a "Release all prisoners" decision. It could even give you a chance to get the "Kind" trait or something if you release many enough.

Even better than that would be a "Release all prisoners I can't get a ransom for" button. The game drat well knows whether or not I can get a ransom. Or better still, a checkbox just like the "stop all plots" checkbox that just automatically tries to ransom every prisoner you get, and releases the prisoner if you can't get any cash for them.

In the upcoming Sonendar patch: Revamped Rozhan tech tree   In addition to expanding to the southern continent, I'll be adding some fixes to the Rozhans. The Rozhans are essentially "Feudal Lords who style themselves merchants", rather than "Merchants who style themselves lords". They rule by regular feudal succession, and aren't patricians, but they nevertheless have a greedy, commercial bent to them that drives them to boost their economy to levels rivaling that of Merchant republics. How do they do this without trade posts? Well, essentially, as a Rozhan, you will be concentrating on building and upgrading your holdings -- The Rozhans come from a somewhat more technologically advanced culture (at least in terms of commerce and infrastructure), and they are well aware that the wealth of a nobleman comes not from engaging in crude transactions, but by building up the prosperity of your realm and then taxing the wealth of your subjects. I'll be making their tech tree more straightforward. Essentially, there are two main routes: Marketplaces and Government Offices. Each level of marketplace upgrade will add a flat bonus tax income, while each level of government offices will add a tax multiplier. However, each level of the upgrades will cost significantly more than the previous one. This rising build cost can be ameliorated by constructing Survey Offices and upgrading them. Hence, you will need to balance reinvestment of your wealth into basic upgrades for your marketplaces, improving the cash flow through increasing infrastructure and administration, and building construction and survey offices to reduce costs. A caveat: the increasing wealth and prosperity that you attract to your castle cities will make your population progressively more indolent and averse to war. This is reflected in that each level of marketplace and infrastructure upgrades will actually reduce morale or fort level. Rozhans can become truly prosperous even with a small demesne, but beware of the military costs!

I just found out you can right-click a holding and generate a vassal for it. That saves a lot of time after winning a Norse holy war and I have dozens of cities and temples to give out. I still hand-pick anyone Count or above, but I don't really care what attributes my mayors have.

Or better still, a checkbox just like the "stop all plots" checkbox that just automatically tries to ransom every prisoner you get, and releases the prisoner if you can't get any cash for them. The "release/execute/ransom all" button in HIP is actually pretty smart about this. I once had about 50 people in my dungeon after a civil war and a crusade (goddamn those Muslims have a lot of kids you can capture) and the "ransom all" tooltip only included the people I captured during the crusade: i.e. the people whose ransom money I care about more than their opinion of me. The traitors I release one at a time over the course of a few years. Once the "merciful" relationship bonus on the rest of my vassals wears off, I find the vassal in my dungeon with the highest opinion of me and release him. Not only does every vassal in my realm get an immediate +5 to +15 of me, the one I also just released gets that nasty -50 Imprisoned penalty taken off in addition to the merciful bonus. As far as I know, the merciful bonus doesn't stack, so there's no point releasing more than one vassal at once unless I need their levies. And if you're that BITCH bastard daughter of mine who assassinated my Genius trueborn daughter/heir, you get thrown in the oubliette at age 24 until you die there at age 67. Forty years in a literal hole in the ground was still too good for her.  If they're a noble with a claim that a powerful faction is backing, then they get their head chopped off. Sorry, pal. Religious/peasant revolt leaders I usually forget about until my court gets big enough to affect my fertility, and then it's Ilyn Payne time because who cares.

I ripped the release/execute/ransom all buttons out for Elder Kings for use with Vanilla. I'm not sure if the implementation is different from the HIP one though, if that one's better I could rip out that one instead. You could probably merge it with any mod you wanted to pretty easily.

What's the fastest way to convert your kingdom to a specific religion? I've got Abyssinia and Egypt under my name and most of my vassals are Miaphysites. The Muslim decadence mechanic was an interesting challenge at first but now that my dynasty is approaching 200 live members I just don't want to deal with it anymore. On a side note, how do you deal with decadence once you've gotten sufficiently large enough and there's no easy targets to holy war against?

If you can't convert with a decision, you can set an heir to be educated by a vassal of your target religion, and they might convert. The chances go up with the zealous and gregarious traits (although that heir might not get the best education)

Zealous seems to really gently caress up education even if the tutor in question is a Genius with awesome stats and traits otherwise. I mean the stats will usually turn out pretty well but the child always ends up with few and mostly lovely traits if the tutor is Zealous. I guess because a Zealous tutor is constantly picking the "Praise Jesus!" option on all the education events to pick up an extra 10 piety for themselves?

Counterpoint: The Zealous trait loving owns. But yeah, it's probably not worth using tutors with it. It's great if you got it yourself and can pass it on to your heir, though.
