If that event pops for Catharism instead of Lollardism then you can use that to go full cognatic gender law, if memory serves Incidentally I get offered the useless heresies a LOT more often than the useful ones. So much so that I don't think it could possibly just be random chance. Fracitelli in particular I hardly ever see.

I thought I'd try playing as a vassal so I did this game as a count in East Francia in 867, as a vassal to a duke there. By 872 I was granted a duchy, and in 877 the HRE has formed. Now I might be able to elect myself Kaiser while still on my first character.

I started as the independent count of Capua, became Duke of Capua and wanted to grow by myself for a while. But then HRE took Italy and the Bizzantines took Sicily and I didnt have anywhere else to expand. So I joined HRE and after a while someone started a faction for me (my ruler was the most lovable guy ever), it was pressed and won. I became HRE emperor on my third character, around 930. Bad thing is that the game became boring around 1000 so I just gave up.

I was originally Breton and that's the culture of my people, but my capital is in Wales. And I'm called Wales? Does it matter? I think I want to be Brittany again. How did I do this?

How did I do this? If your two titles are of the same rank (i.e., if both Wales and Brittany are kingdoms) you should be able to change your primary title back to Brittany.

They are the same rank. How do i do this? Also. All those Crown Authorities and the rest of the laws. What should I be aiming for with them. Currently they are all small/normal but a High Crown Authority, but I don't really know.

I've got a question about the EUIV converter: I remember reading that it was possible to set what realm converts to the HRE, but can't recall the procedure. Can't seem to find it by googling, either. Can anyone give me a rundown of how to do this, or a link to an explanation?

OK cool, done, I'm now Brittany again. Last one. I used to be 8/8 for dumench butbive dropped to a max of 5 again and I can't work out why, after changing ruler. Is it because my brothers are the dukes of regions I gave away?

Your demesne cap is determined by: 1) your rank as a ruler (Emperor > King > MultiDuke > Duke > Count) 2) your ruler's stewardship score (plus half their spouse's - not sure if steward's matters but I don't think so.) 3) Legalism tech level in your capital 4) possibly something here I've forgotten So my best guess as to the drop in your cap is that your new ruler has utter poo poo for a stewardship score.

You don't get a bigger demesne cap for holding multiple kingdoms over holding one, that only happens for duchies. Oh, yeah, Gavelkind succession also gives a bonus to your demesne cap.

Make sure you're not holding on to any baronies you don't need, because they're fairly useless to personally hold, as far as I know. Either that, or divorce your wife and start trolling for those stewardship shawties.

Na holding multiple baronies in your capital is better than holding multiple counties. You get a bonus from in being the capital plus the marshal and steward bonuses apply the all your holding in the county. Plus easier tech management.

Holding baronies is usually pointless unless you are doing a single province demense style. If you have one of those 8 holding provinces and build a ton of castles there, holding the county and all of those castles allows you to sit your marshal/steward there and get ridiculous amounts of troops and taxes. That takes up pretty much your entire demesne cap though, and it's usually inferior to just holding 6 or whatever counties in the long run(if those counties also have a high number of holdings and result in your having a -lot- of direct vassals, although Charlemagne may nerf that I guess).

I decided to try my hand as Otto, Duke of Saxony in the Old Gods start, and it's a cataclysmic mess ten years in. First, Charles of West Francia won a lightning war for the East Francian throne. This pissed off us vassals and some of us demanded Charles give the West Francian throne to the deposed King of East Francia, Ludwig the German. Charles accepted. So a few years in, Charles the Frank is King of East Francia and Ludwig the German is King of West Francia. It gets better! I join an independence faction because the foreigner penalties mean everyone hates their new king. Two revolts begin simultaneously: a revolt to put Ludwig back on the East Francian throne, and an independence revolt. Ludwig gets the East Francian throne back and that revolting faction becomes East Francia. They crush our independence revolt with help from the King of Lotharingia. Then Ludwig the German dies so Ludwig the Younger is King of East Francia. Meanwhile, the King of Bavaria has absorbed West Francia so that he's now King in both realms and a Kingdom of West Francia no longer exists. It's only 876. Edit: I found Charles the Bald. He's now Count of Orleans and Baden and a vassal of Ludwig, the King of East Francia. Edit 2: Now Louis of Aquitaine is my liege and he added the lands of East Francia to his realm.

I started as an Andalusian duchess of Provence in 1066. It is now 1328, and I am the Sultan of Burgundy. I may not have spread territorially (I like playing smaller powers), by my dynasty has spread far and wide. This picture is from 1328, just after my dynasty came into possession of the Byzantine Empire.  You'll notice that my family rules not only sits on the throne of Byzantium, but the Holy Roman Empire. Denmark used to be, but eventually the Hvides came into power. However! Denmark is pretty Andalusia-fied, and the Andalusian Hvides are sitting in Sweden too. Also of note, Hispania and England are held by an English Empress, who is married to the King of Britanny, so when she kicks it, her Breton daughter takes over. Also, Norrland is still Norse and independent.

Is there a custom map that cuts the game back to pre-ROI? I'd rather opt into India, to be honest that area of the game tends to have little to no bearing on what goes on in Europe. The slowdown lategame is a tad bit frustrating. I'd even cut out Mali if I could, that's another deadzone that has no relevance on the wider game.

If you're playing CK2+, there's apparently a submod that cuts out India and parts of Africa, so I _imagine_ it wouldn't be too hard to do it for vanilla too.

Is there a cap to how many tech points you can bank? I'm trying to save all mine until I move my capital to London(well whatever the castle is at least) after forming Brittania or at least getting the holding county. I'm sitting on almost 800 at this point in every category.

I was up to 1100 points in each category by the time I took London which allowed me to jump to tech 4 military strategy tech 4 legalism and tech whatever keeps and castles. It seems to have been a valid plan.

High crown laws prevents foreign rulers from inheriting your lands. But if a count or duke already holds lands in your realm and then inherits a higher title outside, you will still lose these counties.

I am concerned Charlemagne may gently caress with the mod pretty badly but optimistic it could add a ton of awesome stuff to it as well.
