You can give out duchies and as long as you tick the "include lower titles" box it'll give them all of the counties and baronies under it.

Chriiisttt, the new beta patch has overdone it a little bit. They really didn't need the strong "not on the council" malus and seeing as the base state for now seems to be "all hate all the time" inheriting hateful maluses combined with short-reign (which seems to have been lessened?) means that you are extra hosed ON TOP of a discontent council that almost right away seeks your death. I mean, how the hell does it even say who is a strong vassal? None of these fuckers are individually super strong, but they all seem to think that they're "strong vassals". If they're going to have literally every duke want to be on the council, there needs something more than just an advisor title. Also: Why does the Ibadi caliph have to be sayyid? It is literally impossible to get that trait as any of the starting Ibadi, barring some supremely game-y poo poo. The closest you can get is if you start as the dudes on the corner, swear fealty, conquest into Mecca/Medina then go independent. I suppose you could also engage in religious shenanigans; convert to a matrimarry faith, invite a sayyid, then get the kid in, probs simplest through going republican. Also, for fucks sake, if they're going to keep in a tedious goddamn mechanic like diplomatic distance, they should at least let you filter the assholes you can't interact with away. This is really frustrating because though the Kingdom of Ireland is now in control of a decent chunk of Scotland, most of Wales and parts of England, Ibadi is doing awful, which is pretty annoying as it's probably the most resurgent religion around right now. Solemn Sloth posted:So this is my first time playing through a decent chunk as a catholic power, and hence first time winning a crusade. Also give every member of you dynasty a county at least. Gotta up that score!

Solemn Sloth posted:What's my best bet? I'm guessing allowing my steward to automatically do everything is a big mistake because he will no doubt gently caress it all up. This is correct, never ever do this and it's retarded that this "feature" was ever added to the game. You can just assign all the titles in a de jure duchy to the new duke you're appointing and let him sort them out. Though if you're worried about having overpowerful vassal dukes you can take the time to hand out each county individually so that each duke only has one county of his own. They'll revoke the others over the next 10-20 years anyway but at least their ability to challenge you will be slowed while they're consolidating their own demesnes. It's also a good chance to make sure every male dynasty member in the world is either holding a title or no worse than second in line to one. This does require a good deal of micromanaging slog, though, to ensure you don't accidentally set someone up to be only a couple "accidents" away from a tripledukedom and enough power to seriously challenge you for the throne. Or if you're powerful enough to never have to give a poo poo what your vassals think of you, which since you just won a crusade you very well might be, you can just click the "include lower titles" box when handing out duchies, let the dukes sort out their own realms and be done in about 5 minutes. Just bear in mind you're going to have to defend against a jihad in about 3 years once all the Muslims' levies have refilled so you should be ready for that. e: f;b on just about everything I said

Seriously. This and a "will this character come to my court?" button (in the character finder; it exists when you're looking through lists of claimants to a title) have been obvious missing features since Day One and it's baffling that Paradox has never shown any interest in adding them. Of course I've never seen a mod for them either so maybe they're extraordinarily difficult to code in ways that I am not smart enough to understand.

If you're debating save editing to change something, just use the console. Much easier and it takes effect immediately.

Save editing is pretty easy, just make sure the save is uncompressed and notepad (or better yet, notepad++) can open it. I mostly use it to change characters' names when I notice some dynasty member born outside my court was given a stupid name (yes I'm picky about names okay shut up). Most everything else can be done with the console. Assigning a Caliph title to a character prrrrrobably can be done via save file editing but it's probably complicated. I imagine the console could do it more easily.

Im in ironman, me and the console are old buddies at this point. The save I opened just had gibberish though, that mean its compressed? Tbh, all Id do would be to give mychar sayyid, as that lets me form the title naturally. Tbh, I can deffo see it as a possible event, so that non-sunni with a shotload of piety might form the title via event. Have it happen for king and above and it would help boost the various varieties if Islam.

Ironman saves are automatically compressed and you can't edit the savefiles. If you're not in ironman you can uncheck a box to make it save uncompressed. Throw off the shackles of cheevos! Learn to stop worrying and love to cheat.

Ehhhhh, if it's a hassle, I'm just gonna try and gently caress around to get it. Still a bit sore, because getting that 1000 piety meant that I had to run 4 simultaneous holy wars, while fighting off pretty much all the British Isles, only to then find out that it just means that I have a shitload of very marginal land. I guess I'll just make the Empire of Mali instead, as consolation, before revoking my two vassals which last time ended up becoming the Jewish and West-African rival patricians. Though, I am still sorta tempted to do that; it's definitely tempting to have them hang around and possibly make a nuisance of themselves later... Anyway, my problem with the console is that I think of all the cool exciting things I can do, like dividing all of the Arabian empire into different calpihs, turning India into a series of Zoroastrian merchant republics, having the Aztecs invade at game start or making all of Western Europe Finnish Pagan, while the cold tribal north is turned into the last haven of christianity. Some of those were extra great when great holy wars triggered very quickly after you hosed around with religions. Fraticelli India vs Catholic Eurasia vs Reformed Finnish Pagans vs Yazidi Persians vs Zun Africa was all good stuff. It's just that then you just spent 3 hours getting all working, only to then realize you don't wanna play right now and end up doing something else. Thank gently caress for alt-tabbing.

AFAIK, their hireable holy order army will get bigger the more land they have, and when they join wars they are a bigger help. At least when my Jomsvikings went on a conquering spree in the Baltics, they always offered to join everyone's defensive holy wars with a huge angry viking stack.

I think it's just your X biggest vassals based on amount of territory they own, even if they own a pittance compared to you. Maybe, just maybe, the Ibadi caliphate is intended to be difficult to form? If the Sayyid condition was easy then there would be no reason to ever bother with the territory conditions (though it was probably much easier when Ibadi was just a heresy and therefore easy to swap to). Take some time, build up a strong kingdom, and go for it. CKII covers a pretty long time period now, I wouldn't worry about running out! If you're really intent on forming the Ibadi caliphate right out of the gate, just use the Ruler Designer to create yourself a Sayyid character. Then boom, just grind up Piety and you've got the Ibadi caliphate with virtually no effort expended!

It means that there's no natural way to form it if you're on the other side. It's the same with the Kharjiites; they have pretty much nothing to do with Damascus, Baghdad and Jerusalem, yet you have to control them to create the Caliphate. It's pretty sad when the only way to form it is so unnatural to the game otherwise.

Problem is that it's not just difficult, it's historically inaccurate. One of the doctrinal differences between the Ibadis and the other sects is that the Ibadis DON'T believe that the caliph has to be a descendant of Muhammad or from the Quraysh tribe, so requiring an Ibadi to have Sayyid in order to form the caliphate just seems wrong.
