He's not zealous, and the decision screen says I need a Hindu province to convert.
And one more additional clarification to this: It's all title based. Titles can have different inheritance laws. The game doesn't track individual duchy laws for multi-dukes, but kingdoms and empires will always keep their own laws.
Also, when I started as Flanders (1066 start, to experiment with this), I couldn't swear fealty to the HRE even though I met all the requirements (I could click the option, but 'Send' would be grayed out, even though all condition checked out). Figuring it was the de jure war on Gent, I waited till they stopped battling over my land, but even then I was unable to change liege. Is there some big thing I'm missing here, or is this a bug?
Why does the holy war casus belli sometimes appear and sometimes doesn't?
That does make sense. Thanks!You can't just "change liege". You'd have to ask your current liege first
How good is the war elephant retinue?
Yeah, that's what Nubian longbows are like, as they don't get the massive volley either. Although if you start losing, you still cause enough causalties that you ca usually retreat, and then walk right back and have a good chance of winning.Based on the game stats, Steel Bow should essentially be Longbowmen with a handful of Elephants thrown in, but it feels like a pretty crappy retinue. Or maybe I just don't play Longbowmen enough and that's what they are actually like. Or maybe it is Massive Longbow Volley that is really making the difference.
Hello,
I've started my first game, picking Munster because they seemed easiest of the Irish lords. Before I crowned myself, I swore fealty to the HRE to have some protection against Scotland and England, both of which looked rather intimidating.
The thing is, to get half of Ireland I used alliances. A few times I lost my army and had to wait for benevolent Estrid and Jimena kings to help me out. However, now that I'm part of the Empire, I can't seem to call on them anymore (nor on any of the other mighty friends I made). Did I lose the ability to call in 'foreign' powers when I swore fealty?
What happens (as a count) if you marry/betrothal your heir to a lady count in a normal marriage? Does he leave for her county? What happens when it is time to play him when your ruler dies?
Also same thing for brothers of your heir, if they marry into other houses (normal marriage)and their wives end up inheriting counties do they come under the control of your dynasty?
Thanks, and when he inherits your counties when you die, does he come back or do you end up playing as someone else?He leaves for the countess's court when they marry, unless he's landed. If he's landed, though, whilst bethrothed, he'll probably break the betrothal and marry a nobody. Heirs are thick.

Can you see in game other religions Moral Authority?
Is there any advantage to you if you lower their MA?
If you take an opposing religions holy site will they prioritise trying to get it back?
I'm thinking of taking Kent which is a Catholic holy site as Norse to lower Catholic MA but not sure if there's a big point and/or if it'll just cause Catholics to constantly declare on me?
