Question about voting in HRE:
I a Duchess of Toscana. I got an option once to vote for the heir of Duchy of Ferrara but don;t know how to go back and change my vote. In fact I can not find it anywhere to investigate what I can vote on.
Nicknames-How to get something other than the "Great"? I'm tired of Greats on my 5th in 13 kings.
I think you need to get some negative traits.
I've had: Fat, Viscous, Cruel, and Wise
Fat was from Gluttonous
Viscous was Tyranny I think
Cruel form cruelty trait
Wise from high scholar I believe
I would think you are building your heirs nice and proper so always getting Great![]()
What exactly are the requirements to be allowed to vote in the HRE? I became Duke of Upper Burgundy, de-jure Kingdom of Burgundy. My sucession law is yet unusual, since I still have the Elected Sucession in my duchy after the Emperor created the duchy and handed it over to me. Maybe I cannot be elector in two realms, my duchy and my empire? I don't see a reason why I am not allowed to vote.![]()
Ah, and their opinion of you doesn't matter since you simply take what they refuse to give you anyway... Sounds intriguing but too much micro, someone else can try it. I'm not a min/max player at all. I'll play for a realm where my vassals happily send me half their income, and to keep the clickfest limited to the (rare) succession and (frequent) expansion wars. Thank you for the explanation.

Exactly how does voting in elective work? In my current game, I have several of Aquitaine's dukes with +100 relationship with me who still will vote for someone other than my candidate.

It is not a formula that's really known by us mere mortals. Relations is probably part of the formula, but not all. Dynasty probably figures in, as well as marriages maybe. The incumbent usually does win the lion's share. I also guess that your candidate's traits and stats would very well figure in, with probably MIL and DIP playing a big role in who is a good candidate.

Expansion #1: Lord of the Manor - Manage Your Demesne ("The Republic" DLC required)
Expansion #2: Courts and Titles - Knighthood, Chivalry, and All That (A "Legacy of Rome" add-on)
Diplomacy seems key. Even with 100 opinion vassals, a 29 diplomacy duke can sometimes be a threat to your 4-year-old son's succession.
As to the nickname question: go to your CK2 folder (e.g. program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/crusader kings ii/) and open the common folder. Inside is a nicknames.txt, which has a list of nicknames along with their requirements and their chances. I still almost always see the great; you can modify the chances if you'd like. More "the just," "the kind," "the wise," "the good," "the noble," "the bold," "the strong" etc. would be cool.

Newb needs advice...
So I have Ireland, have the kingdom, and the like. I also have some problems...
I don't know what to do now, every so often I get a succession war, (I've switched to primo-gentor. As a king i'm not sure what would be considered my principle title for gravelind. Hate to see a king without a demense!) Wales, Scotland etc have no independents. I can't get more 2700 troops out of my demanse. Certainly not enough to fight Scotland (Who owns have of Spain due to winning an crusade!) or England. The last remaining welsh independent is lock in perpetual war with an english earl.
SO where do I go from here? I can't imagine I can be stronger through development of my little ireland? Desperately waiting for castle structures level 2.... need more heavy cav!

Primogeniture is a good choice if you have many sons, but don't land your younger ones! That's a surefire way to get succession crises. With gavelkind, exactly how the titles are divided is a bit of a matter of debate, but your firstborn will gain at least 1 duchy and 1 county. As for who to attack, you could try expanding your realm peacefully through marriage (and assassination if necessary,) attack some weaker Muslims or pagans, or wait for one of your nearby enemies to get into a civil war, and strike then.
A quick question: When, if ever, should I assault a holding instead of waiting for my siege to break the morale of the defenders?
I remember having done it once, where I lost a huge amount of levies...
How to get the information about gaining new trait?
For example, my 12-yers-old son gain gain "illness" and NO information about it? I cannot find any option in message settings about it.
