Am I missing something or can English units crossing the strait to the Ulster province not be blocked by naval units?
Navies can't block anything, in any form. They're purely for moving ground troops around at very very very fast speeds.

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.
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. :sad:
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.There was an exploity thing, where someone held all county capitals (and duchies and kingdoms) for himself as ERE. No taxes due to all 4 criminal buildings in every province, but mayors (and bishops/barons, but most of all mayors) still earned cash, so he'd just imprison-banish them for cash regularly, use the obscene amounts of gold to keep a standing army to put down constant peasant rebellions (due to the 4 criminal buildings). May have been more to it, but that was the main point.
Edit: Also, I don't baron-level landowners ever rebel, regardless of type. Plots, maybe.
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.
Only the Dukes of Germany. (Lothrangia,Frisia,Bavaria, Germany) and Bohemia are allowed to elect the HRE Emperor. All others are not allowed. Your best bet is to gain independence. Change your succesion law and then Create Kingdom of Burgundy.
Thank you!
You don't need to leave the HRE to form the kingdom of Burgundy, because your liege lord is Emperor-tier: he can have King vassals. Just acquire 50% of the counties in Burgundy and create the title.Your best bet is to gain independence. Change your succesion law and then Create Kingdom of Burgundy.
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!
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...
