[2.4.1 ZXPB] Cannot create the Shiite Caliphate Title

[Horica666]

Not sure if anyone else has gotten this issue, but I have noticed that I cannot create the Shiite Caliphate title. The file I tried this with was the Shiite Fatimids in the Charlemange bookmark. Gave myself territory in Egypt and then rebelled against the Sultan of Egypt to gain his title then rebelled against the Abbasids to gain independence. Yet for some reason, cannot form the Shiite Caliph title. Gave myself all the requirements and got nothing.

I tried another file as the Umayyads, same issue here. This is when I noticed, for the second time, that when the Rise of the Shia Caliphate event happens, when the pretender is victorious, they only gain the title they win and not the Caliph title. I tried the Ibadi Caliph title as the Umayyads; relatively same requirements, if not exact, and managed to create that.

Any reason why the Shiite Caliph title cannot be formed?

Same issue here: I have all requirements but the title cannot be created. Also, the tooltip has some text alignment issues (imgur seems to be having issues at the moment so I can't provide a screenshot).

The Beta patchnotes mentioned something about fixing Shiia uprisings not creating the title and I thought the problems might be somehow related... but I cannot create the title in the Beta either.

The beta notes mention that the Shia Caliph title can be properly claimed as a result of a victorious uprising. Yet it doesn't mention anything involving a manual creation of the title by the player before or after the event. I just plainly can't create it. I may try a later start date though and see if anything changes.

Edit: Nope same issue even later on.

The sunni caliphate is also uncreateable once destroyed. Loaded up CM with Abbassid caliph and destroyed caliphate, couldn't recreate it, despite meeting all requirements.

 

[Horica666]

That's odd. I can easily create the Ibadi Caliphate title and that title has almost exact, if not exact, requirements for the Sunni and Shia counterparts.

You need to go into your save file and remove the active=no line under the d_shiite section, then you can create it. The game seems to put it there as a result of the title recently having had a holder.
If you're playing ironman you're out of luck.

Known issue, this issue will be fixed for an upcoming patch.

Thanks for the report.

You are welcome, Rageair!

And thank you for quick fix, Xaelyn

Do you know if this issue also applies to other titular duchies? I've had similar issues being unable to form Socotra or Gotland (Visby now, I guess).
