When I click declare war all that comes up is Conquer Duchy and Conquer County. I have enough prestige, how do I make declare war for my claim pop up?
Bought a claim on the Byzantine Empire, why can't I press it?

There are a number of special requirements for pressing claims against someone of Byzantine culture, and even more against someone who is the emperor of the Byzantine Empire.When I click declare war all that comes up is Conquer Duchy and Conquer County.

The most common issue is the Celibate trait - Celibate rulers cannot press a claim on the Byzantine Empire. If this is your case, abandon celibacy and you'll be able to do it.

I'm not celibate. If there are a bunch of requirements I'll do some googling and try to figure out which I might not meet.There are a number of special requirements for pressing claims against someone of Byzantine culture, and even more against someone who is the emperor of the Byzantine Empire.

Is your character female? Orthodox prevents women from pressing claims on a male character (Even when you have a custom faith).
The standard restrictions for Byzantine targets is:
Code:
NOR = {
has_trait = eunuch
has_trait = devoted
has_trait = celibate
}For the emperor also add:
Code:
NOR = {
has_trait = incapable
has_trait = blind
has_trait = disfigured
has_trait = eunuch
has_trait = maimed
has_trait = one_eyed
has_trait = one_legged
has_trait = clubfooted
has_trait = hunchbacked
has_trait = dwarf
}AFAIK the sex restrictions only apply to third party claims. You can always press your own, personal claims regardless.

If you are pressing an empire level claim of someone else then you need 3000 prestige.

With "buy claim" you cant press a claim on Empire tier titles, or kingdom tier titles, if you have an Empire/Kingdom tier title.
You have a kingdom tier title don't you?

I think a king or emperor can't buy such claim in the first place, but I highly doubt there's a restriction against pressing the claim if you buy it before ranking up to king or emperor.

Correct me if I'm wrong but pressing a claim against an already contested title is not possible, right? Perhaps the byzantines are already being attacked or during a revolt?
Doesn't the game tell you in a pop up when you hover with the mouse over the declare war button why you cannot declare war. I thought it did....

It's supposed to. Sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it won't even let you open up the window - without telling you why either.
