Can't make the Empire of Hispania as a muslim?

[Ciccillo Rre]

I am currently playing a Sunni Andalusian game. I've got most of Iberia, Mauretania, Mali, Africa and the island of Sicily around 1200. I have two kingdom titles (Andalusia and Mali).

I would like to create the Empire of Hispania, but the title creation tooltip says "can only be held by Catholic characters".

Why is it so? Given that one can create Hispania as an Andalusian, I don't see why one couldn't do it as a Muslim as well. After all, at the start of the game most of the peninsula is Andalusian and Sunni, and the issue with the "feeling" would be counterbalanced by the fact that each muslim title gets its own random shield and dynastic name.

How can I possibly mod it? By removing the line 'religion = catholic' in landed_titles.txt?

Confirmed, it's that line in landed titles. Weird, as it usually has no effect on all the other titles.

I formed Hispania starting with the emir of Abaddid with no problem. Are you using the latest patch or some mod?

Ah yes, I am using a mod of my own, but I thought that the line "religion = catholic" was from the vanilla file as well. Instead I added it without knowing its effect. I will remove it, at least for this game.

Thanks for your help!

Huh, odd. I can't Form Hispania with my un-modded game.

You need 2 Kingdom titles to create an empire.

Oh... well that is easily done.

I might as well ask here, lately I have been unable to transfer vassals to kings and dukes, and the result is that I've always had to deal with nasty opinion penalties that I can't do anything about.

As you can see, those who I wish to transfer wont even show up on the list even though they are my vassals.

You can't transfer vassals who are curently at war, that is most likely the problem.

I think that is the only problem! Took me some time to figure that out

Btw you have 100% Decadence? Isn't that very problematic? I really need to try playing as a muslim next.

With the amount of troops I have, not really. It's down to 45 % now though, after some swift family cleansing.

First step when trying to create a title: go to its title screen. Either get there through de jure, or press F and type Hispania, then click on it. Hover over the create button and it'll tell you the requirements.

Hmm, that doesn't seem to be the case

this is really annoying, I've been unable to grant duchies and counties for decades

This problem is solved already, but thank you for the tip about F. I'll use it a lot from now
