Character Stuck as Mayor

[Khezef]

I created a new republic by making a city into the capital and gave it to a character. Then I revoked it with console. Now that character is permanently stuck in mayor mode, If I give them a barony they are still always "Lord Mayor". I tried giving and revoking a regular barony and county with both diplo revoke and console revoke, but neither reverses what happens. What can I do?

If you want to switch the capital holding of that particular province, you'll have to (95% certain of this, always leave a little doubt!):

1. Revoke the city.
2. Own a castle barony
3. Right click the owned castle barony and "Make Capital"

What were you trying to do with the console?

No I can switch the capital of a county just fine, but the character itself is somehow marked as a mayor. If I give them a regular county with a barony capital they are still "lord mayor" with those ribbons around their portrait. It's something to do with the character file, but I don't know how to reverse it.

Use a console command on the character.

set_government <Government Tag> <Character ID>

For government tag use feudal_government
I don't know an in game way to do it.

Once a character gains a government type, they're stuck with it for life. Mayors will never be Barons and vice versa, even if you revoke their original title and give them a new one.
