Choosing who does the coronation?

[Cerce]

Hey devs, can we get an ability to appoint/designate whoever does the coronation for kings/empires? Or, at least, can we give preference to higher-tier bishops/priests to request to perform it first? I find it a little odd that the High Priest of the Slavic Faith, who is also my designated regent, doesn't get to crown me or ask to crown me before joe shmoe from Perm does.

Maybe it could just default first to your court chaplain instead of having an extra minor title to assign?

Yeah that'd work for me.

I would also offer in priority to cardinals and archbishops, rather than some bishop in the middle of nowhere.

Just tried it by giving the High Priest of the Slavic faith court chaplain and even designated him as lucky ruler and cup bearer as well as his already held title of Regent, and even threw him the duchy of Kuyavia to boot. He still does not get preference over any random priest, which I find part funny and part disappointing.

Like, you got guys over in Polish Khiva going "HOLY SHIT I should do the Emperor's coronation, even though he's all the way over in Krakow!" while my next-door-neighbor of a High Priest doesn't even think of trying. "Eh, there's a new Emperor every 50 years, I'll get the next one" as he sits there at the ripe old age of 73.

Ha this would be great too for when I'm the demonspawn possessed Byz emperor. Ofc I knew my Orthodox ecumenical patriarch would refuse to crown me, but I figured when I had him locked up for treason I would be able to get my way but sadly not...

So yeah, would be great to manually choose someone else if the event-default character refuses to coronate you (w/ vassal opinion penalty most likely for a "false" coronation)

The event that prompts a bishop to ask does give preference to those of higher tier, but ultimately it's up to the RNG.

Altering it could be done, but quite frankly I have more important things on my plate, so the chances of me looking at this anytime soon are pretty slim.
