Conclave DLC My Council Problem

[misterx11]

So I took advantage of the paradox summer sale and bought the DLC Conclave. I started the a new game as the Duke of Toulouse in 769.
But here comes my problem. All my vassals are angry at me (showing their red fist) because they dont have a council seat. So I right clicked on their portraits to find a solution to bring them into my council. At the bottom it says" appoint councillor" but the option is grey. I dont have the requirements to appoint them because I dont have any honorary titels to grant. But here comes the joke. If i hower over the " grant honorary titel" option, the game tells me that this is possible because I have honorary titels to grant. So i did this and granted a vassal the titel "Master of the hunt". Theoretically he should be right now in my council but he doesnt appear there.

Here comes my question. How can i invite my powerful vassals into my council? It seems i dont get the game mechanic of the Conclave DLC.
I appreciate any kind of help and hope I didnt bother your with my beginner question.

It means that you dont have any "Advisor" slots to give them thus get them in the Council.

Advisors despite being members of the Council they count as Honorary titles.

thank you very much for your quick help. How can I change the problem with no "Advisor"? All my vasalls have a position like marshal, steward, etc. So were can I "create" Advisors? Is it under the laws menue and there council? If I let there the council do more things like War declearation, grant/revoke titels, executions the more advisors I get or how does it work?

You have to be a king to use advisors.

Basically you need to decide whether to give council positions to the best-skilled guys, or to the people you can't afford to have hating you.

vassals below counts can't rebel, so it's not a big deal if they hate you.....just less taxes/levies

 

[misterx11]

ah thank you catweaselcrow. So if I play as a vasall( in my case a duke) I cant create a council to have my advisors, right?

 

[catweaselcrow]

your council, as a duke, is the 5 guys....marshal, chancellor, steward, spymaster, chaplain. None of the honary titles you can bestow get a council seat (except regent during a regency).

All your direct vassals will be annoyed if they don't have one of the 5 jobs. So you have 5 jobs to give out....either to someone good at the job, or to one of those angry vassals, who won't be angry if he has a plum job.

 

[misterx11]

thanks for helping me. a last question if you dont mind. Why are then my vassals still angry that they dont have a council seat eventhough everyone of them is either marshal, steward, spymaster, chancellor or chaplain?

 

[catweaselcrow]

If they have one of the 5 jobs, they shouldn't have the -40 "wants seat on council" modifier. They may hate you for other reasons.

 

[misterx11]

here you can see that the -40 modifier is still there eventhough hes in my marshal:S

 

[catweaselcrow]

that's odd. i.e shouldn't be happening.

Only things I can think of is either an outdated mod, or try running time a few days, if you just gave him the job today.

Otherwie it looks like a bug.

 

[misterx11]

most probably a mod because i have restarted the game several times and the game ends with a notification after several in game days that has nothing written on it and i cant click it away.
