Crusade for Constantinople - Holy Fury

[The Goldfinch]

Hello

Does anybody possessing this dlc Holy Fury know, if its possible to gain Latin Empire title when Crusade for Constantinople succeeds?

And, more importantly, what are the exact conditions for the fourth crusade event to occur?

Thank you

I don't know about the conditions unfortunately, But as for the title, all that has to be done is to be the leading crusader in terms of contributing to the war, Once your beneficiary gets their title as latin emperor or empress (mine was empress) you'll get the option to switch over and play as them instead. You'll also get a free bloodline too.

Hope this Helps!

It is possible to gain the latin empire title yes, I did this in my kingdom of brittany game. Put my childless uncle on the latin throne and he died rather swiftly allowing me to become latin emperor. (and my character died soon after which led to a long string of civil wars)

The exact conditions are listed on the wiki i think but from memory you need to have a relatively low crusader fund, a byzantine pretender and a merchant republic funding the crusade. These are generally outside of your direct influence I'd assume.

During a crusade, one of the belligerents (some merchant republic for me) changed the target for the Byzantine Empire.
Then it's a normal crusade, but against the Byzantine (much more easy than Arab Empire). You quickly win the crusade and the benefeciaries will create the Latin Empire.n
Then you'll be notified you can switch to your own beneficiary (even though he's/she's not the emperor).

Btw it happened during the 12th century for me so it was pretty much early...

Guys, thank you so much for help

To sum up:
The crusade target has to be changed by a merchant republic?

Btw I did some research but found almost nothing
I'd be much obliged for a link to wiki with all trigger conditions listed

From the start event of the fourth crusade in HF_crusade_events file

Each time a crusade starts, there is a chance the event of the fourth crusade happens depending on the size of the byzantine empire (the bigger the empire, the higher chance)

• 25% if realm_size > 300
• 20% if realm_size > 200
• 15% if realm_size > 100
• 10% if realm_size < 100

does sombody know if you can place your Brother or other close relatives as benefociary so that I can either inherit his title or he mine?

of course, you can as long as he isn't an heir to any title.

If you make sure you get the highest warscore then you can whoever is eligible as a recipient. After that its just a case of someone dying for the title to pass. Or deciding to play as him.

Just had this happen. Doge of Venice changed the crusade target from Jerusalem to Constantinople, but it was to push a claim for some random French/Dutch woman. I managed to gain the most war contributions and received some pretty nice holy swag from the Pope, gained ~4k in piety. The Byzantine Empire has collapsed, and in it's place is the Empress Frankendutch of the small Latin Empire and several independent counts and dukes.
