How can you expand as a vassal when your emperor has the No war declaration law ? Is there a way to repell it ?

A favor with your liege would let you initiate a council vote- otherwise you're more or less going to have to sit tight and rely on inheritances to expand. The Byzantine Emperor I find is kinda fond of enacting this law, though the AI vassals are somewhat smart enough to realize that it's in their best interest to repeal it.

Probably most common problem in CK2 :D - Gavelkind. So my question is why "title loss" sometimes break my country and sometimes not? I had succecions where I lost some titles, but they remained in my realm as a vassals, other time my kingdom splits in two between my sons.

Two possible reasons:
  • Since one cannot have one vassal of the same rank as oneself, if you have multiple titles of the same rank (say, the Duchy of Mide and the Duchy of Ulaidh), your sons will become independent rulers.
  • Elective gavelkind has the added property that junior heirs are permitted to go independent during succession even if ranked below the primary heir (but may or may not choose to do so).

I seem to have a problem changing to "Administration" and "Status of Women" laws, even though I meet the requirements, it's possible I miss something obvious. (Conclave DLC) (Legalism lvl 5)
Any help would be appreciated.

I have noticed that Chief of Connachta has small army (company) just staying in one of my province.
I am not at war with this character, also he doesnt have any active wars.
Why does his troops are just standing here?

Judging by the troop composition those look like the event troops tribals can get by paying 500 Prestige. But those are supposed to disappear when your wars end. It might be a bug.

Yea that makes sense. I indeed have now two kingdom titles. I guess there's no way to get rid of one title? All I can do is try to have single heir?

Btw now I think about it, I'm certain I had situation where my junior heir inherited kingdom title, while my main heir inherited only few duchies (back when I had only 1 kingdom title). How the hell that make sense?

He's probably an adventurer, this is the leftover of his company before he conquered Connacht.

An adventurer taking a province early in an Ireland is always a pain in the ass, especially on earlier start dates when you are tribal, but his free troops count as feudal ones.

Hello! I've just started to play the game and I have some problems..
Starting as the count of Auvergne in France, I successfully managed to conquer the county of Limousin and started a war against my duke, the duke of Aquitaine. I won and became duke, but another duke was already in war with my predecessor.. With no money left, I lost my mercenaries and lost the war, losing all that I had except my first county
BUT I'm still independent, only vassal of the king of france.. So I can't dow my count neighbours...
What can I do?Can I become a vassal of the dukes next to me?
Thanks

If your spymaster is a ruler in his own right, you cannot. He'll have to ransom himself.

If he's landed, you can always give him some gold, maybe he's too poor to buy his freedom

If you're already vassalized to the king you can't swear fealty to a duke. You may have to change your approach towards expansion from military to intrigue. You could also try improving relations with the king. If he ever revokes a duchy from a rebellious duke he might give it to you, providing he likes you enough.

Does a County remember its succession laws? I held 6 Counties and one Duchy. All succession laws were Gavelkind, obviously. Then I died and the Counties were split between five sons. Now my character has the Duchy and two Counties with Gavelkind. My eldest brother has Gavelkind too, The next one has Primogeniture, the second youngest has again gavelkind and the youngest hast Seniority. The only way I can understand this is that all those other succession law were instituted by the formal rulers and then remembered. So once again, do Counties remember their succession laws?

I think your brothers changed the succession laws in their counties. As AI rulers they can do that.

Another succession law question: In my game the duke of Apulia created the duchies of Benevento and Calabria and somehow acquired seniority succession (in some order). All three duchies had seniority, I checked. I invited a guy with strong claims on all of them, gave him a barony, and pressed his claim on Calabria (shame there isn't a "press all claims" CB when it's for someone else). I was worried that he would have seniority succession when he became duke and the duchy would just be inherited by the duke of Apulia/etc. again, but when the war ended he had agnatic gavelkind, I'm guessing because the game copied the succession law he had as a baron. So that was fine. The duke of Apulia was killed during the war, and I took a look at his successor and realized that my claimant was his heir according to seniority! So I thought I could just assassinate him after the war and my new duke would peacefully inherit the other two duchies and then I would ask him to change his laws to gavelkind. I checked, after the war the succession law of the other two duchies was seniority. But a few months later they had switched to gavelkind for some reason. There was no revolt, and the guy couldn't have changed succession laws because he had only been duke for like a few months. Did my war somehow change his succession law?
