I have a quick question, I am playing a game of CK2 that is also part of an AAR. The king that I have now is amazing, 33 dip, 30 mil, 22 stew, 20 int, and 46 learn. However he is supposed to be a great scientist and adventurer, and I wanted to make him "Vanish without a trace" in game. How would I go about doing that with console commands?
I'm afraid there's no way to do that. The one possibility I can think of is if your wife is a high ranking Satanist and uses Dark Divorce on you, but I don't have M&M to confirm. You'd also need her to be landed so that you can play her and if the game is ironman then that won't work at all.
I suppose it's possible to mod a decision into the game that you can take in order to vanish, but that would be incompatible with ironman games too.

There's no command for that, but most likely for the sake of your story you could probably force him to abstain (try to revoke a title from a baron, then surrender) and then use the move command which would make him appear in a chosen character's court. You could do that a couple of times until he dies and then make up a story as to why he's there. Alternatively, you could always just do the move command once say that he was last seen there and just kill him any way you see fit.

Most likely not- a landed character's is always in his own court or that of his liege's, which is why I mentioned the old trick of abstaining by baron revolt.
Who will tutor my 1 year old character if both my parents are dead? My regent?
Also what is the event that my regent is changed about? Is there like a decision/plot to become regent for unlanded characters at my court? I'm asking because it's very common for my regent to get replaced in all my games

I made a test setup where I designate a particular Duke the regent as the HREmperor. But few day after the HRE needs a regent ( I gave the HRE the incapable trait) and the Dukes steps in as such, but shortly after another Duke or council member steps in as regent without warning or event showing for the former regent. What do I miss? There is no such event in the regency_events.txt where a random Duke or courtier/council member steps in as regent randomly without event message.
Note: I deactivated all DLCs and mods.

It seems that the mechanics for choice of regent is currently hard coded and thus hidden. It is known that the choice depends heavily upon Diplomacy trait as well as opinion with the other Council members, so try again with a gregarious, well loved Diplomatic genius and see how it goes.
Seriously? That totally destroys my plan of modding Regency, when a random high diplomacy dude takes over and I can nothing do about it. Or can I?
You only need to have a valid Secret Religion. Go to your Societies pane and look at all available societies. There should be an option to found a secret religious society.
Been a long time since I played. If you're playing with equality for women (or heaven forfend enatic via some mod, last I heard), does the AI still totally suck at handling it?
I once played a Warrior Empress with numerous Warrior Queens underneath her that I doled out, setting up every roadblock to masculine control I could - female-preferred succession, etc. Almost all of them married patrilineally and within two generations they were 70% male and most of them with agnatic-cognatic.
Which really took the wind out of my sails. Not to mention having to just grab women out of the ether via present debutante (not having the option to get them via more specialized pulls) and hope they weren't totally awful for running a country.

If there is no cult yet you'll need to be a vassal and your liege will have to have a different religion. You then have a decision available to falsely convert. You can then take another decision that creates the secret cult.
I'm not sure what exactly changes if the secret cult already exists, but one option is to simply wait for a member of the socieety to try and convert you. That's a bit slow though and you could also try falsely converting and checking out the societies tab.
With the improvements to the character finder it's now easy to find people willing to join your court though women still face the restriction that they need to be unmarried.
However, I expect the AI is still bad with preserving female rule because it simply wasn't designed for that. The game in general presumes male preference in many of it's systems.
If you want actual equality (or female preference) you'll have to mod the game further. For example add a decision that allows a liege to demand vassals adopt whatever gender law the liege is using, much like lieges can now demand vassals switch to gavelkind succession.
You'll also want to either eliminate the prestige penalty for marrying under your station or set the AI not to care about prestige when arranging marriages. That way female rules will matrilineally marry lowborn men instead of waiting for a chance to matrilineally marry a noble's son of suitable rank, then suddenly realize their biological clock is ticking and get into a regular marriage.
Another thing that could be modded in is to restrict available gender laws for vassals based on the gender law of the top liege. Perhaps make it so vassals can be no more than 1 step away from their direct liege's gender law and no more than 2 steps away from their top liege's gender law.
Finally you could mod the order in which gender laws are listed. Whenever you hand out a duchy or county to someone the new noble will adopt the default gender law, which is the one at the top of the list. And in the unmodded game that is Agnatic-Cognatic. You could switch the order and put True Cognatic at the top, which would make it the new default.
When I invite my vassals to a feast, why do some of them with (very) high opinions of me rudely reject the invitation?
Because in the past vassals with a positive attitude would always accept the invitation and only vassals that really hated you would refuse. Then they changed it so vassals with positive attitudes wouldn't always go to the feast, but they never updated the message to reflect that.
My army doesn't appear to recuperate. Neither my raised army, nor my retinue.
The retinue says 1036 of 5000. I'm not at war, my retinue is in my capital, I have money. It stays at 1036.
I raised my army, went and bashed a few heads. Army is at 6,000 odd of 8,000. It's in my land, I'm still at war, but not in battle. It doesn't rebuild either. Am I doing something wrong? Sort of makes retinues a bit pointless. Cheers!

Do you have retinues set to reinforce? I often turn that off when I go to war to conserve money and sometimes forget to turn it back on afterwards.
I don't know. How would I check that? And would that explain the army too?
That gives me a thought - I did go negative cash once, would that triggered it to stop auto-reinforcing?
