Crusader Kings II ~ Quick Answers

[Walter Raleigh]

I am a king. A count in another duchy in my realm also owns a county that is in the de jure land of my second personal duchy. How would I go about getting this county to be one of my own personal vassals again?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know, why my stupid sons don't produce any children? One of them has one daughter and that is it, the other one has no children to begin with.

Neither them nor their wifes have any traits that would reduce fertility, one is even lustful and the other has the family focus, but nothing. I even gave them some land, so they move out of my court but the wife of the older son just stayed at my court for some reason.

It's probably simple bad luck. Assuming average base Fertility is 25% and neither parent has any Fertility modifiers, a couple would produce on average one child per 16 years. If the father has an ambition to groom an heir the rate increases to an average of one child per 9 years.

There isn't much you can do other than help your sons fulfill any ambitions they might have other than to groom an heir. There's always the option of picking Seduction focus and making more sons and hoping they have better luck.

Retract vassalage of the count from the duke. Revoke the county from the count and grant it to some lowborn. If your chancellor fabricates a claim on the county your vassals won't even get upset when you revoke it.

Though I really don't see much point in getting that one county as a personal vassal. If you can't own it personally (or don't want to) then it's honestly best if the count is the vassal of one of your dukes. Since the duke doesn't own the county he won't desire the duchy it's part of. And if the count desires the duchy that's not your problem because he's not a direct vassal.

@Walter Raleigh
I'd take a plot to revoke the county after retracting vassalage.

Fertility drop because your court is too big?

Could be, but the at least my younger son has his own court by now and that one is empty.

So he finally did get a son...but also only the one...well, I probably have to savescum if I don't want this game to end soon.

Hello,
How can you destroy the assassins (the society). Do you have to kill all the members for destroying the society or is there another (easier) way?

They could also have naturally low fertility. If you aren't in Ironman, you can check with charinfo.

You can't completely destroy a society.

There was a bug where wives didn't move to their husbands court and thus couldn't have children, but I'm pretty sure they fixed that. Are you playing the latest version?

Also, average base fertility is 50%. Not sure why people are assuming it's 25.

 

[Dragatus]

I made the assumption because 25% is what you have as a base in ruler designer.

Uh, no it isn't. It's 50%, just like it is for born-in-game characters.

 

[Dragatus]

My bad. I must've made the mistake because everything else is 5 and you get +5% Fertility per point, so I multiplied that in my head.

There are scenario where the wife could be also a duchess and have her own court.

Does that impact fertility?

 

[faiuwle]

No, that doesn't affect fertility. It's only the bug that does, for some reason.

Well, it is Steam and I bought all content DLCs...so if the "the latest" version doesn't mean "opted-in beta" it should be the newest.

Well, got two grandsons now, but I can't control them, even though my character was the guardian, the guy became a theologist...at least it is the highest tier, I guess.

I've got CKII installed on a Surface Pro 4 via Steam. Runs fine but the screen resolution is such that the text is tiny and I really can't read it. If I change the screen resolution it doesn't change the font size. I can't see any in game options that allow me to change this, can anyone give me any suggestions ?

Thanks

You could try either the 'Better Readable Font Mod' or the 'Most Readable Font' Mod. I haven't got any experience with either myself, but many people seem to use them with good effect.

you could try this, depending on the resolution:

(it's also on the Workshop)
read the requirements.

Hello,
Is there a way to make the leaning tower event (part of the tower building chain) more likely? 15% city tax in the capital is juicy when you are a MR... (the quarry is already very good).
And by the way, does someone know how much the leaning tower is likely to occur?

 

[Rydelfox]

Checking the code, it looks like a flat 2% chance. Nothing modifies it.

Can assassination events fire if the target is leading troops in battle?
