For mercenary companies, they can become landed if the person hiring them fails to pay and they decide to declare war on their former employer. Once they are landed, you can force vassalize them or press someone's claim, same as a holy order.

same culture and deju relord of their capital. Hasn't changed as far as i know.
I've tried it diplomatically before. Even though I have 30 times the manpower they do, they'll always refuse due to -10 "power" reasons.
If you are an emperor, you can vassalize holy order by giving them a kingdom title. Not sure if this has been fixed yet.
OK thanks for your responses... using hospitals as a barrier is a pretty good idea. I guess I'll need some hospitals to protect my capital... being coastal+on the silk road is very painful in terms of diseases, and the epidemies often spread from Hormuz or Basra to my capital (Oman) along the coasts... so it would be efficient to protect Hormuz and Basra, and use Julfar or Suhar as a barrier to protect Oman

Hello everyone,
As Catholic King of Italy, I want to be Emperor of Italy which needs Sicily. The problem is Sicily Region is completely owned by Orthodox Byzantine, is there anyway to quickly conquer Sicily?
Claiming county per county is possible, but I think I will need at least 100 years.
Holy War is not available against Orthodox.
Claim duchy and Request Invasion from The Pope only available against fellow Catholic.

Maybe you can find claimants for the duchies composing Sicily.
When you'll get enough counties to form or usurp the Kingdom of Sicily, you'll get the de jure claims.
If you can become emperor before getting Sicily, maybe you can find a claimant for the kingdom of Sicily.
The Kingdom of Sicily Title is not exist.
@CaptainPolyp
Oops, I forgot that that tactic, IIRC I need to give the claimant land so he will not become Independent after I conquer the Duchy right?
One more question: can Catholic Holy Order attack Orthodox enemy?
Yep you'll have to give the claimant at least a barony. Otherwise, unless they're of your dynasty (or your mother) they'll be independent.
If you can find a muslim, heretic (or other) claimant for the kindgom of Sicily, you can help him press his claim and gain the kindgom (he will be independant since same rank as you). Then you can deus vult him for the kingdom.
You can get the kingdom in two wars if there is a claimant from a different religion (if I don't mess up with the CBs targeting other religions).

When I played in India my Buddhist holy order was willing to fight Hindus (and the Hindu holy order was willing to fight me as I found out the hard way), so I expect that a Catholic holy order would be willing to fight an Orthodox enemy.
I'm 90% certain that unless someone has mended the schism Catholic Holy orders do not fight Orthodox armies. I'll test this theory soonish.
They do when they are independent and fighting for themselves or a vassal of the realm that hired them,
..as far as i recall the last changes regarding that.
I just tested it, Holy Order cannot fight Orthodox and Coptic, however they can fight other Catholic Heresy like Cathar (the symbol is red cross).
