Crusader Kings II ~ Quick Answers

[Ruisuki]

I don't know of any way to influence a neighboring realm to abandon its controlled realm inheritance law. But you can always aim higher, try to inherit the whole realm.

Yeah I have my daughter betrothed to a king right now. The plan is to land her as queen right before she turns 16 then they will get married have a kid, and then my daughter suffers an accident. Then her husband does. And thus I take the kingdom when the grandfather dies. But its a problem if the father refuses to die for 40 years as has happened before. In between that time the AI usually passes regulated inheritance. I really feel there should be a way to influence law changes in foreign realms, ideally through civil war. Sow dissent rarely helps and even if it does no guarantee any factions would spawn from it. I am assuming war to increase council power wouldn't do anything to help with this. Not sure if any civil war would?

Just be aware you need absolute cognatic in order to grant land to women, well, unless she is already landed.

Its gonna take some 20 odd years for me to give women rights at this rate, so im planning on converting to cathar. That should bypass the law requirements yeah? My heir is already a lvl 4 herald in the secret cult

my councilor left my court as soon as his wife died. hes an heir to a republic but didnt inherit. not only was he a 90 opinion loyalist but when he left he had an opinion malus against me 'fired me' when he left on his own. WAD or bug?

Yes it does.

Were they matrialinnealy married?

 

[Ruisuki]

so i used a favor to invite the daughter of the chinese emperor to my court. her husband had died. unlike most other times ive invited people using favors, she brought the children with her. this has never happened to me before. why is this? Is it because they arent heirs to anything (she just married a commander, oddly enough) and in the same court as her? Because usually the kids stay home when i invite people with kids using favors, as opposed to normal diplomatic action

Yes it does.

Were they matrialinnealy married?

Cool thank you. Oh and no it was patri marriage.

 

[SaphireSeas]

That sounds bizarre. If nothing else is happening, it might be.

heres a pic for posterity. guy is an heir, high opinion, was patri married to his dead wife, and former councilor. Still left. No mods.

OT but his new wife is the chinese princess i mentioned

The law requirements, yes. But you will still need to become absolute cognatic, meaning you'd need everyone to like you, at peace, ruled for 10 years.

Or at least that's what I would presume.

He's still young enough (until 23 i believe) to have left for one of his parents court after his wife died. Normal.

I can't seem to wage wars anymore without facing all the members of a defensive pact.

In the past, whenever AI had defensive pacts against me with countless members, I'd bethroth a family member into my target's family in order to get them out of the defensive pact and into a Non-aggression Pact. Then I'd break the betrothal and immediately wage war before they join a defensive pact again.

^^ I can't do this anymore!

Now, when I break a betrothal, the Declare War button is greyed out, with a condition saying along the lines of Must not be in a NAP with xyz. This is after I've broken the betrothal and left the NAP. Just to make sure, I check the Pacts tab, and it confirms the target doesn't have any NAP with me.

What is this?

I was getting frustrated so started a war anyways against the pact members. I had 100K army and most of Europe and Africa.. but I still got raped sideways.

I started as a Bon character, I then switched to Buddhism secretly. I later renounced my secret religion so now I'm Buddhist and I didn't lose any piety or prestige. Is this WAD? Seems like a backhanded way to switch religion.

?
IF you had renounced Buddhism (your secret religion), then you should be Bon now.

My real religion is Bon and I switched to Buddhism (keeping Bon secret) - so everyone now thinks I'm Buddhist. I can now do everything a Buddhist can do (like Guru, etc...). I then right clicked and removed Bon so I'm a full-fledged Buddhist, with not prestige/piety loss.

Is there a way to see the Enforce Peace timer - the one that prevents you from declaring war?

 

[Ruisuki]

at the top there should be an icon no? hovering over doesnt let you know how long it takes? IIRC enforcing peace can only be done if the council is empowered anyone confirm?

That's just the countdown timer that goes away once peace is enforced. There's a five year period after that where you can't declare wars - I'd like to know when that period ends. Right now I'm pressing declare war at the start of each month to check. Per the wiki, the council must be empowered in order to Enforce Peace.

I'm a count with a claim on the duchy and have an alliance with a king in the realm. The king and duke don't have a pact and they don't have a liege-vassal relationship. Why does the king not show up as callable ally in the declare war screen?
