Can your fellow vassals in the same realm raid you? They're reformed Germanic.

Can your fellow vassals in the same realm raid you? They're reformed Germanic.

You cannot be hostile to your liege and vice versa.

Short answer, no.

Ok everybody, I want to invade China.

As far as I know, when you choose to invade, the troops that China will spawn are almost 150% of your army size. Is that correct? If that is true, I was thinking about some strategies to deal with that:

My empire has some duchy titles waiting to be created. When the right moment appears, before the declaration of war, I was thinking in create 6 or 7 duchies. So, I will get the "Too many held duchies" penalty (close to -70 opinion of vassals). This will reduce my army size considerably since the vassals will be unhappy. Then, with this penalty I'll declare the invasion, wait to China spawn their troops and then give these duchies to my vassals and bribe them too, so I'll recover my entire army size and have to deal with a chinese army significantly smaller. Is that a good and effective strategy (although not very honorable)?

That strategy probably won't work as well as you think. I'd personally just hold onto the money and hire mercenaries instead. Mercs aren't factored into the mix till you hire them anyways, and playing in a China accessible area would end up giving you access to mercenary types with quite a few special troops, like horse archers, and rarely, elephants.

Are there any functional differences between creating a titular kingdom and creating a custom kingdom.

Are there any functional differences between creating a titular kingdom and creating a custom kingdom.

If any of your owned duchies are in a non-existent de jure kingdom when you form a custom kingdom, they immediately become part of your custom kingdom. For example, if you own Manaw, Gwynedd, and Ulster and somebody holds Wales and Scotland, then Ulster will immediately transistion into your custom kingdom, but Manaw and Gwynedd will remain in Scotland and Wales respectively. That doesn't happen if you create a regular titular kingdom.

I'm interested why Ruler Designer not keep cosmetic changes to custom characters such as headgears, because I've want my character a lady with cool Viking helmet, instead she keep pre-set Norse headgear and facial features, is something wrong because I can change name, culture, traits and give children, all works perfectly and flawless

The headgear is based on your character's title and other in-game factors. She'll put a helmet on when she goes off to war, same as everyone else.

If you're trying to get certain WoL events to fire being your liege's councillor will usually prevent that?

War not ending -

Had a bit of a civil war kick off in my empire, led by a pushy little count in Ireland.
I've won multiple 10k vs 7k battles, unsieged all my own land, sieged a few counties belonging to my miserable traitor underlings and am at 100% warscore.
It won't let me end the war though because "none of the territory of the leader of the rebellion is occupied by Duke Someone or Other".
Well, no. It's occupied by me! Anything I can do here? I'm bleeding cash and I need these shenanigans to end.

Thank you!

Figure out who else the rebellion is fighting, and go siege the lands they have occupied.

Ok, will do. Hopefully before I go bankrupt!
Thank you.

Didn't have time yet to wander across my empire to do the unsieging yet, but I did manage to capture the leader of the rebellion. Which still didn't end the war!
Is that normal?

Yeah, though if you execute him, you might cause the rebellion to evaporate. Depends on what, exactly, the rebellion is about.

Imprisoning the leader of the Rebellion is auto 100% warscore, You still need to make peace. If it's a claimant war, executing the claimant will probably end the war inconclusively, but otherwise the only way to end the war is to make peace.
And you can't make peace if your rebellion is occupied by foreign invaders.

Was there a period when Turkestan (or kingdom with this coat of arm) was a titular kingdom? Or maybe I remember i wrong? I remember once creating it as titular, some time ago. Did the kingdoms in Central Asia have other names and coats before (a few patches ago)? Were there any titular kingdoms in this region?I have not found information about it on the internet.

I don't know specifics, but the Jade Dragon patch moved stuff throughout the Persian Empire.

I'm playing as a frail character. Why do some of my courtiers have -5 attitude for "Liege is frail", some -5 for "Attraction to frail", and some have both?

In general, Attraction opinion (Attraction to) is for people who may actually be physically attracted to your character (generally the opposite gender), while "liege is" is for all vassals and courtiers.
