You mean Ragusa is a Duke-level Republic, under the King of Croatia? If so, I don't see how you could possibly transfer it. That function seems to only serve to give vassals more vassals, not the other way around.

I am doing a ERE to roman empire run for the first time, and I've run in to a few things I'm not sure of in relation to merchant republics.

1) I've conquered Venice, but I don't seem to be getting the "incorrect holding" notification. Does Venice have special rules associated with it or something? Should I hang on to it or create a merchant republic?

2) I've created a couple of kingdoms, including Croatia, which I am handing out as vice royalties to keep my vassal limit under 50. However, I can't seem to transfer Ragusa from the Croatian crown to being a direct vassal of mine. It controls quite a few trade zones, so I'd like to cash in. Am I missing something or is it not possible to transfer it? To be honest, I don't know enough about merchant republics, so if I'm missing something really obvious, please let me know.

1) the byzantine election law (imperial elective) allows the emperor to hold cities without penalty. venice is just like any other city. whether you keep it or not is up to you. i guess it would be worth a single demesne point since it's such a nice 7 slot county with its own duchy and kingdom, so none of your vassals would be pissed (desirec control of...) if you hold it. recreating the MR is pointless. you already destroyed their initial assets and ragusa can cover the adriatic sea just fine.

2) you'd have to *retract* vassalage, not *transfer*. the king of croatia will be mighty pissed off. and you'll have to repeat the step with every new viceroy of croatia since ragusa is de jure part of it. and the viceroy might regularly fight de jure wars against the republic to bring ti back under his control.
i guess the smart solution in this case is simply to give the kingdom title of croatia to the merchant republic of ragusa. so they will be a kingdom tier merchant republic of croatia. and they will be your direct vassal obviously.

As King of Jersusalem, you get decisions to vassalize the Templar and the Hospitalers.
However, it seems the orders can break that vassalage by themselves, by considering you "unworthy". What I don't understand is what triggers this decision. Is it just relations?

Is there any upside in switching from Frisian to Dutch cultures? Quite the same: Is there any upside in the Frankish to French/German?

Also, related to this, if the culture has a name that is tied to a worldwide name (e.g. Bedros is considered the same as Peter, Pedro etc.), and I switch to culture which does not have this name in the 00_cultures at all, will the name still be considered towards the regnal numbers? E.g., if I name my Frisian daughter Imma, she suceeds, becomes Duchess Imma II. as there was Duchess Emma I. before her, and she names her daughter Imma as well but the daughter becomes Dutch, will she suceed as Imma III.?

What is needed that a Court Physician is allowed to be female (other then search for Court Physician decission).
There's not any gender restriction

There is a gender restriction. Females can be Court Physicians if you have the Gender Equality game rule enabled, or if you belong to a feminist religion (or a pagan religion reformed with Equality). Otherwise you need one of the top two levels of Status of Women laws (Notable or Full) to have women as Court Physicians.

Is there any upside in switching from Frisian to Dutch cultures? Quite the same: Is there any upside in the Frankish to French/German?

Frisian has housecarls (heavy infantry) as cultural retinue and cultural building; dutch has goedendag militia (light infantry + pikes). i think that's the most significant difference.

IIRC franks, french and germans all use the same retinue and building (knights / jousting lists), so it probably won't make a big difference except for maybe the namelists of random characters

Anyone know if a craven commander is better than no commander at all?
Depends on their actual Martial rating and any skills. Craven does affect many random battle events, but not so much the running of the battle.

I'd rather have a Martial 12, Craven commander than a Martial 6, Brave one.

Okay, looks like I misread the note "Gender allowed" on the wiki then. Checking the other titles, yeah, that actually means "gender restricted to dominant one", and titles without that note are the ones that can be given out regardless. Sorry about that!

The fallback event definitely doesn't check gender, though. So it is possible to somewhat unreliably farm a female Court Physician by having none appointed, making sure the only high learning courtiers you have are female, and waiting for a sick spouse or child.

By the way, if this is to provide insurance against the "seduction by physician" chance in the fertility treatment event when you choose to proceed with it, it's probably simpler to just appoint a chaste or celibate courtier. Although either of those traits might change over time (especially chaste). Eunuchs are safe though, if you have a suitable one. Oddly, no check in that event for gender preference, close kin or relationship between the spouse and doctor. Her gay father is as happy to do the deed as anyone with the same other traits, should it trigger.

Event RIP.5060 in the rip_symptom_events document.
Triggered if there's a sick spouse or child and no appointed physician. The flavour text is something like "You there! Do something!" and it appoints a random courtier as Court Physician, weighted to high learning courtiers.

The victim needs to have progressed to an actual disease to trigger it - symptoms aren't enough.

Often seen if your previous physician died during an epidemic and you didn't notice yet.

Is the county of Amalfi (or any county, for that matter) supposed to not be part of any de jure empire? I can't remember if it was like that in my previous games or just this one. As you can see, I've ticked the de jure box and all that shows up is the Duchy of Amalfi, no kingdom or empire. And indeed, I also switched it as you can see to de jure empires map mode, and im the middle of the Byzantine purple, Amalfi is completely grey. Very peculiar. (For the record, this is from the 769 start and the only global events I've seen pertaining to Italy have been Lombardy becoming Italy and the Papal States becoming Romagna, both of which are concerned with places well to the north of this.) Does anyone know what caused this?

Does anyone know what caused this?

I also saw that in my 867 start and found it odd. Amalfi can form a Kingdom by decision if they have another duchy, like Venice, but unlike Venice, the title doesn't exist before that, and when I gave them a second duchy, they never formed the Kingdom (waited decades!). I eventually gave them the titular kingdom of Thuringia since I had it lying around, and now the Duchy of Amalfi is de jure drifting into it, but don't recall if I did it early enough it'll be able to finish before game end, and the kingdom might only then start drifting into my empire? Not sure. Anyway, it's weird, I'd expect it to be more like Venice's situation.

Quick question: if at the beginning of my game, when choosing game rules, I switch the "demesne limit" off, does that apply to AI as well?

Yes, though in my experience the AI is not very good at taking advantage of this, heh. :)

Hey everybody! :) I'm playing a merchant republic and one of my trade posts has a tiny foreign coat of arms in the upper left corner of the trade post picture.

I can't figure out what it means - any ideas? Thanks in advance!
