Crusader Kings II ~ Quick Answers

[BaronNoir]

I want to launch a crusade on Deccan. Is this possible ?

(I would request the crusade from the pope-I did it for Arabia a long time ago, as the pope was my Vassal, but I don't see the option now)

Don´t know. Can I look it up somewhere in the game? With Sicily I´ll make some test, thx for the info.

The easy way is to mouse over the duchy shield so the succession list pops up (most easily done in the character screen, just scroll across the shields in the titles area). At the top of the list the succession law for that particular title is listed.

Looked back a couple of pages... but does anyone know if Ruler Designer can be used in Iron Man yet (and give achievements)?

Thank you.

Im currently the Serene Doge of Sicily after starting as Amalfi at the 867 start. I swore fealty to the Byzantine Empire then joined a faction to make it elective succession. If i win and get elected, does that mean that I lose my republic status or do i get the empire tier republic?

Jomsvikings have settled in a nearby pagan county and built a castle there. I have conquered the region, how do I kick them out once for all?

You should be able to declare war on them (The Jomsvikings) with the CB "county claim" to take the barony.

The City in my county is controlled by the Mayor. If I were to marry one of my daughters off to him, would the child inherit? Is Mayor an inheritable position?

Second question, I noticed if I start early enough, some provinces won't have any cities or temples in them, but later they will. I'm assuming its automatic, but is there any way to cause this to happen earlier?

1. Nope, the mayor position is given to a random character upon the holder's death.

2. You have to build them yourself. If you click on an open holding slot, it should give you the option to build a new holding in the county.

Thanks.

What I meant was, if you click on the province, nothing came up. No province info was displayed, and there were no slots to build anything. Clicking any other province would cause a screen to pop up, just not this one.

 

[rawrbear]

Exiting the save and reloading it seems to solve the issue, AFAIK.

It did, thank you very much. I was worried I was going to have to fight everyone for the next 400 years :laugh:

There are a few scattered provinces that only have a single barony slot (the county capital itself) so the bottom will always look blank. One I can think of off the top of my head is Kola and there are a couple others in Scandinavia. As far as I know there is no mechanic for adding additional holding slots in the game. If that isn't what you are talking about then please list the province name/location where you're seeing something odd.

Unless it has changed, there was a hard limit after you were beating them by 4+ trade posts. Take that with a grain of salt as I have not played a Republic in some time...

I think the limit is having 4 more, but you can never, ever declare a Conquer Trade Post war on a vassal patrician while you're a Doge. And no, I wouldn't recommend giving up the Dogeship, because the Republic AI is generally quite useless and you'll start raking in obscene amounts of cash as Doge once you expand your Trade Posts and your Palace. As a Fraticelli Venice (converted via event, not a Ruler Designer thing), I controlled all of Italy south of the Po and north of Apulia (including Rome), and my monthly income was about the same as with my Restored Roman Empire that controlled all of the Black Sea, about two-thirds of the Mediterranean coast and most of the southern Channel coast. As a Republic, you can become ludicrously outrageously powerful if you work at it for a few generations.

Thanks!
Testing seems to show I can not conquer a Trade Post when it would lead me to having 4 more than the target. So I couldn't declare for another family's 4th, having 6 already.

Is there a way to look up a characters history? (without breaking ironman) A sort of event log?
I can imprison me 2th wife because she has 'acted dishonourable' as I could my brother. He had the kinslayer trait so appearently she supported him in a plot that was succesfull but discovered?

took me a while to find this, first I thought they just got jiggy.

 

[Isaios]

What is the percentage of income lost to each family member for a Doge?

I know I've seen it somewhere, but can't recall atm.

EDIT: Found it (memo to self; always read through defines-lua before asking about anything).

1. Nope, the mayor position is given to a random character upon the holder's death.

Just for completeness: While the mayorship is uninheritable, the "random" holder that gets it usually comes from males in the mayor's court if possible. The mayor's court is ALMOST ALWAYS empty, but if you make the marriage and he has a male child, he will often inherit. I don't know if this is a probability, but anecdotally, I see it most of the time. Alas, no dynasty will be established since they'll never try to marry and their child count will be limited like a normal baron.

 

[Aardvark Bellay]

The City in my county is controlled by the Mayor. If I were to marry one of my daughters off to him, would the child inherit? Is Mayor an inheritable position?

As mentioned above but in short:

Yes by being elected , as long as it's the only male in the court of the city.

As venitia (= king tier), I vassalised myself to byzantium to blob inside it. (I needed to lower their crown authority BTW )
100 years later, I decide to become independant. I make a faction, and two dukes joins me. I launch the revolt, win (not really due to my allies/ temporary vassals) and become really independant. Of the two allied dukes, one (a neighbour of mine) is now my permanent vassal and the other is independant (this one is an esatern duke)
Why did i get one of them as a vassal ? Is it intended to wrok like this ? Is it a bug ?
If it is a bug, I guesse the fact that the duke who is my vassal became duke during the war has a link with it. (His father joined my faction, we started war, he died on a battle, we win the war, the new duke is my vassal)

It's a bug, one of several that revolve around the new rebellion mechanics.
