If they are Christian and using a holy war CB against you then yes, that would stop them.

Reading the question in question might help to get the right answers...

He/she is a pagan Poland, he fears the whole-kingdom-targetting Sujugation CB of Hungary (they are clearly pagan, too). He wonders if, in case of Hungarian attack, converting to Catholicism invalidates the Subjugation CB (which cannot be targeted against Christians), because he thinks he cannot beat them. He clearly doesn't want to lose his kingdom and be a vassal of Hungary.

My answer: I don't know. I'm pretty sure the CB is NOT invalidated if the target converts. I can say that for sure in attacker's case. I've seen Norse Catholic lords as attackers in Subjugation wars, and they have clearly been converted after the DOW. But the wars have continued. That's why I would think it applies to CB targets, too.


(Great) Holy Wars and Crusades are totally another thing but that was not in the question, just (Pagan) Subjugation.

It's not invalidated. Christians can be subjugated in this CB. It's how the Hungarians get started in 867, it's how the Aztecs get started too.

No, only pagans can be subjugated, unless I'm mis-reading 00_cb_types.txt:

Code:
# ROOT = receiver
# FROM = giver
Code:
# Pagans can subjugate other pagans
pagan_subjugation = {
	name = CB_NAME_PAGAN_SUBJUGATION
	war_name = WAR_NAME_PAGAN_SUBJUGATION
	sprite = 8
	truce_days = 365
	hostile_against_others = yes
	is_permanent = yes
	can_ask_to_join_war = yes
	check_de_jure_tier = KING # this scans all de jure kingdoms for the counties which are held by or vassals(or below) of selected character. Only valid if is_permanent = yes
	
	can_use = {
		ROOT = {
			religion_group = pagan_group
			is_reformed_religion = no
			NOT = { religion = aztec }
			NOT = { same_realm = FROM }
			NOT = { is_liege_or_above = FROM }
			has_horde_culture = no # Should use tribal invasion instead
		}
		FROM = {
			religion_group = pagan_group
			OR = {
				is_reformed_religion = no
				is_reformed_religion = ROOT
			}
			NOT = {
				any_war = {
					AND = {

						using_cb = pagan_subjugation
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}

Are you confusing it with Tribal Invasion? That's what the Magyars use.

You're right, I wasn't talking about the "Pagan Subjugation" CB. I was talking about the "Tribal Invasion" because I assumed that's what the Hungarians would be doing. Are they really using Pagan Subjugation? As the CB code for subjugation says: Hungarians are Horde Culture and should be using "Tribal Invasion" which can be used against anyone, and religious conversion will never save you. Or did the Hungarians somehow culture convert along the way as well?

About pagan subjugations: as pagan Poland I might get invaded anytime by Hungary, with the subjugation CB for the whole kingdom. If I turn catholic using my concubine right after the war starts, will the CB expire into a white peace?

I'd like to delay my conversion for another decade at least, my homosexual ruler has no offspring and his father was a chaste/stressed man who died at 34 :(

I wouldn't worry if I were you, there is very little chance of such event. You may marry into Hungary and pack a Chancellor in top of them to be safe if you like.

Converting to Christianity will only weaken you, since it'll take away garrison bonuse and a huuge pagan homeland defender. However, if you have a border with someone like the HRE, they will with high probability intervene in your protection.

I am King of Norway ~940. Just completed conquest of Sjaelland (for the holy site) which put me over my demesne limit. I then landed my younger son with Horgaland, he is 4 years old and heads off to Horgaland.

Until he is six, there really is no way to get him back into my court (to protect him from his scheming kin who want him dead), is there?

If he is landed in your kingdom and a vassal, your spy master will be looking for plots throughout the kingdom and so will likely (hopefully) find anyone trying to kill him. On the other hand, most people would probably recommend against landing underage heirs (some argue against landing ANY heir) as he can pick up weird traits, will definitely pick his own wife (and it will almost always be a worse match than you would get him), and may do other inordinately dumb things.

Horde culture is defined in cultures.txt as being just Mongol and Aztec. The code for the tribal invasion CB is

Code:
can_use_title = {
		ROOT = {
			OR = {
				AND = {
					independent = yes
					OR = {
						religion_group = pagan_group
						AND = {
							OR = {
								has_horde_culture = yes
								has_character_flag = horde_invader
							}
							NOT = { religion_group = christian }
						}
					}
					OR = {
						culture_group = altaic
						culture_group = magyar
						culture_group = mesoamerican
					}
					higher_tier_than = COUNT
					OR = {
						has_horde_culture = yes
						has_character_flag = horde_invader
						FROM = {
							NOT = { religion_group = pagan_group } [b]# Should subjugate these instead[/b]
						}
					}
				}
				
				AND = {
					mercenary = yes
					NOT = {
						num_of_titles = 2
					}
				}
			}
		}

The question WAS about Subjugation CB, not about Tribal Invasion. They have normal Subjugation CB against any other pagans.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can tell just using the code available in cb_types. I'm not particularly experienced with that file and I can't find any explicit references to how to invalidate a war. As an example, Holy War as, e.g. a Catholic, is invalidated if the target becomes Catholic (or Orthodox or Miaphysite). But when TOG was released, a Muslim invasion - which can only be declared against non-Muslims - wouldn't invalidate if the target converted to Islam. This led to bizarre situations where Sunnis were invading other Sunnis in what was supposed to be a religious war - the tooltip says something along the lines of "our enemy being of a different faith is a just reason for war". It also helped kill off the West Africans too early, as the Idrisids or (more likely) the Umayyads would use the invasion CB on the pagans. They'd abandon their pagan ways and embrace Islam in order to stay on the map, but the Arabs would dispossess them of their land anyway.

I could, using the game, start, pick a pagan character, attempt to subjugate someone else, then save, switch to them and convert them to Christianity, but you can do that just as well yourself.

Trying to do some land managment. As King, I've got a bunch of Duchy titles, which seems to be giving a negative opinion modifier with my vassals. I'd like to give out some, but I want to make them smaller so I they won't be such a threat. Most of them are 4 province, and I want to lower them so that they're 2 at max. Is this possible?

Assign the person you want to give the duchy title to 3 provinces max, and give the rest to counts. Now go back to the person with the 3 provinces and give him/her the duchy title. Repeat the process for each duchy you want to give out. The newly minted dukes/duchess should now have enough power to keep their new counts/countesses in line, yet too weak to scheme against you.

Actually the possibility of a hungarian invasion is more than remote, once they invaded using the subjugation CB with my king AND son married to their family- couldn't believe it was really happening. My relationship with the king of Hungary was negative though, due to calling them to war over and over.

Is the likelyhood of a war decreased by high relationship, is this confirmed?

If there are no Catholic bishops left... how is the College of Cardinals constituted? And hence, how is the Pope elected?

In my current game, the Papacy has long been evicted from Rome, Catholicism is down to 5 (or is it 6?) counties in total (all in Poland), who keep on electing Polish popes. :)

What happens when Poland is overwhelmed?

I'm not asking just out of interest; a number of things in-game are linked to the Pope existing, and since his election mechanics have changed I was wondering whether the late-game would be affected.


The current situation in the College of Cardinals:

Thanks, arent there any workarounds to fixing it? Temporarily until a fix comes?

Err..wasn't that fixed in the last official patch already ?
There are no double noses in the current Beta patch.

Actually the possibility of a hungarian invasion is more than remote, once they invaded using the subjugation CB with my king AND son married to their family- couldn't believe it was really happening. My relationship with the king of Hungary was negative though, due to calling them to war over and over.

Is the likelyhood of a war decreased by high relationship, is this confirmed?

So did they invade/subjugate you or not? It's not clear to me with my English...

High relationship DOES decrease the possibility of an attack, but it's not guaranteed. If the potential enemy (who may even be allied to you!) has nowhere to expand, due to truces or lack of CBs, he may attack you even with +100 relations, I've witnessed this many times. The more weaker you are and more stronger he is is a factor, too. But usually, licking up to potential enemy's arse with gifts, Chancellor and alliance prevents you from being a target. Especially if they are busy elsewhere, they will leave you alone.

But as I said, it's not guaranteed. It's true especially with ERE for some reason. The Basileus will eventually come after me, poor Armenia, even if the relations are at +100...

I've noticed that, as a republic, if I create an empire/kingdom I have the option to move my capital to the de jure capital of that realm. Ordinary, republics aren't allowed to change their capital. Is this safe, or will it result in me becoming a feudal lord or something?
