As a Catholic/Fraticelli, there's a big button with the pope's hat on it on the Religion screen. Push it.

I'm a catholic duke in the HRE, I don't see it...

Tell me, do you see it ?

How strange.

Did you start the save without SoA (shouldn't affect it, the College of Cardinals should appoint cardinals as soon as you load a save in SoA)? For that matter, did you enable SoA in the launcher - does its little icon appear in the single player menu?

Does your liege have an antipope? Edit: yes, of course, Telesphorus II, pope in Fulda. Could that have something to do with it…?

Try starting as any random Catholic at any start date and see if the button appears.

Well there must have been a bug : despite being Ironman (and lagging every 10 seconds :glare , I can't find my save after restarting the game.
I restarted a new game as the same count, and the buttons appears.

Anyway, I'll pay attention if it's antipope-related or just a bug I had.

Quick question: Firing up the game after a bit and now have the last 2 DLCs finally. I want to try the Jews out and see there is actually a bigger Jewish leader to start as in Ethiopia, so will likely try him. I may be wrong but seem to recall that there might be some sort of religious retinue vs. cultural. Right now he has Ethiopian skirmishers (have no clue if they are any good or not). I know you can change retinues by switching your culture, but do the Jews ever get a special retinue?

I can't answer your questions but i strongly suggest you to use this minimalist sub-mod: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?765324-Mod-BTPortraits

It fixes skin color of Turkish and Persian facepacks and improves muslim female portraits and Med Portraits. Also AFAIK Paradox said somewhere that they plan to fix Turkish facepack DLC.

I'm the Maharaja of one the countries in India. I noticed I only have access to Primogeniture, Ultimogeniture and Gavelkind Succession. Do I ever gain access to Elective Monarchy(my preferred)?

Nope Indians don't have access to it.

Will expelling a vassalized (by the HRE, I'm Scotland) Holy Order also expel their liege from my lands?
Turns out it does. Good. Can't have the Emperor being liege of my Baronies...

There is a special retinue for the Jews, but only for the two Jewish cultures in the game (Sephardic and Ashkenazi, regardless of their religion.) Retinues are only tied to culture, not religion.

I got Rebublic and The Old Gods enabled. Wanting to play as Estonian pagan rebublic, i started as Livonia, killed the liege of Saarenmaa with console, and gave the Saarenmaa to the Mayor of town in same province. Saved, and tried to start game as newly generated Rebublic, but can't.

What's wrong?

You're only allowed to play as Merchant Republics. That is, republics that are at least duchy-level and have their capital on the coast.

So, as said above, I was the (Catholic) king of Scotland, married to the queen of England. Educated my heir as Shia because expansion was going painfully slowly yet I have the critical mass where I don't really fear a crusade. Queen of England died first, and it went to my heir. I then got myself killed and he also inherited Scotland... which stayed in Agnatic-Cognatic Gavelkind. Wtf? How is this possible, why didn't it switch to Agnatic Open? How can I fix this?

Spoiler

(England has Absolute CA and used to be A-C Primo, Scotland has Medium CA and used to be, well, Gavelkind. Never had many sons before this character.

On another note, I also can't destroy England because of the "Succession type is not Gavelkind" condition. It isn't, in case of England.

Edit: After I instituted Harsh Iqta Tax (there was no Iqta anything at first, took me a while to notice and to get finished with revocation wars blocking law changes), I now have the option to switch Succession to Turkish... and Agnatic, seperately. Seems a bit buggy, wonder what will happen.

Seems a bit buggy, wonder what will happen.

The only thing that's buggy in this case, is that it's at all possible that a shia can inherit a catholic realm. Complete bullcrap.

 

[Gezz Inti]

Old Gods question:

Being only able to loot other religions excludes all sorts of Pagans from being looted? Why can't the Norse raid and loot Slavic counties?

 

[tamius23]

I think that is a bug.

 

[Gezz Inti]

Aha. Does everybody has this bug or is my game bugged?

 

[tamius23]

Everyone has it.
