Place your steward with the Oversee construction job to your capital.
My sister was matrilineally married to the second in line to the throne of the Byzantine Empire. However, all of a sudden, his mother and cousin are ahead of him. Why? He's not celibate or castrated. Is it because he's the heir to a bishopric?
this can be glitchy though, I've had to lose some troops when disbanding because it said there were enemy troops in our lands when there weren't any. Waited a year and still had to lose 50% when disbanding
Maybe they switched from agnatic to agnatic-cognatic, or to a different electoral law than primo, although I never see Byz do this...
Does anyone else find that no one tends to join Great Holy Wars called by you as the Fylkir when playing as a Reformed Norse? Great Holy Wars attract decent numbers of participants when called by heads of religion that aren't you (Tengri, Slavic, Zoroastrian, etc..), but when the head of religion is me when playing as a Norse, I get no offers to join and can't seem to call in anyone besides my regular allies.
Is it bugged? Or am I not understanding something. I have no interest in expanding my realm and was hoping to see some random norse Jarl get lucky and gain a huge kingdom... but its been three Great Holy Wars and I ended up having to win them for myself even though I didn't want them.
I've played reformed norse several times but was more interest in winning the kingdoms for myself back then and perhaps didn't notice the lack of participants before. Can anyone confirm? I'm wondering if it's a bug/side-effect of not being able to fight in same wars as your liege despite it being a 'crusade' type war.

De jure drift: is this correct?
If you're a king, duchies you entirely control outside your kingdoms will drift into your primary kingdom.
If you're an emperor, those duchies will NOT drift into any of your kingdoms. However, entire kingdoms you control outside your empire will drift into your empire.

Yeah, you don't want him to be a bishop. Christian Bishops are not allowed to hold other titles.
You got it. One addition: If you're emperor and you have a king vassal that takes another duchy all for himself, that duchy CAN drift into HIS kingdom.
Could it be that most of them are your vassals? I think folks are less likely to join wars when already involved in one, and if you started it, they might not join because of that. If it's not ironman, you could try to test this by freeing some of your Norse vassals and seeing if they go for it after that.
Alot of land does belong to me due to my vassals conquering stuff, but there are also fully independent kingdoms of Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Poland that are Reformed Norse (and a whole bunch of independent Dukes conquering stuff around the Mediterranean)... which is why it seemed so odd that absolutely no one joined after 3-4 years of waiting. In order to prevent the ticking warscore reaching 100% I had to finally invade and win it by myself... which seemed somewhat uninteresting and disappointing. It seems highly unlikely that everyone was pre-occupied with something which is what made me think it might be a bug... or I'm just getting really unlucky to have this happen 3 times in a row. If other people aren't experiencing this then I'll assume it was a case of bad luck.
I'm somewhat interested in this myself. I'm currently Orthodox of the Abyssinian Empire. I've seen the Byzantine Empire do Holy Wars, but I've never got an invite to join. Similarly, the Byzantine Empire never seems to join in my holy wars, especially since we're fairly close by. The nations I'm attacking have no problem ganging up against me, so I'm kinda curious here.
The event about a duel between courtiers gives banishment as an option. Does this give the usual tyranny penalties & allow for the seizing of funds, or is it a different kind of banishment?
Unfortunately, I have no experience testing this with Norse/Fylkirate Great Holy Wars -- I've seen them work as expected with other religions (i.e. Muslim which have the Norse-like feudal leader/religious leader, and reformed Tengri, restored Zoroastrian, etc).
He's talking about Great Holy Wars (i.e. Crusades, Jihads, and their pagan, Zoroastrian, etc equivalents). Orthodoxy has no such thing, and so you will forever rely on allies. They may choose to join you in DEFENSE of a holy war or other religion's Great Holy War, but they won't be joining in any Great Holy Wars themselves.
Playing as King of England, with Elective law and good relation with most of the electors, i nominate my brother to be my successor. Then i had a chance to push my brother claim and made him King of Scotland. Suddenly after my brother became king of Scotland, none of my vassal support him anymore. Why is that? Any way around this?
If you are a king and create another king title and give it to your son, will he become independent?
To create the empire of Abyssinia, 1 of the criteria is to be Sultan/King of Egypt.
I'm playing as the King of Abyssinia and Nubia and am on a conquering spree of Eqypt. However, 3-4 duchies of Mesopotamia have de-jure drifted into the Kingdom of Eqypt, making the task of usurping the Kingdom more challenging.
Anyone has a solution to this? I currently hold 4/5 original Eqypt duchies. But there are another 4 duchies that have de-jure drifted. These duchies are on the Mesopotamia side, so I cannot holy war them without going through Arabia first.

So I started as the Republic of Amalfi (now Grand Prince of Italia). I have Republic of Denmark as a vassal with my nephew as Prince Mayor. I grant it independence and save the game then load it. Why can't I now play as Denmark? It says "Can't play as Republic".
Is their capital located in an inland province? That would prevent it.
Also: Did you let the game generate patrician families after granting independence? You usually need to let a couple of days pass for this to happen.
How do you make a building be built through event? This is the way I'm trying right now, but it's not working:
Code:
province_event = { #The Colosseum has been built
id = gladiators.3
title = "EVTNAMEgladiators.3"
desc = "EVTDESCgladiators.3"
picture = GFX_evt_colosseum
is_triggered_only = yes
trigger = {
has_character_flag = colosseum_building
}
option = {
name = "EVTOPTAgladiators.3"
333 = {
province_scope = {
add_building = ct_colosseum
}
}
wealth = -200
prestige = 250
piety = -100
clr_character_flag = colosseum_building
set_global_flag = colosseum
}
}
Is it just me, or is Elective Monarchy a terrible idea if you have multiple king titles? Managing many dukes in multiple elections. Seems like a good way to splinter your own realm quickly. If I switch to Primogeniture or anything else before creating a new kingdom title, that kingdom will have that succession law, right?
It works if your vassals love you, which they really should anyway if you want to successfully run Elective, right? If you're playing a ruler who beats everyone into submission, you're probably better off with Primo, yeah.
