Ah I see, that's more simple than I thought it was.
Feudal = nobles
City = Burghers
Bishop = Clergy
Right?
By their holding and title. A mayor would own a city, bishop a temple, and feudal character a castle. Republics can also hold castles, but their primary holding is a city. Courtiers, having no titles, are not effected by laws.
Yes. It is not uncommon for players to take CA to High just to change to Primo and then bring it back down.
For most succession law changes (Primo requiring High, several others requiring you to get away from Autonomous vassals, Absolute Cognatic requiring Basque/Cathar/Messalian) you only need to meet that requirement when you change the law, NOT to keep it that way after it is changed.
There are a few cases (ERE in 867) where you start with Primo even though you don't have High CA. And if you work your way up as a Duke, it is possible to have Primogeniture when you create your Kingdom.
Note that some religions do not allow certain types of succession so the laws may change if you change religion. (Muslims are locked into Agnatic Open, unreformed Pagans are stuck in Gavelkind except for Mongols who have Ultimogeniture, Indian religions don't normally have Elective).
My character has the Kinslayer trait, is there any way for me to find out whom he killed?
I don't know if there is an easy way.
The majority of the time, it is either against a spouse (if married a fellow dynasty member) or to improve one's position in inheritance (which means that the victim is usually fairly close in the family tree).
Murderers' ids are kept in the save file, IIRC, so if you have an un-compressed save and search for "killer = "/yourcharactersid/"" or something like that, you should be able to find it. A bit of a palaver though.
Thanks, I found him. He was a random kinsman that, as far as I can tell, never got a title, and never married.
Why my character killed him, I have no idea. The murder took place before he inherited the throne, but this guy wasn't a threat to that inheritance in the slightest.
It is a mystery.
If they grew up together or spent time in the same court, there is also a chance that they became Rivals.
As Norse King of Norway (unreformed) I can declare Conquest wars on neighbouring Finnish Suomenusko pagan counties but I can't declare war on any coastal ones.
Are counties in Finland for some reason not considered coastal or can you not use coastal conquests against non-Norse pagan religions (but neighbouring conquests are still OK)?

Can Semien Jews borrow from Jews? I never saw that option, even after random Jews show up at court. It's strange that Jews would lend to everyone else but not to their our kind.
I don't think so.
There have been past discussions about this. Most of them have been about how religious usury laws tend to be restrictive on lending/charging other people of the same religion.
Yes, Jews lending to Jews was a big no no.
These days, Muslims still can't borrow money from anyone, so they go through a round about way to pretend it isn't a loan. I don't remember the details, though.
Ok Thanks. Good to know. But the Jew money is a huge life saver for any challenging start, gameplay-wise it doesn't make sense to deny Jews this money. Maybe making the opinion minus more severe for Jews borrowing from Jews would work. Denying it altogether really limit the options they have at the start.
If it makes you feel better, Indian religions can't borrow from Jews either!
Do members of the Zealots (jewish holy order) typically get the celibate trait? I managed to vassalize them through holding the title myself for a little while which did cause me to be unable to arrange any marriage between any two people, but now no Zealot gets the celibate trait and I am not sure if that's normal or not.
1 of my dynasty has a weak claim on the kingdom of Italy.
Hes an ideal candidate from my viewpoint to make king as he is unlanded and is unlikely to inherit anything but he has no claims to any other titles in Italy. What will happen if I press the claim? Will he get the current kings lands or will he as an unlanded king cause something wierd to happen?

I think he will get the current kings lands, at least a part of them. He'll not stay unlanded, at the very least.
I've just done it recently with a unlanded female claimant, and she got more than the capital, but I'm not sure if she got the additional counties when she became Queen or if she simply revoked them.

I'm quite happy if he only gets a single county. Dynastic allies should keep him on the throne and hes unlikely to pose any threat to his Emperor.
