How to find who was the mentor for a character?

I like to RP my characters, but sometimes I get to play (for example when elective gavelkind) a guy who I know little about and I can't find who educated him.

I know of no easy way. If you run across him randomly, you should have an opinion boon for "mentor" though.

I'm aware that this is a known issue, so I'm asking as to the why/how this happened. I'm Emperor (Orthodox) of the ERE, my son is NOT a bishop, but is an unlanded courtier in my court. I died. My Empire became a Theocracy.

How could this happen??

It's Ironman, but the save is from a few days/month prior to this, so there is a way a to fix this. I hope there is!

Please send the save to the bug forum. Theocratic ERE happens A LOT.

My character is depressed, but i dont have the suicide option.
Why could that be?

Also, how do you guys reorganize your realms from feudal to vice-roys? I did it by revoking and regranting, but ive gone trough 2 independence wars now in 15 years and expecting another one soon. Killing myself from depression after this last revocation to take a county from someone who would mess up vassal borders would be awesome so i wouldnt have to go trough that...

I have done it almost 100% now, actualy i have, just duchies in Hungary and Andalusia left, but Andalusia is a kingdom vice roy anyways. And Im not going to keep Hungary, though currently it is Pannonia, and i cant create a kingdom there because of that, how do i create a kingdom in that area?

Right click on your character's portrait. The suicide action was moved to the diplomacy menu.

Ok, thank you very much, suiciding right after this war and then a revocation.

I rule a Principality that has several Most Serene Republics as vassals. I attempted to load a game as one of those vassals but the Play button was greyed out and a message said "Cannot play as a Republic". Any idea what's up with that? I have all DLC, all enabled. I played a Republic before forming a Principality. This is not an issue with the Republic DLC not being enabled.

Are they land-based republics? Only Merchant Republics, those that have coastal provinces, are playable.

Additionally, Republics under Republics cannot be Merchant Republics, so if his "Principality" is a Merchant Republic, those would be further restricted.

They're pretty much all have coastal provinces, I think.

OK, I guess I'm just confused. I didn't know there was a difference between a Merchant Republic and a Republic. My Principality is a Merchant Republic, yes.

Merchant Republics have Patricians and are playable. They also build tradeposts. In order to be one, they must have a started with a city as the primary holding, have coastal capital, be at least Duke-rank, and not be under another Republic. Republics are primary city-holding but violate any of those rules and as a result do not have Patricians or trade posts -- they have never been playable.

So..
I converted to Fratelli, made a vassal bishop antipope, conquered rome, created the fratelli papacy, reinstalled the papacy in Rome and now there's both the fratelli pope and antipope. How do I remove the antipope? OR install her as pope anything to get rid of the antipope penalty

What is the point of Patrician family palaces having garrisons? As best I can tell they can never face a siege, so the only purpose they seem to serve is delaying availability of troops after a building upgrade while they fill up.

Hmm... that's a fair question. I'm thinking it's engine limitations, or as there's no real impact in game, it's unnecesary trouble to make a special behaviour for them.

Is it possible to search/sort characters by their gold? I have found for some reason a VERY large amount of mayors and barons, in my Byzantine Empire, have 1k+ in gold, and am getting sick of sorting through them manually. Any thoughts?

The ledger allows you to do this to a limited extent. In the Independent Realms, Direct Vassals, and All Vassals in Realm pages you can sort characters by gold, but only landed characters. I believe there is a page for your own Court as well.

So, my bishop under my capital county built every time he had the cash for something and the tech, but then he ran out of buildings to build, literally he built everything he could build with the current tech, and then i teched up for him to be able to spend another ~1000 gold on buildings, but he has not built either of those buildings even though he has 1500 gold. Why did he just suddenly stop?


Also, whats the most fun merchant republic in what start date as a patrican? I was thinking of playing my next game as one of those, i dont want it to be easy but as fun as possible.

Once they have medium CA, they will revoke your titles with extreme prejudice.
