Crusader Kings II ~ Quick Answers

Is there any way to see the Pope's opinion of the various Christian rulers without having to do it one by one?

When I use the opinion map mode all I see is their opinions of the Pope. Similarly if I use the character finder after clicking to see 'characters opinions' on the Pope's portrait. Really I just want to see who he might give me a claim on without having to click through the titles one by one. (Must have come up a few times already.)

So for some reason in my current game, Shia and Sunni muslims can't holy war each other. Anyone have any idea why? Couldn't find anything on the wiki concerning it being conditional other than the normal holy war distance requirements. Its weird, because I'm a Sunni empire bordering the Shia Fatimids, and I can use the Muslim invasion CB, but no holy wars are available. Presumably its the same for the AI, as the Fatimids and Sunni Seljuks haven't fought against each other even once. Started in 1066, up to 1142 now. I was kind of hoping the Fatimids would unland the Sunni Caliph for me so I could recreate it, I must admit.

I'm currently winning a defensive holy war against Seljuks (so they attacked me), and I know they won't be able to come back, especially as ERE just declared war on them. So I look at the warscore slowly increase, managing my vassals, enjoying the nice opinion boost the war gave me. But I wonder, if my ruler dies, will the war end inconclusively ?
Thanks !

Holy Wars SHOULD NOT end inconclusively like that. Change of ruler alone doesn't invalidate the CB. If you happened to have an heir that was Sunni, that could, but otherwise no.

So if you go over the arbitrary limit on vassals and they break free on death do you get claims on their stuff or ... ?

I have gotten strong inheritable claims in such cases. I think you only get weak claims for breakaway Kingdoms.

Thanks Well in the end the ayyubids decided to join the thing, so I actually rushed for the warscore.

Non-related : if a direct vassal is under regency, which one counts for calculating levies and taxes, the regent opinion or vassal opinion towards you ? I'd say the regent's one but couldn't find anything on the wiki

May I receive some help from the mods? I have my game registered, but it doesn't appear to be registered and the forum doesn't let me read any CK2-specific threads like mods and support. What's wrong - when I'm trying to put my serial number again, it says that it was already used. Who can help me with that? Sorry, I don't know where else to post such a request.

Why can't I create the Empire of Hispania? It says I currently have 80% of the de jure counties, and I have enough gold and piety.

 

[CrusaderJoe]

I believe you need at least three kingdom titles as well in order to create an empire.

59*0,8 = 47,2

You don't have 80% yet, but it gets rounded up to 80.

I have every Kingdom in Hispania except Portugal, so thats not the issue.

59*0,8 = 47,2

You don't have 80% yet, but it gets rounded up to 80.

Ohhh, damn them rounding up and confusing me. Thanks. Guess its time to take Portugal.

 

[Aunel]

You're welcome. It'd be easier if they just replaced the percentages with the actual number of provinces you need for the title, but this keeps your math skills sharp

Yeah, this is a good rule of thumb to remember. If you're right at the mark, do the math yourself. The display should really use the FLOOR function (or, as appropriate CEIL) instead of rounding for thresholded things.

Crusade time coming up in my current game.
If as Emperor I take KoJ and vassalise the Templars and Hospitallars then give the KoJ to a kinsman will the Holy Orders be my vassal or theirs?

If the Templars and Hospitallers are YOUR vassals, they will remain YOUR vassals. I saw this once with a Hungary that had gained the KoJ. Even though they lost it later, they still owned all the Holy Orders.

How do i deal with gavelkind...i'm a bad player so i won't be able to reform :/

So you are a pagan? Gavelkind as a mechanic is seriously bad (and when I say bad I mean really bad) but at least now there are some general rules for managing it.

As a rule of thumb, if you own any provinces outside your de jure capital duchy, you will lose those provinces but retain your capital provinces. So remember to obtain more provinces outside your capital duchy.

An example:
King A has 3 sons.
King A has 1 king title, 2 duchies (Bohemia and Moravia) and 5 counties; 3 in Bohemia (capital duchy), 1 in Moravia and 1 in Silesia.
King A dies.
Son X (primary heir) inherits Bohemia, duchy of Bohemia and 3 Bohemian counties.
Son Y inherits duchy of Moravia and 1 Moravian county.
Son Z inherits 1 Silesian county.

At least in theory.

If you want to switch out of Gavelkind, you have to be a feudal ruler of a reformed religion. Trying to convert to Catholic, Sunni or something else would do the trick, if you are able to pull it off.
