Question: Is there an information location in CK that outlines when a ruler gained his/her appointment? Ie: When did they become Ruler, Duchy or Count?

Well that question has nothing to do with the subject of this thread, but the answer is, yes. You can find that information in the save-game file, the entry looks like this

country = { 
    tag = C731 
    lastpeace = { year = 1066 month = october day = 25 } 
    lastwar = { year = 0 month = january day = 0 } 
    badboy = 0.000 
    form_of_goverment = feudal 
    capital = 731 
    tier = county 
  [COLOR="Lime"]  ruler = { character = { type = 10 id = 20746 } startdate = { year = 1066 month = october day = 25 } } [/COLOR]    laws = { semisalic_primogeniture_law = yes traditional_custom_law = yes ecclesical_balance = yes } 
    warfare_dev_focus = 10 
    production_dev_focus = 21 
    culture_dev_focus = 29 
    stability = 0.000 
    scutage = 0.000 
    crown_duty = 0.600 
    census_tax = 0.550 
    tolls = 0.600 
    upkeep = 1.000 
    church = 0.450 
    controlledprovinces = { 731 }

Thanks Veld! Sorry, I did not want to start a new thread for this simple question. So I just stuck it in here.

No problem, but it is always better to start a new thread or ask in the thread called 'common newbies questions answered'.

Question: Is there an information location in CK that outlines when a ruler gained his/her appointment? Ie: When did they become Ruler, Duchy or Count?

Yes, but you have to understand CK-Save files pretty well for it to work.

This is how titles are listed:

title = { 
    tag = C039 
    tier = county 
    liege = MARA 
    holder = { character = { type = 10 id = 6008 } startdate = { year = 1066 month = january day = 0 } } 
    }

tag = C039 means that this title is recorded in the CK save as C039 wherever it appears. That's it's tag. It's CXXX with XXX a number, that means it a Count-level title, and it's the Count title for Province 39. Checking config/province_names.csv this is it:

PROV39;Ross;;;Ross;;;;;;;X

tier = county
This is a count-title. There are also Duchy and Kingdom-level titles. Duke and King-level tags have no numbers in them.

liege = MARA
The Liege's tag is MARA. Checking config/world_names.csv MARA is:

MARA;Alba;Mar;Mar;Mar;Mar;;;;;;X

In-game MARA is Alba, and a Duke-level title. So C039 is a vassal of the Duke of Alba.

The last line is the one you're looking for:
holder = { character = { type = 10 id = 6008 } startdate = { year = 1066 month = january day = 0 } }
holder is the Character's ID #. In the scenario file 6008 is:

character = {
	id = { type = 10 id = 6008 }
	name = "Maelsnechtan"
	gender = male
	dynasty = { type = 12 id =554 }
	father = { type = 10 id = 6006 }
	mother = { type = 10 id = 6007 } 
	country = MARA
	religion = catholic
	culture = Scottish
	score = { gold = 25 prestige = 100 piety = 100 }
	birthdate = { year = 1048 month = january day = 1 }
	deathdate = { year = 1085 month = january day = 1 }
	dna = "94362898875496"
	attributes = {
		martial = 8
		diplomacy = 6
		intrigue = 5
		stewardship = 7
		health = 5
		fertility = 8
	}
	traits = {
		flamboyant_schemer = yes
	}

So Maelsnechtan is Count of Ross, and a vassal of the Duke of Alba . He has been since
year = 1066 month = january day = 0
The year and month are obvious. The save-file apparently counts the first of the month as 0, so add one.

Maelsnechtan has ruled Ross since January 1 of 1066.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply Nick!! I am going to poke around a bit and see what I can find in my files. Perhaps in future iterations of this title, we may see a ledger similar to the one in EU3 that provides this information.
