Just ago noticed I cant grant independance to everyone

[makaramus]

Was planning to do a lot of invasions and so landing my dynasty members all around world (even picked dynastic bloodline for roleplay reasons) with power of gavelkind
I got 20 dip 20 martial ruler right now reformed germanic king of england(tribal. it was not me reformed it but AI did pick ok decisions so I converted to it)

my realm size is 110 and desired to grant independance to my 6 brothers and invade hispania wich is my equal and no doubt I was gonna crush with invasion cb
then...
...
"cannot grant independance to germanic de jure vassals"
O_O
so let me understand this ... only way to grant independance to my vassals is to give them to a catholic vassal and grand independance AFTER that?
...
any other way to succeed this? :/

It’s a game rule. You can make grant independence have no restrictions if you want, when you start a new game.

yea but its disabling achivements :/
is there any other way to achive this especially without making me abandon entire game? :/
do I need to conquer ireland(got almost half of it but its title held by old germanic ruler) and give land I dont want to my son with that title? any other way? else I gonna try to rush for this

You xan convert for a week and release them.

Or you destroy the title they are dejure vassals of.

A quick convert-and-then-convert-back is probably the easiest method. If your capital isn't Germanic, I suggest you use another pagan religion (so that you can do both conversions via concubines).

If for some reason you want to avoid converting, the alternative is: conquer 51% of a very small kingdom (eg. Wales or Brittany); form that kingdom; make it primary; give England to one of your vassals. When choosing the kingdom, count the realm size carefully to ensure that your demesne plus the new counties is still under 30 (otherwise no prepared invasions).

yea I managed to conquer ireland (wales was conquered by felow reformed germanic). gave half of my kingdom to my brother and left kingdom behind. other half is still under my grasp and gonna leave it to my sons.
currently found Holy Roman Empire weakened so decided to invade for germany
yet I wasnt able to use CB on germany so instead said "fine first frisia then germany" O_O
their 5k army (yea that crippled and they hold ENTIRE HRE (with italy)) aganist my 40 k army (20 diplo 35 mil germanic invader )

It's probably too late now, but prepared invasions (in fact, almost all invasions) are nuts - especially if you're attacking a large realm. All you have to do is hold the county capital and you will receive every holding in that county in the peace deal. This is true even if that county is outside the kingdom you're targeting. So, you could in theory have taken the whole HRE with one prepared invasion. (In practice, you lose men in every siege and battle, so there are limits.)

yea but occupying entire germany when italy,france,germany,dutch are aganist you all at once and when your ruler is at 60 years old(not because it will stop invasion but because... gavelkind ) I was planning to conquer frisia and let german rulers stay where they all and then settle as catholic norse ruler
