After checking out both vanilla and VIET immersion files here are my findings.
1. In vanilla, you can only restore Zoroastrian Priesthood as the emperor of Persia. This results in the head of Zoro church becoming your vassal. Soon afterwards there is an event which will create the immortals after the priesthood is established. The Immortals are NOT vassals of the emperor of Persia.
Ref : vanilla\decisions\realm_decisions.txt and vanilla\events\soa_holy_order_events.txt
2. In PB_VIET_Immersion (because thats what I play), the player is able to restore the priesthood as Either the Emperor OR the King of Persia. If emperor, the head of the church is his vassal, but if King the head can never be vassalised.
In either cases the immortals are never vassalised. I haven't found the corresponding holy_order_events.txt for PB_VIET_Immerson so I am guessing it is using the vanilla file?
Ref : PB_VIET_Immersion\decisions\realm_decisions.txt
EDIT
Okay got the Immortals to vassalise if the event is triggered when player controls Empire of Persia. Basically in soa_holy_order_events.txt, instead of
Code:
# The Immortals are reborn
....
immediate = {
activate_title = { title = d_immortals status = yes }
create_character = {
random_traits = no
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 27
}
new_character = {
wealth = 500
d_immortals = {
grant_title = PREV
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 16
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 18
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 18
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 20
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 25
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 26
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 28
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = yes
age = 16
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = yes
age = 17
}
}
}we need to use,
Code:
# The Immortals are reborn
...
immediate = {
activate_title = { title = d_immortals status = yes }
create_character = {
random_traits = no
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 27
}
new_character = {
wealth = 500
d_immortals = {
grant_title = PREV
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 16
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 18
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 18
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 20
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 25
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 26
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = no
age = 28
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = yes
age = 16
}
create_character = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
religion = ROOT
culture = persian
female = yes
age = 17
}
}
d_immortals = {
holder_scope = {
e_persia = {
holder_scope = {
set_defacto_vassal = PREVPREV
}
}
}
}
}However the main problem is in PB_VIET_Immersion, it is possible to form the Zoro church as the King of Persia, in which you the Immortals are obviously not going to be the players vassals. I cannot think of a way for them to automatically become the vassal of the King of Persia in that case without losing the ability for them to be vassal of Emperor of Persia.
EDIT 2 :
EDIT 3 : Seems like this is bugged, goto this post here to get the proper fix.

Also one thing I have noticed is that when I get holy warred or get jihad declared upon me, the Zoro Church Head will often ask to join the war which is all well and good but he doesn't have ANY troops at all! No vassals or troops or holdings and due to the recent 2.0 changes you cannot even give him land to vassalise. Now the Pope often gives you money to help, I was wondering if something similar could be done for the Zoro Church Head. Or maybe some other mechanic, because currently he is heavily limited in any utility.

I'd say yeah, for now keep Defensive Attrition for West Africans off and see how future games work. I'll let you know what happens with my game.
