Non-dejure kingdoms cannot become dejure parts of empires.

[Seimour]

Whenever I close the game, if I reload it, any kingdom that inst part of a dejure empire at game start will be removed from the empire it is currently part of. I think CKII plus fixed that by making any title that isn't part of a dejure empire at game start being part of a nameless empire with no flag. It's extremely irritating to have the core area of your empire being constantly removed from it.

This is particularly annoying with the kingdom of Albania, Syria, Judah and pretty much all of northern Africa.

Is this still a problem with 2.5.2 and current github?

 

[Interamna]

I've had the same problem with the previous version (see https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...hunting-bulletin.755523/page-62#post-20873175), but I still didn't get to test whether it happens or not with the latest one.

 

[Seimour]

I was using the latest github version with the last ckII patch.

What's the color CK2+ uses for the junkyard empire?

 

[Seimour]

I think they managed to use something to similar to an area with no de-jure empire. Setting its creation conditions to never will also prevent the ai forming it.

I mean, what color is defined in their landed_titles for the dummy empire? color = { xxx xxx xxx }

 

[Seimour]

e_placeholder = {
color = { 20 20 20 }
creation_requires_capital = no
short_name = yes
culture = roman
allow = { always = no }

I believe this is it.

 

[richvh]

Try this:
Save as common/landed_titles/dejure_fix.txt

e_null = {
   color = { 20 20 20 }
   creation_requires_capital = no
   short_name = yes
   culture = hellenistic
   allow = {
     always = no
   }
   k_chad = {}
   k_garama = {}
   k_ireland = {}
   k_judea = {}
   k_syria = {}
   k_lithuania = {}
   k_mauretania = {}
   k_africa = {}
   k_egypt = {}
   k_palmyra = {}
   k_carthage = {}
   k_kyrene = {}
   k_albania = {}
   k_perm = {}
   k_numidia = {}
   k_darfur = {}
   k_zanzibar = {}
   k_buganda = {}
   k_malawi = {}
   k_madagascar = {}
   k_zimbabwe = {}
   k_zulu = {}
   k_makonde = {}
   k_finland = {}
   k_vinland = {}
}

Save as localisation/dejure_fix.csv:

I downloaded the most recent version from Github and Ive noticed this still hasnt been included in the repository files. Is it ever going to be?

Creating the new files seems to fuck up the flags for most factions. That is, they revert to vanilla ones. I believe this is because all of the kingdoms in the null empire have no informations unlike the CKII+ ones.

Compare

e_placeholder = {
color = { 20 20 20 }
creation_requires_capital = no
short_name = yes
culture = roman
allow = { always = no }

# Central Europe
k_bavaria = {
color = { 91 91 202 }
color2 = { 220 220 20 }

culture = german
capital = 360 #Oberbayern

catholic = 10 # Crusade target weight

allow = {
is_title_active = FROM
is_adult = yes
has_regent = no
war = no
ruled_years = 5
top_liege = {
OR = {
NOT = { has_law = kingdom_lockout_0 }
has_landed_title = e_hre
}
}
OR = {
FROM = { has_holder = yes }
FROM = { is_titular = no }
ROOT = {
lower_tier_than = king
culture = german
}
}
}

With

e_null = {
color = { 20 20 20 }
creation_requires_capital = no
short_name = yes
culture = hellenistic
allow = { always = no }

k_chad = {}
k_garama = {}
k_ireland = {}
k_judea = {}
k_syria = {}
k_lithuania = {}
k_mauretania = {}
k_africa = {}
k_egypt = {}
k_palmyra = {}
k_carthage = {}
k_kyrene = {}
k_albania = {}
k_perm = {}
k_numidia = {}
k_darfur = {}
k_zanzibar = {}
k_buganda = {}
k_malawi = {}
k_madagascar = {}
k_zimbabwe = {}
k_zulu = {}
k_makonde = {}
k_finland = {}
k_vinland = {}
}

There are double entries for all of these kingdoms.

I haven't gotten verification that it fixes the problem. Did you try it?

 

[Seimour]

I edited my save game to set the assimilation at 49/50 years and then saved and closed the game. I reloaded and it worked. I really don't understand why a kingdom needs to belong to another empire to prevent a bug. This may be because vanilla has the entire map covered with dejure empires.

My only gripe being that all of the flags reverted to Vanilla ones and break the immersion completely.

 

[richvh]

Just commited the landed_title changes, plus a flag for the dummy empire (which should take care of the flag problems) to github.
