Norman raid overseas?

[napoleonrolff]

The culture information says that normans are allowed to raid overseas, yet when I try to toggle looting on, it says owner is not allowed to loot?

Anyone knows anything about this?

It used to be (in older versions) that if your liege can't raid, then you can not either. Maybe it is this?

I think what that means that if you are a character who can raid (so you're either tribal or of a raiding religion), you can load that loot into boats instead of needing a land border. If you're a Catholic, as all Normans in the start dates are to my knowledge, you can't raid so you can't take advantage of that ability. It really only comes up if you play a Germanic Norse character and settle in areas that allow you to trigger the Norman melting pot but keep your original religion.
