Playing as the Paulician Patriarch...

[Mrvonderp]

... And as I have managed to weasel my way into the Byzantine empire and fully usurped a duchy from my heretical, -idiotic- Apostolic neighbour, I have come across something of a roadblocl. I, uh

I can't declare war anymore. Like, I hover over the button in the character menu, and ALL the requirements are met. But the button is greyed out. So I can't purge heretics anymore.

What the heck man ;_:

What CB are you trying to use, and against whom? Have you tried hovering over the greyed-out button to see a tooltip?

@Mrvonderp
If I am not mistaken, you can't use holy war CBs if you are a part of a realm that is of a different religion. So if it is greyed out it would be because you don't have a CB to use.

Your best bet is to try and get independence from the empire so you can start declaring war again.

If I am not mistaken, you can't use holy war CBs if you are a part of a realm that is of a different religion.

If he's trying to use holy war-type CB's, then yes - his top liege needs to be the same religion as he is.

Did you check the Crown Laws? I don't believe it's listed explicitly if there is realm peace.

 

[dskod1]

I don't think there is permanent realm peace anymore. At least I have not seen such a law playing as both and empire and a kingdom. I only know of the council's king's peace

Related question: is the Paulician Patriarch being locked into Agnatic Gavelkind a normal thing? I literally see no other gender or succession laws when I start as him.
