Playing as vassal

[Zuru84]

I have few questions regarding playing as vassal.

Let say that i am one of them and i have one duchy.
Questions are:
-if i will attack other country or duchy from other realm will my liege also have war with them?
-if i will win, will i receive dutchy of the opponent? Will this duchy be a part of my lieges realm?

1. No.
2. You'll have to usurp/create the title... before your liege does. Of course, you're still a vassal.

1. Your liege will not go to war with the other realm, unless I think you have an alliance with your liege I think.
2. What you receive in the war is what you declare your casus belli to be. If it is a holy war, Imperial Reconquest, or claim on a duchy, than yes you will take the duchy from your opponent. That duchy will then be a part of your lieges realm, just as the duchy that you currently own is a part of your lieges realm, but you will be the one that directly owns it.

If you attack another realm, your liege will not be automatically at war, he will get a share of threat/infamy if you win though. He may also join the war if he wants to.

If you win you get the duchy. All counts that have no other land anywhere else become your vassals, otherwise the county titles are usurped by you as well. Since you are your lieges vassal, this duchy will be yours but but part of his realm too.

If you win a title that is equal or greater than your liege´s title, you become independent (i.e. if you are a count under an independent duke, winning a duyh will make you independent too). Independence comes in steps though, becoming idependent from a vassal king in en empire will not make you fully independent, but rather a direct imperial vassal.

And what about wars beetwen vassals in one realm. Its the same? If i will win i will receive oposit vassals duchy (if i have claims ofcourse)?

In short, yes.

If you have a claim on a fellow vassal´s duchy, you will get it, and his count vassals will be your vassals. If the enemy duke had any land outside the duchy you claimed, you will get his counties within the duchy i.e. you usurp them. If he had only land within the target duchy, he will become your count-vassal instead (and hate you a lot). Claiming counties instead of duchies in wars between vassals is a safer, but a costlier and slower approach (i personally prefer to do that, though many players would prefer the "fast" way).
