Hi all

Ive converted from vanilla to HIP CK2 and loving the changes thus far. I have a question regarding the new plot options available and how the mechanics work. I cant find an explanation when I search the forums so I hope you can shed some light?

My current game start was a count in Ireland and I have managed to become king. I have medium crown authority with a view to obtaining high so that I can change succession law to primogeniture. In the meantime, I'm feuding with my brother who is a powerful vassal and he hates me (-100). I have plotted to fabricate both treason and heresy with success but I cant see what the effects were of doing this.

My presumption would have been that for treason I could imprison/revoke titles with impunity and with heresey request excommunication without negative effect. However, it would seem that my council are still opposed to either of these options so not sure what the benefit of plotting in these ways are without council support?

The only benefit of these plots if you don't have council support is not getting the wrongful imprisonment malus. You can still eat the tiranny malus if you want your brother gone so bad.
What I'd do is either get more loyalists or buy council support so you can act without penalties. Even better, use that support to forbid the council from voting on imprisonment and banishment and you'll be able to freely imprison anyone you accuse.
