Sorry if I missed where you've put it, but is there a good list of the rules of shattered ballance? In particular, I'm looking for the rules around the conquer ruler cb. As a count, there are some counties that I attack, and others I can't. They all border my territory. I also noticed that once you declare yourself at duke, you get the subjugate ruler.
Thanks again for all your incredible work!!
There's no official documentation, but here's a quick run-down:
First, there's the
minor_conquest CB. To access this, you must:
- Have no more counties than 8 (personally)
- Unless you're not a duke and the enemy's realm borders your capital, have no more counties than 5 (personally)
- Not have any count vassals (exception: enemy's realm borders your capital)
And the enemy must:
- Have no more counties than 3
minor_conquest is the "demesne-building" CB. If you win these wars, you get all of the county titles from the enemy realm.
Next, we have the
subjugation CB. To access this, you must simply no longer be a count, and one or both of the following must be true of your enemy:
- Is a count
- Has a realm with no more than 10 total holdings in it (realm size)
When you win these wars, they knock your enemy back down to a count if they weren't already, usurp any titles higher tier than count (if any), and you become their new liege.
Finally, we have the
subjugation_duke CB which applies when you've made it to king-tier (or higher) and the enemy is a duke. This is a simple subjugation (you become their new liege), and the only limitation is that you can only apply it to enemies with realms with no more than 20 total holdings (realm size).
Beyond that, standard CB rules apply, aside from some loosened restrictions on holy war and such.
