regarding theocratic vassals:
I have somewhere in the back of my mind that theocratic vassals shouldnt start wars on each other if they are of same faith but dont know where i have read this or if this even is true.
Did i make this up?

I conquered Kingdom of Ireland, made theocratic vassals out of the de jure duchies (so 4 in total) and they were at peace for i think 3 generations till someone got a claim which they started to fight over. Maybe they got bored. It just feels a little weird that those Archbishops of same religion fight each other.

Anyone got tips for convincing my kids to take the vows of monkhood? I'm guessing I should give them a learning education, but what personality traits should I make sure their guardian has?

Not sure about traits but I think you can force them to take the vows if you legally imprison them.

Will I still get the bonus(+5 Same Faith) for Divine Blood even if if I convert to another faith? Basically I want to keep the bonus, but for the new faith I'm going to convert to, which in turn I'm going to make a new faith within.

[SOLVED] Yes indeed you do keep the bonus. Thanks to the person who answered. [SOLVED]

Why AI is so passive?

Im giving this game a second go and it's same story - very easy to expand, vassals do not rebel, other countries do not declare on me, once you create empire title nothing can shatter it.
Assassination schemes are a joke - why is it the more agents I take into the scheme the bigger the secrecy is? - it's retarded - more ppl know the less the secrecy should be.

In-game description on one of my murder schemes was that one guy is doing the deed, other one making sure there's no guards, while a third one was subtly arranging candles towards the target's chambers. Odd thing though, was that I had only two agent involved in the scheme.

I have had some problems with vassals, but that mostly amounts to vassals fighting each other, and I did have a larger neighbor declare a Holy War on me while I was distracted. Also, I've noticed that some starting characters (British Vikings, Magyars, etc.) have an extremely easy time expanding due to having large amounts of special troops at start. Vassal revolts are less common than they were in CKII, but I personally think that's mostly good, since I remember abandoning several games of CKII because I got tired of fighting whack-a-mole Crown Authority revolts every 6 months. That said, I do think there is some merit to what you say, and that the AI could stand to be a bit more aggressive. Maybe in a future patch the devs could add an "AI Aggressiveness" game rule. That way, newer players could turn this down so they don't die right away, and experienced players looking for a challenge could ramp it up.

How do I remove Cyprus from heartland of Balkans?

Before succession After succession

What do I need to do with Countess of Niš titles to get them into domain of any heir other than the one that got Cyprus? She owns 3 counties of which the capital one (eastern-most) isn't De Jure in County of Raška (Kingdom of Serbia), so I can't create a Ducal title there.

Spoiler

I successfully transfered Duchy of Vidin (Counties of Braničevo and Vidin), to Player Heir when I created that title. Otherwise it would also be part of Cyprus

Succession law is Partition, Male Preference.

[SOLVED] Had to give up a county, but successfully solved by destroying Duchy of Cyprus title [/SOLVED]

One of the agents had multiple personality disorder maybe? Or was a conjoined twin?

I discovered that one of my counts was secretly a Murder. If I understand correctly I can use this to take his holdings. What's the exact procedure here?

First off, until any secret has been exposed, it is not yet a crime. You would need to expose the secret from the Hooks and Secrets panel.

Then comes the bad news. Murder/attempted murder oddly enough does not grant a title revocation reason, only imprisonment, execution, and banishment. If they don't have any heirs you can imprison them then execute them/throw them in the dungeon and get their titles upon their deathgrep . Otherwise you'll need them to commit a different crime to get tyranny free title revocation.

You could attempt to imprison them with the hopes of failing, thus they will revolt against you ( possible with others in your realm that don't like you or are in the same faction ). After defeating someone in a revolt war you will automatically imprison them and you will get a title revocation reason against them.

One or more of your agents might have cloned themselves. Happens if you manually invite someone that would have joined automatically. They still join automatically and there you go in the agent list, a perfect clone.

Some of the County titles I hold don't have a "Destroy title" button at all. What are the requirements for a title to be eligible for destruction?

You can't destroy counties, only duchies and above. A county is a province, so if you destroyed it there could be no way to hold the province.

The patch notes say something like, you can see vassals by ctrl-clicking. On what, though? Noob question I know... It sounds useful!

 

[cetvrtak]

I sometimes can declare war on other fellow vassals even when my Liege has level 3 Crown Authority. In one instance he (Byzantine Emperor) had a Secret exposed so we all got a hook on him and were able to declare war. But I've seen his successors having high authority and I was still able to declare wars. Am I missing something here?

Dear Blokes,

there was a murder at my court. A courtier murdered another courtier. I cannot imprison the murderer without being a tyrant. If I read the Wiki correctly, this is Working As Intended, since apparently I can only punish murder directed at myself or my family. Er, really? I am the ruler, no? I should be able to punish murderers, no? Or am I missing something?

That the murdered courtier was my friend does not improve the matter.

Thanks!

According to x4077's reply several posts above, you should be able to imprison him.

Murder/attempted murder oddly enough does not grant a title revocation reason, only imprisonment, execution, and banishment.

Edit: Same post

Unfortunately murder is only a crime to the affected parties based on faith, which is kinda silly. So yes, as @Captain B is experiencing, murder does not grant an imprisonment reason to just any liege, only to the dynasty of the victim. Paradox's logic that adultery and fornication somehow allow anyone to imprison you but murder only allows a party with standing to arrest you is beyond my comprehension.

Maybe they thought there were so many murderers back then that imprisoning them all would break the game balance.
