Restricted De Jure Drift for Titular Kingdoms Question

[Snow Crystal]

Thanks. I cannot find the DD you mention - and I think I've read them all. Could you please point the DD in question to me?

It wasn't actually a DD, but me sharing some thoughts I had at the time. To be more precise, I changed some titular titles (or occasional titular titles) to have a decision to form them, rather than having them float around at all starts. These changes will NOT go live with the upcoming bug fixing patch, but rather with the next expansion down the line, just so nobody gets their hope up.
List of changed titles:

• Socotra (The County has been moved into the Duchy of Socotra, no longer titular)
• Gotland (The County has been moved into the Duchy of Gotland, no longer titular)
• Amalfi (And gotten a Kingdom tier level)
• Castille
• Portugal
• Aragon
• Cyprus
• Powys
• Pisa
• Genoa

Other titles that end up titular, should still work the same way. It was more of a band-aid fix for titles that often stick out in a bad way, rather than a permanent change to the system.

(And I think I deleted that old thread, as I felt a lot of people misunderstood what I was trying to convey, and I didn't want more people to get the wrong ideas. Though I might be entirely wrong here, and it is still floating around )

This has nothing to do with OPs questions.
You changed how the title is created, not the drift mechanics. So capital duchy will still drift into the kingdom first, then those bordering the capital duchy.

I was answering the discussion that happened later in the thread, not the OP's question. I should've probably quoted the guy, so it was clearer.

I guess the right answer is, some titular titles will be created different in the next expansion, but normal De Jure drifting will not be changed whatsoever.

Thanks! Some of these changes also feature in my mod. I never liked floating titular titles!

I still don't understand the restricted drift dynamics though: what matters, the scripted capital or the de facto, in-game capital?

I thought it was the scripted capital, but I honestly haven't looked into it, so I couldn't say for sure without testing it out. My apologies.
