allright, so i have something i'm wanting to do on my current CK2 playthrough that is eluding me. I have watched the republic of Genoa grow larger and larger, first doing it's normal costal conquest thing, then taking out the Serene republic of Venice, and finaly capturing all but two counties in the kingdom of Sicily. Yeah it's because genoa gets an OP merc force in early game but i want to reward their tenacity. The Doge of genoa has also recently changed his main title to doge of Venice but for somereason can't found the Serene republic. i've been watching for a while with some frustration and i've decided i want to give him the title as an award for building a Sicilian republic. Any ideas on how this can be done? I think the reason the AI can't do this is because he got venice before the dejure assimilation
