Setting Primary Titles

[Tiax]

If I have a character that holds several titles of equal rank (say King of France and King of England), how do I make it so that England is his primary title and not France?

Move the capital to one of your holdings in England. It is done by clicking on the province you want and in the top left corner of the province window there is a button click that and Bob is your uncle.

Oh, I was maybe a little unclear. I understand how to do it when playing the game. What I'm asking about is how to do it when creating a mod, so that that title appears as primary when the game is first loaded. Is there a way to specify what someone's capital province is in the history files?

Sorry don't know that one.

landed_titles.txt
common\landed_titles
capital = province id

k_england = {
color={ 202 26 26 }
color2={ 255 255 255 }
capital = 32 # Middlesex <-- change this and save

landed_titles.txt
common\landed_titles
capital = province id

k_england = {
color={ 202 26 26 }
color2={ 255 255 255 }
capital = 32 # Middlesex <-- change this and save

Aha!

Thank you!

for primary title:

history\titles

k_england.txt
1154.10.25={ <-- oldest at equal rank must be de primary
holder=204500 #Henry II
conquest_culture = english
}
k_france.txt

1154.10.26={ <-- newest the secondary
holder=204500 #Henry II
conquest_culture = english
}
if you want the ai not change the title try this

in landed_titles.txt


k_england = {
color={ 202 26 26 }
color2={ 255 255 255 }
capital = 32 # Middlesex
dignity= 10 #Counted as having this many more counties than it does<-- increase this

So, I'm having trouble getting the "oldest=primary" to take. I'm setting up a scenario in 1000AD, and I'm looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boles%C5%82aw_I_the_Brave, who hasn't yet been crowned as a king. He holds the various duchies that make up poland, and I want d_greater_poland to show as primary, but the game loads up with Mazovia as his primary.

The greater poland file looks like this:

962.1.1=
{
	holder = 754
}
[B]992.5.24[/B]=
{
	holder = 756
}
1025.6.17=
{
	liege="k_poland"
	holder = 758
}
...

Mazovia looks like this:

962.1.1={
	holder = 754
}
[B]992.5.26[/B]={
	holder = 756
}
1025.6.17={
	liege="k_poland"
	holder = 758
}
...

When I load the game at the 1000AD date, and mouse over the duchy of Mazovia shield to see how long he's been duke of Mazovia, the date that displays is 17 June, 1025, which is the date his successor took the position, rather than when he took the position.

Any thoughts on what might cause this?

add line:
dignity = 1
in landed_titles.txt

d_greater_poland = {
color={ 140 13 13 }
color2={ 255 255 255 }
capital = 429 # Gnieznenskie
dignity = 1 <---
