Hallo, i'm not a total new player, but i still got some questions. At the moment i'm playing as the Byzantine Emperor, started as the Duke of Apulia though.
I became King of Sicily with my heir and with his heir Emperor, after offering vassality, converting to orthodox and demand the emperor title in one move.
The ERE was already crumbled, greek lost to a Fatamid invasion, later crusaded by the HRE and became independent, Anatolia was gone long ago and only some minor holdings left in Serbia.
Since they played pingpong with the title, crown authority is down to autonomous vassals. My aim is, of course, to recreate the Roman Empire, but first target is to increase crown authority to low.
I'm used to have all Kingdom titles and increase CA there, so Empire CA does not matter that much but this time i don't want to do that because of the desires it would create by the dukes.
And that is my first problem, of course every christian in the de jure ERE territory can vote, but they all vote no.
Even some of my vassal vassals in Sicily vote no. So my questions are:
To which point do i have to increase opinion that they will vote for me?
Does their vote is fixed or do they change it after their opinion drops again?
Do i have to conquer all de jure ERE citizens that they vote for me?
Now with 1.8 i miss the great Reconquest CB, so how do i conquer the pope?
I could only forge a claim on a vassal count of the pope but not on his own demesne.
Is it only possible to wage war with the HRE for Italy to create the Kingdom and then de jure the pope?
Any hints appreciated
