If the target is chrsitian you, or someone in your court has to have a claim on a person's title to DoW them. If it is somone in your court with the claim they will get the title at peace, not you; so only use that for lower titles*. You can send your chancellor out to fabricate claims, or invite other claiments to your court.
You should always have a holy war cb against pagans/heathens, I think.
EDIT: *If you are a count and go to war to press a courtier's claim on a county, the countier will get the county and you will get nothing. If you were a Duke the claiment would still get the county, but he would be your vassal.
EDIT2: Same if you were a King and fought to press a Ducal (is that the right word?) title.

So stupid question: How do i press a courtiers claim? Never seemed to work for me as a count, wouldnt even mind if he get the other county, just would like to know in general, i cant find it on the ruling counts options nor on the courtiers ones.
You can't declare war if you have levies raised. Mercenaries are fine.
You should be able to press a claim if you have a courtier with a claim, provided your levies aren't raised. If you don't have any courtiers with a claim, however, you cannot press one, because there wouldn't be one to press.

Well i DO have a lot of courtiers with claims, but hoe do i actually press them , the Declare war button is always greyed out.
Are you trying to declare war on a count ? Does that count have a liege ? If yes, then you need to declare war on the liege. If that liege also has a liege, you need to declare war on him.
The tooltip over the declare war button should tell you why you can't. Are you trying to declare against another Vassal under the same Liege? Crown Authority might be preventing that.
How can I reduce crown authority to be able to declare war on other vassals of my liege?
Thats it, stupid me, did it in the demo but somehow forgot totally about it in the game. Is there some kind of law or low crown authority that lets counts fight it out among themselves with their own cores?
Sorry to kinda hijack your thread here, but I have also have a question about war.
Where can I find the number of troops someone can muster ? f.e. my liege, the Doge of Genoa, has one county where he can muster 1.07k troops. But when he does raise his levies, it's only around 200 men, so can someone explain this a little for me ?
Because if I eventually declare war upon him, I don't want to have a nasty surprise by finding out he has WAY more troops then he's showing me.

the number of troops your liege can rally is affected by your opinion of him AND the kingdom laws (both crown laws AND levy laws).
Basically, the liege summons what you owe him (affected by laws) minus a number of men you're hiding/volunteering (affected by your opinion of him). You keep the rest

And what about his own provinces ? Can I see what he will throw against me when I declare war ?
the might of the whole realm? plus mercenaries if he has funds.
you could always check by saving the game, reloading as him, checking the military tab, then returning to your game once you're satisfied
an easy in-game way without save-reloading is by checking the county tab, and seeing the max levy number, and assume that he gets the full levy if he owns the baronies, and only a small amount if he doesn't (depending again on crown and levy laws, which you could check on the law tab: higher laws = more men).
