What to do to appoint female ministers/nobles?

[onthehiway2hell]

I can't seem to figure out what i have to do to be able to appoint female ministers or to give females landed titles. Is this something I need to research or is it in the inheritance laws? Any help would be appreciated. Playing as Apulia.

You need to have Absolute Cognatic inheritance law in order to land females. My understanding is that this is only available if you play the Basque culture (Navarra in Iberia).

Correct, you can only land females if you have absolute cognatic law. However, you only need to be Basque to change to that law--if you already have absolute cognatic inheritance, you can be of whatever culture you like. (You still can't appoint female counselors.)

Technically you can make a woman your spymaster, but even then it has to be either your mother or wife. Beyond that you would need mods.

For the cognatic succession law, go to the succession_law.txt file and mod it so that that you don't have to be of basque culture to use it.

For female councillors, I'm going to give you the coding I use in my yet unreleased mod:

Chancellor

for the 'allow' trigger, enter this:

allow = {
OR = {
is_female = no
trait = naive_appeaser
trait = underhanded_rogue
trait = charismatic_negotiator
trait = grey_eminence
}
is_adult = yes
prisoner = no
NOT = { trait = incapable }
}

Marshal

for the 'allow' trigger, enter this:

allow = {
OR = {
is_female = no
trait = misguided_warrior
trait = tough_soldier
trait = skilled_tactician
trait = brilliant_strategist
}
is_adult = yes
prisoner = no
NOT = { trait = incapable }
}

Steward

for the 'allow' trigger, enter this:

allow = {
OR = {
is_female = no
trait = indulgent_wastrel
trait = thrifty_clerk
trait = fortune_builder
trait = midas_touched
}
is_adult = yes
prisoner = no
NOT = { trait = incapable }
}

Spymaster

for the 'allow' trigger, enter this:

allow = {
OR = {
is_female = no
trait = amateurish_plotter
trait = flamboyant_schemer
trait = intricate_webweaver
trait = elusive_shadow
}
is_adult = yes
prisoner = no
NOT = { trait = incapable }
}

With the above coding in the job_titles.txt file, you can appoint females to council provided they have the appropriate education.
