Anscarids

[unmerged(90249)]

Not sure if it is the time to ask, but would it be the House of Anscarids represented.

It was one of most powerfull familly of the time Frame (King of Italy, King of Spains and then Emperor of Spains, Count of Burgundy, Prince of Orange , Stadthoudler of Holand ...).

2 reasons to ask : one is family pride let say; the other more importatn game wise would be the importance of familly relations and how various parts of a familly may (or may not) stand together even they are located far away.

Assuming Franche Comté is included as a county I'd say yes. If counties are ommitted from the game as in CK-I (not sure whether that was the case for Franche Comté) than the dynasty might still appear as courtiers (as happened for a number of county ruling families in CK-I)...

Also there are now the Baronies "tier" of nobles, so the chance of anyone not being in CK1 with their own title could pop up as a baron instead .. and from there they could go on to greater things.

Paradox said that "Barons are represented as characters". Nothing about Baronies yet (unless I've missed something)

Same thing really ... as they have said, that each county will have a number of barons/baronies depending on the wealth of the county, and those will be full characters with ambitions and personalities.

So families who are not represented as landed nobles in CK1 can be in CK2 .. just as barons instead of counts.

But yeah, it also kinda depends on how they implement these new barons.

Well in CK1, it was BEsancon (a vice-county IRL), having an anscarid as count.

The question , based on that familly, is more about about how familly relations (different from vassalage relations) will or can or will not be handled by the game. Obviously, even if it was also an anscarid in Spain, France Comte, or Orange was not his primary interest. But in case of vendetta, things may have be different.

About baronies, well I choosed that familly because the estates were quite important (2 kingdoms, one principality that would join with Holland , one marquisat in Italy, the burgundy county that was extrmely rich due the slat mines ...).

Forget to precise : the familly it self is not that important, I am using my ancestors as exemple. Obviously if I need to have a Count Raymond III I simply have to mode the correct file.

The question is how action done against a member of a familly (HRE take away from Raymond III the county for exemple) may or may not influence other members of the familly (drop in relation btw HRE and Castille+Aragon)? Will that happend in the case of filiation? Will that happend in the case of collateral branch (Burgundy Spain was a collateral of Orange and Franche Comte)?
