Automatically disbanding my faction?

[dulcamara]

I'm playing as a high-intrigue Count of Najera - have assassinated King Antso shortly after he acquired more territory in a holy war, and then was conveniently named regent over his young heir. So I've founded a faction to enact my strong claim on the kingdom of Navarre and am waiting to build up enough gold to make my move.

Problem is, at some point this faction automatically disbands. I'm then unable to start another faction aside from the CK2+ stock options like Tradition, Court, Prosperity - nothing else is displayed and nowhere is a call-to-arms option for that claim.

Tried going back to a prior autosave and this seems to happen again & again at the same date. But otherwise can't figure out any status changes or known actions that have caused it. I've noticed a couple other times factions have disbanded without any prompting, but this is the first time it's screwed up some of my central plans.

Can anyone more familiar with CK2+ fill me in on what's going on? Or is it just a glitch?

Thanks in advance.

Was the date your faction was disbanded exactly two years after the young king gained the thrown?

Ah, indeed it was! Is there something in CK2+ that disables pretender factions after 2 years? If so, seems odd, plus there was no message or tooltip explaining such.

This is base CK2, since Conclave: after two years of reign, the council is content and council-members can no longer be part of factions. CK2+ excepted the 4 CK2+ interest factions.

Ha, thanks for informing my dumb ass. You'd think after 500+ hours I'd have those basics down, guess I haven't logged much sub-king playing time on Conclave.

However it would be nice if there was just a quick message prompting when this occurs - it's a little immersion-breaking when mechanics force things like that with zero notice or info.

I'm fairly certain this message does pop in one of the info tabs, you've just probably silenced it.
