When I first started playing CK, I seem to be able to recall being able to grab a county title for cheap, like 35 prestige points. Now every time I start a game it costs around 200 prestige points to grab a county title. Anybody got any idea of what the problem is?:confused:
 
I had that happen once. I started a game as a nation. Titles were cheap but the game went badly and was soon over. I restarted the same nation and count titles cost like 200 each. Somehow though, they went back to normal a few years later.

If grabbing titles is at 35 or less, then the person(s) you are trying to grab titles from are excommunicated. On 'Normal' difficulty setting, I think the prices are around 130+ pr. county. But the price depends on wealth of the province. So Byzantion will be alot more expensive than Orkney.

So if the price is 35 and the guy/girl isn't excommunicated, then something is wrong, and 200 is most likely the correct price.

Come to think of it, you might both be confusing Grab Title with Usurp Title. Usurping a title is much cheaper than grabbing it, but that can only be used for Ducal and King titles, and you need to hold at least 2/3s of the provinces that make up the title area to do that.
 
I found this on another forum: might help you.

whenever you increase your rank, count -> duke -> king, save your game and reload it. that seems to be the only work around for the crazy prestige price hikes.

You are absolutely right :) ... though if you haven't reloaded after getting a new primary title (this also applies if you lose your King or Ducal title), the prestige prices for grabbing a title usually goes way up, not down.
