Creating Patriarchs

[DominusNovus]

Another idea I have: If you're the Byzantines (or, I suppose, any Orthodox realm), when you hold Antioch, Jerusalem, or Alexandria, you could install a Patriarch (king-level Bishop, similar to Pope and Ecumenical Patriarch). The tier of title already exists, so thats a plus.

I'm looking at the Rising Empire mod to see how to create titles, but how would you go about creating a decision to create a title for another character? Specifically, a character that, in all likelyhood, isn't a direct vassal of yours (for example, Antioch starts the game in Byz hands, but the Bishop there is a vassal of the local Doux of Antioch, not the Emperor).

Alright, I looked at this from a different point of view: Instead of a decision for the Emperor (which I would prefer), create a decision for the Bishop. This is what I came up with, if someone would take a look and see if it would work:

decisions = {
	create_k_pantioch = {
		is_high_prio = yes	
		potential = {	
			primary_title = { title = b_stsymeon }
			holder_scope = { religion = orthodox }
			NOT = { primary_title = { tier = KING } }
			NOT = { any_independent_ruler = { has_landed_title = k_pantioch } }
		}
		allow = {
			primary_title = { title = b_stsymeon }
		}
		effect = {
			      k_pantioch = {
                              gain_title = FROM
				is_titular = yes
			}
         }
		revoke_allowed = {
			always = no
		}
		ai_will_do = {
			factor = 100
		}		
	}
}

Edit: And here's what I put together by editing to the ecumenical patriarch title:

k_pantioch = {
	color={ 255 198 249 }
	color2={ 220 220 0 }
	
	capital = #?#
	
	title = "_PATRIARCH_OF_ANTIOCH"
	foa = "PATRIARCH_OF_ANTIOCH_FOA"
	short_name = yes

	# Always exists
	landless = yes
	
	# Cannot be held as a secondary title
	primary = yes
	
	# Regnal names
	male_names = {
		Alexios Antonios Athanasios Basileios Chariton Dionysios Dositheos Eustathios Eustratios Euthymios
		Gennadios Georgios Gerasimos Germanos Gregoras Ioannes Iosephos Isidoros Kallistos Konstantinos
		Kosmas Leon Leontios Loukas Makarios Manuel Maximos Metrophanes Michael Neophytos Nephon Niketas
		Nikolaos Nilos Matthaios Paulos Sergios Sisinnios Symeon Theodoros Theodosios Theodotos
	}
}

Ok, tried testing putting that decision and that title in and letting the game run. Didn't seem to work. Also, somehow, it really messed with shields all over the place (France has Navarra's shield, for example). Any thoughts?

Edit: Also, doesn't help that, since this is a decision for a bishop, there's no real way to see if its showing up, since players can't be bishops.

Just bumping this to see if any better modders could tell me what I'm doing wrong.
