How do I edit claims?

[Kazmir]

I don't seem to be able to figure out how to properly edit a claim for a character who should have inherited it but didn't.

Here's the line I was trying to put in:

claim = [COLOR="Red"]{ id = { type = 4712 id = 267934 }[/COLOR] [B]character = { type = 4712 id = 485601 }[/B] date = { year = 1272 month = august day = 20 } }

Well the question is rather simple; what does the part coloured red mean? I just copied it from one of the other claims but it didn't work, then tried to change the id into that of the current king but that didn't help much either.

Every claim must have its own unique ID-number, so the number after 'id =' must be unique.

type = 4712 isn't that important AFAIK, it is just tells the game it is a a claim that is created after the game was started, since f.e. claims in the starting scenario-files have 'type = 14712'


So you don't have the change the type-number, just the ID-number.

Ah all right, thank you. I thought the type/ID combination had something to do with character IDs.

Something like the tenth line of the save file will have a line telling you the next free id, btw. Just use that number, then increase the one at the top of the file by one.
