How do you peacefully expand in Ckplus?

[Dovenius]

I am new player and thoroughly enjoying this love mod of yours! In my vanilla runs, one of the stuff I do to expand as a peaceful ruler is to get claimants in my territory then war,win,conquer the new land. This method doesn't seem to work for CKplus since the claimants needs me to be their de jure ruler which is a problem if I am trying to expand to foreign kingdoms/empires.

Also I would love some tips or perhaps link me a guide for Ckplus I would really appreciate it.

This is more of a Quick questions thread question.

You have a strange definition of expansion by peace

Relatives bypass that rule completely, so get people of your dynasty with claims to push, via strategic marriages and the like. (assuming the claim isn't of equal or higher to your highest title, ofc). Another method that everyone seems to not know exists, might be DLC locked, is to force neighboring realms into a tributary via diplo action. They'll either accept, refuse but off you money and prestige instead (which you can refuse and DoW to force them), or just outright refuse which will cause a war to force the action. If they are below your rank eventually you can attempt to formally vassalize them, which will cost some prestige and the target may rebel instead of accepting that.

There is no guide written for CK2+, be it formal or otherwise.
