Moding how to press courtier claims without landing him first. Help.

[bradebuque]

As the title says: is there a file in the ck2 folder that I can edit in order to press courtier claim without having to land him first?

I don't have ck3 but I have seen in the forum that you don't need to land the courtier in order to press his claim. It would be nice if this was the case in ck2.

Thanks.

You don't have to land courtiers in CK2 either to press their claims. You probably want to retain that courtier as your vassal when you do so. That's done in common\cb_types\00_cb_types.txt, other_claim.

Thank you, but I have read the file and I can't understand it's computer language. Nevermind.

Do you know if there is a mod that keep the courtier as your vassal without having to land him first? Thanks.

There might be mods that do that, but I don't know of any that do. It is pretty straightforward to do it yourself, however.

Look for "# try and vassalize, but only conditionally" in the other_claim CB's on_success_title block. You should find "ROOT = { dynasty = FROMFROM }" ten or so lines below that. Right below that line, put "FROMFROM = { higher_real_tier_than = ROOT }" (without quotation marks) on a new line before the line with the next "}" and save the file. This will make the claimant (ROOT) a vassal of the person pressing the claim (FROMFROM) if FROMFROM could be ROOT's liege, disregarding any current temporary titles held by FROMFROM (which otherwise could mess things up).

Additionally, while this is a tiny change script-wise you ideally should set it up as a proper mod rather than doing it in the installation directory, as not doing that means there's a possibility the change will be reverted if there's ever a vanilla patch affecting the same file (unlikely, but...) or you ever end up having to verify the integrity of the game files (as that check can't tell if a change is intentional or not).
