Turned vampires aren't supposed to auto-join your dynasty. For some mechanical reason lowborn do automatically, and you can add your fledglings by targeted decision or they may ask by event.

Yeah, but I don´t have that "Turned me" modifier, so I can´t appoint them as my heir.
 
Does anyone here know rules for turning someone vampire? Right now, I play as vampire queen (from Carsteins) and I want an heir just in case. But, for some reason, all women I turn become their separate dynasty, while men become mine. But I was also able to get both men and women into my dynasty as Vlad (I checked vampire gameplay as him before starting playing normal playthrough). Are there some strange rules for female vampires that prevent this or what?

Perhaps take a look at your gender succession laws? Do they only allow male succession? (Quite likely if you usurped your top title from someone)

On paper it shouldn't matter, but it could just be the result of CK2 engine mechanics affecting the event chain.
 
About the Unite the Empire option. I'm playing as Nordland Graf, independent from Westerland, and i have option "Unite the Empire" in Intrigue menu. I have all required conditions except one - to won as a defender against major Chaos or Undead invasion. Chaos tribes are doing something, but they seem to be far from massive invasion to the south and Vlad is also dead, so how can i get this condition?

The "major Chaos invasion" means to win against a Chaos Incursion, i.e., the daemonic subjugation CB given to all daemon princes. AI basically never become daemon princes because it's hard as fuck (though I have seen one AI daemon prince of Khorne), so that's very unlikely to happen, and even if they did become a daemon prince, that AI would have to decide to specifically declare their daemonic subjugation on you, which seems unlikely.

The only real way to get that "win against invasion" flag is to successfully beat (and not just white peace, but enforce demands) Vlad after he declares war on you using the undead subjugation CB you get from the Carstein ring. If someone else now has the Carstein ring, take note of it because that's what enables that CB. There's also the possibilities of winning against an Orc WAAAGH! or a Cathayan subjugation (the last one is very unlikely since that requires a Cathayan ruler to successfully eliminate the renegade Jade). The Orc WAAAGH! is probably the easiest way other than beating Vlad since they actually happen, unlike incursions or Cathayan subjugation.

All that said, it's far easier to unite the Empire just by subjugating it the old fashioned way and declaring yourself emperor when you have the 160 provinces you need.

It was absolute Agnatic, yet when I played today, I was able to use that option. So, most likely just some issue which fixed itself by now.
 
Thank you very much. PlayMP1. Seems to be i have to wait when orcs will decide to attack me.

I have another question however. What about Magic Colleges now? I saw some character who holds titular title of High Patriach of Colleges, but he was alone, no one in vassals and on his court. College exists, or there is some way to, i dont't know, to create it?

Pretty sure that's just a placeholder, the colleges aren't in yet.

You also don't have to wait to use that decision for the Empire... you can always form it the old fashioned way (conquest).
 
Will Orcs be given the ability to build at least 1 castle? Normally there aren't any problems, but if an orc takes over nomadic lands (like say from a beastman), they can never give that province away since it lacks any holdings to give away.

A right click option to set up a holding on a holding-less province would fix this.

They should probably be able to build Tribes, yes. Unless that negatively affects the "Make the land Green" function?

Be advised that you don't have to be primary defender to get the modifier. The one time I pulled it off was as Riekland allying with someone else under attack by Vlad.
 
I see the Empire is reminiscent of the Holy Roman Empire but is there another nation that more closely resembles the Roman Empire or the Eastern Roman Empire? Would love the thought of creating an Imperium Romanum.

I think the closest we got to that are the Myken, who are sorta Romano-Greeks.

Honestly the High Elves basically serve the role of the roman empire in the setting.
 
The Myken are sort of Graeco-Roman, though they are "homebrew", we made them to fill out a little peninsula whose only city in canon was named "Myrmidens" ( Like IRL Athens ), so we went with the Greek vibe from there.

As Illa says, the closest thing are the High Elves which are sort of a mix of Rome and the USA.

Ummm i always thouth that tyleans represents italians of renaissance, also the name of their cities and leaders are surely italian related, also tilea once had an empire that could be related to the roman empire. I remember the dogs of war miniatures of tileans and i am sure that lorenzo lupo of luccini was surely roman inspired ^^

However i tried luccini yesterday and they have a decision called "restore tylean empire" that ask you to conquer all tylea and estalia.
