Hi, I am new to the game and played a little bit of CK2, but not much. What are the ways to get more counties in my realm. As of now I have only 5 while my limit is 8 and would like to add more, but not expand. Is murdering the chain of heirs until I as a liege do inherit them the only way?
Thank you

If you have duchy and don't want to expand, but you have vassals inside that duchy you can order your bishop to make claims on your vassals counties. Also you need to check if your crown authority allows revocation of titles. You can also revoke titles by being duke, but it costs renown and is not worth it.

Also if you don't like intrigue or conflicts you can play the long game. Search for claimants, daughters and marry your family members with claimants far in line of succession.

Then I (Luthfried II) died. From the succession, my heir (Luthfried III) have Alsace and my brother (Daniel) gets Brabant.
I ((Luthfried III) also got a pressed claim on duchy of Brabant from the succession. (not quite sure why)

The reason you received a pressed claim on the duchy of brabant was because your brother inherited it and went independent. This allows you two to sqabble over inheritance in a succession crisis after your father died.

Then I died and my heir (Grandson, Luthfried IV) didn't get Brabant claim. But I (Luthfried IV) did get unpressed claim to Transjurania (my uincle Hartwig).
Which again idk why I got unpressed/pressed claim from succession. Whether it was because the heir is my grandson or it was just random, idk.

This is because it was your grandson that inherited. If you have a pressed claim, your children recieve an unpressed claim, and their children receive no claim. This is also why you received the unpressed claim for tranjurania. You, Luthfried III held transjurania, so your first son would have had a pressed claim, which then becomes an unpressed claim for his son, Luthfried IV.

I am playing on ironman so I don't know how to show you claims which deceased people had.

I don't believe you can view this, but you can work it out. Title holder -> children of title holder get pressed -> children of pressed claim holder get unpressed -> children of unpressed claim get nothing.

Does this help? Feel free to @ me if you want more help.

Has anyone gotten the Crusader trait, or any Great Holy War trait for that matter? I won a crusade and my niece, who was beneficiary, got the Crusader Queen trait after becoming queen of the conquered Kingdom, but none of my knights got the Crusader trait. According to the wiki, the trait is in the game, but when I try to search for the trait nothing appears.

Yeah I've gotten Crusader a few times. To get the Crusader trait you need to be either commanding an army or be a knight in the target kingdom of the crusade. So for example if the target is the kingdom of jerusalem, you need to be fighting within that kingdom, which might not happen if you are fighting them in their land adjacent to the kingdom. I found I got it straight away as soon as I started besieging a castle in the kingdom of jerusalem.

Is there any way for me to be a knight for my liege? I was playing as Earl Alfred of Devon and really wanted to get some knight action in, but i couldn't figure out how to become one.

I think if you have high enough prowess he will assign you automatically, but I'm not certain.

I had over 20 prowess. Maybe my liege was forbidding me?

How do i get Longbowmen I started as an Anglo-Saxon count in 1066 and have changed culture to English but still don't see longbows as a men-at-arms option

I think you need certain tech for that.

 

[blackzcracker]

I think you need certain tech for that.

Thanks. Yeah I was thinking you might need 'Advanced Bowmaking' in the High medieval stage but it only mentions crossbows

Man loving the game, but this is making me crazy for some reason.
1 - How are vassal levies calculated?
2 - Total levies don´t match the levies for that vassal (realm panel total number versus actual levies in vassal character panel). Sometimes by a small number (smaller than 10), sometimes more. Relations doesnt seem to modify this number.
3 - There is a bar for every vassal, filled at various degrees. What does represent this?

And a last one, is there a way to sort vassals by relations?

Does anyone know why in 867 start, West France and Aquitaine are both set to be inherited by the first son of Charles the Bald, instead of Aquitaine going to the other son alive? It actually keeps not splitting after the death of his son and grandson in my game...

Are there any options to sort my court by marriage?

What's a good way to disinherit/kill own child? I know I can disinherit them, but it cost 150 renown, wondering if there is an alternative...

Someone on another thread suggested sending them into battle as knights.

What is actually the difference between leasing and owning with regards to the realm priest? What would be different if the realm priest just owns all bishoprics and they are inherited via clerical appointment?

 

[Xelos]

Hey! Are you going to create a pack with supernatural events, artifacts/treasures and orders like it was in CK2? The game is amazing and yet it is something I miss a lot, it added in CK2 a lot of role-playing flavour and would be wonderful to see it back in CK3.

How do I upgrade tribal holdings to feudal holdings as a feudal lord? I searched every nook and cranny, but no dice.

When you have a realm priest you lease them to him and he gets all the levies/tax from them. He also functions as a kind of liege for your vassal's realm priests, taking tax and levies off them. If he endorses you, the higher his opinion of you the more of those taxes and levies he will contribute to you.

If you don't have theocracy and instead own the temples yourself, the function as holdings the same way as you hold your castles. This means you'll get more piety/levies/tax from them, at the cost of not being catholic.

I checked. Level of devotion doesn't show up int the tooltip, but it's not connected to the language settings:

Is anybody else experiencing this "issue"? Just a minor thing, I know.

@Mrop :
Are you using an internal build for screenshots by chance?

Anyone know what the rules are for vassals starting offensive wars outside their realm? Can they just do whatever they want or are there some restrictions?

Does one of the titles have elective succession and the other not? Might be that he's been elected for the one title and then gets the other one via Partition.

Can we create dinasties and characters before we start a game?
