I had this idea earlier and I've been pondering if its really doable.

As you know, theres an hardcoded restriction that prevents Emperors from creative King-level titles, in main part to prevent the Holy Roman Emperor from gaming the Elector system.

I dont really like this restriction, so I've been thinking: how about creating a series of Decisions for all King-level titles that don't exist at game start that trigger IF you are Emperor, IF you control 50%+ of the holdings in a de jure Kingdom and IF you aren't under elective monarchy? The latter condition would prevent the early HRE from abusing this. In fact, the decisions could be player-only for all I care, it's really just to add the option.

My questions are mainly:

1. Is this scriptable? Obviously the title and the law parts are, but is there a way to code a trigger based on ownership of a majority of a de jure Kingdom right now?

And if so...

2. Can someone better than I am give me an example of how that would like? If I get a working way to check for majority province ownership, then I can do everything else NP. :)

Also, thoughts on whether you think such a series of decisions would be fun is welcome as well, of course.
 
I'm not really into modding, but i always thought "hardcoded" pretty much means that it is not moddable.

But, to work around this issue, why not just give all the counties / money needed to your heir? he should form the kingdom by himself, and then you will get it, when he inherits.
Or just let some other vassal create the kingdom,make him rebel (court jester + raise levy) and stip the revoke the kingdom title after the war.
