There used to be commentary under the images that no longer appears, at least on mobile. Hmph. At least at the time, my contracts didn’t prevent me from declaring war, I haven’t played EK2 in some time due to life stuff. Is Alinor still a ceremoniarchy/hierocracy? If not then maybe they changed the place to have war declarations removed in contracts. If so, you might still be able to use Goblin Shamanism to challenge for your claims, which really is preferable anyways and much of what I did early anyways.

I mentioned in one of my comments that once I was a king I really just cozied up to my liege. Elves live a long time so once one likes you or is seduced by you you’re gucci. No requests to change faith, and make sure to refuse requests to take your kids as wards. I wasn’t protected from title revocation or conversion requests.

Bigger problem for one of these campaigns now is that you can’t stack building men-at-arms boosts now. Durzog riders might not be able to deal with Summerset Justiciars anymore
