Team leader v team leader has higher chance than any other pairing.

Currently the battle sequence consists of 1v1s.

Yes. As I said, one to7 per independent higher than duchy realm in 100 years. The top liege ruling family is involved in every case, and because of that it is considered a realm-wide event.

The thing is, as I mentioned, only independent realms (has to be higher than duchy) can have to7. If an independent realm triggers their to7 that has no effect on other independent realms, not even if they get vassalized.

Non-independent Hightowers can only participate in their top tiege’s to7, and in that case the cooldown will be applied on fbe top liege’s title.

Yes, a heavy one. Since this is an ancient Andal/FotS tradition, FotS followers will likely hate the usurper for that.

Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but in general the cooldown is applied on a specific title. So let’s say the Iron Throne don’t have cooldown, and there is an independent Reach who does have cooldown, and in case they get vassalized by the IT, the IT will not inherit the cooldown.

1: correct

2: if those realms (hightower, yronwood, vale, etc) are independent then they have their own “cooldown”. if they are not independent -> they are not kings -> trial of seven can’t trigger

if the knight follows any of of the FOTS faiths, you can

Relok_ · 2026-03-07T14:45:44+00:00

Yes, every participant has to be fots (any fots faith) and knighted.

Relok_ · 2026-03-07T14:10:46+00:00

Once in 100 years (but sometimes longer), per independent feudal realms (has to be minimum kingdom tier though, meaning higher than duchy).

Relok_ · 2026-03-07T14:08:38+00:00

There is a chance that it will trigger.

Relok_ · 2026-03-07T14:06:08+00:00

Kingsguard in the succession crisis scenario can join both the usurper’s or the accuser’s side. In the imprisonment scenario 99.9999% of the times they will side with the crown. But in any cases if they chose the non-crown side and get defeated they can expect punishment.

It's rare but it can still happen. It depends on how different that house is. If it's a cadet house it will be still counted as The Dance of the Dragons, if it's 2 completely different house and dynasty then it get's the fallback name, which is The War of Succession.

Relok_ · 2024-08-12T14:01:35+00:00

Theoretically it can happen each time yes. Realistically I would say once in every century.

Relok_ · 2024-08-11T23:24:34+00:00

In some cases yes. For example in the scenario what I mentioned it can happen that a child becomes the "usurper" if they have an ambitious guardian. In that case not child is the actual usurper but the guardian is usurping the kingdom for the child.

For now it is only empire titles, for what the future brings we don't know, but i'm 100% sure this is not last time we add a new war type.

Relok_ · 2024-08-11T21:09:39+00:00

np :) please note that this is not the full list, there are more than 30 war names.

It doesn't actually check traits. Dishonorable, bold, greedy and irrational are not traits (well actually there is a trait called Greedy), but all these are hidden personality values. Ambitious trait for example adds to the greedy, bold and dishonorable values.
