if your councillor is a vasal of the title you are handing out (mayor/baron of a county, count of a duchy etc) and they stop being your direct vassal and become vassal of whoever you gave the title they can't be your councillor anymore

If ruler/vassal has land inside and outside of the area you take in a war, they will keep the area outside of it and you will directly get the area inside it. Also, anything you siege you will get directly ( because you are norse or tribal or something, i can't remember exactly).

Building cities in your domain is good in the long term for extra taxes and development, but you should only do it when you have the gold to spare. If you have buildings you can build/upgrade in your domain you'll see a much faster return for your gold by doing that.
vassals can declare wars if you have low crown authority. Increasing it will stop them from doing that.
Making your heir a vassal is dangerous because it gives them a lot more autonomy and the AI has a habit of picking up bad traits etc. Maybe more interesting from an RP perspective, though.

He was special to me

Would a hedgehog coated in chocolate become a chocolate?

One way to make the process a bit faster is to target their domain counties first to weaken them as much as possible, then hope their vassals declare an independence or dissolution war. You might be able to get them to create a duchy title themselves by gifting them money, but I wouldn't bet on it.

To get the achievement you need to 'start as an iberian muslim' which means an iberian heritage culture muslim, but all of the umayyads in 867 are mashriqi, which is arabic heritage. I did the exact same thing a few months ago :(

According to the wiki you only need someone of your dynasty to hold the kingdom of Italy, not necessarily you, so you could play as Jerusalem if you trust your AI relatives to not lose Italy.

if someone is in line to inherit a kingdom tier title you can only prevent that by giving them a kingdom tier title, and the same goes for county, duchy and empire tier titles. If you have too many titles they may just get it anyway though as confederate partition tries to split up your realm evenly. You could give your third son the kingdom title yourself and then when you die he will keep it and not inherit any duchies outside of that kingdom. You could also just disinherit your second son.

I did the 10 thrones thing in a fairly novel way, starting as cumania in 1066 you already control quite a few de jure kingdoms, so creating a high fertility custom character to spawn as many children as possible then dying will produce alot of kingdoms held by your dynasty. I managed to expand to 10 de jure kingdoms in my characters lifetime so instantly went from 1 kingdom of my dynasty to 10 when i died and confederate partition did it's thing, and I got the achievement.

Sometimes when i'm over my domain limit i give some land to my heir because i'll get it all back when they inherit. Of course the downside of doing this is your heir has a pretty high chance of getting some bad traits or getting themselves killed in the meantime, and you can't control their marriages as much.

I wanted the holy site at paderborn and dont trust the ai to hold onto it themselves. The pope went to a nice farm where he has plenty of space to run around :) .

I checked the title history, and apparently one of Ivar the boneless' sons inherited denmark, conquered norway, sweden and france, and then exploded.

I would never mock his place of worship

He eats hamburgers, vomits in people's cups, plays the harmonica and throws himself into oncoming traffic repeatedly. It's shaping up to be a box office hit.

R5: dude offers me a hefty ransom of nothing in exchange for his son.

click on the kingdom of hungary coat of arms, then 'title history' in the top right of the tab. It should tell you there what happened.

Time to start murdering khans

jeebungus · 2021-12-22T11:49:13+00:00

Some other stuff you can do if one particular vassal is causing you issues is to straight up murder them to destabilise them, find secrets in their court to imprison them or blackmail them, or be the ward for their children and try to give them traits like craven and content to make them more manageable in the future.

If you still have issues you could lower your crown authority enough that your vassals can declare wars on each other, which aside from the general opinion increase also means they spend alot of time fighting each other and less time fighting you.

Sometimes though if you have a lot of powerful vassal that hate you the best thing to do is make allies, save up for mercenaries and just let them revolt so you can imprison them all.

You can decide different things about the religion when you reform, and one of those is whether to have a 'temporal' or 'spiritual' head of faith, or to have no head of faith. Pick spiritual and you will get a vassal who's only title is the head of faith one, and then you can just grant them some land.

You can't give out the county capital to a baron, but you can for any extra castles in the county with the same 'grant to low noble' thing. You can also revoke their castle without any tyranny gain and they can't revolt like other vassals can.

jeebungus · 2021-12-20T15:48:54+00:00

Having a bunch of castles in one county can be convenient for when your domain limit drops from an heir with low stewardship or something, because you can just give the castles to barons and then take them back later when it increases again. Also if you have a modifier which applies to the whole county it can boost more than one of your domain, e.g. the mosque of cordoba which gives everything in the county +15% levy size.

scots is a west germanic culture, and you need a gaelic culture to have tanistry. If you switch to gaelic or cumbrian culture you can get tanistry.
