It's a crime, so you can probably imprison him. Of if you have a claim on his county you should be able to take it without tyranny.

Are we sure the exclave rule is actually working? I know naval range generosity is loving with it, clearly, but drat if I don't see random counties still popping up under the control of some massive empire a continent away

Apparently it only works for independent rulers. If a king's vassal conquers some poo poo at the other side of the map, it won't break apart.

Does fabricating a hook allow you to avoid the tyranny penalty for revoking a title or is it just the personal opinion penalty from the title holder

You still get tyranny. You need a claim on the county to prevent it.

Under partitioning you can never give your primary heir titles unless they're going to inherit them anyways. Your primary heir will get your primary top title, and the primary titles under that (primary kingdom, primary duchy, primary county).

Your other children will seem to try to inherit that many number of titles, so it's going to blow through all your counties super fast just to equalize it.

Confederate partition will break off to make new duchies and kingdoms, so you can't keep everything under a single title if you have the territory to create another one. Regular partition will not create new titles. High partition will attempt to keep all the primary land together under your primary heir.

How it splits it up after that is a bit harder to predict.

Is confederate what Ireland has in the early start? Because I haven't really had any troubles losing anything on succession (yet). Is it because my top tier title (Kingdom of Ireland) just automatically controls everything?

Like I'll start losing poo poo if I form Wales/England before I get the Empire of Britannia title?

I think most tribes start with confederate partition. But as you point out, if you only have one top title (and you don't have the land to create say, Wales) partition will keep you under one title. However, if you conquered Wales and kept them under Ireland, Confederate Partition will create the Kingdom of Wales and hand it off to a child when you die, if one is available to inherit.

If you switch to normal partition, you can conquer the rest of Wales, England, and Scotland, and as long as you don't create the top title, partition will not create those and split the Kingdom.

Do you know where the button is for that? I clicked around everywhere and didn’t see it. But also my guy had a diplomacy of 1 so I am guessing he had some stuff locked

Should just be in the right-click diplomacy settings.

If he has land in your De Jure England it might not let you set him free. Revoke some English counties from him and see if that helps.

If she’s your liege, there a liege’s council tab in the council window to see her spymaster.

You can set your spymaster to hostile scheming, which will add a chunk of power to that plot.

If you go to the intrigue window, you can see if there are any agents helping you or available. Click on the k vote agents button and you can see her court. Some people will have joined automatically, but you also see people you can bribe or use a hook to join your plot as well. Invite agents and your success rate will go up.

I think fervor is a bit too good at what it's trying to do. Third game in, and I've never seen a game that didn't have Europe split between Waldensianism and Catharism by the year 1000.

I'd like if there was still something like Moral Authority in place to give some of the established religions some stability, and have fervor as some sort of temporary modifier.

Is there a known bug with betrothals not firing when they're supposed to? I started playing as an heir and he still had a betrothal when both of them were in their 20's. When I clicked the "Betrothed Can Marry" alert it said she would accept, but I couldn't push the button to make it happen. The tool tip only said something like "You *cannot* send this request" with no indication as to why. All my googling just brings up CK2 and not CK3.

Double check the spouse to be. I have had this happen if they have something happen that would disinherit them, like being turned into a eunuch, taking the vows, or becoming part of a holy order. It doesn't break the betrothal automatically, but it doesn't let you hit the button.

My wife was exposed to having an affair which produced a child (twins, actually). Since that was all exposed, shouldn't it have taken the kids out of my inheritance? I have to manually disinherit them as house head a few years later, since they were still considered my dynasty.

e: It's a nice touch in game. My character, his father, and all of his other children are these giant, brawny people with dark hair. The twins are small and blonde.

Regarding this protection, being a vassal doesn't stop enemy rulers from declaring war to steal your counties (and I suppose duchies later on), and your negligent and/or malicious liege could decide to do absolutely nothing to stop it.

Yeah. As Duke of Flanders, Sweden did a duchy conquest on me. The King of France never even showed up and I didn't get any sort of notification. All of a sudden there were just thousands of angry bearded assholes running around my territory.

Assuming you haven't changed any of the control settings, hover over your prestige gain in the top right until the window locks in place. Then you can hover over the modifiers and see what they're coming from, and why.

Strong vassals can go out on their own and conquer poo poo for you, and it might be easier to placate a few unhappy strong vassals compared to dozens of weaker ones.

It's a bit of a balancing act, but the vassal limit is enormous so you shouldn't run into that problem.

One non-balance DLC feature I'd really like is the ability to select who my player heir is going to be separate from my primary heir. There's a bit of abuse shielding you'd have to do here, but sometimes I'd rather play the younger son out on the periphery and leave dad's Kingdom to my older brother or whatever.

This is a request I've had for a long time. Sometimes after I have the empire built, I just want to play as my duke cousin or someone else in the dynasty and do something with them.

You can switch characters on the fly in CK3, but I don't know if it works in ironman and doesn't quite have the same transition feel.

It's think it's more of a request to cycle through them quickly with an option to kill, ransom, ignore, to quickly go through everyone in the prison, rather than just hit one of the mass-orders to deal with them all the same. Even with an exclude from mass toggle it can be cumbersome to manage a large amount of prisoners with any precision.
