Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Ed Anger]

I like it when the Pope's authority goes into the toilet and Heretics pop up all over.

Teehee.

Barrister would be happy to know that you can essentially become protestant in the game.  Lollardy and Waldensian heresies are essentially proto-protestant (I think the Waldensians are eventually joined the protestant movements.

In my current game as Danish England, it's like 954 AD and I have both Lollard and Fraticelli provinces in the realm.

From 867 I would pick French, German or Italy Duchy.

I love the Count of Nantes in the 867 start.  You have some event troops, so you can take over Brittany if you want, but you also have some ships, so you can go sack Rome or conquer Ireland or similar.  He's independent at the start, so there's no worries about intrigue.  Pretty badass dude in real life as well:

In my current game, my (then petty) king married one of his descendants, and when a nationalist rebellion threw the Hasteinings out of Brittany, I brought them over to England and made one of his grandsons my Marshal.  After he kicked some serious ass for me, I made him the Chief of Cornwall.  Within a generation those fucking Hasteinings turned on me and I had to have them all killed.

So those of you who've played the game and know it well... is there anything I need to do to conquer Jylland and create the Kingdom of Denmark?

I presume that I need to hold X provinces (how many?) to be able to create the title. I already have CBs on everyone, because I'm Norse. Do I need to manufacture a claim before I can properly hold them, or is it enough to just attack and destroy the armies and forts in the area?

How does it work?

In my Scandanvia game, my vassal kings are ripping the shit out of anything that moves. I don't even have to lift a finger to expand the Empire.

I am going to Great Holy War the shit out of Hungary though. Fuckers went Orthodox and the Retinue of Doom will smash the Beetlords.

If you find the Kingdom of Denmark title in the title view screen, you can mouse over the "create" button to see what the conditions are for creation.

In my Ivaring England game, I just let King Knut convert to Catholic.  Will get rid of gavelkind ASAP.

You should have stayed Orthodox when your heir returned with that in the beginning.

Mine are lazy bums who only ever pick on one province minors and only after a great deal of thought and consideration.
Of course, there only being 5 nations in the game doesn't help

Why?

Because you could have got rid of Gavelkind back then and you wouldn't have had to split up England and Scotland.

Catholic has better mechanics than Orthodox and a lot more Holy Orders.

I just had a vassal kingdom suddenly end up not being a vassal with no warnings, out of kingdom inheritances, or anything like that. Any ideas what happened?
