Same goes for counts: if you want the guy with the claim to become your vassal after you grab the county for him, he needs to already be a count under your rule (you can avoid this by having him be a member of your dynasty, or also if the county being taken is within your de jure kingdom. If you bring a guy to your court with the intention of pressing his claim on a duchy, I'm pretty sure he will become independent once the claim is pressed and won if 1) the duchy is not in your de jure kingdom, and 2) He does not already have a duchy in your kingdom. there will be situations where you can grant a duchy to a person with a claim on another duchy in order to keep that duchy after you press the claim on it. I just couldn't do it.Īs for your second issue, when you give the duke title to someone, it's only a title at that point, you should either give the duke the counties in the duchy if you own them, or if the counties are controlled by your vassals, do 'transfer vassalage' of the other counties in the duchy (barons most likely) to the new duke if you want to remove the 'desires such and such county' penalty.Īlso. Try to achieve this when you have 60+ counts to take care of and a bad king with no heirs. One of the requisites is that no vassals can have a negative opinion of you. My first game I didn't make any duchies, all counties reported directly to me, which was all fine until I wanted to change a succession law. Dukes are more likely to make improvements on their own (since they gain more money), so less micromanagement.if your duke owns 2 of 3 counties in a duchy, you can press the claim on your own, or you can let him do it himself. Allows your vassals to expand on their own (i.e.
Makes it easier to handle your kingdom (controlling 60 count vassals is harder than controlling 20 duke vassals).
