Duchy of Burgundy Puns

should each player decide where to start with the initial castle?

Does anybody know why the de jure duchy of Burgundy is not part of the de jure kingdom of Burgundy? It seems weired to me.

So in case you didn't know already Norton I was basicly a living meme and declared himself Emperor of the US in the 19th century.

Pretty much nobody took him seriously and nobody accepted his claim but the people of San Francisco loved the man, publishing his "decrees" and even following some of them. The "Imperial Norton Dollar" was widely accepted as currency and he became a huge tourist attraction. When he finally died thousands of people turned up to his funeral.

All this is why we can safely assume him to be some sort of pre-event hero-king of the Bayfolk ( At least to them ) and if we look at the fact that he is referenced as the first Emperor of California in the files and title history of the Celestial Empire we know that he is not only known to the Californians but that his (presumably far more controversial) claim to Imperial Dignity has been generally accepted by the people of the Empire.

If we now assume that he is not only a hero to the Bayfolk but also recognized by the Empire at large as Emperor we arrive at the logical conclusion that the people of San Francisco and the Bay would claim him as "their" Emperor and that the nobility and Kings of Grand Francisco would try to use him as proof that they not only could rule the Celestial Empire but SHOULD naturally do so as the Empire was "founded" by a man of the Bay who had wisely and rightly made San Francisco the first "Imperial Capital", using this to claim supremacy over the other warlords,the position of Guvernatus or maybe even the Mandate of Heaven itself.

The average Bayfolk peasant would probably view him as some sort of great mythical Guru (probably of the dove, especially if his "decree" about a League of Nations has been preserved or remembered) second only to The Lawgiver himself or, depending on the current political situation, as his equal or maybe even superior and "true founder" of California; likely being encouraged by the government.

>TL;DR:

>Norton good, Elton bad, thanks for coming to my TED Talk and I would like to join the Dev Team and help out with some of the lore, because this was really fucking fun to write.

So, I tried to take over the Duchy of Barcelona as the Kingdom of Aragon a few decades ago. And while I completely decimated their military, I only managed to conquer one province of theirs. While I do get a load of de Jure claims now, I can only pick on province at a time. This is frustrating, because I know my army can completely wipe out theirs in a swift stroke. Is their a way I can take all their land in 1 go?

Hi there, some of you might know that i am currently developing a cool micronation called Corollia. It is located in Antarctica, and, unfortunately, not many people live there. But citizenship does not require permanent residence , so i want you to ask if you want to be The Citizen of Corollia. If you want to, just let me know in the comments.

Regards,

Illia, The Duke of Corollia

I'm playing my first real game of ck2 and as a petty king I granted a duchy title to someone, and somehow it became a petty kingdom title, so I no longer reign as liege over the lands.

I guess duchies and petty kingdoms are equally tiered, which I hadnt thought about. Can someone explain exactly what happened or point me towards a site that explains when you can or can't grant landed titles while remaining liege?

I kinda screwed myself over as I have a peace treaty with one of the counties in the duchy in question for another 9 years.

Does it add to your demenze limit?

If one county doesn’t belong to you, do you still collect taxes from the owner, even if its from another kingdom?

De jure duchy capital is Rouen but the title owner is currently residing in Amiens. I want an insta-claim on the whole duchy, where do I need to place my chancellor? Thanks.

From this day forth, we elevate Rudolf Von Wittelsbach (/u/AQTheFanAttic) to Duke of Tyrol.

CS694, CS696, CS708, CS707 added to Imperial Britain

As New Year's eve dawns in the Empire, hundreds of members of Aleut tribes were dined by the Emperor in his the Nunavut Hall far to the west. Tribal leaders pleaded to His Majesty for a settlement site where the Aleut peoples are to be governed by their own. Thus, by the Grace of God through the Intercession of His Imperial Highness, the provinces CS694, CS696, CS708, CS707 shall henceforth be known as the Duchy of Aleutia, with His Majesty in temporary possession of the Ducal title.

Hey guys. I've been playing the game for just a week and I have a noobish question. I started in 1066 as a count in Poland. 250 years later I'm slowly taking over east and south and the expansion goes great. But the Holy Roman Empire is so huge, takes over so much space, and has so much power, I really would want to do something about this. Like taking my De Jure duchies they hold. But as far as I know we can only declare war to the highest authority of the realm. And I have still a long way to go before I can face guys with 64k troops.

Like the title of the post says, are there any ways of taking over small territories of theirs without having all 64k troops after me? Or any other ways to weaken those huge empires?
