If you're doing nothing the war will be dragged on leaving the empire vulnerable, negating the benefit of being a vassal.Also try to have alliances throughout the realm. You should always be fighting for one side or the other, because you want to keep the empire stable but the emperor weak. You have to watch the factions tab and see which ones are getting very dangerous.You'll want to join those that keep crown authority at low. Made it easier to get just what I needed.). Ck2 De Jure Duchies YДue to one of my mods, though, I could also introduce diplomats, warriors, spies, etc. (I used those buttons a LOT when I was trying to repopulate the world with Zoroastrians as a Zoroastrian ruler. They'll always be generated as a member of your religion and culture, so they'll always like you to start with.

Click that, pay a little gold, you have a new member of your court who you can give a title to. There's a button where you can introduce a noble, holy man or debutante to the court. I'm assuming they probably mean the buttons under the Intrigue screen. I could always give it to someone from the court or one of my other vassals but that might complicate things down the road. I got a hold of a city from Venice but it's putting me over my demesne limit so I need to shove it on to something and it would be rather convenient to create a vassal out of thin air.

Hopefully the Mongols can take them down a peg.On an unrelated note, I've noticed people mentioning a 'create a vassal' button, but I can't find that anywhere. As far as I can tell Croatia is kinda stupid placed for empires because I don't dare messing with the HRE, the Byzantines are pretty massive, and the Cumans control at least half of a potential Carpathia. When it reaches 100 years, it will become a de jure part of the controlling Kingdom.The same thing happens with de jure kingdoms drifting between empires.If you look at the different de jure maps you should be able to see how far each duchy and kingdom has drifted.If one king owns two kingdoms, even though they would display on the map as just the primary Kingdom, the duchies would not drift from one kingdom into the other. If that kingdom loses control for a while, it will tick back towards 0 each year it is not controlled. I don't think that counties do drift, only duchies into kingdoms and kingdoms into empires.Basically if a duchy is completely controlled by another kingdom (not just the duchy title, but all the de jure counties and baronies below), it will tick one point towards 100 each year. Also for this to occur i do beleive that the holder of the dejure duchy should also be the same culture group as the ruler of the kingdom is becoming part of (i could be wrong).And to the second question no it can not be sped up its always a 100 years as your vassal.Now a part of this that can get confusing is if the king of England then forms the Kingdom of wales at which point the counter for the duchy to turn to a de jure part of England is stopped since it is now technically part of the Kingdom of Wales.Hope this helps:D. If the duchy is a vassal to england for a 100 years straight then it becomes a dejure part of England. If you don't you will incur -50 opinion with all de jure vassals of the duchy.ДЇor the first question: It works when a duchy that is dejure part of one kingdom (lets say the Kingdom of Wales) is a vassal to another kingdom (lets say england). I also want to add that this applies only in case that you own all the counties in the relevant duchy.

It's giving you some prestige as has been said, whereas destroying it costs prestige. If you own two duchies total or less, then keep the duchy until this changes. Allow them to have their distributed areas. Retract- and transfer vassal can help, but will generate unhappiness and revolts. Be able to completely stop this since dukes and their vassal counts inherrit and conquere lands outside the initial du-jure duchies. I prefer to make this a county within the de jure duchy unless I am deliberately trying to change the ducal borders (since they may want both the duchies and that can cause trouble if you're unprepared), but it can be any county title at all to satisfy the requirement that a duke also have at least one county.
