Next you have Christian lands that are ruled by vassals of a different king than yours. It is easier to gain land and therefore create titles by conquering lands that are under Muslim control. Should your new title be of higher rank than the previous (for example a Count becoming a Duke or a Duke becoming King) your main character will move to his new capital. When you manage to get enough land to create the title you will have to pay 100 gold in order to have it created. The option of creating a title opens up when you control at least one province associated to that title. For instance, if you wish to become the Duke of Brittany, you or your vassals have to control 4 of 6 provinces. You can create titles provided that you control 2/3 of the provinces that form the region to be controlled by the title you wish to create. If your reputation becomes too bad your vassals might not deem you worthy of their loyalty. Reputation is important, because this is one of the ways that other characters judge your ruler.

Note that player control stays with the dynasty, not the titles. Due to the different types of succession law, there are different things to look out for, as well as different ways of getting a new heir. It is therefore quite important to think ahead and secure an heir from within your own dynasty. If this character is of a different dynasty from your ruler, you might lose the game. When a ruler dies, his titles pass to a new character. Be careful, many traits have positive AND negative effects - and many stick with your characters for life. An example: the character Robert de Hauteville, Duke of Apulia, can be read as Robert of the de Hauteville dynasty.Īny action you take, especially those involving the raising of children, will result in your characters acquiring certain character traits. In CK, the dynasty is known by the last name of the characters. One of your most important tasks as a ruler is to secure your inheritance for your kin, and ensure that you have family to pass the inheritance to.
If your dynasty loses power or dies out, you lose the game. 9.3 The king is unmarried and childlessĪs a ruler, you are the head of a dynasty, and your fate as a player stands and falls with your kin.9.1 I have Elective Law, and the heir is not from my dynasty.8 Things to look out for in the beginning.
