Ck2 How To Change Religion



Are you new to Crusader Kings 2 and don’t know where to start? You probably encountred the tip to start from Ireland for the begging but the game is still slow and/or confusing? Fear not for this guide will show you how to create a kingdom in one character!

Chapter 0: Before We Start

Before we start let’s clear something out that can be confusing for new players:

To change a specific characters religion, you first type this without quotation marks 'charinfo 1' Afterward, when you hover over the intended character their unique ID will pop up, to change their religion type without quotes 'religion Unique ID norsepagan' so, say you want to change to catholic and the user ID is 576899, enter this: religion 576899 catholic. Religion 295 norsepaganreformed. The religion ID for Norse is norsepaganreformed - this command would make the religion of character with ID 295 Norse. Religion totemism. The Totemist religion has the religion ID 'totemism'. As no character ID is specified here, this command would change the religion of your own character to Totemism. I've yet to play this because my PC isn't sufficient enough to run it (and I don't have CK2 but that isn't as expensive) and I'm curious what does each religion feature? Curious particularly about R'hollor but would like to know more about the other's like Old Gods, Faith of the Seven, Valyrian, etc. Crusader Kings II PC. Linux Macintosh.

Cassus Beli is a reason for war. Without it you can’t fight. You can wage war against someone who has lands you or one of your courtiers have claim on and few other reasons, but for the sake of this guide we will need just Claim and De jure.

De jure means “by law”. Every duchy consists of counties, every kingdom is made of duchies and so on. If you have duchy title, but not all of it’s de jure lands belong in your realm, you can wage war against outside holders. Winning De jure war always results in realm coming to your realm (but if you are the king it’s not always for you, I will describe it later).

Claim is “legal” right for the land. Legal is in quotation marks since they can be fabricated (important!). Pressing a claim means wage a war in a name of person having the claim agains person holding the title. Winning the war not always result in land coming to your realm! If you are not claimant there are two conditions that must be met to get a land through Claim war:

  • Claimant must already have land in your land (barony will suffice).
  • The title you are pressing claim on must be lower than yours.

For example, if ou are a duke and you press claim on a duchy for someone else, that person will be independant. But if you are king and press a claim on duchy for your vassal duke, then duke will have two duchies and you still are his liege.

That should be enough to get you starting.

Chapter 1: Starting Up

Step 1: Choosing your character.

For begginers, Ireland with a starting date of 1066 is a good choice for couple of reasons. Most rulers are count-tier which means they have up to 3 counties which is low. That gives you early advantage since you can easly gain more lands and be the most powerful person in the land.

Easiest characters are:

  • Murchad ua Brian, duke of Munster – he is a duke with a single county, two vassals, a De jure claim on a nerby county, male heir and, what’s most important, a historical bloodline. That bloodline can be passed to his descendants which give ua Brians an advantage over other Irish rulers.
  • Aed ua Conchobair, duke of Connacht – an old guy with realm of two is weaker than Murchad, but still relevant since he is duke, but he lacks the bloodline and lands. His advantage lies in his position. West Connacht has a double battle modifer giving your troops advantage and giving enemies disadvantage at the same time (attacking from here gives our troops disadvantage though).
  • Murchad ua Cheinnselaig, count of Dublin – his start is a little bit trickier than the last two since he is a count and has no de jure claims. But he has two things other counts hasn’t at that is county of Dublin which is both duchy and kingdom de jure capital (it gives nice modifier to troops) and is an heir for county of Leinster, which makes him triple count. His dad has to die first though, by natural means, or your scheming. He is old, so you can just wait up.

For the sake of simplicity, the rest of the guide will be made as if ua Brian was chosen to play.

Step 2: Council. First thing you do is checking your council.

  • Set your chancellor to Fabricate claim job on whatever county near you, but in case of Desmond it’s not needed(you already have De jure claim on it so it ‘s not neccesary, but if you fabricate claim you prevent a civil war, more on it later).
  • Set your marshal to train troops in your capital
  • Set your steward to collect taxes in your capital
  • Set your spymaster to Study technology in another country (if you are ua Cheinnselaig and are plotting to kill your father set him to Build Spy network in Leincester)
  • Set your chaplain to improve religous relation with any of your bishops.

If any of your council members has their stats below 15 here is a quick way to change it:

Go to Find character.

Set join court on yes and search all (remember that only men can be in council, exception is rulers wife who can be spymaster).

Filter them by what ability you need and invite those with best. Profit!

Having done that let’s go to the next step, which is…

Step 3: Stabilizing your realm using a civil war.

Yes you read that right. You are going to cause a civil war to get the counties your vassals have. We are doing it because if you control the county, you get all the troops, if it’s your vassal, it’s 40% at best. How do you do that though? There are 2 ways: the way of tyrant and the way of intrigue.
The way of tyrant is simpler one, but crippling your opinion. Just revoke the titles one by one and crush them. Be careful though, this impose tyranny (-40 opinion, ouch).
The way of intrigue takes longer but doesn’t impose tyranny:

  • Go to intrigue (F7).
  • In My Plots you have a table, click on the blue “Choose a plot”.
  • Choose “Revoke county of …”

To succeed you need 80% plot power and at least 1 backer (that’s why your chaplain works on improving relations). If you meet the requirements, there is decision to revoke the county. By revoking them in this way vassals usualy rebel, which means you have to apply good old way of crushing them to bits. You should have more troops from your one county and vassal so it’s no worry.

When you hold all counties in your realm you can get to next chapter.

Chapter 2: Conquest and Creating the Kingdom

So you have your realm stabilized. Good. Next step after winning the civil wars is more wars.

Step 0: Press your de jure claim on any counties that are outside of your realm and proceed to do with them what you did in chapter 2. If you are over your demense limit, raise the centralization law

Step 1: Fabricate Claim.
This is the reason most people don’t play as Ireland when they learn to play. Other countries can gain lands by pressing other claims, but Irish usually have to do without it at the beginning, which is bit tedious.
If you managed to fabricate the claim, just press it and win war and proceed to next step.

Step 2: Foregin Climants.
If you didn’t or you don’t want to wait for Fabricate to work then find a county you want to conquer. Click on it’s shiled and it will take you to the realm page. There is a button named “Claimants”. If it’s grey then though luck, try elswehere. If it’s blue, then let’s get to party. Clicking the button shows you the list containing all people with claims to that realm. If beside their portrait is green thumb up, then you hit a jackpot and can invite him to court. You can now press his claim in war, BUT DON’T DO THAT YET! If he doesn’t have land in your realm, he will just become new independent ruler, so first you have to give him something (even a barony will suffice). Then press the claim and win the war. If you are short on counties to give (leave at least as much as your most powerful vassal have to yourself), then just chapter 2 someone. Repeat this step until you have 10 counties in your realm, and then…

Step 3: Long live the king!
You can create a kingdom now, but don’t be so hasty, there is one last thing to do before making kingdom! Your deflaut succesion law is Gavelkind which means all your sons get some of your lands when you die. You want to change that to ethier Tanistry or Primogeniture.

When I wrote Tanistry, I felt the fanbase howl in hatred at me, but please just listen.
Both succesion laws make it so all your ladns go to your heir after your death. Difference is that in Primogeniture your heir is always your eldest child (usually son) and in Tanistry your heir is Tanist.
Tanist is chosen by you and your vassals from your dynasty (they tend to favor the elders). So you ask why the hell would I want that. Answer is simple: usually you don’t, but there are two exceptions:

  • If your realm is full of counts of your dynasty, it enables you to gather all your familys land back togheter (not quite, since vassals usually favor landless heirs, but it’s possible).
  • Primogeniture gives all your not-eldest child -10 opinion on you, which means nothing, unless they are also your vassals.

For the rest of the land, ethier conquer them with de jure claim or offer them vassalization. Many accept if you haven’t waged war on them.

Chapter 3: What Next?

When you become the king, you should already have a knack on this game, so ethier go play someone else, or become emperor of Britannia.

To become emperor, just do what you did earlier on dukes instead of counts. Best order of conquering the British isles is Wales, Scotland and England. Wales are just a bunch of dukes, like Ireland was before you happend, but it has less land than Ireland, so it’s not a best start. Scotland is already a kingdom, and it can kick your ♥♥♥ quick if you don’t watch it, but getting it piece by piece is quite easy. England is trickier due to it’s size, but doable if you have Wales or Scotland under your thumb.

For Crusader Kings III players, this is a guide oftips and tricks about how can you from a viking turn into an Emperor of France, let’s check it out.

Early Game

Start as Haesteinn of Haestening Dynasty. You will start with just one county, Montaigu, at Western France. But dont worry, it seems that Count Haesteinn brought 3000 of his viking followers with him and a large quantity of gold. You will also have alot of Prestige to begin with. So use these to your advantage.

Before unpausing, choose a Martial Lifestyle, focusing on Strategy. Also, you dont need to spend gold on Men-at-arms, because having 3000 soldiers early on, your forces is far superior than other counties except of course the king of france (so better stay away from him).

The First Invasion

At the start you are surrounded by several kingdoms including the Kingdom of Brittany and the Kingdom of France. If you make the mistake of attacking them, then you’ll die and end early.

Apparently, the King of France is an ally of the King of Brittany, so attacking either of them will bring forth the wrath of their ally and could wipe you out.

So instead of attacking these kingdoms, why not focus on the County of Leon at the Edge of Western France. The Baron here only have a couple of hundred troops which is far inferior than your viking horde. It should be a piece of cake.

Don’t think of a valid casus belli, since you are the viking invaders, basically you can invade every county in france.

Where to next?

So the next question is, since the Kingdom of France and Brittany will bring forth destruction to you, where will you invade next?

The answer is Ireland. Since Ireland is basically composed of several chiefdoms during these time, you wound expect big forces to counter you. Basically desmond and Thomond will go down without a fight. Connacht will also be easy to take (but i didn’t). Ormond and Ossory will be allied with the High Chiefdom of Meath so you can stay away from them.

The objective is to perform a blitz in these counties, with minimal losses. The problem I encountered after is that these are of different holding types. The solution is simple, I gave the titles to my son.

But if Ireland is to far, and you want to focus on france, you can skip these part.

Becoming a Vassal of France

The dilemma is should you stay as a viking horde or should you kiss the King of France and become his vassal. I chose the latter.

I chose the King of France as my DIRECT liege, instead of some duke of France. Why? because you will never become a duke if you are under someone else’s duchy. If you didn’t attack leon and Ireland early on, and chose to become a vassal of france immediately, you will be under the duke of Aquataine and become is baron. The trick for this not happening is to have other holdings and transferring your capital there for the awhile.

Religion

Having your capital transfered to leon or to desmond will mean that you will become a Direct Vassal of the King of France. In other words, he is your ONLY boss. Because the crown authority is low at that time, you can still attack other duchy, as long as you have a valid casus belli.

Also dont forget to change religion to Catholicism. This will allow you to invite Catholics to court (since you are in France and Catholicism is the main religion). Gedit for mac.

Invasion of the Kingdom of Brittany

This is the time to attack the Kingdom of Brittany.

Since you are a vassal of the Kingdom of France, then your liege wont object in attacking the Kingdom of Brittany, even if the latter is an ally of the former. Brittany won’t have much of a resistance. They would only have around 700-800 Levies at that time.

Congrats, now you will have the Duchy of Brittany and now you are a Duke.

Use your Family

The next step is not using your military prowess to take over france, rather, by carefully inserting your bloodlines into other houses.

The following tips and tricks are useful.

1. use your daughter to marry someone with claims, using matrilineal marriage. This means, all children will be under your house. Furthermore, the husband will relocate to your court, hence you can use his claim to expand.

2. Use you daughter or sister to marry the prince of France. Not necessarily the heir of the kingdom of France, but rather the other sons or grandson of the King of France. This will ensure that one of your nephew will have a claim on the throne. With a little luck and sway (scheme), their opinion of you may be high enough that you can use matrilineal marriage, and your nephew will be part of your dynasty.

3. Use your sons to marry the daughter of some nearby kings or duke, with a big army. Marrying off will automatically grant you an alliance (by blood), hence look for those kingdoms with an icon of “potential alliance” in the marriage window.

In my scenario, my sister Vigdis married Prince Carloman of West Francia. Because Prince Louis (the other Prince of France) is disfigured, he can’t marry and wound have children, hence Prince Carloman is the potential heir of France.

Use Schemes / Intrigue

This will take careful planning.

Since my sister, Vigdis, married Prince Carloman of France, using Martrilineal marriage (how i did this i have no idea. I may have had a hook or their opinion was high enough or he wasn’t the primary heir, so the king of france agreed to this). I waited for them to have a son. You can offer guardianship to him after if you want so that he will transfer to your court. Btw, your nephew will be under your dynasty. His name in my scenario was Angelbert Heistening.

So the Line of Succession for the Kingdom of France will be Prince Louis (Primary heir), then my nephew Angelbert (I dont know why Prince Carloman wasn’t the next in line).

This is the tricky party.

You want to to kill them all so your nephew will become the Heir of the Throne.

Luckily, for my part, Prince Louis died in a battle of Feb 881, he was 18.

Next, I planned the murder of the King Louis II of France. You need a very good spymaster to support this scheme. Furthermore, you need allies and good opinion from other vassals.

Finally after several months, King Louis II died under suspicious circumstance (by me of course!)

My nephew, Angelbert Heistening is the new King of France!!!

Take the Throne of France

Now, my nephew Angelbert is the new king.

Patience is the key to take over the throne. I waited for him to be engaged in several wars against neighboring kingdoms. Furthermore, by this time, I have allied with neighboring kingdoms. Remember, even if you are allied with several vassals, they wont help you with your fight against the throne hence find allies outside France.

When I saw 6000 troops from the Kingdom of France were engaged in a fight against other kingdoms, and somehow got depleted, I use the best casus belli to take over France.

I am the head of the Haestening Dynasty hence as the head I have claim to the throne. I acted fast, attack Paris head on, and captured several valuable family members including Prince Carloman of West Francia. I eventually won the battle.

How

I am now the King of West Francia.

Consolidate France

France was divided between the Kingdom of West Francia and the Kindome of Aquitane.

My nephew Angelbert become the King of Aquitane. You have 2 options, wait until the truce ends before taking over the Kingdom of Aquitane or break the truce and became a tyrrant.

I chose the latter. After 2 years of waiting for me to form allies and reinsforcement, I broke the truce and attack the Kingdom of Aquitane. My nephew lost and was killed of course, and I consolidated power in france.

I am now Finally the King of West Francia, Brittany and Aquitane.

Keep Vassals Happy

How

Since I became a tyrrant, my vassals’ opinion weren’t good. Here are a few tricks how i controlled them.

1. Sway (scheme) them to improve opinion.
2. Offer council positions (this improves alot)
3. Focus your chancellor to domestic affairs as this improves vassal opinion by +10
4. Switch lifestyle focus to stewardship and administrator. Get the branch with likable and positions of power.
5. Ask them to change religion to Catholicism. If they refuse, throw them in prison. They can’t revolt there.
6. Revoke titles (if they will allow you).
7. Invade / plot to kill them.

Create the Empire of Francia

Since you now hold 3 dejure Kingdoms (Brittany, Aquitane and West Francia), while King Lothaire III holds the Kingdom of Burgundy, you can create the Empire of West Francia.

What you need is 800 gold. Just wait, and don’t spend on unnecessary things.

Ck2 Religion Ids

Alas, you are now the Emperor of Francia.

Expand and Enjoy the Game

Being the Emperor, there is nothing left to do but expand.

Luckily, one of my Vassals, Duke Karel III has claims on the Kingdom of Italy. With the use of 1500 prestige, I invaded the Kingdom of Italy. With the help of my allies from the Kingdom of Lothargia and Kingdom of Bavaria, I conqured Italy with ease.

Duke Karel III become the King of Italy, and still my vassal (Wow!!!).
