Now, that doesn't mean the Petty King of Ulster in this example needs to have all three Eearldoms directly. Anything above that will give you -15 opinion penalty per additional duchy title. But if you're king/emperor, you can only hold two duchy titles yourself. Unless you have the relevant duchy title yourself. If you skip a tier in the hierarchy of titles, you will get a 0.75 modifier to the levies and money you get from your de jure counts. Is it worth trying consolidate county titles under the duchy title holder? IE: Is it worth it to consolidate the titles Earl of Ulster, Oriel and Ailech under the Petty King of Ulster, so that 1 person holds all 4 titles for the county.As already talked about in the first paragraph, yes. Yet the second son is shown to get every single county in that duchy. Secondary heirs are not supposed to get the capital territory (especially if they are already given territory prior to your death), which in your case I assume is in Uppland. Though I'd lean towards the UI being wrong in this case. Assuming the UI shows correct information in this case and your primary heir won't get any of your counties, he will be granted a random country within his realm upon your death. But I have no experience with elective election, so I can't help you with that. I noticed a bug in regards to succession being wonky due to titles having their own succession laws, but that's when all had confederate succession with male preference (yes, some still counted as having different succession due to very idiotic reasons). And yes those titles are on the elective system.I see. Yeah, from what I've understood and read it should but the game is seemingly giving contradictory information on this screen. Is it worth trying consolidate county titles under the duchy title holder? IE: Is it worth it to consolidate the titles Earl of Ulster, Oriel and Ailech under the Petty King of Ulster, so that 1 person holds all 4 titles for the county. Is it worth investing money in buildings in your counties? Other then forming alliances does it matter who you pick to have your children marry?

What is the benefit of forming a Duchy vs having each county being independent? Had a blast, gonna try and do better next time.Ī few questions for anyone who is more knowledgeable. The primary heir was hated by everyone for being a Gluttonus, Sadistic, Murdering, Kin Slayer. His two kingdoms were then split up between his two sons. I had just started work on taking over England (Danelaw) when my current king died. His son and grandson then managed to conquer Scotland (named Alba in my game). I started playing as Murchad and managed to unite all of Ireland as a Kingdom. I just ended my first game, well first game that I played past the first generation. I tried like 4-5 times with CK2 and was just completely overwhelmed. I'm loving CK3 so far, much easier to get into then CK2.
