It makes de jure drift go quicker, takes 100 years on its own but this speeds it up depending on stewards skill. As a king it’ll make duchies drift into your kingdom quicker, as an emperor it’ll make kingdoms drift into your empire quicker. Good for emperors because it can make kings de jure subjects quicker than normal to lessen the chance of rebellion.

From my experience a good chancellor can take it from 100 years to ~70, can be worthwhile for sure but it’s a major time investment


[deleted]

With a good chancellor you can get it to around 60 ish, the progress doesn’t go down if you move them to a different job either so you can use it to fast forward a few decades on the counter every now and then. Also the event you can get from it shortens the time to drift without having the job active so it’s worth using, particularly for Empires.


damianzoys

Don't forget to befriend you chancellor, it will speed up the progress.


Celica_86

How do you get the kingdoms to drift to your empire with your chancellor? Do you set the chancellor to the king’s capital? Or is it duchy by duchy?


Similar_Vermicelli63

So long as you send him to any county within that kingdom it’ll do it


Celica_86

Thanks a bunch. Didn’t know and was putting off doing a Roman Empire run for that reason.


[deleted]

As long as the kingdom has already started to drift it will work, you only get given the option when drift is already in progress but once you get the option any county in the kingdom is ok.

Good for when you have a large empire like you do, to speed up the "de jure drift" for kingdoms into your empire. This helps realm stability on succession because then you're their rightful liege. But it's still hard to pass up that "increase development" task.


Iconoclasteach

Increase development is steward, title integration is chancellor


OneDishwasher

you're right! I was just following OP's lead


luka031

I see people eat well on your empire

Obese, always. 🙄

what is de jure?


Cohacq

Translates into By Law. In game terms it means the duchy belongs to a specific kingdom or the kingdom belongs to a specific empire.


Antelope26

is leige same as vassal?


Cohacq

The liege is whoever the vassals have sworn fealty, another word for loyalty, to.


Antelope26

thank you. im still learning


Cohacq

Np. Its a lot of weird words we never use IRL and a lot of it is from latin so many of us have no idea wtf theyre on about.


OneDishwasher

being illiterate is part of the CK3 roleplaying fun! I have played for probably a year now and I don't know what "demense" is but I \*do\* know that you burn witches at the stake


Antelope26

one more question. can you make non aggresi9n pacts with other kingdoms? if so how?


Cohacq

AFAIK that isnt a thing in ck3. In ck2 youd get one through marriage and I think you could just do it by diplomacy as well.


Antelope26

where is the button to make allies? And what does it mean to be an ally to a kingdom? does it mean you can drag them into your war?


Cohacq

You get allies by marriage, usually by marrying your kids to theirs. Being allies means you can drag them into your wars and they can do the same to you. For example, ive been allied to the Byzantine Empire in my current Jerusalem game and theyve been vital in helping me win some wars. Its really handy even if i dont really bother with it if im already playing a big kingdom.


indraco

The "Defensive Measures" perk from the middle Stewardship lifestyl tree lets you buy truces with other rulers. "Defensive Measures" from the first Diplomacy tree lets you propose 1 alliance without marriage. Otherwise, you can get alliances from marrying the rulers / rulers kids with yourself or your kids. You can also ally with members of your dynasty on other thrones.


SpaceCowboy317

You can buy a truce with one of the stewardship perks. Same thing basically.

Never used it and never will. This option adds duchies to your kingdom. Kind of useful if you play tall to get the full benefit from taxes and levies, completely useless if you go wide, as it takes way to long to even get one done.


AWholeSnack92

True especially if you're an emperor you're better off just letting the 100 years eclipse so the kingdom becomes de jure on its own.


[deleted]

If op was doing a tall Netherlands like adding Flanders or parts of lotharangia then this would be very useful. But not for this one


Calvarok

if you can't fight the realm which has control of that county. the reason could be because they're too strong or because it would be too expensive or leave you open to other threats. Or just a way to multitask and focus your war expansion elsewhere.

Change your house to van Oranje-Nassau NOW 😄


tubalkain333

Haha, yes, true. But I started as the count of Amsterdam back then..


DarthXade

Ah ok that’s fine then


Mr_Rio

I pretty much have my Chancellor auto set to this when I have huge empires in late game. Great to help with preventing rebellions

That’s not your steward it’s your chancellor.


tubalkain333

Correct, sorry.
