That said, adopt this position with caution while this approach means gaining a casus belli on everyone, it also means everyone gets a casus belli on you! Which means that unless you are the largest fish in the pond, things are likely to get very ugly fast, and even the almighty Holy Roman Empire is vulnerable to dogpiles. So while the drawbacks of heresy are severe opinion with all non-heretics, and increased rebel riskthe advantages when it comes to expansion are huge. You'll now have CBs upon everyone except other realms following the same heresy. Then upon the first chance you get, you should change to whatever heresy arises. The lower the moral authority of the church, the more likely heresy is to spread. The easiest way to get heresy to appear so that you can convert is appointing an antipope, as this lowers the moral authority of the church. You can get religious war CBs on essentially the entire world if you convert to a Christian heresy. If you are Catholicyou can attack Pagans, like the Balts and Finns. Fifth, you can attack someone of a different religion to claim a Duchy.

They're good for gaining some prestige, though. Fourth, excommunication CBs are easy to get as long as the pope likes you, but these won't help you grow your realm. Third, dispute succession CBs can, like general claims, be gained by inviting someone with that CB to your realm. In addition, after pushing a claim for a duchy, you'll often have de jure claims. If you can create a duchy that overlaps another realm's territory, this will gain you a de jure claim, and the same applies if you usurp it. Second, de jure ducal claims are also relatively easy to gain. Posts: 6.While some of these CBs you'll have merely due to your position, like the independence CB and the law change CBs, many of these can be gained on purpose. The Roman Empire is almost reformed! And I did in fact get the fabricate claim about 10 years after I posted this. I actually ended up doing just that, got someone who had a claim on Tuscany, then one on Ferrara and another on Verona, and by that time I had enough land that I could usurp the kingdom of Italy and do de jure claims on the rest. Then, through assassinations, I ensure the land will belong to me once. I marry my relatives to other people who have claims on some lands and start the war that way. For some land you have no choice but to fabricate claim for such as venice and the Uk since they are not next to you land wise. Not only will you gain the desired territory but you'll have a new vassal with high opinion of you and maybe some claims on even more land. As an Emperor you have the ability to press Count, Duke, and King claims and vassalize the resulting ruler, so find someone with a claim on the County of Ferrara, Duchy of Ferrara, or Kingdom of Italy, land them, and press the claim against whoever currently holds the title in question. It costs money a lot since it's a multiplier of your monthly income and prestige and there are other in my opinion better uses for a Chancellor. That said, Fabricating Claims is in my opinion the worst way to gain new territory. Of course it's all random so there's no way to prove correlation. It took me 40 something years to get a claim in ireland, the entire time i had the max claim rate of Though this shouldn't matter in theory, I have found that occassionally recalling your councilors and reassigning them - even to the same job and location - seems to trigger success or failure shortly thereafter.

One time I have a ruler at 25 years old healthy inherit the lands then 1 day later die from natural causes. Have I just experienced the worst luck known to man kind or am I missing something?Д®DIT: I think it's also worth noting that in those 75 years of constant claim fabrication my chancellor was never once detected either. So I've been sitting on my Byzantine Empire game trying to fabricate a claim on some territories in Ferrara Going to rebuild the Roman empire but I've not gotten a single claim in the 75 years now that I've been trying.
