Description:

This mod allows you to target a Dynasty Member or House Feud Rival for a title they hold without having to fight their liege

✔ Achievement Compatible
✔ Ironman Compatible

Requirements to start a war with a Dynasty Member

• Must be a landless adventurer
• Must have the required Gold and Prestige
• Works for players and AI

How the war works

• The war is directly against the Dynasty Member, not their liege. So you don’t have to fight a war against the HRE or the Iron Throne to take a county from your cousin anymore
• If you win, you get the title, any de jure titles below it, any any de jure vassals of the title
• You swear fealty to your Dynasty Member’s old liege
  
  • The reason the liege doesn’t get involved is because the same Dynasty will still be their vassal
  • To them, the same house still rules the house in their stead, so they leave the conflict to the family itself
• If the Dynasty Member has multiple titles, like a Duchy and three counties
  
  • You choose which county title you want to take
  • Or, you can claim the entire Duchy and all counties within it if you want
  • If you win the war, you get the title you target and any de jure titles and vassals belonging to it

Requirements to start a war with a member of a Rival House

• Must be a landless adventurer
• Your House must be in a feud with another house and that house must have landed members
• Must have the required Gold and Prestige
• Works for players and AI

How the war works

• The war is directly against the Member of the Rival House, not their liege.
• If you win, you get the title, any de jure titles below it, any any de jure vassals of the title
• You swear fealty to the House Rival member’s old liege
  
  • The reason the liege doesn’t get involved is because House Rivalries are petty squabbles that higher Lords don’t want to get involved in
  • Since you aren’t sworn to a liege, the premise is that you’ve notified the Liege of your intentions and have sworn fealty in advance. From the Liege’s point of view, he loses nothing by letting the conflict play out.
• If the member of the Rival House has multiple titles, like a Duchy and three counties
  
  • You choose which county title you want to take
  • Or, you can claim the entire Duchy and all counties within it if you want
  • If you win the war, you get the title you target and any de jure titles and vassals belonging to it

• This mod does not edit any base game files
• This mod should work with all Total Conversions
• This mod should work with More Interactive Vassals

• Q: Why is this only for adventurers?
• A: Bypassing the liege only works because you are not breaking the bonds of fealty. It doesn’t make sense for a liege to stand by and let some lesser lord attack their vassals and take land away from the liege’s realm. From a feudalist perspective, it only makes sense to bypass the liege as the war target if you’ve already sworn allegiance ahead of time. This clearly is not applicable if you’re already a landed lord.
