Crusader Kings II

[Double A]

There is no way to do it in-game, you'll have to mod it. For that... I don't really have a lot of experience. With any luck, Monk will drop by soon to the rescue.

There is one thing you can do if you have more than one kingdom - you can change your primary title by clicking on the kingdom title you want to change it to. This will change both the color and the name of your country to the selected kingdom. You can't customize the color in-game, though.



I haven't experienced the whole "smart people dying young" thing.

But there is a reason for your princesses and courtiers dying without kids. Members of your court who do not own land have a two-children limit (this includes unlanded children) and reduced fertility. Additionally, if your court has more than 30 members, nobody can have children. Best strategy for this is to marry off all your unwanted courtiers to foreign courts, and release/ransom any prisoners you don't need to hold on to.

I find it's trickier for your heir. If you give him a piece of land, you lose all control over what he does with his kids, so you better hope your king dies soon. If you keep him in the court, you can control him but he only has two kids max, and if your king lives a long time than chances are that's all he'll ever get. But killing off your king usually just gets you rebellious vassals. So it's a tricky situation that I haven't really found a good solution for yet.

Oh, I was over 30 for awhile. That should have been something in the tutorial.

Oh, and the Knights Hospitaller just had their chancellor forge a claim on the county I gave them a barony in. Really, Paradox?
