The duration required for assimilation is decreased by the Chancellor task 'Integrate Title'.

In general, a duchy will assimilate into a kingdom after being controlled by that kingdom for 100 years, and a kingdom will similarly assimilate into an empire in the same time frame. If a character is a Vassal, they cannot Usurp a title belonging to the Liege, nor can they Usurp one that has the same Rank or higher than the Liege's Primary title.Дe jure drift or assimilation is the process by which the de jure borders of kingdoms and empires can change over time. If the holder's Faith is considered Hostile or Evil, then they must not hold any De Jure counties of the title to be able to be Usurped. If a character is holding more than 50% of the De Jure Counties of a title held by a Ruler of the same Faith or a Faith which is not considered Hostile or Evil, then the character can Usurp the title. In the Region of Europe, AI characters will only create Kingdom titles if they have certain cultures. The process can be speed up by using the Chancellor task Integrate title.ДЄny ducal or kingdom title can be created by a character who controls at least 51% of its De Jure Counties as long as they hold either two titles of lower Rank or one title of equal or higher Rank empire titles require at least 81% of their De Jure Counties. If a ruler completely controls a Duchy and owns a Kingdom title other than the one the Duchy De Jure belongs to, or if a ruler completely controls a Kingdom and owns an Empire title other than the one the Kingdom De Jure belongs to, then the said Duchy or Kingdom will slowly become De Jure part of the character's Primary title. Furthermore, count rank vassals give 25% less Taxes and Levies alongside -5 Opinion of Liege if their liege does not hold the de jure duchy of their primary title, but does hold its de jure kingdom or empire. If a vassal's primary title does not fall under the de jure territory of any titles their liege holds, that vassal gives 50% less Taxes and Levies alongside -5 Opinion of Liege.

A character who owns a title can choose the De Jure Casus belli to seize a single De Jure title covered by it, provided that the character's culture has the appropriate innovation below: The Duchy, Kingdom and Empire map modes will show all De Jure titles. If a character owns multiple titles of the same highest rank, they can freely choose which one is the Primary title.Дe Jure, meaning 'by law', means that a title historically covered certain lower Rank titles. The Primary title is the highest title of a character and determines the Realm's Color and coat of arms. The lowest 'playable' title is Count Barons can never become independent (their Liege is the holder of the county title which their baronies are de jure part of) or playable.ДЄll opinion modifiers from granting titles last 50 years and can stack. Title Rank also determines what bonuses it grants to players who hold that title. A ruler can only have vassals of lower rank and can only be a vassal of someone of higher rank. Rank primarily governs who holders of that title can vassalize or become vassals of. If you want to be anything other thana figurehead you need to address that while not getting yourself thrown out by one of the dozen or so factions that will pop up from the start.Each title has a Rank, which determines its place in the feudal pecking order. There are at least a half dozen dukes that are more powerful than you individually. Since all of them are eligible they like to vote for themselves or their best buddy instead of your candidate, and so on.ДЄdditionally hindering you is having a pretty weak personal demesne making you very dependent on your vassals for everything. Generally speaking ai voters don't vote for children when there are eligible adults, ditto for females when males are available. You can nominate whoever you want, the issue is getting enough of the 20+ dukes to vote for your candidate. Realistically your options are live 10 years or longer and pray you can somehow get every count in the empire to like you a little bit or lose the title в™Ґв™Ґв™Ґв™Ґ i just had a daughter, can I not nominate her?
