It’s often worth using your Chancellor for this, but not as your exclusive method of expansion. The chances of success are based on your Chancellor’s diplomacy stat, and with a high enough stat he can even create a claim on a whole duchy if the target holds one.Īlthough this is powerful when it works, the low chance of success and the fact that it’s entirely up to chance makes this a very unreliable method of expanding. Simply tell your Chancellor to sit in a neighbouring province and he’ll have a percentage chance over time to generate you a claim. In my original guide, How to Get Married and Go to War I briefly touched on the ability to fabricate claims on your neighbours. Understanding the theory and practice behind earning a CB will ensure that you never have to be at peace for long.

Far too many for me to go through them and explain what they all do.
Although it might not seem like it when you start as a Catholic ruler, there are a lot of Casus Bellis (CBs) in Crusader Kings 2.
