visiting far off locations

[Jet]

im near the sahara but want to visit britain for the military bonuses. I dont have any activities that take me there and adding detours dont let me pick beyond iberia. Is there no way to go to specific places?

[ShepherdOfCats]

I've never tried going that far out of the way but I did make some long detours on some pilgrimages. I think it may be based on distance to your realm? So can you grab a county in iberia and then skip up to Britain?

It's almost certainly limited to your diplomatic range, so county hopping is probably the answer.

ETA - If possible I'd avoid Iberia proper if you have FP2 because being an Outsider in the Struggle is going to waste enormous amounts of your time for very little benefit, but you can probably grab the Canary Islands and then hop to France instead.

i have my capital in africa but i have part of my domain in iberia and its still not enough. I cant click further than the destination apparently. I guess Id need an actual county thats somehow above my target destination then? Or maybe if i become vassal to the king of england/ireland one of my activities would let me?

Im uninvolved atm, am i getting penalized for it? I dont have the involvement status under diplomatic screen like you get when you are involved/interloper so i assumed i was fine.

You don't need to be above it, just close enough, it's likely that if you have only hold a county in lower Iberia it's just not close enough to England.

Becoming a vassal probably won't help because it's unlikely that you'd get invited to any activity that gave you long enough to get there unfortunately (the only thing that's like to work is if you're a Strong vassal and the primary guest or if the King decides to hold a Grand Wedding for the other spouse being in Greece or similar )

You don't get directly penalized, and if you're planning to take over later it's fine. It's just that if you don't care about Iberia, the mechanics make it really easy for Involved parties to annoy the hell out of you constantly and you can't do much about it as an Outsider other than conquer the whole thing.

Eh, I know you can travel outside your diplomatic reach. Its definitely allowed for pilgrimages, as I have gone on ones from Ireland to Jerusalem. I have never tried to add detours that are father away from the destination though, so maybe that doesn't work.

yeah i guess id need to change to a religion that has access to british holy sites...which is not something id want to do given my tradition.

I dont think canterbury would get me close enough to the wales POIs though...much less hadrians wall

[SDxEair]

Insularism and Asatru have holy sites close to Hadrin's wall. Definitely both past Wales.

Maybe it's a set 'corridor' between your capital and the destination that you can detour?

yeah has to be on the way to the destination

I think it has to do with time. When I was Rome I was able to go to Iberia then on to all sites in England then on my way back was able to go to the sites in France and few other but when I try to add more It kept telling me I was over year travel time

[kalanyr]

I've definitely been able to travel further than my initial goal too (albeit because I was purely on land the additional destination in that count was "closer" if you did a different half-circuit ).
