Access to Estate map

Hi,
How can I access the Estate map? Playing as the count of Hainault. I have the Roads to Power DLC.

My understanding is that only administrative rulers have access to estates.

"Every head of a Noble Family gains an Estate."

"Every Duke, King and Emperor with Administrative government will be part of a noble family."

I'm sure modders will make it so any type of ruler will be able to have an estate, but in an unmodded game, it's only for administrative rulers.

I've started a new game as the Duke of Brabant. Still no access to an Estate. I'm the head of the family

I don’t have access to the game but looking online Brabant is in Lotharingia so it’s not part of an administrative government and thus no estate. With default rules and vanilla game (no mods), the only place you can have an estate at game start is within the Byzantine Empire.

Like VBigB mentioned, there are game rules that will affect which titles start as administrative.

The only European titles that are eligible for this rule are the Carolingian kingdoms in 867, e.g., West Francia, Lotharingia, East Francia, and Italy. It also looks like you can make it so player kingdoms are administrative. I haven't tried that out, but it should be what you want, I hope.
