How to appoint new council members

[Papa Sage's Elaborate Shlong]

So, ive been playing this for a while, and after some of my council members leave, I usually have to appoint one that has a lower skill than the previous. I invite higher ones to my court, but they cant be appointed. Do they need land so they become a vassal? Or what

when you invite them it takes time to travel to your court... have they actually arrived yet? that seems the most likely of reasons, because if they are there in your court, you should beable to appoint them if the qualify for the post.

They come to my court but they aren't appointable for some reason.

hmmm sounds like a glitch, save the game exit to windows ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and reload, if its a glitch, that should fix it.

Whom actually are you trying to appoint? Note that not every religion allows appointing women at council positions (except for spymaster in most cases). Also, in some religions only certain courtiers can be court chaplains.

hmmm, just had another thought, when you invite them in the intrigue menu are you assuming that apoints them?, if so you need to goto the council menu and do it there.

No I figured it out, but for the intrigue menu, when I invite them they go to my court. Can I get marshals, stewards, etc this way? Im using the invite holy man/noble option

I have the option to invite stewards ect. on mine, but i'm running all the dlc, so i don't know if the fact i can is stock or part of a dlc. so to answer you i'd need to kow what if any dlc you have running.

You have separate invititations due to a mod, not a dlc. CK2+ I reckon.

Once you press those invitations they appear in your court and you are free to appoint them wherever you want. The difference between invite noble and holy man is the kind of education the new courtier will have (holy men always have theology education) as well as the cost of decision (cash vs piety). So if you are looking for good stewards or marshals, I'd rather hit invite noble, or better yet, seek people that will come to your court for free, such as claimants to titles.

I just checked, it was enabled in the mod section (i thought I had unchecked it (ck2+) before I answered) thanks for the correct info.
