名誉头衔

名誉头衔是一种没有法理上附属领地的头衔。游戏使用名誉头衔来代表那些在身份地位上高于伯爵，但是并没有统治与地位相应的法理领地的角色。例如，在867年，大部分斯拉夫和波罗的海的原始宗教部落是名誉公国，而大摩拉维亚是一个名誉王国。

名誉王国和名誉帝国分别可以同化法理公国或王国进入其领域，并且在同化法理领地的同时，会不再作为一个名誉头衔。类似的，法理王国可能会因为法理变动而失去其所有法理公国，变成一个名誉王国。例如，在867年，阿斯图里亚斯王国和莱昂王国分别拥有一个法理公国，但到了1066年，莱昂同化了阿斯图里亚斯公国，而阿斯图里亚斯王国便变成了一个名誉头衔。

Generally, to create a titular kingdom or empire, you must control its de jure capital (since there is no de jure territory to control 51% or 80% of). You can determine the capital by searching for the title and hovering the "Create" button, or by checking the list of kingdoms or empires.

Certain titular kingdoms (and one titular empire, the Latin Empire) may be formed by a character who holds the required territories and/or meets certain, often religious, requirements. Other titular kingdoms exist in historical starts but cannot be created during the game.

Creating a titular title can be one way of advancing one's title tier, in order to unlock mechanics and allow higher-tier vassals. However, as titular titles have no de jure vassals, the amount of levies provided by vassals will be limited.

Related concepts

Tribal titles are similar to titular titles. The two differences are that they cannot assimilate any de jure titles, and they are destroyed when another title of the same rank is gained. Until the introduction of tribal government in patch 2.2, many Slavic, Finnish, and Baltic characters started out with duchy-tier tribal titles.

Landless titles can exist without the holder having any land, and are often titular. They include holy orders, mercenary companies, most religious head titles, and horde empires that arrive from off-map. The only way these titles can be destroyed is due to lack of heirs, which never happens for those that use Open Elective succession (like the Ecumenical Patriarchate). Without land, they are listed as "residing" in a county, e.g. a landless Pope is usually "Residing in Rome".

Temporary titles are always titular. There are several types of temporary titles:

• Rebellion titles are given to leaders of faction rebellions, so they can temporarily control other members. The title is destroyed when the rebellion ends.
• Landless temporary titles are given to generated revolt leaders and to ToG adventurers. The title is destroyed when the war ends.
• Adventurer titles are given to raiding adventurers and dynamic mercenaries. These titles can persist without land or war, but are not playable.
