I don't think that you read my posts.
I am not replying to your bug report, just to your question on how pretender mission works, as you can see by the quotes.
the report will be handled by the devs.
That is why I made this clarification in my first answer to you, since my first question was not specific enough:
"The question is: To complete the mission do you talk to the claimant who is in your party and ask about the progress, or do you just wait for the kingdom to be destroyed by itself when midnight passes and the kingdom doesn't have any fiefs?"
I do know the obvious stuff. I do know what kingdom to destroy and that all the lords must be dealt with. My question is specifically this:
Do you end the claimant quest by talking to the claimant, so that all I have to do is release a few more lords, approach them and convince them to join my cause, and then talk to my claimant? In other words, could it be that the fact that I let five lords remain supporters of the Danish King is what stops the claimant from realising that I have completed his quest when i ask him about my progress.
If someone could answer me this I could get going on this workaround by loading an earlier save, while I wait for the devs to work on my bug report.
It seems to me, that the problem that causes my bug issue is a checklist that is in the wrong order.
When morning comes, the game first realises that Danmark is no more - because they have no territories and no free lords.
Then it realises that I am Norse Rebels faction, and because Danmark is no more, Norse Rebels are transformed into Danmark.
But since I was norse rebels, it tells me that my kingdom is no more because Norse Rebels was turned into Danmark.
These three things equate that my claimant mission failed, because Norse Rebels have no territory anymore, so it is as if my attempt to take over Danmark was beaten back.
Only after this does the system check and see that I have the claimant in my party and he is made king of Danmark, thus coming to me and telling me he leaves my party. Therefore the mission now succeeded.
"Notes of Eriu" mission seems to be volatile and have a tendency to get failed as collateral damage whenever any other mission fails. At least certain types of missions.
My guess is that I could circumvent this checklist order malfunction if I could trigger the mission to end (and succeed) manually. And what stops me from triggering this is the 5 lords still supporting King Horik being interpreted by the system as if Danmark still has a fighting chance. Remove this factor and when I ask Jarl Thorgil he will tell me that I have succeeded.
This is why I asked if someone has experience completing claimant missions.
