2. is there a formal way you can kill(or in this case put family members on 'trial' for unfavorable religion/insurections) having that command kill_character feels rather cheap to me.
3. from what i understand after reading a bit, agents are pretty much hardcoded, but is there a way to get family members of royal bloodline married to foreign princesses? even though they arent 'heir apparent' they should still by royal blood be able to marry into other royal blood correct?
For the popup, you'd need to define what it is you want to manage these positions, like a trait or an ancillary that gives the effects of the position, as events can't directly generate effects. It's possible in a round-about way. Here's one way to do it:

I could have missed something, pretty tired right now. For the campaign_script part, there's a couple different ways you can handle it, I just put the one for the Duke in there. Essentially what it "should" do, is if you select a character who is a general with more than 2 command outside of a settlement, who hasn't already been made a duke, it sets the counter to 1. Then if you double-click to open the scroll, it should pop up a accept/decline message, which if you accept it should give the character the trait AppointPosition. They won't immediately provide effects though, since the AppointPosition line is the midway, signifying a letter being sent to a commander in the field commissioning them as a Duke. The general then has to return to an area with whatever building is set in the Duke trigger to receive his appointment, bonus, and title, which is handled by the Trait trigger.
Again, could have gotten some of it wrong, am a bit tired right now and no easy way for me to test it. Will see about addressing #2 and #3 tomorrow.

. ill imput it later to see if it works correctly. ive been messing around with traits.txt since the post so im getting down what is what(allthough one of the tutorials didnt explain all the effects and their purposes)
