Casus belli · Artifacts
Artifact
The war is called “Artifact Claim War”
Artifact is a casus belli in Crusader Kings III (artifacts). If the attacker wins: You take ownership of all Artifacts that you have a claim on belonging to the defender and their Vassals. If the defender wins: No Artifacts change hands. Declaring it costs prestige. The war goal is worth 80% war score. Patch 1.20.0.3, from game/common/casus_belli_types/01_ep1_wars.txt.

Who can declare it
The game shows no text of its own for these conditions; the script is below.
Every artifacts war (the group's allowed_for_character) (2 lines of game script)
herders_and_tributary_constraints = yes pam_personal_pacifism_offensive_war_ban_trigger = yes
As written in game/common/casus_belli_groups/00_casus_belli_groups.txt.
Attacker (allowed_for_character) (4 lines of game script)
has_any_artifact_claim = yes
NOT = {
government_has_flag = government_is_landless_adventurer
}As written in game/common/casus_belli_types/01_ep1_wars.txt.
Defender (allowed_against_character) (20 lines of game script)
scope:attacker = {
OR = {
any_personal_claimed_artifact = {
artifact_war_claimable_artifact_trigger = yes
}
house ?= {
any_house_claimed_artifact = {
artifact_war_claimable_artifact_trigger = yes
artifact_owner = {
trigger_if = {
limit = {
exists = house
}
house != scope:attacker.house
}
}
}
}
}
}As written in game/common/casus_belli_types/01_ep1_wars.txt.
Cost to declare
Costs prestige. The amount is worked out when you declare (by the titles targeted, claims, distance and more), so the script is shown as written:
Cost (8 lines of game script)
prestige = {
value = 0
add = {
value = medium_prestige_value
desc = CB_BASE_COST
}
multiply = common_cb_prestige_cost_multiplier
}As written in game/common/casus_belli_types/01_ep1_wars.txt.
