Great War of Defiance
The war is called “Great War of Defiance against the defender”
Great War of Defiance is a casus belli in Crusader Kings III (event wars). If the attacker wins: The defender is imprisoned by the attacker, humiliated, impoverished, and loses all Landed Titles. Their Vassals, Counties and Tributaries become independent. If the defender wins: Defeated Independent Nomads become the defender's Obedient Vassals. All other Truces with the defender are removed. The defender becomes Greatest Of Khans and receives powerful bonuses towards universal conquest. The war goal is worth 50% war score.
