Ck2 Too Many Held Duchies
- Crusader Kings II – Message Board. Kings can hold only two duchies. Give away all but two. The clouds pass. The rain does its work and all individual beings flow into their forms.' The less dukes there are the better, unless tech. But have the entirety of one or two de jure duchies. And destroy the rest.
- Re: Crusader Kings II Thread IV: Time to Create a New Title I need to figure out the best way to show just how successful my Byzantine Empire is. I now control all of Nubia, most of Mongolia, and most of the kingdom that includes the Indus.
Too Many Vassals Ck2
Just picked up CK2 and trying to figure out how to survive. I started with the Stamford Bridge scenario as William. I've won the war and taken England, but of course my English vassals hate me. I want to start giving away Duchies to my loyal Norman buddies, but can't figure out how. I've revoked a number of Dukes holdings, but can't give those holdings away.
Your diplomacy score is also added to the relations bonus, so having a 20 diplomacy score gives you a +20 bonus. Finally, keep the size of your demesne reasonable-there's a -10 penalty for every point you exceed your demesne size, and an additional penalty if you have more than 3 duchies as a king/emperor (they will feel you are too powerful).
I managed to give one away via the personal diplomacy tab, but now it won't give me that option anymore. It says I have no holdings to give away, but yet opinions scores say I am still taking a penalty for having too many duchies. This confused me too.
It's what happens when a modern person like us cluelessly runs smack into the intricacies of the feudal system.;)A holding is a county seat. You have to have a county title to go with the ducal title or you can't give the duchy to that person, since they would have no land in the duchy.Thus, you not only have to revoke the duchies, you also need to find a county title somewhere in order for there to be a castle, town, or bishopric to give away for the future duke to have as their ducal capital. I prefer to make this a county within the de jure duchy unless I am deliberately trying to change the ducal borders (since they may want both the duchies and that can cause trouble if you're unprepared), but it can be any county title at all to satisfy the requirement that a duke also have at least one county.
