- There are no reinforcements in this game. What you can do is to march your forces into 'home' territory and then send the soldiers home. Then you immediatly raise a new army which will include all survivors from the old army + any new levies.
Ah ok good to know, lol I wont waste time sitting an army in a friendly county again lol.
- In order to make your Bishops pay their taxes and provide their levies to you they have to like you more then the Pope. This can be tricky if you have bad traits or there is a Pope with good stats.
I thought that if you change the law thingy to free it means you are their Pope? Or is this not the case, what does that law do then?
Does this also mean that if they like the Pope more, they will raise levies for him etc?
- Vassals are obliged to provide a certain amount of troops to their Liege but if they dislike him/her the amount of troops provided will be lesser as a result.
Yeah I know how it works, I just think that if they break the law (the law which they voted for as well lol) then there should be a consequence for that, I have read that in history if a vassal didn't provide the required levies they had to pay an extra tax (it has a name, I've just forgotten). Something like that, or the right to imprison (which you would have to think hard about if its worth doing or not).
- Being King in the days of CK II where by no means easy and was more about keeping sqabbling Nobels together (by kissing ass) then to force them to accept you as their supreme Ruler. Actually I think it´s way to easy to change things like Crown Laws in the game as it wasn´t until the 17th Century that any Nation could be said to have 'Absolute Crown Law' and here you can get in no time.
Yeah I understand that, I don't want it to be completely the other way, but I have never seen any thing in game where a vassal tries to get in the Kings good book. When surely one of the avenues for advancement would be to smooth talk the King? Not saying it should be the only way, but at least one way. I know that I personally promote those I like more than those I don't lol as I like to roleplay the character fully.
- On Mercs you only see the (Catholic) ones. There are also Orthodox, Muslim and different Pagan Mercs I think.
Ah ok. Still should be more I think haha, sometimes I run out.
-Vassals can change their own laws and just like you said it only applies to their Vassals (who gets to vote on it too ofcourse). The reason why your Vassals get to vote on your law changes is because they are ... well your Vassals
Yeah, but I'm talking about my Dukes etc, so they are my direct vassal but none of the laws apply to them apparently. If they don't apply then why should they get to vote lol? I can understand them voting on the Crown Authority and the Feudal Laws, but the City and Church laws are none of their business lol (and are often the hardest to change lol).
