It sure does. I pressed de jure(?) claim for every single holding instead of holy war for the whole province so that explains a lot. Thanks jepmaine & Maizel.
Prestige hit. Also if unlanded, they are unable to spread your dynasty to title, without you marrying them to unmarried titled ladies.
Keeping sons unlanded is a very effective way to minimize civil war risk, but comes at a cost.
interesting..
is it possible I banished someone, and the effect of -20 was cumulative to 3 titles I took in the process? whenever I banish or revoke, it never seems consistent with the penalty description.
Now that I more or less understand the rules, I rarely banish anyone. If they rebel or sometimes plot (depends on plot?) I can imprison and then revoke a title with no penalty at all. However, you only get one free revocation. You might want to take the top one, or, if you're sneaky, you might want to leave them the Duchy and take a county from that duchy away from them (-relations hit for "desires county X") so they revolt again.
Question - speaking of being sneaky, this doesn't always work. A vassal revolts, I imprison and revoke a title. He revolts again, and I don't always seem to get a free revocation. Is there a timer on getting a second free revocation? Seems to me that any time a vassal revolts that the others would understand the penalty and if anything that a recent capture would make the feisty vassal a little more cautious. In other words, he's the bad guy for revolting right away, not me for imposing a second penalty for a second crime, even if I am being sneaky.
I'm sorry, I'm still learning the game; wouldn't your dynasty be spread to the title if you control it personally? Your heir would then control it, his heir, etcetera?
I want a bit of clarification on this. Once somebody is imprisoned, you may take one (but only one) title from them with no penalty (i.e. the rest of your vassals hating you). Is that correct? I tried this once on somebody, but everybody hated me; maybe I accidentally removed more than one title?

Question re: capitals. How do I designate which province in my demense is the capital (and is it at the holding level, or the province?)
Province-level. It's the little circular button with a crown to the left of the province name.
more of a steam question than a game one: Where do I see my CD keys?
Is there a quick way to check for possible claims of my dynasty members-vassals? (Once upon a time I accidentally noticed that my cousins/nephews had claims to certain counties I could actually get for them.)
And me thinks that this (or any other quick questions-answers) thread deserves a sticky.
