Hello all
playing byzantine empire around 1085. very old emperor died, his grandson age 15 is new ruler. am fighting a war against azerbeijan, the sunny caliphate and the arabs
that is going well and under control
but i have an explosive number of vassal about to revolt truckloads of them and powerful too .... what do you recommend i do?
i will give away the excess duchies and counties i have
i will dish out some honorary titles if i have any
that is the obvious thing to do
should i raise already the totality of the realms armies? these armies stay with me even if the local lord rebels, right? in any case, makes sense to finish my war with the infidel faster, right?
Also, have several uncles. they hold land, almost all of them. does it make sense to continue to give them land? how likely is it they would actually come back and bite me in the ass if i give them more land?
Also, if i do have rebelion, what is the best way to dismantle big opposition ... i.e. upon emprisionment, which title to revoke and how?
Advice welcome
