Well if you get a choice and have to live with the consequences wouldn you complain your big blob overlord just smashed your county because you wouldnt want to send him troops?maybe a choice on how much of your levies to give your liege

its not balanced! certain empires ALWAYS dominate the map nearly every single time. I dont call that balanced when the same damn thing happens every time.
If it was balanced to perfection then there would be no rage thread....
But if i am your overlord and you dont send me troops i think i DO want to teach you sucker :-D You are basically saying there shoudl be an easy way to get out of your liege duties..why? Basically i just think your only point is: make the game easier so i can brag how good i am, i suck at the moment.it shouldnt mean an auto dec of war, it didnt mean one when you refused to raise troops in ck1

theres plenty of people who are complaining about how the blobs are overpowered, hre was not as centralized as it is at the moment which is basically a kingdom not a decentralized empire. Ere got smashed by muslims but everytime they are so overpowered they smash everything in their way. The game is unbalanced. Of course there were dominant kingdoms but last time I checked they werent able to conquer absolutely everything on the map or close to it
I think our sample size is rather small, i have seen HRE blob a lot, but also fail , the only thing i dont like too is how it automatically reforms out of the blue after a huge rebellion stronger than ever. I also never could complain about the amount of plots going on when i rule a blob to be honest. :-D What i think would help the HRE would be to let it not reform that easily afte rhuge rebellions and make it harder to raise Crown Authority. But then i always wait desperately for it to rise to get to Primogeniture ;-).
ERE was nerfed anyway in newest patch cant comment on it because of the little i played since then. And Muslims as i said are alright they provide a good challenge for Iberia, sometimes march into France , sometimes get whiped out of Iberia...very good...considering Crusades i think the Muslims shoudl be very strong and hard to beat in the Holy Land, iw oudl even say they could be stronger there, but Cruseades just have to be reworked, Crusades never work in any Crusader Kings game. They shoudl really be huge joint ventures of chistian nations uniting their forces in a special game section. Only with this massive joint force it should be able to land in the Holy Land and establish a hold there, so i wouldnt say muslims need to be nerfed, i say: Give us a proper Crusading part of the gaem, joint troops, major powers in it and maybe pope in some cases determine leadership over troops, lots of special events etc. Make it epic.
Precisely. Crusades need to be a separate game mechanic from simply various countries trotting armies across the entire map piecemeal, then getting clowned within 2 years even if they are successful. The first Crusade sent over 60,000 east! Emperor Alexius was horrified when they arrived at Constantinople, knowing that an army that size could very well threaten the city. This would simply never be reflected in game terms; everyone "crusades" on their own, and there is precious little cooperation. The Pope is far more likely to call a crusade against Sardinia than he is Jerusalem or Antioch. This game is called "Crusader Kings", not "Lords of Western Europe" it is just disappointing that the design team didn't focus more on making the crusades a viable and worthwhile endeavor.
