Hello!
What about interrealm alliances? Wouldn't they make the game more interesting? But before you go "Interwhat alliagddsqs???", let me give you a example:
Right now, while playing f.e. the duke of Brabant, you can marry the daughter of the count of Flanders. This will show the Flemish count as your ally under the alliances tab, but you won't be able to call him to war. That's because he's a vassal of the king of France, while you're a vassal of the Holy Roman Emperor. You're both in a different realm, and thus cannot join eachother's wars.
Interrealm alliances did exist historically, but are not allowed by the game. Yet, I don't think this would be very hard to implement. That's why I propose that they are made possible in a future patch. Though, with limitations based on crown authority. Here's my idea:
Autonomous CA: One can call an ally from another realm to war/accept an offer from a foreign ally to join a war, and can accept call to arms/join a war.
Limited CA: One can call an ally from another realm to war/accept an offer from a foreign ally to join a war, and can accept call to arms/join a war.
Medium CA: One can NOT call an ally from another realm to war/accept an offer from a foreign ally to join a war, but can accept call to arms/join a war.
High CA: One can NOT call an ally from another realm to war/accept an offer from a foreign ally to join a war, and can NOT accept call to arms/join a war.
Absolute CA: One can NOT call an ally from another realm to war/accept an offer from a foreign ally to join a war, and can NOT accept call to arms/join a war.
Example: France has medium CA, while the HRE has limited CA. Brabant is at war with Gelre and allied to Flanders. The crown laws of the HRE allow Brabant to pull in his Flemish buddy, and the French laws allow Flanders to go aid foreign allies. Result: Flanders can be called to arms by Brabant.
The opposite wouldn't be possible. Brabant would be allowed to join the war of a foreign ally, but wars within the French kingdom cannot be joined by outsiders. Result: Flanders will have to solve his mess on its own.
So, fellow forumites, would you like to see such mechanism? Is there something you would change? Or do you simply despise the idea?
[EDIT: it seems that since I first made this post back in Nov 2013, a few things have changed. You can now call in an ally from another realm if you are fighting an independent enemy (f.e.: the HRE-vassal duke of Brabant can attack the independent king of England and call in his ally the French vassal "duke" of Flanders). However, it still seems impossible to call in a foreign ally while attacking a fellow vassal (like the Brabant vs Gelre example above). Still hoping that this will be possible (in CK3), as it would result in a more dynamic and interesting web of alliances, and will also give a vassal player more things to do if they could get involved in minor wars between other vassals of other realms.]
