I started playing as the Kingdom of Asturias in 867, and I united Spain and formed the Empire by 940. Now what? I can't expand into Barcelona yet, since West Francia is my ally, and his empire is not breaking up (I don't know if I want it to break up yet). I want to form the Kingdom of Mauretania too, but managing a few kingdom-level vassals itself is annoying. I love the new factions system, but I find it a little weird that vassals are pissed off with a new Emperor who was a King since he was 16 under the previous Emperor, and that they loved the old Emperor and knew who his successor would be for almost 30 years and still want to kick the new King in the Royal Arse the moment he places it on the throne. But what really annoys me the most is the lack of options (blame vanilla CK2) when it comes to interacting with vassals. There's nothing much I can do to placate my vassals other than bribe them, hold a few hunts/feasts and hope for the best. It would probably be better if members of the factions came forward to the liege with requests/fears, etc and that would give the liege some option of diplomacy and intrigue.
I want to be able to have a meaningful relationship with my vassals, where traits and skills can influence the way interactions go. That possible?
