Any way to organize my kingdom...

[Testeria]

If I'm a duke and expand my duchy - after some time (100 years in most cases) my new land become de jure part of my duchy.

Same if I grant one of my dukes county - with time it will become de jure part of this duchy.

Similar thing goes with kingdoms within an empire or duches within kingdom.

But if king owns both counties and duches there is no way to organize them - counties will always be outside my ducheis and create constant angst for my vasal dukes.

There really should be some mechanism to intentionally organize counties, duchies and kingdoms if You are a king or emperor...

I agree, nothing to add

There is no visual interface for this but it can be done by many means:
- by council action,
- from province interface,
- from duchy interface,
- by some kind of event.

I agree, and like @Fire6all said, nothing to add.

Can people who disagree elaborate a little why it is a bad idea? Just curious.

To my knowledge there is no de jure drift for counties into duchies? Only duchies drift into kingdoms and empires?

Furthermore I'd say this is a balance issue between realism and game play. The de jure system is, for better or worse, baked into the core of the game. A lot of AI logic is based on it and it provides many of the gameplay mechanics. Giving players more control is likely to make things easier and possibly exploitable.

I understand the point - but ability to reorganize Your kingdom even a little would make the game a lot more fun for many people - and it may be an important part of "growing high". It would also make much more sense if You start at earliest date as tribal with de jure borders already set from much later dates.

But I agree with Your argument, thanks.

I would rather make shaping duches and kingdoms more difficult then impossible.
