After some more time playing with the patch, my only observation in the negative is that the vassals really seem to get grabby when they have no reason to. I can understand the little one-kuni guy coming to me every six months or so saying 'please give me more land', but the cat with five provinces already probably shouldn't be asking for more kuni. If anything he should be asking for Daimyo titles, but hopefully with less frequency than he's begging for provinces. Or at least have every refusal affect the length of time before they ask again or something. As it stands now ambitious and jealous underlings are spamming me begging for provinces. I've revoked titles and forced people into retirement over it, some of them are so bad.
It's not every character so I don't think the system is broken (and I really like what it adds to the game) but is there any kind of info on what makes a character more prone to asking for titles, or is it just a truly random event? If it's a particular set of traits I'll make a point to avoid knighting people with those traits in the future. And it could just be a factor of how fast the clock ticks by in this game at higher speeds. Maybe it only seems like they're crawling up my butt every other day, when in real time it's more like every two or three months?
