Nice mod. Got little suggestion. The Poland-Lithuania Empire should have more de jure provinces in the east not much but maybe a few in Duchy of Turov, this way it will look better on map, it will be harder to form this empire (as it is now its like the easiest one to do) and it will be somewhat more "historical" accurate 
Keep up the good work!

Empires can only contain specific Kingdoms, so I'd have to move those provinces to Lithuania. Also, the downside to Empires that are easy to form is that they don't contain a lot of territory and you can't create multiple Emperor titles.
CK2Plus is nice... Short and simple
. I see your point, in the end of the day I know you starting looking into this already, but hopefully you go into greater detail with the negative traits or even positive traits, cause at the moment, the negative traits are exactly what they are mostly, which are "negative", and "positives" are exactly what they are too... I'm hoping we can get a few in-between or even refine the existing traits to make you wonder, "hmm... Perhaps the Negative trait is more useful than a positive for the extra +2 in Martial I'll get, in exchange for -2 Stewardship.." I am aware some negative traits have situations like this, but I think if we can have more of a choice that would be awesome for the RP experience.
There was an excellent general post about it, but I simply can't seem to find it now as posts just move to quickly in the general boards, heh.
I do think we could perhaps use more "positive" genetic traits, as right now the genetic negatives severely outnumber the positives. (I guess was the case historically, but perhaps thinking from a gameplay perspective, as this is a game after all..)
I also know there's been quite a discussion of "Grand Tournaments" on the general boards ironically which is funny as I asked about that before if you could perhaps look into that, as to me that's such a feature event that could be very intriguing to tweak, heh. (but I personally don’t have the patience or desire to do so myself, lol) Finally, I've probably mentioned it before, but one of the things that is almost an afterthought, is the "Reagent" system, I think adding more events and features would bring a whole new dynmaic to under-age rulers, I am aware there’s a concept mod going on about it, but who knows how far that’s gotten.
Ohh and good call on the HRE Revised Mod as that does look interesting which makes me wonder if the whole "Coronation" thing can be something to consider even for newly appointed Kings too.
Well that is all for now , till I perhaps come up with more ideas later, hah.
The readme for installation is wrong, it tells you to put these folders into the root CK2 folder, but I had to put them into the mods folder to get it to display under mods when I startup the game.
Actually it's not, you're probably clicking past the mod folder inside the zip and extracting those contents instead (in which case you need to install it in your CK2/Mod directory). All you gotta do is simply open the zip file and extra it to your CK II folder, and that should be good enough
Is this compatible with Rise of Empires mod? I also like the name "CK2Plus".
While Wiz can confirm, but I assume it will not be the case since Wiz also adds his own empires, etc.. So they probably edit the same files, plus I think the way the empires are made now is better, it's ahistorical, yes, but at least realistic in the formation it could happen from a gameplay perspective, so not sure if I would prefer something like that mini-mod as it's too ahistorical for my taste, being that you can form empires anywhere it seems, heh..
I don't know if the Saxon mod is a good thing to include. It's main goal isn't balance, but historical accuracy.
Well the Saxon England mod will probably only effect the 1066, September Start Date, and since I hardly play that timeframe, (I always do the December one) I don't think it would be a big deal, but for people who do, they'll enjoy it, so I'll probably have to read the mod more closely myself to get a further opinion on it.
Also, historical accuracy is never bad and i think this mod should include that as a goal to.
I've settled on CK2Plus. It will be the new name as of next version.
Here's a peek at East Africa in 0.21:
Duchies
Kingdoms
Empire
Cultures
The provinces are more developed and mercenaries have been made available for Ethopians and Nubians. I still haven't tested the full impact of the changes but my aim is to make it so the Shia Caliphate doesn't steamroll them every single game.

Nice Wiz, looking forward to it ...
BTW.. Just came across this mod:
Death Causes Trait Mod
This may be rather interesting to intergrate as all it simply does is put a trait on what their cause of death was "Battle, Natural Causes, etc.."

Looks great Wiz!
I agree that would be rather nice.

Let's hope!
.. Ohh my, just noticed this one, while not as extreme as 100 extra traits, perhaps this may be of interest: (cause Events/Plots are intergrated with it too) Prince and the Thane Mod
Can you give this mod a look? Seems like it'd be a cool thing to have documented:

I've made a small modification to the vassal rebellion system. Currently, if you defeat a rebel vassal, you may only confiscate ONE of his titles with getting slapped with the Tyranny penalty. This is unrealistic; rebel vassals were historically stripped of all land and titles when defeated (and usually executed). This little fix changes that; a lord who defeats a rebel vassal will now gain a claim on all of the vassal's titles, so that he may remove them without penalty.
I ran an observer game, version 0.20.
Maybe just a fluke, or maybe heretics are bit too strong... Shiite is gone and Orthodox only have 11 provinces left.
Largest realms: Holy Roman Empire 509, Byzantine 447, England 252, Mauretania 241, Persia 222, Poland-Lithuania 200, Scotland 188, Egypt 182, Aragon 170, Qazan 152
