Confused by Realm priest Levies?

[AstroCat]

How come my levies from my Theocratic Realm Priest is capped at 49? Shouldn't they be at 100% of his Levies since my opinion with him is over 50%? Thanks for any help.

If you have a theocratic clergy in your faith, so that realm priests hold temple holdings, you get 50% of their income/levies at +100 opinion. That is the maximum value.

There's more to it, but for the sake of giving you a quick answer: no, 100% at +100 opinion are - and never were - a thing.

Ah looks like the Wiki is pretty misleading...

Check out this part of the Realm Priest section...

When a ruler's religion has the Theocratic Doctrine, temples are leased to a Realm Priest as church holdings. The realm priest provides their liege with taxes and levies based on their opinion. The minimum is at 0 opinion, where no taxes or levies are provided, and the maximum is at 50 opinion, where 50% of the taxes and 100% of the levies are provided. Unlike leases to holy orders, there is no option to revoke church holdings.

Wouldn't be the first time information from the wiki differs from what we see ingame.

But it's unclear if the game is working as intended, or if the wiki is correct and you encountered a bug. I'd report it in the bug section and provide a link to the wiki, after that one of those two will hopefully be changed.

It's more complicated than that, though I'm not sure of the real numbers in the end.

If I'm understanding it right:
25% of their taxes and 15% of their levies go to your Liege (if you have one).
Then, for the rest, it's up to 50% of their taxes and up to 100% of their levies to you, at either 50+ opinion or with a strong hook on them.

I use a mod that makes it possible to get 100% of their taxes and I didn't need to change anything for levies, so I'm pretty sure about that.

However I'm not sure why you get so few levies from him.
The bar is partially depleted:

So maybe you just need to wait for them to reinforce.

One thing to note is you are a vassal, so 25% of your realm priest's taxes and 15% of their levies go to your liege's realm priest. The remainder is then given out based on your realm priest's opinion of you.

If you have a theocratic clergy in your faith, so that realm priests hold temple holdings, you get 50% of their income/levies at +100 opinion. That is the maximum value.

There's more to it, but for the sake of giving you a quick answer: no, 100% at +100 opinion are - and never were - a thing.

It's actually that you get 50% of their remaining income at 50% opinion and 100% of the remaining levies at 100% opinion.
