Crown law in multi kingdoms?

[Sn3ipen]

I just conquered Norway in my Sweden game with the latest patch. Goal is to recreate the Kalmar Union. I have medium crown authority in both kingdoms, but the vassals in Norway are waging war with each other like there's no tomorrow. Right now it looks like I will get an ambitious Norwegian superduke that hate me worse than the plague.

Is this WAD or a bug?

Just to top it all I got vassal inheritance warning on this guy so he is likely to take half the kingdom to Scotland when he dies. So I cant just kill him or wait till he starts to rebel. I probably just have to wait him out and then take it all back from the king of Scotland.

If you want an easier game do this: First destroy the kingdom of Norway. Second fight all the Norwegians who think they have a chance in a revolt. Then let the Norwegian land drift into Sweden.

If they are fighting they are most likely either fighting faction wars or a revolt against their liege. A vassal can always do that. Medium CA prohibits press claim wars (de jure claims, strong/weak character claims).

Thanks. So there is no way to stop their faction wars?

Is it possible to list all the factions in my realm? Vassal of vassal faction? That way I feel I have better control and possibly try to make sure my dynasty and high stat guys I have hired as advisors stays duke. I don't want an ambitious count climb up and become duke.

I think I have to go back and read the DD about factions again. Cant believe I missed that. o

You need to raise them separately in each Kingdom, yes, just as how having great Royal Authority in England doesn't mean your rule over Wales or Ireland would be very centralized. If you raise it high enough then your immediate vassals in Norway won't make war on eachother either.

Don't know how faction-conflicts can be stopped externally, really.

That isn't the Kalmar Union, though. It's holding all three crowns at once.

The best thing would have been if the faction window where split in half. Your vassals factions on top and everything else on the bottom. The window is pretty big so there is enough space.

At least there should have been something in the ledger for factions. Hope they fix it in the next patch. I like factions but it is a little tedious when I try to remember the notifications.

That is the goal. I restarted as Denmark and this time I have the goal of creating the union without any form of invasion. Only tactical marriages and plots.

The Kalmar Union where controlled separately like three kingdoms with separate 'Ting-meetings' and different laws. So there isn't going to be an empire of Scandinavia with an emperor and two or three vassal kings.
