I used the character finder to get Matilda a lowborn dude with 26 diplomacy, then betrothed all my sons and daughters to all of the HRE sons and daughters. There are like 5 primary marriage betrothals now.
You did better than I did, when Dad died and I inherited everyone in the realm declared war on me and my brother had to step in and take the throne. Think I need to check the tutorials out ;p
Thanks for the demo! I always appreciate when developers release demos for their games, especially these days.
Is there any way, other than lowering resolution, to increase performance? My system is right at the minimum requirements listed, and I hope I can get it running smoothly.
Thanks!

Do you really like Papacy as normal kingdom, where Pope has Heir???
Are you really sure, that Pope has heir (dynasty inheritance) and he is his marshall is "just small bug"?
How about message system wchich cannot inform you about f.e. that somebody outside realm, like king, has dead?

I played the Byzantine duke. I was doing "ok", nothing of note happend except 2 rebellions, and i only had 3 daugthers, no sons. So my father dies and i inherit the kingdom of Byzantine! Then everyone starts to declare war on me (even my brothers and uncles), my kingdom was split and i had almost no time to organize resistance, so i got invaded, and i quit 
Also, all my vassals hated me from the beggining, dont know why.

My Michael (that was his name wasn't it ?) became a heretic and died about 8 years in and the Emperor (i was expecting him to die every single day, i was surprised when he outlasted his son) inherited and shortly thereafter died as well with his other son inheriting with the rest of his reign filled with keeping the Empire together.
Also am i right in assuming this is the up to date version of CK2 ? I was having a look at Ireland and the characters and titles seemed a bit off, i was just wondering if that was what they were intended to be like ?.
Is there a way to keep the Duchy of Spoleto as Mathilda? The Pope usurps it always and I can't do anything about it! And fighting the Pope doesn't work either because he's too powerful.
The first impression is really good.
I have some questions though:
1.) Is there a way to show more countries on the map? I.e. the rulers of each province's capital, not just the few direct vassals to a king/emperor, so you have a more CK1-like map where you see the most important vassal on one look. Pretty much the info you get when hovering over a province now ["Province Name (Count XY of Z)"] just visible on the map. Or, if that's not possible, is there a way to use the mapmodes that are avaiable in the start-screen where it's possible to highlight kings, dukes or counts?
2.) I hope tooltips get some love until release, there where some situation where I couldn't figure out what was happening:
- I got a message saying I arrested one of my courtiers although I never gave the order to do this.
- How does wardship work? I regularly get the warning that my children don't have a warden but I couldn't find an option to give them one. Are the events that pop up from time to time where a courtier asks to become a warden the only way to get one?

You need to go to your children interaction screen, and select education or something along those lines. Then you can select a tutor.
You can also go to another rulers diplomat screen and send them to be educated there. While the child might turn say german for example, it's accually quite beneficial with a +20 opinion modifier. Of course, I sent my heir to Ethopia, and he came back some wierd culture and religion. Great stats tho.. not one under 10
I'ts the risks you can take
Look at their opinion. The tooltip should tell you exactly why they don't like you.
The "heir" of the Pope is just whoever will succeed him - not a relative of his.
Just be careful when marrying off your daughters to powerful rulers. The plus is that you get an ally. The minus is that their children will have claims on all your titles, which can really come back to haunt you in a generation or so...
Ah, i thought you could only send them to people in your court! Nice to know.
