Just started a Byzantine campaign in early period 768(?) and Constantinople already has all building slots built: 1 church, 2 castles and 4 cities...well...guess Constantinople will get you plenty money and go tall with the other 2 counties in the duchy?

ive heard you can maximize tall by having all the baronies be castles. but how is that done when A) you must build one of each type of holding before you can build more baronies of the same type and
b) once a holding is built it cannot be destroyed?
Tatterhood answered the question for me, but yes you can't really get away with having all castles. It still works out relatively well with the two castles in Constantinople itself plus the other two counties (which contains another castle or two I believe). That said, playing tall becomes more viable when you're a Merchant Republic, Iqta, Monastic Feudal, or Chinese Imperial goverment where you can hold more than just castles.

Is a HRE created by Karl in less than five years a worthy strange screenshot (without my interference ... I'm playing in South India)?

will paradox ever have 75% off sale again? or is 50 the best we can ever expect even on steam summer/winter sales?

It hasn't been 75% on the oldest DLC in some years, even at the big Steam sales. No idea if Paradox will change their discount policies in the future, though.

It's really fast, but not unreasonable to see happen, depends on how the dice rolled on the event sequences.

What's the deal with searching for artifacts? My councillors just take a ton of money and negative opinions or neg tax/levy modifiers for searching and always return empty-handed with fuck all.
I think there are skill checks which don't neccecarially line up with the job they actually hold. I don't remember the details, but there are skill checks for EVERYTHING. So, best to have a genius on the job.

if i am the liege of a county inside a duchy, and i give a county, and the duchy away to a separate vassal why does he also take the vassal county inside it? I thought that was the point of not checking 'include all lower titles?' I leave it unchecked and still he takes it. Does this only apply to titles you own directly?

yeah i bought the game in fall 2015 because it went f2p weekend and was 75 off. Might have seen it go down that low again in 2016 but not since. Even dlc from 2012

If you give away a title, all it’s de jure vassals who are your direct vassal will become their vassal instead. So if you give away a Duchy, all Counts within that Duchy that are your direct vassal will become the vassal of the new Duke.

You're going to have to explain the sequence of events more. However, you being in an independence war against a duke, gives you a titular rebel ducal title, and makes you a temporary direct vassal of the king. It makes sense that the king can offer you the ducal title, but it also doesn't make sense, since you're technically supposed to be a count under said duke.

I can't say either way if this is WAD. It would make sense if the AI saw you had all the de jure territory, but if that were the case, and you were under that duke, not rebelling, the AI would be given it to your duke, most likely.

Include lower titles would mean that you hand over any title under that duchy, including any you own.

Not ticking it means you keep the vassalage of the counts, and you also keep your personally held titles, so you can transfer later, or keep specific counties

no the count in question was my direct vassal and even leaving the box unchecked transferred vassalage automatically to the new duke
