What exactly do Universities do? Do they speed up tech improvement only in 1 county, or do they speed it up for entire country? Do my country's tech get tech points faster if i have university?

It increases the spread of tech from the county with the University, so all bordering counties will gain the tech from there faster.

Of course, if the province itself has low tech... it's kinda pointless. But it will at least become a hot-spot to spread whatever finally reaches it.

And he will more likely accept my request than if Pope have 100 positive opinion of me I didn't help him become cardinal? For example will he accept my excomunication request of person who have positive pope opinion? I'm wondering what is the difference from just sending a gift to the pope.

Nope. You're probably just unlucky.

It might be a bug. because yesterday I had similar situation. Normally in my games plot with power over 300% triggers event almost instantly, but yesterday plot with auto invite, more than 500% power, 3 years passed and nothing happened. Then I canceled plot and make new one with manually selected five or six conspirators. Plot power ~180%, one month passed and target was dead.

I know you can check enemy alliances by going to the enemy ruler's screen and checking alliances, but what do people usually do to size up an enemy army. At this point I'm mostly going to by number of provinces compared to mine, but that not necessarily a good indicator.( Glares at Eqyptian 10K stacks of doom)

There are a couple things you can do. You can go to the ledger in the bottom right, find the Independent States tab and sort by army strength or alphabetical. Find who you want to attack and you'll see their current force. This isn't entirely accurate because when you attack, they'll get an opinion bonus with their vassals which will increase their levy size, but its a good indicator.

Another way to find out is to click on the portrait of the person you want to attack and click on the realm tree in the upper right corner of their portrait. If you hover over them in the realm tree (its actually the little troop thing but I assume you can figure it out), it'll tell you their total levy and their current levy. If you're looking to attack someone else other than the top liege (maybe another duke in your kingdom if you're not a king yet), you have to find them under their liege and hover over them to find their levy. Hope this helps! (This includes retinues too).

Edit: Here is a video showing off exactly what I'm talking about in the realm tree

I guess this isn't that new to many people but, hey, that's what this thread is for as far as I understood it:

Played as East Francia, controlled both EF and Bavaria de jure kingdoms. Two of my biggest vassals, Saxony and Tyrol, each joined in revolts against the kings of WF and Italy, respectively, for their respective claims on those kingdoms. Both wars ended in WP if I saw it correctly, and in both cases this meant that their realms became part of WF/Italy after the end of the revolt, despite their having been part of my kingdom before the war.
Is this a new feature or just a bug? If it's a feature, how exactly does it work? And does it mean I should get rid of every vassal who has a claim on other kingdoms he may decide to press in vain?

In my Ironman game in India I created a republic with one of my kinsmen (somewhere someone married into the merchant caste) as doge. Now, about 100 years later, I wanted to look how they were doing and surprise, surprise I am the heir to the republic. (Me the Samrat/Emperor of Rajastan.) Is that even possible? And what happens if I really inherit the republic?

Will pagan holy orders fight/siege against other pagan religions (slavic vs roemuova)? Or only vs cristian and muslim?

They should i believe as with plundering. It's a bug in 2.1.4 that is fixed in the Beta patch.

Well, if you inherit it stops being a republic, that one is easy. How is that possible, and if you will actually inherit or not, I don't know.
