Yes one arbitrary point not many and one that I didn't even mention at that. I would be perfectly happy having the sue for peace system that is used in EU4, however, this would be hard to reconcile with the CB concept in CK2 which is that you are fighting for a specific title and only that specific title. Also I don't know why people keep saying that you always need 100% WS because it just isn't true.
Well, most of the time it is true. You definitely need 100% WS to enforce your demands (50% for white peace), and you usually need pretty close to that for the AI to offer surrender. I had a revolt leader offer white peace at 92% once (me: "ha ha, you're a funny guy") but I've never seen the AI offer to surrender below about 95%.
You can win a county conquest on 50-60% if the war has been running for a while, I am pretty sure that whilst the tool tips don't mention it time is a factor in getting the AI the agree.
In that case, you would send 0 % after jaywalkers and 100 % after a single manslayer. Which would be very much against your broken windows theory, as you would spend more ressource on fighting a low amount of capital crimes instead of the many, many jaywalkers.
