I can't do it anymore

[Pepsi]

I used to be able to raise levies from cities and temples. I sent gifts to my vassals that have control over the holdings to make sure my relationship is high enough
Still couldn't do it. The only thing that works is revoking the title. Is there something i'm missing?

I think you just have to go through your direct vassals now. The mayors give troops to the lords who give troops directly to you.

i own 1 county so i believe these are my direct vassals, am i wrong?

 

[pingupower]

Check your laws and opinion.

levy laws are at normal for both cities and and temples, i set it to max , didnt work

 

[Pepsi]

help meeeee

I have seen some bugs with raising levies. I'd post a savegame to the bugs forum. Can you raise them from your Military screen? Everything that can be raised will be listed there.

i have tried again and it seems i can raise the levies, however i cannot do it by right clicking a holding, and when i do it from the militairy screen or from the county screen, the levies are raised but the bar under the holdings remains full even though in reality it shouldnt be.

In 1.07, the right clicking on a holding now only works for holdings that are owned by a direct vassal. The bar also no longer changes (except for your demesne) so non-demesne holdings defend at full strength even when its men have been levied while your demesne holdings defend with much fewer men.

Also, I think levy numbers have been much reduced in 1.07 (bug or WAD?) in general. You can only levy 50% max of a non-demesne castle now - I'm pretty sure that in 1.06 you could levy 100% (with Max Feudal levies and 100 Opinion). Why does William the Conqueror in 1066 start with a ~12k army when he can only levy ~3k+? Why does the realm view for King Harold say he can raise 3k troops but he starts with 10k?

I don't know if these are bugs or wad - seems like something that would have been caught very easily by testers if it were a bug.

Those troops are there just to ensure the Norman/Norwegian Invasions work correctly. If not there, William wouldnt stand a chance and Harald`s victory would be near impossible. Think of them as... ghost levies.

But why are there discrepancies in the realm view then for all three realms? Norway, England, and Normandy all say they can only field about 3K troops. All three appear to have been boosted.

Just think of them as peasants, or free mercenaries, or whatever: the fact is, once they're disbanded, they're gone forever. The troops have no importance to anything or, indeed, any relevance other than scramble for the crown of England. Or, think of them as that OP 'whoever is sympathetic to your cause' for 'X for the throne' factions.

This is because they changed the ledger to only provide the Liege's troop available from his demesne. The troops he can raise from his vassals are now a mystery. For example, even in 1300 in my game the ledger says Egypt, HRE, Byz cna only raise ~7,000 each. I've asked about this before but no one explained why they changed it.

Yeah, I know the ledger is wrong now - but I use the realm view to see how many troops each of my vassal kings can raise. FYI, the realm view is accessed with the far right button in the top right section of a character's main window - it's next to the family and dynasty views. Hovering over characters here will give you the number of troops each character can raise. The numbers in the realm view are still correct from what I can tell.

wow that means if i kill a levy on the field, then i still have to deal with it when i'm seiging a holding :S
