My understanding was that the game was supposed to be about your dynasty. Thus getting titles under your dynasty was a success in and of itself regardless of if the title was under your rule. At least I felt that way when I was marrying off family and later having them gain a title some where far away.
I'm wondering if it was even intended that you be able to control the whole world personally. With threat level now it seems like they're trying to get it the way they intended. Have your dynasty be everywhere, but not you personally. They've said they went with external pressure rather than internal pressure to slow expansion because many would find it unpleasant if their realm just up and broke up leaving them with parts that might not have been their top choice. Granting independence to a kingdom takes 50% from your threat level. It seems like they set it up so you would voluntarily break up a vast realm by setting up every title in a kingdom from top to bottom with your dynasty and then giving it independence, lowering your threat enough to get another. The new independent kingdoms could then take other lands and wouldn't affect your threat level but still spread your dynasty.
So is establishing your dynasty everywhere not hold any interest to people as opposed to having everyone as your vassal? I haven't played a game long enough to really try this as it's new and I usually want to try something else by that point but I'm wondering if anyone has tried the conquer-revoke-release method of planting your coat of arms everywhere.
