I made the observation that I could confer a a title (e.g. a county) to a landless characters and he liked me afterwards less(!!) than before. E.g. before he became my vassal he was at +60 after I made him a count he likes me at +40. I understand that obviously different formulas are applied for landless characters and rulers. However, as a player that's something that looks like unrealistic to me. Moreover sometimes it was even the case that such a character more or less directly after he got the county from me he joined a faction against me.
To make that behaviour more realistic characters that are promoted from landless to entitled should be prevented to join factions for a certain time which might be dependent on the according character traits.
Furthermore a character that got promoted should like me more than he had before..
Another not very realistic behaviour is in warfare. If I have 10'000 troops and even if my unlucky target has only 1000 troops, no allies and not enough gold to buy troops he will still fight to the end even if it is obvious that he has no chance to win. In such a case the attacked ruler should just give up immediately (exept if it's his last title) as this would at least save money and troops.
Maybe some additional actions can be added for the weak opponent to end the war (e.g. become a vassal of the attacker which would end the independence, but would let him in place as a ruler, offer a daughter to be married so the stronger ruler would not get the title immediately, but he or an ally would inherit it later, pay gold to stop the war, etc.)
