Minimum crown authority and generals?

[The Insufferable]

Hi,

I am playing a game as the kaiser of the holy Roman empire.

For fun I want to play with minimum crown law throughout the game. However, I just declared my fisrt war and was gathering my troops when I realised that non of them had generals assigned. The PROBLEM is, is that I can not assign generals (minimum crown authority). So, now all of my armies have no generals. This is obviously a problem.

So, do I have to increase crown law or is their another way.

Thanks,
Jake

You'd have to get to at least Low CA to appoint generals and revoke titles (even though you don't mention it, its pretty damn important). But these are the penalties of having vassals that love you.

Or used to love you... If you have factions enabled then they hate you anyway.

I am sorta playing a...less...expansive game? I am more interested in having my dynasty found everywhere then see an even bigger HRE blob, so I don't mind not being able to revoke titles, however, I NEED generals. I don't care if I cant re-assign generals, I just want ANY general.

So I have to increase crown law?

If You've army with commanders, just without generals- try to use this big button which balances all units. You can also "push" those guys using button on the army (certain army- not tab) screen. Button is next to unit leader picture.

You will have to increase Crown Law. Your demesne and retinues will probably get generals but your vassals general will not have any generals assigned since 1.07. I heard it is going to be fixed in next patch.

So until then you will have to raise crown law to get around this bug.

Yep, in 1.06 with the lesser crown law there was always 3 generals for my armies even if I couldn't change em. I hope it goes back like that.

Prior to 1.07, your vassals led their levies, but they don't lead liege levies, accordingly the only generals you get are from your court, leading your demense troops, and your retinue(s). Suffice to say there are lots of problems with how this interacts with autonomous vassals.
