1) How do you predict/know where the estates will revolt when you sieze their land?

2) How do you stop estates from taking conquered lands for themselves? I always notice that crownland percentage goes down everytime I finish a new campaign against my enemies and conquer new land

Thank you...

revolts are from the estates that fall below 20% loyalty when you take away their lands. the seize lands action lowers loyalty by 30 percentage points, so every estate that is below 50% spawns revolters

don't know about your 2). can't say i've noticed estate percentages changing outside of events. i think crown land also goes up when you use MP to develop lands, but i don't think the estates gain land outside of events (and player giving them privileges / selling land)

I know that they revolt when their loyalty drops below 30% but I just keep getting frustrated that I can't quickly stomp them as they devastate an area and disrupt prosperity within' an area

As for point 2, if you tick your crownland to 100%, fight a war and then take some land from the enemy for some reason it's assigned to your estates and not you yourself and typically the crown land reduces to 99% which is annoying as you lose the autonomy reduction from -0.05 to -0.01

The Limit is 30% and the loyalty reduction is 20%. This is written pretty well in the game though.

@2.: I *think* you get the new province with what the old owner had as estates/crown-land. If you go really in crownland and conquer stuff, crownland actually increases.

1) You cannot predict where estates will revolt afaik. They just pick provinces randomly with no warning.

2) Supposedly estates will get less land when they have low influence and when you have high absolutism. In my experience estate influence has very little impact and absolutism has a lot of impact.
