Assuming I want to do a bit of crusading but have no coastal provinces from which to get ships - Do I have to walk aaaaaall the way across the Balkans to get to Jerusalem or is there way to hire mercenary galleys? If so, I haven't found it.

Some mercenaries have ships. I experimented with Poland. Even if you don't have a coastal province, they appear in the nearest sea zone. But note that the mercenary ship quantity is bugged in the demo making it unusable.
Choose the province then at the top left, just to the right of your coa and to the left of the province name is the "make capital" button. Note each ruler can only do this once.
That's the Victual Brothers. Handy to have when you have no coast provinces, but I've heard that in the demo they have 3400 ships, making their cost a bit high.
Can I add a second CB after I've declared war, or am I forced to Holy War for one duchy at a time?
Also is there any infamy in this game, I couldn't see it?

one CB at a time. and infamy is in the form of "tyrancy" you misbehave, you get negative relations to your vassals
Just a duchy at a time? thats going to take ages to carve out a crusader kindom then unless the caliphate breaks up...
which is pretty much how the KoJ lasted since the First Crusade anyway (the Shia and Sunni caliphate in-fighting)...
Depends on whether you can declare war when you're already at war.
If you can declare war on the Emir of Badojoz for Beja, and the Sheiks in Algarves for Algarves, you can get enough provinces to form Portugal at the same time. You'll think of it as one war, but the game will think of it as three. Larger Kingdoms would be more involved, and require 5-6 technical wars, but are also possible.

I was wondering if this happens to anyone else -
Sometimes when I click on an adviser like the spymaster and then click on the map, it just selects the province ive clicked on and doesnt place the character there. I havnt found any reason why it does this, or any way to fix it. It doesnt always do it either. Any experience/tips ? Maybe just a bug.

Levy explained
Can someone explain the screenshot?
The way I saw it was that the catch from Baronies is that unless you change laws they don't pay taxes but you will have full or almost levies from them. Instead this baron is going to rise only 22.5%, and he won't rise the rest as personal levy even if under siege from foreigners.
The questions are:
- should he like me 100% in order for me to be able to rise 80% levy? And how can I make him like me so much without gifts? He already isn't paying a cent in taxes and I should even gift him money to improve relationships in order to rise levies to defend his land? This sounds quite silly. There should at least be a difference between the levy you can raise from your Barons for defense and for offense especially it is for defense against foreigners or even worse heathens.
- what's the math behind the numbers? 80% is max, 28.2% is how much he likes me and 22.5% is how much I can levy. How does the last number come out?

In order to improve relations with your vassals, send the chancellor to your province, place the baron in your council, make a grand feast or great hunt and cross your fingers, pick the right choices in random events, choose the baron as guardian for your child, give him money, marry off a daughter to him.
If Muslims attack you, you get +50% to relations with vassals for the duration of defensive war against infidels.
80% * 28.2% = 22.5%
thanks Blofeld. I like the defensive bonus against heathens. Yeah I forgot about the Chancellor, although I actually do that all the time It's just that he keeps targeting the mayor and bishop instead of the Baron.

1. Yes, levy numbers are heavily dependent on opinion. So, do everything you can to raise it. And sometimes (especially concerning cities and bishoprics) you get even more troops when lowering the levy law, since the raised opinion offsets the change due to the law. Also, you get +30 opinion for defending against religious enemies, resulting in more troops at your disposal.
2. The first number times the second equals the third: 0.8 x 0.282 = 0.225
Edit: Or what Blofeld said.
I am having a hard time figuring out the wrong government type penatly. I am playing Duke of Apulia and the Bishop of Benevento hates me. The rest of this is copy/pasta from elsewhere
Prince Bishop Ulderit is my vassal and has control of the bishopric of Benevento. He has one vassal, the mayor of the town in his bishopric. He directly holds both the bishopric and the barony, which is where the wrong government comes in, I assume. He has the wrong government, not me. I'm not sure why he hates me for being an idiot himself, but I guess that is kind of the point in being an idiot.
I can't do anything about it, and he has free male courtiers that he could give the barony to but he never does. So am I missing something? Is there a way to force this guy to fix his own house before he revolts and gets his ass kicked?
Also how do you change the capital of a county?

I thought all Bishops would always get the wrong government penalty in a feudal realm?

All prince bishops (not regular bishops) get that penalty, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing you can do to remove it.
Is there a set percentage of a character being homosexual, because it seems to be about 20% in my games, and that seems a bit high. It seem people would want to hide it in the middle ages, so it wouldn't be a viable trait.
And there is no way to change the county away from a bishopric? So what ever holy man I put there will continually revolt every few years?
