Raising Efficiency

[unmerged(23737)]

come to think of it, that could be it... good thinking

Yes and if the province regiment is not mobilzed.
This will help too.

Basically, it's all simple:
Give the poorest provinces to vassals, keep the richer ones to yourself

Now, you get max. efficiency, you get extra prestige for vassals and you don't have to worry about these darn useless poor provinces.

So where is YOUR limit? ie waht you wont keep, but rather hand to some vassal

anything below 6?

Where do I find my efficency rating? And there isn't anywhere that I can find out what my current max is?

Click on your CoA to get you realm screen and there you find for example "efficiency:10%".
The max is 100%.

There is one province i dare not to give to a single vassal. Malta... Have tried it a couple of times, every time the result was the same- every friggin' muslim country nearby and their grandmother dowed it. Suddenly i was fighting half of the world.

It can be done by giving Malta to some Duke that already has a demense of a province or two. Seems it's the one-province counties they DoW at sight.
