Streamline Truce Timers

The argument goes about it being unbalanced. If blobs are getting safer, more stable, and arguably more boring then pushing back that point with a soft limit would help things out. So would harder vassal/empire management and things like empires dissolving instead of lasting forever but that's a different story.

Again, if you really want to blob, you won't use holy war. What takes me several wars with holy war, takes a single subjugation/invasion. Holy war in theory gives you greater stability but you can just revoke all wrong religion vassals for free anyways and end up with the same scenario of right culture/religion vassals for stability.

Or invite claimant -> press claim

I can think of more than a few starts were Holy Wars are more viable than those other CBs. No declaring invasions or subjugation on the Umayyads or Abbasids. Christians in general cannot use the Subjugation CB and the Invasion CB has hoops to jump through to get/use.

Yep.

Although, I will say this: as a Muslim, you can bet your empire that I hoard piety for invasions, especially once the map settles down a bit from the Charlie start. You successfully invade the Byzantines even once, and they are done.
