Streamlined levies are neither streamlined nor reasonable

[Alexander Seil]

What the title says. First of all, this "streamlining" is extremely inconvenient, should you want to raise just a portion of the forces, or, say, have some vassal with far-flung territories, where you may want to raise two contingents in different parts of the map and send them to different places.

Second, it is absurdly unrealistic, not to mention inconsistent with other game mechanics. If a vassal of mine is involved in an internal war, he has to drag his forces together from 50 different provinces? But I just get a free pass and teleportation technology? WHY? It should work one way or the other. And, for that matter, it should just work the way it did before 1.07. This "streamlining" sucks.

Lessens micromanagement. That's why.

I approve of the new system except for where a vassal can have forces rise up from say geographically separated places Taurica and Syria at the same time in the same place when you tell it to raise that vassals levies.

I think a streamlined levy from each de jure vassal's individual titles would make more sense, like if I had a vassal duke who controlled both the duchies of Toulouse and Brittany, I would instead raise the levy from each de jure duchy's capital. Otherwise I am happy with the system, it only begins to start getting absolutely absurd if the vassal gets absurdly absolute, and as liege you really should keep that from happening.

I dislike the new system - it just ups the amount of micromanagement needed to slow the Mongols down.
