Because the increases in demense from legalism were removed and put on the centralization slider, the AI has lost the automatic increases in base demense given by tech. As it stands, the game is now full of one title dukes with a demense of 1 + stewardship bonus, and 2-3 vassals of 20 limit, because they are all set at minimal centralization. This doesn't help their stability, doesn't help their ability to actually do anything significant, and doesn't help their cash income to lieges. It also means we have a lot of characters because most of the time anybody below a king will have one county (due to bad stewardship, gavelkind, traits or just poor stats to expand with).
Suffice to say, the average duke is highly unlikely to need an additional 18 vassals. Suggest that they either be taught to target a level that gives a lower overhead of additional vassals (like 5) or failing that simply target the second lowest or middle level when available (any duke would probably become a king before they get 20 vassals.
