The hassle of revoking titles after invasions

[Gunnarr]

Hello

Playing as the Muslims, I have been doing invasions on France. But the thing I find to be the most annoying is revoking every title (barony, bishopric, town, count...) one by one in order to replace them with Muslims of my culture. Is there any way to do this quickly? Or must i have to continue manually revoke the titles taking around 6 clicks (and then having to speed up time, and have it go pause go pause for each revokations)

All occupied terrirotires during the invasion will get automatically revoked if you win the war, so best bet is to occupy every single holding in the realm. This will however also destroy all duchy titles.

Indeed. The most tedious part of winning such a large invasion is sieging those 3-4 holdings in the corners of the land that you overlooked. The leftover troops from those regions then start sieging nearby countries, etc etc.

However, the real clickfest starts when you actually won the invasion by occupying everything. Granting titles is an incredibly tedious process when you have 60 counties or more to dole out.

It's when the war is won and you have your ass on the blood drenched throne of your predecessor, and see all his old councilors and servants crawling all over your new palace, that the troubles really begin. Quite realistic, I'd say

You dont need to hand out all the baronys manually, give the entire county to some random courtier and he will deal with it.

You can also give entire duchys at once and let the AI deal with handing out the smaller territories. Generally i only do this with small insigificant duchys though unless im strong enough to fight of a horde of strong dukes wich will inevitably be down the line later on in the game, or if im creating prince bishops, in wich case i usually hand the entire thing over to them.

It's as fun as it can be when the old worms start crawling back in with an average opinion of -98

Also IIRC theres a pretty huge opinion bonus to everyone in the invaded area right after an invasion is over (obviously only if you win) wich allows you to force conversion on pretty much everyone in your new territories.

There's also the not-as-fun "Foreign Conqueror + Wrong Culture + Infidel" cocktail of maluses.

I usually do not revoke the titles of those conquered, I prefer force conversion and then let them keep their lands. Removes quite a large part of their malus.

Oh a huge bunch of folk with the wrong culture! Welcome independence faction =)

Well, they are not dejure either so you will get the independence faction anyway.

Before expanding across religions and cultures, it helps to be an emperor. Landed yourself a new foreign kingdom? Pass it on to one of the former dukes, and force-convert him. Let him handle all the problematic faction-forming dukes.

And then the gentle and friendly king decided to form his own independence faction.

Not with +80 opinion. If he does form the faction, you haven't saddled him with enough problematic dukes =D.

But seriously, the point of king-level vassals is to reduce your number of direct vassals. Having high opinions with a few kings is easier than a whole horde of dukes. Besides, duke-level factions? Let them explode in the king's face.
