Tips on getting laws changed

[RJL18]

Not a big problem for small ducys or kingdoms where you hold alot of the power yourself but with big duchies or kingdoms I have found it hard to get the laws through the vassels.

Any tips on how to get laws through?

Appeal to their ambitions, bribery, assassinations of vassals who hate you, confiscation of their lands etc etc.

Depends how despicable you want to get

So what factors effect whether they will agree to law changes? My prestige? Their opinion of me?

I wont say for sure, cause Im somewhat uncertain about some factors.. but yeah I think opinion matters alot.
But also your general power, prestige, piety helps too.

They are just more inclined to support a ruler that they like and who is very powerful and prestigious.

It would seem to make sense. Also I reackon it depends on the law. Maybe going straight to harsh feudal tax from none is a big barrier to overcome unless you are all powerful and loved by everyone

As a big king it becomnes a slow process of trying to appease your vassals, and rightly so. The rate at which you can push laws through slows down considerably as you grow in power.

I generally dont mess around with the feudal tax, I do max out the feudal levies though. Of course I go straight for Venice and Genoa for the cash

Yeh it is correct I agree. As king of france I couldnt get my crown authority through in 7 years of reign as an adult king. I think that is kind of cool. At the end I was at 62/160 when I had to quit. Was just hoping I could get the crown law through before duke of flanders died and his ducy went left my realm. I focussed on prestige (was about 600) and relations (positive will all direct vassals) but I still couldnt get it passed.

Also out of interest...when you are a vassal they often ask you about crown authority. And you "Accept" or "Ignore". I Ignored (when I was a vassal in france) but how would I go about switching my decision to accept?
