One thing I dislike about the way CK2 works right now is the absoluteness of title creation. For exemple with Charlamagne the important question is whether he's able to create the empire of Francia, in which case his blob will last a thousand years, or if he won't, in which case it'll be gone in a generation.

To try to smoothe out this abruptness I suggest giving each title higher than count a variable called legitimacy. Legitimacy would be a measure of how strongly people feel that the lands of the title are tied together. The legitimacy of a title could decide things like how easy it is to create, how easy it is for it to be destroyed, de jure liege bonus for suggesting vassalization, whether you get de jure cassus belli and so on. Say for exemple that if a title has less than 20/100 legitimacy and would be inherited by a minor it's instead destroyed.

Legitimacy would be increased over time by the title existing and owning over half the de jure area, having only peaceful successions and so on. It coud be lost by the title not existing, owning the minority of it's dejure land, successful claimants and so on.
