Tyranny

[billt568]

Does anyone know when Tyranny starts to become a problem? I find that when I have between 100-200 tyranny, noone revolts, my vassals quake with fear, and I can get a young king off the ground. 300+ tyranny is revolts everywhere. What are the limits and effects on the AI? Has anyone found it in the scripts?

Where is the tyranny number?

Not sure what you're doing to avoid revolts, because surely a tyranny of 200 would turn someone at 100 opinion to -100 opinion. I start having problems at 50 tyranny usually as it makes anyone indifferent toward me actively dislike me, and means all but my best friends become indifferent.

Or by tyranny are you not referring to the opinion modifier value?

If a vassal with some strength and the right traits hits around -40 in their opinion of me, they'll try a revolt. Tyrant can really build up fast, and even one -40 can do it in some cases.

I found out a good way to prevent being tyraniccal is not executing people or imprisoning them for no reason.
If a vassal rebels and you beat him and enforce your demands he gets automatically get imprisoned, and you can strip them off every of his titles because he is a traitor without any problem.

Afterwards you can easily just release them or banish them, either option doesn't give you tyranny problems and they won't really be a pain in your side anymore... At least in 20 years i never got stabbed in the back by anyone who i released after stripping him of his titles. (playing as Leon)

Can you strip them of every title or just one? It seems to me that you can only strip them of one title at a time.
