Yet another faction rant (cant have enough of those right?)

[Kidneythump]

I love the concept but I find it extremely frustrating at the moment, I recently started a new game as the byzantine emperor, I've managed to keep the title for close to 200 years now and every time my emperor dies i get Independence factions popping up, these are also the only factions that come to fruition nothing else manages to get enough members. I would have loved some title claimant wars but none pops only those damn independence wars that are way more frustrating than fun

If you want you could just let them become independent, get strong claims on their titles, and then usurp them. Honestly I've gotten to point where I piss off Vassals on purpose to steal their titles.

Yea I do that to, still incredibly annoying and time-consuming...

Is it normal for your vassal to join a faction, even at +100 opinion? My uncle(king of Armenia), who have no claim on the Roman Empire joined the independence faction despite having +100 opinion.

I thought de jure vassals would never join a faction if high opinion. Or is that for dukes only?

Use your spymaster to scheme. And yeah, the commonness of independence factions and the rarity of other factions are very bad and need to be tweaked.

Hmm dunno, but I know I've seen one of the despots refuse to leave at 91 opinion when the emperor was a lunatic

The leader of the independence faction could have used his spymaster to persuade him to join.
