      you can only make 3 changes to the contract each time. So unfortunately you cant do that @ 14:30

      Question 1: Do you know why in defensive wars when I occupy enemy castle I dont get the whole earldom? Instead I get partial occupation, hence partial War Score. It makes winning defensive wars extremely hard.
      Question 2: I dont get anything from helping allies win wars, be it defensive or attacking wars. I check my war score after every battle, and I see I get hundreds of war score, I also occupy holdings, but when the war ends, it shows I have 0 war score. W.T.F. Any ideas???? o_0

      Palatinate special contract is very good with small vassals, especially if they like you. And its very good if you are the vassal, then you get a nice Intrigue bonuss.

    Sure, palatinate is bad if you're a liege giving it to your vassal, but I imagine it's nice if you're the vassal and you have it from your liege. Remember, you don't absolutely have to always be an independent ruler.

      Yeah honestly playing as a vassal is a lot more chill. AND if you give yourself council rights you can actually get some really broken bonuses if your liege is a king or a emperor. My liege changes like every 10 years and im just this crazy powerful vassal with a stupid good contract and im just like, let me explain how things work here im your chancelor everyone loves me, I WILL depose you for your shitty brother I have more levies and money than you and YOUR WELCOME.

It's such a great way to expand through land that would be a pain to take as anyone else. Almost makes me not want to declare independence until the empire is basically mine to take. Why make it harder to expand after

    This is hands down one of the best strategy games I ever played. First crusader kings and omg am I loving it still have alot to learn but I'm learning fast and stopped worrying about confexrate partition cause I come to realize you cant keep all your land just have to minimize lose and craziness in kingdom until you can change the laws. Stop caring about what happens and am just roleplaying it and I'm enjoying it alot more. But I keep starting over cause I dont know who to play I need to stop doing that. But I def enjoy playing as a count or duke first before king. Starting as a king feels like cheating almost lol no not really but you get what I'm saying

      One tip that has helped me with partition succession, make your male adult heirs that you want to get rid of into knights by forcing them in the martial - > knights screen. Then go to war with someone, raise armies, then reorganise and stick all the knights you want to kill off into a small army on their own with like 50 soldiers and then charge them into a losing battle and watch them get slain. If they escape the fight you can simply stick a rally point down, raise local armies and they will pop back up so you can send them off to die again. They may get captured instead so watch out for that, they may get released with a hook from their captor so could be a minor risk from that. I've killed off a bunch of second and third sons this way.

  • @matthewjayne4998
    @matthewjayne4998 3 роки тому +1

    You were right the first time pronouncing scutage (scoo-tage). It comes from the Latin scutum for shield so was essentially a 'shield tax'. In the early years after the Norman Conquest of England feudal contracts specified provision of military service if you were a knight or provision of x number of knights if you were a major landowner, as there was a need to raise troops quickly and efficiently in order to subjugate the Anglo-Saxon population and protect the borders against Scots and Welsh. However, as their rule became more established it suited kings to replace this requirement with a regular monetary payment instead. It meant that the king got a cash income which he could spend on whatever he wanted and it was more simple for a vassal who did not have to provide trained men, horses, armour etc. It was particularly abused by King John who tried to exploit it as much as he could. In the long run though it ended up benefiting the vassals as, except for John's attempts to abuse the system, the payments generally remained relatively fixed which meant that with inflation and increasing costs of warfare the scutage payments became increasingly insignificant as the Middle Ages went on.

    Nice video, but i think you missed a big point of the whole contract system. It becomes really interesting and shines, when you are a vassal of someone. As example, when i play as Armenia under the Muslims or the Byzantine, i negotiate higher leavies in exchange of religion rights and when i play as Tuscany, i negotiate with the Emperor of the HRE Scotage rights, and man, that contract is sooo powerfull for you

  • @cascadian4250
    @cascadian4250 3 роки тому +3

    I think the info on 3:00 is not correct. 50% penalty is if you don't hold any dejure title associated with the vassal. 25% is if you hold a dejure title that the vassal falls under, but not directly.
    For example. Prince Pandolf's penalty is 50% because you hold neither the K_Epirus (direct dejure liege) nor the E_Byzantium (dejure liege of K_Epirus). So you're not his dejure liege in any sense. William of Foggia 's penalty is 25% because you don't hold whatever duchy that Foggia falls under, but Foggia still falls under K_Sicily. It's got nothing to do with if Prince Pandolf is a duke or a count.
    "Ideal" organization is therefore one where all counts fall under their dejure duke, and all dukes fall under their dejure king. As a king you'll probably hold a duchy or two, in which case you can have direct count vassals through your ducal title.
    Emperor exemption means that a duke gives an emperor full 100% as if the duke was a king under the emperor. Even though technically there's a direct dejure king title in between.

    How do you manage the council rights grant in the long term? The guy could be a really good councilor, but his heir could be worthless. Is the idea with this that you'd use it to raise something else now and then get a hook down the road to get rid of it before that becomes a problem? Or do I misunderstand how these things work upon succession?
    And can you use it to shield yourself from that hook being used against you? Like if I grant all of my councilors that right, what happens if some other vassal tries to use that interaction?

    I was just wondering if the palatinate special contract with a vassal that is your spymaster, would then buff him to bring you better results. Not quite sure though if vassals even can be spymasters.
    I can also see it become handy to protect your heir from becoming murdered and to prepare him in general.

    Hmm, another comment remarked the palatine contract is just nice for vassals. But you could be that vassal!
    Say you as duke manage to seize the title of the byzantine empire through intrigue, but no one likes you and all are more powerful.
    You could set up a very favorable kingship with the perfect contract. What is the easiest way to switch, can you get that kingship and just abdicate the throne?
    If not possible you could appoint your heir as king with that contract, then grant the empire to come else. You might just abdicate or play as emperor until you get murdered or die of old age.
    It might be a messy succession if you have lots of kids. How do you make sure your heir has the whole kingdom, with most of it in direct control? Any complications with de jure rights?
    Also, I'd like to set up as many dynasty members as possible as independent kings and dukes to get renown. I want two levels in the legacies glory, kin, blood and warfare asap. 😄
    p.s. the trick to get the empire is to matrilineally marry a second heir, kill the heir and have an emperor grandkid. but this inherits so many problems as well. So two steps up one step down seems perfect!

    Given that "march" refers to "border territory", feels like (one) requirement for march should be "vassal has border with independent liege". Or perhaps border territory was more broad concept in middle ages.
    Does that march contract even change vassals tittle into marquess/marquis/margrave? I've not tried. lol

    • @dqaupop
      @dqaupop 2 роки тому

      Forced Partition actually doesn’t prevent the vassal from using High Partition, since it’s still a type of partition. It does stop them from using primogeniture, ultimogeniture, and house seniority. You use it when a vassal has been gobbling up other vassals and now makes up a big chunk of your empire, so that next generation they’ll lose most of their holdings and won’t be as much of a threat.

      @skullking5246 10 місяців тому

      I know it's an old comment, but I will still answer it, so if anybody has the same question, they can see this in present time. Forced partition is used to ensure your vassals don't become too powerful and their hiers keep fighting among themselves. It is good for if you have a big empire and your vassals are kindom-tier. It will ensure that they don't have massive armies and keep them weak enough for them to not completely destroy you in civil wars.
