Regarding rebellions, what happens if a faction leader is a count and his allies are dukes? Or if the rebellion consists of three kings? Will there be a new emperor ranked title for them?

Rebel leader's title is equal to the guy they are rebelling against, so it always covers any vassals of his.
E: I mean the special rebel title he gets when he revolts.

I'm most excited by the new tab for Friends and Rivals. Finally, while real me can't have friends, my simulated sociopath monarch CAN.

Does this mean we'll have a larger character panel? It can already get really packed with a lot of traits, and often the siblings part is unusable in a large family.

Correct, and the elective succession faction can only be started with the lowest level of CA. So if you're already at medium, you can't lower it twice in one lifetime to make this possible. So... um... wait & hope that the wars end, I guess :(

Wait, it can only be started with the lowest CA level? Does that mean that the only way for someone to start an elective succession faction is if I'm at Autonomous Vassals? That really sucks. I'm tempted to just use the 'all-laws' cheat and force it through, especially since there's no good way of even knowing which vassals are fighting or when they've stopped for five minutes.

It is kind of dumb in general that all your vassals need to like you in order to give them something that will make them happy. "Sorry I won't approve something that makes me like you more unless I already like you in the first place :colbert:"

Because the claimant didn't do anything, that's why. They were just sitting around in your castle and eating your food, it's not their fault a bunch of assholes decided to put them on the throne and went to war with you over it.

It may not be their fault but if you fire off an intrigue plot to kill them, it should start at 1000% since presumably you or your spymaster can just push them off a flight of stairs into a pit of hungry crocogators and call it a day.

I started a game as Tuscany a few days ago. It's the first time I've played from the Stamford Bridge bookmark in a long time and if I thought dealing with the HRE was bad before, it's even worse when they have a vassal Pope. I did at least manage to break away and unify the Italian peninsula, but then the entire duchy of Lombardy passed through the HRE through inheritance somehow and I have no idea how to get it back. I guess I have to wait for internal strife to tear the realm apart and press a courtier's claim, but in about 150+ years the only civil wars the HRE have had have all been caused by me with only two total other participants. I also want to break their vassalage of the Papacy, would I have to press my own antipope to make that happen?

Speaking of stability, in addition to Arabia and the Levant, the Fatimids hold all of Persia, Anatolia, Tunsia, and parts of Greece. They had a decadence revolt, but all that did was put a different dynasty in charge. I hope that the reworked decadence makes Muslim realms shatter when they have decadence revolts because at this point I don't think even the Ilkhanate stands a chance against them. On the bright side, I saw Castille drive the Muslims out of Iberia and form Hispania, only to completely fall apart and lose half the peninsula to Islam again within a decade.

I think friends should at least be of a similar rank to you - seems weird having a special event for some schlub with no title.

My Emperor of half of Europe made friends with a bishop (with no higher titles whatsoever) he met on pilgrimmage. Later on the bishop offered to help me out with my wars -- I was conquering Norway and Sweden at the time, just for funsies.

I didn't have the heart to tell him no.

Should be entirely possible with the changes they made to Horse Archers being a moddable 'Special Unit' dependent on culture. They explicitly mentioned modders could make it into gunmen (or wizards!)

It was mentioned in the stream. Decadence is going to be a trait that characters have a chance of acquiring if they're unlanded and/or have bad traits. Only characters with the decadent trait will actually contribute decadence to your dynasty now, and your character can convince them to mend their decadent ways.

Still not thrilled that members of your dynasty who are, like, seven generations and six siblings removed from you can still affect you, though. Trusting the AI not to gently caress something up is a fool's game, so you're still disincentivized to spread your dynasty as far as possible in a game that literally scores you based on how well you spread your dynasty as far as possible.

But for that to work, the woman would have to be a mayor in the first place, and I don't think that can happen. City titles aren't passed to an heir, a new character is generated at the (prince-)mayor's death, and AFAIK, the game only generates male mayors. Can republics even change crown laws?
