There should be a big flashing warning in case I might (accidentally) burn some apostate relative and become a kinslayer.

Burning apostate relatives shouldn't give Kinslayer at all, in the context. You're killing them because you love God more than you love them and because they don't love God (at least, not properly). It's the one circumstance in which God won't look on you unfavourably for using Auntie Petunia as a decorative candle.

I think I just experienced a mercenary hiring bug. I was at war with a superior power but had a shitton of money, so I hired a mercenary band, but that still wasn't enough so I tried to hire another. When I clicked "Hire" the first band disappeared, so I tried again and the same thing happened. Can you only have one group of mercs at a time or something now?

I dunno, maybe situations like that warrant a different trait to indicate you "chose God over family" which gives you a kinslayer-sized opinion penalty with most people but a bonus with same trait or zealous co-religionists.

I'd been trying to rinse out the Iconoclasm heresy from my empire for the longest time, and I finally instituted the religious revocation law, and my entire empire went thunderdome with vassals revoking their vassals' titles. It was amazing, and really livened up my waiting out the threat level. Is there a special way to manage viceroyalty titles beyond just transferring vassalage? And any advice for how to become a master seducer? Last time I tried it didn't work out.

The default 1066 is actually pretty fun because you are in a relatively tough war. Your current emperor is awful and his heir is too you are likely to face revolts once you win. The next one up that starts in the 1200s is also good because you have tons of strong claims that you can press all at once against the Latin Empire.

Is there anyway to actually interact with India while playing in Europe other than just conquering your way through Persia?

You can take some stuff in Egypt area to get ports on the Red Sea and then you can just sail to India instead of going all the way through Persia. But it's kind of pointless really.

You can get the event where a bunch of merchants spend the night in your castle, tell you stories of Hindustan, and leave you a slave as a gift. Come to think of it, I'm up to the point in my Byz game that I'm going to need to start taking serious bites out of Italy, and Genoa and Venice might end up losing their republic status in the process. Should I plan to make more vassal republics to replace them? Maybe further from Amalfi so as not to be in competition? I might be able to set up republics on the Red, Black, and Caspian seas too if I try, should I?

Go in the character finder and invite some Lustful characters to your court for easy seduction. Your skill levels up when you make someone your lover. The wiki has a good guide for the finer details.

How does the game determine the diplomatic range of China? For some reason in my game, Spain and North Africa can interact with them, but I can't, being on Crete. Is there some sort of tier limit? Did they just get bits of land in the Middle East and that's letting them? I'm sure that Chinese artefacts will be super helpful in pillaging the Med, and it would be real helpful if I can, say, get the grace to destroy some of my enemies and loot the ashes.

Lesbians make some of the best wives because they can't be seduced by the court tomcat and turn into poxy embarrassments. The don't seem to produce substantially fewer children either, they are down with doing their reproductive duty, but any extra curricular activities need to be with other lesbians.

They're only good if you're worried with gavelkind about producing heirs. If you've got primogeniture or you're trying to do some inheritance shenanigans, a lesbian wife or a gay ruler can ruin everything. Although really, most plants are hermaphroditic, so it shouldn't make a difference.

I don't have a huge sample size, but my lesbian wives all produced 3 or 4 kids.  Like RL history homosexuals they seem to understand that dynasty is important. Marrying someone you actually find attractive is a peasant luxury, nobles get what they get.

I haven't played in years and was p bad back then, but I'm in the middle of an ironman run as Sardinia. I made the Kingdom of Corsica and Sardinia, conquered Salerno, had a nice holy war going in Calabria that the loving Byzantines stole from me, and have now taken over the Amalfi merchant republic. So, question: I now have the "wrong demesne" penalty. Should I be releasing Amalfi into vassalage? I can't convert to a merchant repub now right? What's the best way of planning ahead now?

When you have a wrong thing in your demesne, dump it on some friendly looking courtier asap. Also a good way to kick an undeserving son out of your inheritance line. Not sure how it works with other people's inheritance. Now I do wonder: assuming I want Duke Bob's second son to inherit the duchy, can I give his firstborn a bishopric, or will that just mean his duchy turns into the Archbishopric of Bobistan when Bob dies?

The problem there is that the primary holding of that county is a city, and as a feudal lord, you can't hold one of those without there being issues. You can take a barony in the county (or build one) and switch that to the primary title. You can also keep the merchant republic of Amalfi alive as a vassal, which has its own advantages, but I don't really know the numbers. If you just busted out of Sardinia, the extra personal land might be more important to you than the cash.

Figure out how to make the castle holder die, and inherit the castle. Then create a new city baron vassal.

Honestly just revoke the barony. The tyranny penalty for that only lasts five years and you're too small for it to matter anyway.

I think it's lame that diplomacy and marriage are basically impossible with other religion groups. IRL wasn't it pretty common for Iberian Christians and Muslims to switch sides? And I'm pretty sure the Byzantines married off at least a handful of princesses to the Turks and Mongols. It should definitely be harder than with coreligionists but there should be some ways to interact with them other than having them as vassals (and revoking as soon as possible).
