Once you get more powerful, get more into late game, and have stronger armies and Men At Arms you’ll be able to expand more, and have more vassals not part of your De-Jure title, and be safe. Try to expand only in your de-jure provinces, and when you’ve done that, choose 1 title to try to go for, and expand into those, to ensure you have as few vassals not part of your de-jure as possible. Early on in the game you’ll be pretty weak, even as an Emperor, so expansion needs to be done methodically. Looking at the Faction screen you’ll see a bar, that when the military power exceeds that, the faction will become disgruntled. This is why sometimes removing 1 powerful vassal from a faction, a few others suddenly leave as well.) * Strength of the Faction (Vassals who are wavering on joining or not, may be persuaded to join factions that look like they’ll succeed. * De-Jure title not being your primary title. (In order of severity to the best of my knowledge) However it’s not the only deciding factor, as there are many more. Because the Empire of Francia is your secondary title, if the vassals are disgruntled enough, they may still join an Independence Faction more easily than if your main title was Empire of Francia. You also hold the Empire of Francia as a secondary title. You are the title holder of Roman Empire which is your MAIN title.
Not only that, sometimes they may still join despite being their proper de-jure liege. It’s the major deciding factor in Independence Faction.
This has far bigger implications than most people new to Crusader Kings thinks, and the minor opinion modifier for not being a de jure liege, or ruler has far bigger impacts than just a small opinion negative… You guessed it. There are MANY factors which decide why they join this, and 9/10 times most peoples problem is that they are eitherĭe-Jure titles are titles that reside within titles.Įast Francia is the de jure title of the Empire of Francia for example. It’s enough to make you wanna flip a table, and uninstall if you don’t understand it. We’ll start off with the biggest, ugliest, and most extensively in depth faction… As this is the faction you’re most likely here trying to figure out how to deal with right? How do I stop my multiple vassals all ganging up on me every time a succession happens?!?! Why is that 100 opinion vassal STILL joining it?!?! Don’t make moves without a plan, and understanding how that’ll effect you later down the road, sometimes maybe even in 50-100 years. Like a King in real life, the more steps ahead you are, the better off you’ll be, and like Chess. This will lead to extremely frustrating moments as you drastically over reach, and spread too far, too thin. The biggest and most important, and absolutely crucial mistake people make playing Crusader Kings for the first time, is treating it like a Total War game. In situations like this, sometimes its better to give up vassals or land now, and take it back again later. Then I will end with tips and stragies, like how to identify a vassal you could lock up just before your Kings death, to ensure he can’t join any faction.ĬK3 is a strategy game with many many moving parts, and while its much easier than CK2 as a whole, it does still throw you many curve balls now and again, a ruler dieing early or from sickness, your only heir dieing early and you having to take over as an incompetent uncle with no stats, etc. Many complaints and frustrations come from people I see who say “My vassal has 100 Opinion of me, why is he in a faction?!” There’s a good reason for it, and this guide will help you not only understand factions, but also how to identify them before they even pop up, as well as how to transition into a new ruler with as few road bumps as possible. These logics, and reasonings are not shown in any tool tip or guide in-game, but way extremely heavily on the AI’s decision on which faction to join, why, and when. There are many underlining logic that the AI uses, and most of it makes sense and is logical. To know how to combat factions, one must know what they are and what drives their purpose. This guide is to help explain how and why vassals join factions, and how to manage your realm to weaken the factions chances of rising up.
