conquered Egypt in a crusade. Gave out the land to family members but who have no claims to my actual kingdoms. Idiots all revolt from me as soon as my main army goes home, Muslim Jihad them within a year. Which was annoying until I realized this is exactly how the Kingdom of Jerusalem fell apart :D

Onto my own question: How do you get a huge empire or kingdom while having the support of dukes? I try to keep my own duchies at 2 to prevent the penalty, but what do you do with ones that you conquer? Is there any way to get rid of them? Also, what's the best way to prevent 2 province de jure duchies from becoming real duchies? Dukes are becoming such a pain in my Aragon game...

I conquered/created Ireland/Scotland/Norway/Finland/Egypt in one of my games and yea it is a real pain the butt because everytime your king dies there is a large chance of a revolt. Personally I prefer to just imprisoning my lords of Duke rank as soon as they commit something treasonous. And the further the Duke is the lower the laws are in that country up to a point. So Finland and Egypt I had either low or medium authority during the game whereas in Scotland and Ireland I had high.

But ultimately, as long as you hold onto the King title you can let them become independent for 10 years or so and just re-conquer the most powerful/furthest away. Actually having a widely spread Empire is the most annoying in terms of revolts because each rebel can get an auto-win if you dont re-conquer them fast enough. Which is awful as it lowers your state authority no matter what -- across all of your kingdom titles!

In fact one of them already is a bishop... I guess I don't understand what succession rule I need to personally select my heir, instead of having it default to the firstborn getting the king title.

I`m having some troble with my current game. I`m playing as an Irish King, I have only female heirs and my succession is agnatic-cognatic, I made a matrelineal marriage between my eldest and a lesser prince of scotland, so their offspring is my grandson, since he is of my house, he`s even one of the pretenders. Now there comes the problem: Seeking to install my rule upon scotland, I pressed my son-in-law claim for the scotish throne, and by doing so my grandson became heir to the kingdom of scotland, ireland, wales and england. But then after I conquered the kingdom of Britany (Still the Old King, My Elder Daugther is Still Alive, And Primary Heir in a Primogeniture Succession), ALL MY DEMESNE was noticed that would be lost upon succession, to my yonger daugther... How?

probably because of your succession law. Try change it to elective and select a suitable heir.

If my elder girl is my current heir in a primogeniture agnatic-cognatic law, she would claim all my titles, yet all demesne is going to my yonger child, it makes no sense, plus if I chage to elective and put my votes in the yonger one, even if she succedes, I shaw lose the kingdom of Scotland to my grandson, since he no longer would be my next heir...

I`m thinking on giving all my lands (expt one county) to my elder daughter and hope she gets my kingdoms, as she is still in the law panel, the official heir..

Not proud of it, but for Ireland, I ended the problem by assassinating my elder daughter, now the actual king of scotland (my grandson) will aquire all my lands and titles... I still don`t understand how this happened...

you could have just picked your grandson as heir when you had elective.

On sale for 25 euro with all DLCS. Worth it for a person who played like 230 hours of EU3?

Yeah. For sure.
If you at first don't like it, check out the mods. For me the broken empires mod saved it.
The one thing I liked the least was how they made empires and kingdoms. When you're playing inside an empire, it's really really really fucking annoying as you constantly have to switch map views to know where the fuck you are.
Hot tip is to get rid of all that shit and play without empires and kings from scratch and see in what direction it goes.

Got it for $12 yesterday. Thought I'd be ok, but my laptop has a pretty hard time running it. Checked the specs and everything was cool, plenty of GPU RAM, but I guess the quality of the integrated graphics just sucks to the max . Oh well, it seems pretty cool. I'm trying to learn the interface and whatnot as King of Poland, we'll see how this goes. Might have to wait a year or two until I upgrade to a new pc to really play this. ...sigh...

The link Ramong posted shows the numerical difference which should tell you in what way each units excels, but in actual game play, it almost always come down to pure numbers. I can count the number of battles that didn't go to the larger army on one hand.

True that numbers are the biggest factor in combat, but terrain does account for a lot as well..

Defending in a mountain adds a lot to your chances and attacking an enemy who are in mountains will hurt a lot.

LMAO I just had the most awesome chain of events.

After having 3 kids my 1st wife died so, of course, I remarried. My 2nd son, and heir, came of age around the same time so I betrothed him to best girl I could find to get them started early on the babymaking. Well, I guess he was in even more of hurry than I was, because he decided to get busy with my new wife. A son was born and quickly denounced. I'm just left at 0_0
since my wife is now a step mom and step grandma to the same kid.

Well, a few years go by and the normal adultery message comes up. Usually I would say no, but a smile crept on my face when I realized it was my daughter-in-law, my heir's wife. So of course I got revenge on that motherfucker and screwed the brains out of her(I'm 57 LOL!). And of course she got pregnant and had a son. So now we both have bastard sons from each other's wives, and even funnier is that we don't even have opinion modifiers against each other
