[3.3.2] [IIVC] Clean holding modifiers from your demesne (eg. "Maintaining Mercenary Band")
Game Version
[3.3.2] [IIVC]
What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above
Do you have mods enabled?
No
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
If you set up a vassal mercenary band (as feudal/iqta), a modifier is immediately applied to all of your demesne holdings: "Maintaining Mercenary Band". It's not a big deal - a small debuff to levy size and levy refill rate.
However, if you want, it is possible to remove this debuff pretty easily:
--- Setup: Have more than 1 holding in your demesne. Create a mercenary band.
--- Locate a lowborn character with no relatives in your court (preferably with low intrigue and of different culture and religion)
--- Give him one of your holdings
--- When he takes posession of the holding, the "maintaining mercenary band" debuff is removed
--- Plot to kill him
--- When he dies, you inherit the holding (and the debuff is not re-applied)
If you have access to excommunication, this could be done much more rapidly. (Excommunicate, grant holding, imprison, execute, inherit.)
If you feel like taking a risk, you could clean the modifier off all holdings with only 2 murders. (Give away your capital first. Murder. Give away everything else, which auto-moves your capital back to the original county. Murder.)
All in all, if you can be bothered to go through the hassle, it would be possible to have a vassal mercenary band with all of the advantages and none of the usual disadvantages (ie. slightly decreased levy size and refill rate). A similar strategy may be possible for other, similar, holding-level modifiers.
Steps to reproduce the issue.
See above.
The attached save is at the point where a vassal baron is about to be plot-murdered to recover a barony in my capital county.
The attached screenshot (from a few days later, after the baron was murdered) shows that some of the baronies in my capital county have the modifier but others do not.
