Disintegrating Kingdoms

[Vidfavne]

Argh.

I love CK(+DV), but it's totally pointless to play it for more than 150-200 years. Every single kingdom at the start of the scenario will disintegrate except for the one I'm controlling - leaving me with a total mess of ministates spread out all over europe, plus a few kings that hold several kingdom titles but only has 1-2 domains located in totally ahistorical places. Only option is to try to reconstruct a kingdom and hand it over to a brother, or give up.

Is there any mod that tries to fix this, perhaps by making the kingdom title stronger in some way?

What level of AI aggressiveness are you playing on? Anything higher than Coward or Weakling makes the AI keen to fight, with corresponding fragmentation of kingdoms.

In my current game as Flanders (AI Weakling), by 1430 France is largely intact, and the Iberian peninsula has a strong Portugal and Castile. Germany has come apart of course, but that's pretty much to be expected.

Interestingly, England has disintegrated into civil war, with the former king left holding the King of Wales title, but Scotland remains firm and united.

I have disabled the Mongol invasions because they screw up the eastern half of the map...

Also a good part of it is luck. In my Greek game (n/n), the usually-unstable triple crown of the German kings held together and held a massive chunk of Europe from beginning to end, and the AI managed to form Rus. On the other hand, Scandinavia got overrun by Muslims, France went to pieces, and one of my OPM vassals took the crown of the Turks. (At which point I of course switched to them.)

But yeah, lower aggressiveness = less rebellions and less suicide wars.

What level of AI aggressiveness are you playing on?

Normal. Hm. Ok, I'll try with weakling and see how that works out, thanks (to both of you).
