Could it be that instead of toughening vassalizations for remote countries with no local titles, Deus Vult has done a great deal to upset the worldwide balance? I've had three Italians ask me to become their liege. My lord rules a demesme in the lowlands and has no duchy or kingdom titles related to Italy. Brittany, defiant before to all kingdoms, has withint a month of gameplay became Leon's lapdog. So did Saluces in the Italian Alps, in relation to Sicily.
Superpowers are forming all around me at this rate, mostly seperated, but spanning wide and far. The distances make no sense, and will be a terrible, attritious burden if I have to confront them. Meanwhile, they can throw soldiers from all around the world at me without regard to costs and consequence.
I believe these stupid and senseless vassal requests and offers between remote countries have to stop. They take away all the historical limits, and I was planning to play a historical game. I do not wish to end my game with the Hungarian king having Irish vassals and Byzantium making Kiev and all its lands their playground. I believe the standing and relations influence this greatly, and Sicily and Leon in my game were indeed very admireable. But these totally a-historical vassalizations are crazy even by Crusader King's standards!
(also, is it just me or do my relations keep improving everytime I load my game?)
