...As I think of them, I have been out of the loop on CK for a bit of a bit, although I have read the new "FAQ" and such.

Can one count, the lowest rank, command more then one province? Or must each province be controlled by a single count? If each must be governed by a count is there a limit to the amount of provinces a duke, the next power level, can control? Also, other then giving your Lords provinces and setting lowish taxes what can you do to ensure their loyalty? Also if a Duke decides to leave your service, do the counts auto follow or do they make a loyalty check to you?
And does a Duke have to have at least one province for his own control? (As in he actually controls it not having a vassal there)
Do your counts/dukes have their own piety and prestige levels? How does this effect the game? Does the player character fight in battles? Will you be able to go to war to put someone else into power? Like recognize a partiuclar person as rightful blah blah and using your army to get them said position? Prob a lil complex...but anyway..

lol Well, i've found myself interested here in yet another title by Paradox, I can empathize. ;)
 
It would make sense that a duke would have to have direct control of at least one of the provinces under his rule, and not have all his lands enfiefed to various counts. Otherwise it would be rather hard to control his vassals without actual income and men of his own...
 
What the dukes would control (guessing as always) would probably be somewhat in line with what the kings would control only at a lower level. Talk has been that kings would/should only control about 1/3rd of their lands directly - giving the other 2/3rds to his vassals to rule. So keeping with this, i would guess that a duke would allot 2/3rds of the lands given him by the king to counts and keep 1/3rd for his direct rule.:)
 
ummm...that was on topic..I just added a lil bit about vodka. ..
 
so even if as a border country you counqer huge tracts of lands from "heathens" we have to give some of it away?:(

I think so, but look on the bright side: you'll get the 'eternal' loyalty of whomever you give it to :rolleyes:.
