This level of crown authority is extremely important, as this will let you strip a single title from any vassal that rebels, thus allowing you to redistribute power in a way that makes the realm more stable. Crown authority can be increased by a ruler so long as his realm vote it through, this can be done multiple times supposing a ruler deem it worth the long wait in between.įurther, each step of crown authority gives the king privileges.Īt Limited Crown Authority the king gets the ability to revoke titles and the ability to appoint generals.

Do they have to be in the green? I dont know if I have the money to bribe all of them, do they leave factions once they have a positive opinion of me? There's not a specific one.
