    Well played, you made it into the patch notes!
    - The maximum penalty for being over your domain limit is now -100% taxes/levies, increased from -90%.
    - If you vastly exceed your Domain Limit for more than one year (the grace period for new inheritances/conquests), all buildings will deactivate until your domain limit is lowered.

    It depends on your definition of winning. Winning through the military? Maybe. Winning by making your family tree a family circle? Then yes.

    I took The Spiffing Brit's recommendation and purchased a package of Yorkshire Gold tea. First cup, I've found it's a pleasant tea, a mellow flavor, not harsh like I might have expected, though this expectation was mostly forged from typical English Breakfast teas found in America. I won't go through this bag with any speed, but when I do I will strongly consider picking up another, though I must still state that I find the best method of brewing any English style teas is throwing it in the harbor.

    Edit: I liked it so much i tried to re-create it myself, and the weird thing is, following the instructions to the letter, when it comes the time to start revoking titles from the king of Germany it says to me that there no titles available to revoke. I don't know why that is, but i can't go beyond that. he has magdeburg and the title of king, he is my vassal, and yet nothing to revoke.
    Anyone has any idea as of what may be happening?

      I have the same problem, just tried it too multiple times even with restart of the game and and the game itself between tries.
      One time I could revoce 20 Titles, then the next title was greyed out and not revocable for some reason.
      Then I got to 45, then there was not title to revoke anymore.
      Now there are never any titles to revoke at all when i try this.
      I now tried at least 8 times to do this.
      I dont know what to do anymore to make this work.

    Historically speaking... This is how the Roman Empire/Eastern Roman Empire/Byzantine Empire should be played.
    They never had vassals, they had governors and military offices as seperate entities so the governors would tend to kill their way for power, and the military commanders would obviously just rebel for power.
    I would love if they were to fix the Roman Empire in CK3, because you can do a really good intrique game there, or a very good military game there. Getting more armies, and soldiers to fight in the emeperor's wars.
