In the early days of an Empire a Kingdom holds a sizable share of your levies. When you first become an Emperor, I would argue against creating King Vassals. I had a King of Denmark and Skotland as a vassal, with his opinion at 70 he was still running a faction to secede, and holding around 70% power by himself. If a King Vassal gains enough personal power his opinion of you is almost irrelevant, he WILL join Independence factions. King Vassals are powerful enough that, early on, you NEED to keep Also, a Kingdom worth of Liege Levy can often handle minor rebellions by itself. When an entire kingdom's liege levyįorms up in one place it's a lot less work gathering all your armies One King Vassal is much easier on your vassal limit than the half (Bribes and Honorary Titles get better mileage) It reduces the amount of people you need to keep happy with you. Had I not already started handing out King titles I think I would have done been forced to do so just to keep under the Vassal Limit. In that game I had actually started handing out King titles to relatives just because it was giving me headaches trying to keep up with the 30-odd Dukes I had by that point (having conquered much of Germany and Lithuania as well as De Jure Scandinavia). I had a Scandinavian Empire game that was into the 1300s when the patch dropped. The question Nix linked is related, but I would argue that the new Vassal Limits that came during Charlemange do change the scenario a little.
