Please fix this it's litterlly game killing.

2 things as short and simple as I can. 1 PLEASE STOP WITH THE NEVER ENDING WARS! From year ten on I haven't been at peace for more than three in game days at a time! I'm basically in a state of perpetual never ending war at least 2 of them at almost all times sometimes as many as 4 it's making fief management and ruling my kingdom literally impossible. 2 rework the fief vote system I loathe it. Bare minimum if I'm king I should ALWAYS be on the ballot even if I have 0 support. I'm the king if I want that fief It's my right to have it and the lords can whine all they want but If i want it "I'm the king it's mine" should be an option. Almost every single one of my vassals have more fiefs than I do because no one will vote for me to get a fief since I don't share a border with any available. every clan in my entire kingdom loves me but I'm not even on the ballot in spite of being the most loved person in the whole kingdom. Since I'm essentially a powerless king who doesn't get to tell his own lords what to do anymore, being king has thus lost it's novelty. As of right now the AI voting system soft locked me out of gaining any new lands by my lords effectively meaning instead of a king I'm a puppet which is a huge mood killer.

Agreed on the wars, you never have the time to take care of anything else cause your faction is hopeless without you taking the reins by defending AND attacking.

I agree about the voting system as well, although more than for the fiefs which are useless anyway (they hardly make you any money, most of it comes from the loot obtained during wars) I think the biggest issue is having no way of influencing the votes / AI lord votes making no sense at all most of the times for both policies and war declarations.

We should be able to order other lords around by spending influence (or what's the point of being king) to make wars less frustrating.

Fiefs need a rework, as they are I can't even understand what's the point of having any, in the end game I don't even have to recruit anymore since I have an infinite amount of prisoners that I keep converting to top up my party numbers anyway.

I have less power as a king than I did as a lord its stupid

I wrote something similar a few months ago, I am the king of all Calradia and i only have 3 cities

There definitely should be never ending wars as a part of this tumultuous time. Where I agree is that the same faction should not feel like there is always a war going on. Factions shouldn’t be declaring war on a second faction when already in a war. Factions with less then 6 forts should only declare war on factions who are already in a war (unless the other faction also has 5 or less)

A couple simple changes could go a long way

Try keeping at least 400 garrison troops in all your cities, and 300 in all your castles, max militia. I think the AI is triggered by low-ish defenders ???
