Peasants in this game are stupid

[Gilgamesh]

So i keep getting random peasant rabble - you cant stop them like faction rebellions, they happen despite my overwhelming army, teleporting men at arms, 100% dread and their previous leader still in my dungeon.

So this whole "rebellion" thing last for about a week before another one ends up in my dungeon and rinse repeat.

It seems unrealistic bunch of people with virtually 0 chance of succeeding would just suicide into the meat grinder. Not to mention there's nothing you can do to stop the uprising.

Be a responsible liege.

Goldie only wants easy game. I keep saying Ck3 is not for him... Seems to complicated for his liking.

If you are the aggressor for every war, it is indeed most likely possible. People do not like being called to war to attack everytime. So it build up anger.

Just make sure you either have a bonus that let you absorb the malcontent or do some pause every now and then. Giving you time to do more diplo/intrigue stuff and build up your economy.

but it is 860 AD it was a aggressiv time. and you get the punishment also as a Viking where they liked to go to War´s . and to the diplo/intrigue stuff this is a think for 2 mins because there are not many thinks in intrigu you can do max 2 thinks at the time and for diplo you must go the talent-tree or you can only engage your daughter/Son´s and to the economy you need money

And to make matters worse, micro-managing the Marshall is a huge pain :p

Don't go to war too often. This is part of being a responsible liege. Throwing your subjects into the meat grinder, draining their resources for your armies, and constantly having your gaze cast outward while ignoring what's inward are all logical things that contribute to civil unrest.

Vikings liked to go to war. Norse commoners didn't like going to war. Going to war meant hands away from the herds and farms. It meant fathers and sons risking their lives for some warlord's gain. No commoner of any culture likes war.

The biggest problem I see is that if it's later in the game with development being pretty high all around, the peasants will never stop uprising. Conquer a kingdom in Great Holy war/conquest? Prepare for peasant war every 5-6 months for the next century as every province you're trying to convert will take 10-15 years. Like ffs.

Instead of called an offensive war penalty there should be a raised levies penalty instead. If you use only your men at arms you shouldn't have any problems with peasants in an offensive war. you're paying maintenance. When the troops are raised, it's increased why? Because you're paying for food and etc. Now if you were in debt with men at arms troops raised, THEN you can have the peasants getting uppity.

Fair, but technically speaking few people would have a problem with having the levies raised to protect against invasion. Homes are at stake in that situation. Though I can see the logic in applying raised levy penalty during an offensive war, combining the two.

Sadly, if you have a completely incompetent vassal who's terrible at running his domain and spends his time trying to solo conquer the Byzantines or w/e, that's not an excuse for revoking his title w/o tyranny. :P

All my vassals have <1000 gold in reserve, <10 monthly income and my kings are in debt, i mostly give up at this point and keep them as pets than anything.

Yeah vassals are pretty useless. Isn't the point for them to assist their liege?

Yeah. Citizens are pretty useless. Isn't the point for them to assist their government?
