Should i destroy all the rest of my kingdom titles after creating an empire ?

[Gunsaremagic]

I need at least 3 kingdom titles to create one should and i have 4 should i destroy them after that? gives my vassals less reasons to start a war against me right?

Yes, but you could also just give out those 3 kingdom titles and keep 3 vassals happy instead of 50. Just keep the title in which your capital duchy is (which you should hold completely).

Pretty much this.

No, don't destroy them. As an Emperor, you can have vassal Kings.
Your vassals will always *want* to go to war with you; if they're not trying to go to war with you, it's either because they think they can't win, or it's because you're blackmailing them, or it's because you used Alliances and Friendships to persuade them.

No don't do it. Its a massive waste of prestige unless you are not in confederate partition anymore. I believe even if you had changed the succession law for that particular title, if it doesn't exist and you are still in confederate partition, the titles will be created again every time you die.

Isnt this dangerous since then you rely so much on your vassals for troops and gold? Just seems like it could be risky. Just asking since I havent done this before.

If you can, keep the kingdom titles yourself (if you haven't mastered partition/succession then don't risk partitioning them to children).

There is no penalty to holding kingdom titles and in fact, each one you hold gives you bonus prestige per month. And this also means no king vassals who are rebellious by nature.

There are pros and cons. The more larger vassals you have controlling stuff, the easier it is for you to run things, but also the more dangerous those vassals are if they try something.

In the late game do keep them for yourself once u get primogeniteur U get a Tooooon of gold from your mwny vassals that way and they are too weak to oppose you directly as well
