Impossible to be Byzantine

[Ness]

I was playing like the Roman Empire to restore (again) the empire and this ♥♥♥♥♥. But now on is impossible, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ day by day civil wars, and not the typical for religion, im talking about destroy titles, succession, etc. Even worse, some of my vassals like Doux, sent to me it regards, or they are friends of mine, and boom, war.

What the ♥♥♥♥ Paradox, for real, what the ♥♥♥♥ is going on. I have all the DLC, I have been playing in all the continents, with all differents stories or archivements, and now on is impossible to be Roman.

Futhermore, if you start like Italy, the Byzantine Empire isn't going to collapse, is only when you decided to play as the damm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Eastern Roman Empire.

Once a set of powerful vassals rebel, beat them in the subsequent civil war, they will be imprisoned once they concede defeat - then do nothing else, do not ransom them ever, let them rot in house arrest for the rest of their lives. No more vassal civil wars during their lifetimes. Repeat as needed.

I started as a vassal in the Byzantine Empire, it collapsed and I rebuilt it. Vassal rebellion is a bit intense as Byzantine but it’s not overly terrible.

Welcome to the Eastern Roman Empire, now you know how the real Emperors felt except at about 1/100th the intensity.

It's not hard did it on first try.

High Diplomacy and good Dynasty perks help.
Also - Just build Catafracts, Armored footman, 1 or max2 Bowman, one katapult.
Also get the cultureenhancement that makes your Knights Godkillers & the "trusted Subjects one"

easy peasy -

I've started as the Duchess of Tuscany and rebuilt the Roman Empire. So it is possible as Italy.

I'm literally in the middle of a Roman Empire campaign after starting as Epirus and haven't had a single civil war that I didn't start on purpose to purge a vassal. Sounds like, no jest intended here, an actual skill issue with you not understanding how to subdue vassals. Tip, only use diplomacy and learning trees to maintain good relations with everyone, and purge non house members when you can, and only tolerate Orthodox vassals. Destroy everything that doesn't get with the memo, and focus on bribing people to get them to leave factions. Going the violent route only works if you can pick them off.
