How to find/get new vasals/people for your council
I'm still learning the game, so I started with a small kingdom and now all my vasals and council members getting old, when they die I don't have enough vasals to assign them for every specific post

Thanks, and sorry for these stupid question, it's my first game like CK3 :D

Well, for starters, do your vassals have kids? If they do, those should be able to take over your counties and duchies upon your vassals' death. If they don't, check your courtiers (click the "3 blue guys" icon on the right side, then select the "Your Courtiers" tab). That should show you not only every individual in your court, but there should also be guest people! Inviting those in can help!

If somehow that's still not enought, look up the "Decisions" options (the little feather and ink bottle icon on the right). Some of those decisions (such as "Search for Physician", "Invite Champions" or "Invite Claimants") will bring more people into your court, which you can eventually give lands to if required.

Oh, another option: If you go to war often, maybe you have prisoners? You can release them and invite them to your own court, rather than sending them packing to where they come from! That's an option!

There might be others, but those are the ones that come to mind for now! Hope that helps!

Thanks, this helped for now. I'll check these options

there are 2 good ways to have good council, 25+ on their stats. that is to marry your other courtiers to good guys and thus move them to your court. if it's a female don't forget to make sure that marriage is matrilinial, that way the male will come to your court. Sometimes it's a good idea to get your hands on some unmarried cortiers and marry them off to high quality councilers.
The other way is to pick up a perk called fabricate hook, it's 1st in line of the left tree and insanely op perk. go to search, filter away rulers, pick the best and fabricate hook on them to move them to your court.
Don't waste your prestige and gold on things like "invite claimants" - these are noob traps, through commanders are worth it sometimes.
