Hey, I'm a nice guy. I can make with no-agression pacts instead. I have plenty of other vassals who are so eager to part with their titles by forming factions.Maybe I should've, but I died instead. Thanks to gravelkind my duchy problem is solved and so is my heresy problem.Finally, I'm an emperor of Carpathia. One problem, I'm posessed, gay heretic and hold too many duchies and medium crown authority. So nobody likes me.Go full tyrant! People already hate you anyway.
All I need now is to convince my brother to not form a faction to steal my throne.
The best way to convince him would be by placing your brother in the Oubliette.
Regarding Gavelkind, make sure you don't have http://www.ckiiwiki.com/Elective_gavelkind instead. And you thought regular Gavelkind was bad! Only good thing about Elective Gavelkind is that your children/siblings will kindly create all those titles you omitted to create during your lifetime upon succession
for free!
(dunno if they get the prestige bonus, though, although your dynasty's prestige should skyrocket)

He's my vassal. So are his sons.I decided to be a king of hungary. Got confused over big politics and what I can and can not do.Are you in Gavelkind?
How can a guy with two sons have worrysome line of succession?
I didn't experience this that way. There are probably some weirdness you could generate, but for me it was being a double agent torn between ethical consideration of Railroad and pragmatic simathy for The Institute. Brotherhood oddly enough is the designated "Bad Guy I would never join play along with even out of curiosity" for me.I don't really like boss fights. I also think F4 plot structure is an improvement over Vegas. In Vegas branches got cut off very early so I didn't really get a good chance to get familiar with factions. In F4 they run concurrently.Personally I feel the fact that you can run with whichever faction you want really feels weird and too gamey at certain times.
I got so uneasy about faction choice by now, I dropped game altogether, but that's not the point.
For example, the Railroad seem very eager to accept a distinguished BoS veteran in their midst, in spite of their strong opposition to the Brotherhood's views.
I've had like, once, when an assassination triggered at under 100% plot power, but that's been over 300+ hours. So at least cross 100% plot power.That's what I was hoping to do but whenever someone tries to do it, king's foreign allies roll into town. So at least I will have to see my king dead first. Also half of the world seem to have fabricated claims on me, so whenever I revolt, some Austrian jerk rolls into town.
Also, can you declare war outside the realm? Go after some pagans if you can. If you can't, try to work on assassinating the Emperor or forming/joining a faction to lower crown authority. The assassinating emperor is to try and get a regent in place who might lower crown authority, they tend to do that.
