With this understanding of how levies work we can figure out how to get the most out of it.įirst we can, as with taxes, construct buildings, which will directly increase the levies of a holding, part of which you'll be able to raise. (BaseLevy + Buildings) * HoldingLevyFactors (BaseLevy + Buildings)) * HoldingLevyFactors * LevyLaw * OpinionModifierįor your own holdings it is simply this as both LevyLaw and OpinionModifier are equal to one.

Thus the full formula for tax becomes this: Your opinion towards yourself is always counted as a multiplier of 1. As such for each point of opinion they'll want to provide 1 and one-third percent more of their levies. The higher their opinion above 25 the more they'll want to provide, with 0 at 25 and 100% at 100. The full list of minimums are as follows:įor any opinion below 25, you will only be able to raise the minimum levy as described above. Even if due to other factors they want to give you less than the minimum, they'll still have to give you the minimum as long as they have levies available. Like with tax, your demesne always has a multiplier of 1.Ĭrown law decides the minimum levy your vassals have to provide you. Like with tax this multiplier can vary from 0 to 1. For example if someone owns a city and a castle, and is a count his levies will be based on Feudal Levies, not City Levies.

Like with tax law this is based on what type of vassal the vassal is, not the holding itself. The total levy is then multiplied by any additional factors, most notably the buildings that increase levy size, but the Marshal also has a mission that increases levy size, and certain events can increase it as well.Įach type of holding has its own type of levy law. The base levies are 60 light inf, 150 heavy inf, and 15 cavalry for castles, 75 light inf and 40 archers for cities, and 45 light inf, 45 heavy inf, and 40 archers for temples. It is calculated by adding the levies of all buildings in a holding to the base levies of that holding. This is quite similar to holding income, except with soldiers instead of gold. These three factors are multiplied together to decide how many levies you can raise. How many levies you can raise depend on three factors: General info on Crusader Kings II troop types : Levy (from Game Mechanics category) I'll therefore be going into how levies work, and what you can do to get more. As levies are core to your ability to defend yourself, understanding how to get as many as possible is important. At the time few had anything resembling standing armies, instead drafting peasants in times of war. It seems like it must be a bug at this point.In Crusader Kings II, most of your military is based around levies. This seems way to condensed for it to be intentional, for no one ever declared war on me before this happened. This all started at the same time, with multiple powers declaring war, and has not stopped. What on earth is going on.Įvery time I end one war (typically in White Peace bc i just cant get to 100% warscore while having to fend off 3-6 enemies at once) one or two or three more declare war on me! This is ridiculous! I have made White Peace with every war so far but I don't want to exist in this perpetual state of war. I have been at constant war in-game for about a decade now with no end in sight. At on point I was fighting SIX wars at once. I'm not threatening, ther isn't a defensive pact against me, I have not provoked any of them.

Its currently 937 and every single King, High Chief, Chief, etc and their brother are declaring war on me one after another. I'm playing as Poland, started with the Old Gods bookmark.
