If that count is under a duke, then that duke gets 0.4 gold and 20 troops from each of those barons. But what if the owner of the province is not your direct vassal? However, if the owner of the province is a count that's your direct vassal, then you get only 20% of what he gets, which would mean you get 0.4 gold and 20 troops from each of those barons. If you are the owner of the province, you get all of that.

So each baron gives their count 2 gold and 100 troops. Imagine that all barons have 10 gold income and 500 troops. Let's say that everyone gets taxed 20% of their income and troops by their liege. The way vassalage works is that a vassal supports his/her liege with a portion of his/her taxes and levy. This approach involves owning as many provinces as possible.īasically, the more provinces you own, the more barons you have as direct vassals. But if you had 4 castles in that province, you would get an extra 40 gold per year and 2k max levy.Īll those troops would also be affected by your capital's tech, which is undoubtedly higher than other provinces in your realm. If you only had 1 castle in that province, you might get an extra 10 gold per year and 500 max levy. Imagine that you send your steward to boost taxes for 50% and your marshal to boost levy size for 50%.



Your concillors also get missions that you can assign them in order to boost a province's taxes or levy size. This approach involves personally owning as many holdings as possible in your capital county/duchy.ĭepending on your rank and whether or not you're an independent ruler, your capital duchy gets a bonus to levy size and your capital province gets an even larger bonus. There are generally two approaches for your demesne:
