Which is super helpful to get stability.Дepends on the situation. It also has the benefit of giving you a 10 year truce with 90% of your empire upon succession. One downside is that if you want a different player heir than the original one you chose when you inherited you have to disinherit and get the original heir killed while having his heir be your chosen new heir. So you do the same thing with your new heir. Once you die and you flip to your heir you will be way over your vassel limit. To be able to usurp my heirs kingdom they would have to fight me, the empire first. This way no one can usurp the kingdom of brittany from him because I the emperor hold the duchy of brittany and its counties besides one.

using the standard method you mentioned for any title givaways. I then load aaallll the powerful vassels and give them to my heir. I give him a county and I keep the 3 leftover counties and the duchy title for that kingdom for myself. My go to strategy once I hit empire is to give my heir a small kingdom title (say brittany). And when the inevitable civil war starts, they can have your back. That makes it so that if the count wants to cause trouble, the Duke is the one who has to deal with it and - hopefully - the count is powerful enough so that the Duke just can't take his land either.ДЄnother thing you can do to help solve your problem is if you want to strip your current vassals of their titles to give out to friendlier candidates - get some external allies first. So if I'm a Kingdom, and I have a Duchy with 3 counties in it, what I might do is give the Duke a single county, but give his vassal the remaining two counties. Now, one thing I like to do is create higher-level titles, but only give them, say, a single county, and then give them their own vassals. It takes a lot of them to band together to be a threat, but once they are, there is often not a lot you can do about it because getting any particular vassal out of a faction won't impact it's power very much. With a lot of smaller vassals, you have the reverse problem. A few large vassals have the downside that only a couple joining a faction could be a serious problem, but have the upside that you have far fewer vassals you need to influence or try to marry kids or siblings off to in order to break those factions ups.
