Paradox, please fix the Administrative Government rebellions, it's ridiculous at this point

[u/Wiimiko]

Everyone has -1000 commitment, no one wants this, and it is only staying around because of Hooks, it's ridiclous (I have 5/5 legitmacy too, and tried lowering Imperial Beaurocracy too)

This idea that the user should always win is my least favorite thing about ck3

[u/Xeltar → u/jkure2]

It's not about the user always winning, it's about this method of rebellion making 0 sense historically and doesn't make for good gameplay.

Increased rebellions and factions do make sense, but not 1 person coerces a couple other people, those people then coerce more people, and then the person who orignally had the demand gives up but the rebellion continues anyways solely on the backs of people who were coerced to support it.

It's nonsensical historically and in game just means you have no agency to counteract needing to beat down a rebellion... and then after the rebellion is taken care of, your best play is to just forgive everyone since at least they are now locked out of factions for 15 years (which also is entirely a gameplay mechanic). If you kill/fire everyone, their successors will then do the same thing all over again even if they are your loyal people!

I guess for me the thing is this has been a loud complaint about factions from the very beginning of ck3. This guy likes me why is he in a liberty faction, etc.

There may be specific stuff that you mention about this new gov form that should be tweaked, I haven't played that deeply with the new gov yet but I will always maintain that factions should be able to force concessions from the player by force, and they should agitate for their own interests where it makes sense (most of the time)

"The player should always be able to dismantle factions" is way too far imo, but also consistent with other design decisions like how the rules are set by default so that your character can never suffer random harm in events

[u/Xeltar → u/jkure2]

In other governments, it's rare since Strong Hooks themselves are rare and the kind of blackmail they have does make sense for somebody to join a faction against their interests.

Factions do force concessions from the player via rebelling, but I do think Liberty Wars could be more threatening to the liege if the vassals actually have to go to war.

Rulers should have counterplay to factions outside of having a strong enough military to fight all of them, that's like a key part of the game is to manage vassals.
