I really enjoy the new levy system and I'm sure everyone else does too, but I think most would agree that the system has room for improvement. Perhaps the simplest, yet the most bettering (English isn't my first language alright? I looked it up and "bettering" is indeed a real word) change would be ability to change the commander of the capital levy. Governors should have more than one important stat so it makes sense in gameplay terms to restrict leadership of regional levies to them, but the capital levy is always led by your ruler and I believe that there much more flexibility should be allowed. Currently, when you play a small nation surrounded by other similar small nations (and 70% of the map is exactly like this) the military skill of yours and neighboring rulers is pretty much all that matters since your armies are of almost exactly the same strength, if you start with a ruler who has 2 martial nothing else really matters, you simply cannot beat your neighbor whose ruler spawned with 7 martial and that's not fun. You can of course hire mercs, but that's your whole early game economy straight down the drain, so if the minor nation you want to play as starts with a ruler of less than 6 martial you just have to restart.
I am a count, conquered another county, but its capital is a temple so I get no levies.
I can't give it away (cause I'm only a count so I'd just lose it ) nor appoint a bishop, and I can't change the county's capital.
What am I missing ?
Edit SOLVED : Never mind I found it, I had to pass limited crown authority then strip the title from the guy holding the barony, then I could move the capital to it...
But it triggers me that Hamburg capital is now Buxtehude and not Hamburg anymore
The explanatory statement, statement in favor and statement in opposition, are available at kingcounty.gov
The statement in opposition made some interesting arguments (especially compared to Proposition No. 1)
> This $1.4 billion Capital Levy costs twice the 2013 levy amount ($695 million). It will shrink playgrounds, create racially imbalanced enrollment at schools, and waste money. > > The levy contains debt payments for a school headquarters building that you were never consulted about. It expands schools when city-wide enrollment dropped in 2018-2019. > > The levy will continue the following recent problems: Wasteful spending: 2018 demolition of a 13-year-old $6.4 million building at Wing Luke Elementary. Shrinking school playgrounds: Loyal Heights Elementary, Thornton Creek, Hazel Wolf, Magnolia, Webster. Field lights used mostly for non-school rental by the City: Ballard, Cleveland, Eagle Staff, Franklin, Garfield, Roosevelt. Refusal to reopen Indian Heritage High School and African American Academy. Sidestepping laws that prohibit deliberate racial segregation: the Magnolia project violated the requirement to not βcreate or aggravate racial imbalanceβ so the District crossed out those words and fudged to say that the project βwill minimizeβ racial imbalance (Resolution 2016/17-4). > > Please vote βNoβ.
The rebuttal does address some points but I think it leaves many points standing.
> Many schools are still adding seats due to the last enrollment jump when 5,000 students joined our district.
> Projects were prioritized using equity criteria to ensure benefit to underserved populations. Safety and security systems are being updated at every school.
Both the oppositions and the rebuttals arguments could be factually inaccurate or 'spinned'. I don't feel that I can vote on this issue without more information. Cursory searches didn't dredge anything up so I'm posting here wanting to hear general opinions and hope that better informed citizens can speak up.
