Quick Links
InCrusader Kings 3, there are two main divisions in every realm. First, there areall the counties and holdings that vassals control. Second, there’s the ruler’s personal domain that they administer directly.
Every player should attempt to create and maintain as big of a personal domain as their ruler can handle. While vassals only provide a fraction of the taxes and levies their domains provide (along with a fraction of a fraction of their vassals' income), rulers get all the income their personal domains generate. That makes them a big source of income even when players carve out vast empires inCrusader Kings 3, so it’s important to raise the domain limit as high as possible.
What Can Raise the Domain Limit?
A Count with no other bonuses or penalties has a domain limit of 2. If a Count controls more than 2 holdings (including holdings in the same County), the extra holdings will provide no tax or levy income and all its buildings will be disabled. Vassals will also get an Opinion penalty for each holding the ruler has over the limit. Holdings are also disabled when a ruler owns the wrong sort of holding, such as a feudal ruler who controls a tribe, or a ruler who follows a Theocratic Faith and holds a temple.
