Maybe she's just that good. You know, the Albert Einstein of our era.

Except also Usain Bolt and The Pope and St. Oliver etc.

If she was that good, then I would think more powerful than all the force in the universe combined would be a better description. :P

Little did the King know Boleslava was actually the first Super Saiyan.

Is the majority of the stat boost from the base amount, or are traits giving a huge amount? If it's traits, you probably just have a typo in some mod.

An interesting fact about women not being commanders in the game, is that Paradox doesn't see a problem with them being educated as commanders (this isn't even some weird unexpected bug- roughly 1/4 of your women will routinely get one of the 'red' warrior profession traits.) If they can do that (which they, maybe, shouldn't) they should lead armies too.

Not to mention in most of my games, women always have the highest Martial scores out of everyone.

@Leatra:
I think it's been brought up, but Paradox never responds to people asking.

wat.

They never respond?

Are you all trolling... or what?
Thanks for bringing that to my attention.  For those who can't be bothered to check the link (it's actually kinda hard to find the post), Paradox programmer said they'll make female commanders moddable.  They generally keep their word, so I'm happy.

Theres only two ways that could happen. Either you artificially created that scenario, or you just encountered some insane bug.

The blacked out coats of arms are usually a good hint that there's something wrong with your install/mod.

What do you guys do once you're in the hundred odd vassal range?  Is it worth giving out a couple of Kingdoms?

No, if you give out Kingdom titles they'll become independent. More, smaller vassals are good. If you want you can give out a couple of dukedoms, especially if you're over your demesne limit, just make sure they don't get too powerful.

Even if I'm an Emperor?

E: I'm currently playing as the Emperor of Hispania and have just pulled off an invasion of the HRE after successfully conquering everything in between us.  The only major Catholic power left is England and I'm just working on raising crown authority to switch my various Kingdoms to primogeniture (definitely gonna lose a few at succession though).  There's always at least one awkward bugger with a negative opinion of me though :-\

I am Badsah of Hispania, and I have the Sultans of Mali, Africa, Acquitaine, France, and Burgundy as my vassals. All dynasty members, except the Sultan of Burgundy, who is a d'Orange.

I NEVER give out kingdoms. Another layer for taxes and levies to be shaved off before it reaches the top. They're always a pain in the arse to keep in check and will never accept an offer of vassalisation if they do become independent since they're a king.

I just use arch prince-bishops. I'm considering whether I should have mega arch prince bishops (4 or 5 duchies per bishop) or just have basic prince bishops and never hand out a single ducal title. I imagine the optimal set-up for levies would be a rather big arch prince-bishop owning the duchy and a single county while the rest of the counties in the duchy are counts. Republics could be used instead of counts if you want to milk more taxes in case you're going for a retinue system. 

There are pretty much no downsides to prince bishops. They'll always have good relations with you if you have even the basic of virtues. They rarely plot, they'll always vote for your candidate in feudal elective. They also don't get annoyed with high crown authority. Finally since they almost always have 100 relationship with you they'll pay more taxes and raise more levies than both republics and dukes.
The spamming of them excommunicating each other all the time gets annoying after a while. I suppose it's beats "idiot duke who's next to the angry heathens has joined the independence faction" x52.

I never use Prince-bishops because:
- it feels like I am abusing the system
- they never do anything, they are just there, being boring
- I tend to play muslim, so no bishops for me

I'm inclined to agree with you. They're completely broken right now. 
They should really be expanded on in a few patches. Make them good allies that help to stabilise your realm but also make it that if you have too many prince bishops they'll start forcing your country towards a theocracy with all the negatives and benefits that would supply. 

Right now the main reason why I use prince bishops is the faction system is still completely broken and helps to make things less tedious.
