God, I can see what people meant when they said that being head of a religion with communion was crazy.

I done turned 'er head into a slug an' now she's a-stucked! Feudalism was usually an administrative shortcut to avoid taxation, since most places didn't have the administrative apparatus to back it up. Really the whole system where vassals provide taxes at all is kinda weird and ahistorical. Meanwhile Kings who's vassals hate them would be far weaker because their vassals would just stay home. It'd be nice if they could really keep that aspect somehow, especially if you could make well run Kingdoms super powerful because the King brings his MAA and also his vassals show with their MAA (which is what the truly powerful armies in Western Europe were made of). On the other hand it is nice for theming that professional soldiers are far superior, and you don't really want to call up levies unless you have to. It's possible that teaching them to upgrade their buildings would help though? Which is a shame because it feels awesome to be wiping stacks multiple times larger than yours with your teleporting super soldiers, but it completely destroys any semblance of military resistance from the AI. Yeah honestly I think MAA bonuses are going to need a huge nerf whenever they get around to patching it. It would be neat and make putting your dynasty on foreign thrones a bit more interesting. So having your dynasty have a university in your lands benefits everyone in the dynasty's education, but owning a university directly gives the actual learning boost. I'd like for them to give dynasty bonuses if you are the top level holder of the special site, and then full bonuses to the county holder. (Technically I could swap religions, but that would deactivate other buildings.) I'm not sure why there even is a 'Building is deactivated because of religion' thing in the issue list when there's no actual way to fix the issue. Similarly, there are a special buildings in India that say in the flavor text that they are holy to both Hindus and Buddhists, yet only work for one of them. The Hagia Sophia being completely worthless to Catholics even after mending the schism is rather annoying. You don't need to go full NK or rely on Realm Bonus special buildings for that. I mean that's already the case just with building whatever applies to your chosen MAA in your own domain. It would be an enormous addition to the snowball effect. Otherwise the inevitable result is that troops from large empires are automatically ubermensch Chads while troops from small realms are useless fodder. You could potentially do something like this, but it would require a full rework of the bonuses themselves.
