Max held duchies 2 -> 1 and increase opinion penalties for a violation

# Improve duchy buildings to compensate? Allow real specialisation for realms? Sane Warfare has several large improvements to Duchy capitals, maybe borrow/be inspired by some of those changes.

Remove all demesne limit increases. Set base demesne size:
•	Count = 2
•	Duke = 3
•	King = 4 

# Allow for pacifist religions to retain their 1 demesne boost?
# Maybe change it to:
•	Count = 1
•	Duke = 2
•	King = 3 
•	Emperor = 4
# Or make it so you get 1 extra demesne for every 10 stewardship, so a 30 stewardship count would have 4 demesne size, so demesne still remains relatively low without completely destroying stewardship as a skill.

Expand the number of T1 metropolis holdings to wherever there historically existed a significant walled town. 
•	Rename metropolis to city. 
•	Rename what CK3 calls cities to towns
•	Nerf building income by 25% across the board

# Rename them to Regional Capitals? There were several major cities that may not qualify as metropolises, and it may be confusing for newcomers.

Nerf Golden Obligations and It IS My Domain yield by 80%

# Increase gold gained from vassals and realm bishop, so keeping them happy is much more important.

For a king with 10 holdings in vanilla, these changes would reduce his domain income by ~60-70%

Politics

Increased opinion penalties:
•	Different culture
•	Different religion
•	Sinful
•	Opposite trait

# I don't think we need increased opinion penalties from sins or opposing traits, I already think sins are weak enough that I avoid them like the plague. But reducing the opinion from virtues to half would be greatly beneficial to balance.
# Reduce building of dread, and decrease its decay rate. Currently dread is far too easy to gain, only should be gained by vassals of your realm (of at least count rank), or kings/emperors from other realms. 5 dread for counts, 10 for duke, 15 for king, 20 for emperor. Should decay at roughly half current rate so executing your vassals keeps the peace for a while (as long as it was justified).

Other
Remove monthly prestige gain per every dynasty member 

# Maybe allow for vassalised kings to receive 25% renown, and dukes at 10% renown, since they'd still be important figures in the area.
