- Byzantine Empire can no longer revoke duchies for free (how was bullshit like this allowed in the first place?).
It's there for historical reasons. You know the Byzzies weren't really feudal as portrayed in CK2; the more time passed the closer they got to it, but in 867 they didn't even come close to such a decentralized mess.
Free duchy revocation is the most applicable thing in the game's mechanics that kinda resembles how the emperors granted land. And if anything it's still an understatement: the emperor could revoke any title on a whim, not just "duchies".
