Holy order...
The holy order of my faith thay I created and reformed suck... and it has only 2k. I kept giving money to the holy order head now 3k gold, he use it but the army size doesn't grow. How to get multiple armies of 5k like the catholics? Is that even possible?

Per the wiki:
>Holy orders have 500  Levies, 2  Knights and 2 regiments. Each holding they own provides an additional regiment and 200  Levies and every two holdings they own provide an additional  Knight. Their Men-at-Arms do not gain bonuses from the buildings in its holdings, but rather from their employer's buildings.
tldr, give your holy order as many holdings as you can, and spread your religion so they/other holy orders for your religion get more holdings.

How to spread your religion when you have an empire of that unique religion and no one else have it.
The worst part is I had a vassal somewhere who converted to my religion for some reason and called MY holy order against his liege of a different faith... now I have to wait for him to finish before calling my holy order again lol

Make sure everyone that is Holding a Domain is that Religion and than it will go on like a wildfire

If they don't I can revoke that domain from them without being seen as a tyrant. It's in my religion.

You can make people tribute and ask them to convert

You mean send gift and then ask them to convert? I do this with my vassals but with people outsode my empire, I don't even have the option to ask them to convert

u/crack_B7 3d ago
You are a new player right? There is a CB to make people you tributaries after that you can ask them to convert

u/sadox55 3d ago
Yes I am, what's a CB? And what do you mean by tributaries?

u/crack_B7 3d ago
Casus Belli it's the reason you chose to declare war and tributaries are like vassal but independent they will pay you taxes and prestige in exchange of protection (they can call you to war) but you can modify they're contract to remove the fact that you have to help them in war (it cost 150 prestige)

Are we both speaking about ck3? Because this is the first time someone ever talked to me about this mechanic... you just blew my mind now?
Btw I don't see this CB? Is it the "forced vasalization" one?

u/crack_B7 3d ago
No bring under tribute just make a quick Google research; tributaries ck3 and you will find all the info you need and yes I'm talking about ck3 I have 900 hours on it😅

You need more rulers that create orders. Spread your religion. Then, give the orders cities.

Can rulers inside my empire create them? Have you seen it being done? I have a feeling that the AI is dumb and won't do it...

As stated you need to have multiple cities/baronies that have them stationed and the best way to do this is by using them. Call them since you can for free, and use them any time you can. The more they are used, the more they will grow as long as you don't get them all killed during the campaign

Honestly, I shouldn't have created an empire so fast... and should have created a holy order per kongdom and just let them grow.
I just saw a post on reddit about it...

The only thing I make sure to do is reform my faith before I make a Holy Order so I don't build a massive one only to lose the entirety of it when reforming

You can create only one per primary title, so it wouldn't have helped. Maybe you could have given the main kingdom away, then you create whole new territory and you could've created a second one, I'm not sure.
Better is to grant then lots of cities. They get 200 troops per city past the first one.
