Everything i do always starts factions and rebels. Declaring war against a county is equivalent to attacking russia in eu4

Play with cheats for a while. It gets easier. I literally couldn’t play that game for the first six months I had it. I can now play starting as a count and take over all of Europe.

Stop overreaching. Vassals rebel the most when you expand and execute your influence too aggressively without taking the time to consolidate your power. Also, get a good loyal spymaster.

You're doing way too much warmongering if your levies are raised long enough for it to have that big an impact on your vassals' opinion of you.

Don't underestimate the value of political marriage in expanding your influence. If you can get members of your family to inherit things outside your realm, that's great, but having them inherit things inside your realm doesn't hurt either. Family is less likely to rebel.

You can also press your vassals' claims to boost their opinion of you while expanding your realm.

If you get powerful enough, you can have vassals who are strong enough to expand on their own, allowing your realm to expand without you needing to raise levies or declare war. Though, you want to have two or three vassals like this, not just one.

Seems like marriage is the cleanest way to expand

It really is.

Even if you don't manage to grow your direct sphere of influence, you'll still have allies who'll help you in wars, including vassal rebellions. Even if it doesn't mean the difference between victory and defeat, it'll still lower the amount of resources you spend on a given conquest.

We're the frog-eyed peasants of the modern world, unfortunately. You need social value to gain social value.
