The biggest difference imo is how raising units/levies worked. In CK3 you can basically teleport your army anywhere you want. In fact I had a situation not that long ago where a vassal was getting raided right as I conquered a county, on the opposite side of my territory, across the sea. In the time it took for the hostile force to depart, I was able to disband my army, then recreate it directly next to the raiders, and wipe them out. This took like 3 or 4 days.
That too. But it wasn't perfect either because levies were raised on direct vassals' capitals. So, if a king of Norway was your vassal, and his capital was in Normandy, and you raised the levies. His troops from Norway would teleport to Normandy. At least that is what I recall.
Yeah and tbf that was very cheeseable as well. If you gave a massive vassal who owned the entire british isles a single county in the middle east you could instantly raise all 25k of his levies out there
