Not true - it is to level 0.

Read the rules in the Rulebook once more. In the section under warfare there is a small section about occupation. The statement is that the occupying armies may "reduce all enemy holdings to level 0" not destroy.

You may only destroy a holding with the "contest" domain action.

The occupation is also useless against a fortified holding. Per the rules in occupation in the Rulebook, you must take such a holding with the same siege rules that you use to take a castle.

Occupying your own provinces

A regent can use a declare war action to occupy a provience he already
rules. he result is his option to destroy other regents' holdings in his
territory.
Like any kind of occupation, the province siffers -1 grade loyalty
adjustment for every domain turn that remains occupied.

Now whatever do they mean by Destroy. Is it the same or different?
