Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

any advice on adventurers? got one showing up with 8K troops when i can raise about half that. i might let him win and then just form a faction to put me back on the throne (since he's slavic and all my vassals are catholic) but some dipshit'll probably declare independence

Mercenaries. Let him split his stack to siege and bait him into unfavourable terrain. Also he'll probably boat over each stack individually so you can kill them as they disembark.

byzantium is so filthy rich you don't really need good stewardship unless you need to consolidate for a reign. i try to breed as many of my kings into brilliant strategists as i can.

my magyar game i had a king that ended up with 28 martial, Winter Warrior, and Light Infantry Expert and i was beating lithuanian armies nearly twice my size defensively

Stewardships is for increasing demesne size, which has the follow on effects of increasing your troops, and making you invincible to factions, not getting gold.

i usually like to give my second sons martial educations since you don't have to have your king lead the armies personally

I'm not being funny. Maybe I just got lucky, but I always looked them up and sent guys to kill them in my Ireland game. It was pre-Charly though so maybe it's different now.

Or are adventurers not the same thing as the guys who take like a full year preparing to invade you.

ya they removed the ability to just send assassins after guys, you have to plot manually. it's a decent change for internal stuff so you have to bribe and wheedle your way into getting a plot going but for assassinating enemies in foreign courts it's a huge fuckin pain

epic patch notes but the wiz is a oval office or putting in an option in defines to make it color in wasteland on the political map if every province is controlled by the same guy... and then setting it to off by default so that turning it on invalidates iron man

- Wasteland provinces whose adjacent controllable provinces are all owned by one country will now take on the color of that country in political mapmode, if the COLOR_WASTELANDS define is set to 1

but if you go into defines in the game folder and set it to 1 then it prevents iron man

Lol. People on the Paradox Forums were complaining that the new system of fixed terrain and river crossings made maneuver worthless and then....
