Isn't that just not bothering to change already existing provinces?

Like, it would be pretty baller to have settlements only where the Romans ruled or whatevs, with the rest being tribal but it seems like a lot of work.

I'd honestly kill for more places to settle as tribal Islam, because it is the bees goddamn knees. Why, yes, I would like all the pros of tribal poo poo with literally none of the downsides, thank you very much.
It does. Also are the two pics from your second sig-gif from the same anime and if so what it called.

im really nervous right now becuz right before i left for work I started a war but then got all my vassels happy so i could finally make it so my son would get everything when i died but then right as im at the last 1/3 of the siege to win i get a war declared on me and now im like fuuuuuuuuck

this hasn't been the best round for the king of ireland start at 1066 with king brian of mumu so far but ive done so much damnit. i was trying for years to revoke desmundhain's title so i could run it myself i had to wait like 15 years for that old fucker to die so i could have his son inherit and finally make all the vassals happy. osriage(?) made a claim on me and called in someone from cull dain and im stuck up near the other tull culdesac or w/e it is gotta do this tricky good style. hopefully this 20% army movement skill works well enough.

What the heck do I do with kingdoms? I'm in my first play through after the tutorial. I made it to like 1266 and I'm the king of Ireland and I have half of Scotland and some of england and now I have two kingdoms I can assign but if I do they become independent.

I'm not in the learning scenario I know my history I know what happened to Leon and Castille

Hold on to them until you can form the empire of britannia. When you're approaching the vassal limit as an emperor, you can hand off kingdoms, as it will lower your direct vassals within that kingdom to 1. Be smart about it though. Don't hold on to Scotland and expect Ireland and England to not come after you for independence.

I loaded up and I forgot England is now owned by the Aztec Empire

Here is my situation map wise I still have to learn what the gently caress matters in my court/ vassals to screenshot

Once the Aztecs popped up in game i immediantly gave each one whos portrait is on the event button 20-55 gold so they like me and have shown no signs of aggression so I'm hoping at the very least I can grab Moray and sneak into Berziah near the end and take that too.

Make sure the heir likes you too. I did this, and it was going okay, then the Aztec leader died at about 40 and his son immediately Holy War'd my rear end. Once their event troops are gone though, they're not so tough. The last 50 years after the invasion, iirc.

What are your succession laws? If it's Not-Gavelkind, it might be a smart idea to form the Kingdom of Scotland (I think you have enough), make sure it has the same succession as Ireland (Ultimo is good), then De Jure your way through Moray. If the same guy inherits them all, you can keep multiple kingdom titles together pretty much indefinitely. Might be worth sending your chancellor to make trouble in Moray: you can plow through five indepedent counties a lot faster than one big blob.

agnatic cognatic Primogeniture are my succession laws

I have the Kingdom of Alba and the Kingdom of Bhreatain Bheag but I don't recall actually forming them I might have I was pretty drunk last night. Both consist of at least one republic and I was going to ask how that happened but I saw a post earlier talking about that.

Yeah you got it on lock then. Make sure Wales and Scotland are also Primo, De Jure chip away at the smaller guys who own poo poo that belongs to you, wait 50 years until the Aztecs lose their superarmy and/or convert to Catholicism, then go and gently caress their princesses until you've got a decent claim.

I was in the same situation in my British Empire game. Ireland/Scotland/Wales together have more than enough troops to take all of England.

Of all three kingdoms I guess I'm made of I have claim to all three. I'm worried about my republics but as long as they stay faithful I won't chop any heads off.

I've never not played Primogentiture(?) Ireland from Tuadhmhumhain literally ever. I've never finished a game mind you but I have played 2 before my current both around 15-20 hours of playtime.

This time around I'm King if the Eir'e by like 919 or something. I just want the empire of Britannia dammnit.

But the real post was can someone tell me why you would pick other succession laws? I use Primo right now because it is easy to follow and I understand the reasons why people get mad about it/ like it.

Also I just play Ireland because I'm removed from a lot of the crazy things. I literally only have to care about the people around me since I know what Ireland is. Some of these other kingdoms I have never heard of but I was big on Ancient Greece not so much Medieval Europe, well politics at least and borders and what not.

I like tanistry as Irish, for role playing reasons. You are pretty much immune from game overs, but it's hard to get your chosen heir elected because they usually favour older members of your dynasty.

I must have gotten a bug because I had to console in an heir because my 69 year old ruler apparently didnt rule for 50 years. It would just not let me change the law no matter what. I did not change it when I became ruler as him, I had no upset vassals and I deffo ruled for 10 years x 4

When you crate a new primary title it resets the rule time. That's why you should get all your laws in order before moving from count to duke and duke to king etc.

So what decides your personal levy?

My King had a 10k levy amount and when his son took over it was 8k now it is 6.5k.

Also when I had my 10k levy my vassal levy was only 5k when it was 8k before I reached the 10k.

It really hosed me up as I can now no longer defend against england even with all of Eire partial Alba and a few counties in Brittany.

vyelkin posted:

Your personal levy will be influenced by your Martial score, so if the son had lower martial he'll have a smaller levy.

Your vassals' levy sizes are affected by how much they like you, so you'll almost always get less vassal troops if you've just inherited than on an old king who's reigned for a long time, unless you have some weird circumstance where your old king has all the bad traits and your new one is a saintly genius.

15 martial to 6 reaalllly makes a difference then goddamn

It's been awhile since I've played, but I think it's a 5% increase for every point of martial. So a 9 point difference is a 45% smaller bonus to your levy size.

P sure this run is gonna have some hard times for the last 200 years until time end.

Scott Manley's lp of his King of Ireland play through is on YouTube and is very good. Its only about an hour and a half but it taught me a lot after I did the tutorial. I've never touched the Leon in game tutorial since I'm scared of being surrounded by things. I just hang out in Ireland all day.
