I'll probably do a Welsh game. I'm a bit curious about the "- The titular Duchy title Powys is now only formable through a decision." patch note, but I doubt its anything too special.

Man, I have no idea where/when I want to start a game. 1066 Wales Unification? 769 as the first (in the game) Yingling and try to carve my way to significance in the Norse thunderdome? 1066 or so in Sardinia and try to unite it, find a way to steal Corsica from Tuscany/HRE and/or gently caress with the Muslims? Start as a vassal count in France or the HRE and just try to carve my way to relevance? Something more exotic? I can't decide.

I guess I forget how inheritance stuff works. Why does my second son get two complete duchies while my first son gets the King title and only a single duchy? Is it because the King title is considered "Better"? That is a recipe for a messy transition of power.

Also, RIP to my first ruler of this game. Though not always through pious means, you united Wales and protected it against outside forces and Fraticelli Heretics within. You lived far longer than I expected you to, and accomplished so much. When the pope announced the call of God to retake Sicily, you went even knowing you'd probably never see the land you fought so hard to rebuild again and died in the Lord's name defending Rome against the most foul European mercenaries being paid by moslem coin. And while you didn't do it for him, you'd be pleased to know your sponsored kinsman now sits as King of Sicily. Also, Cadwallon your last living son, that horrible womanizer you were so worried about, shaped up real fast in the fires of that Crusade after he took over for you. He's a good King. You earned every ounce of that Beatification. Whoever is Pope in another decade and a half or so had better bump that up to full Sainthood. You deserve it buddy.

People who get granted full Sainthood (not just Beatification) posthumously generate s bloodline. So I’m still holding out hope for Cadwgan. ninjahedgehog posted:gives you an insanely powerful bloodline for being the most badass Crusader King That’s just a bog standard Crusader King bloodline. My sponsored kinsman got that when he became King of Sicily following a crusade. Sure he got the bloodline, but my ruler got the title “Sword of Jesus Christ”

So let's say I wanna start a 769 game as a Germanic Pagan and get my Viking on. Now let's say I'm a stubborn fool and don't want to take the "Easy" route of playing as Sigurdr the Ring, in fact I'm taking the stupid route and playing as the first Yngling accessible in the game, Oysteinn of Heidmark in Oppland, who is basically a one-county nobody with a claim on the (vacant) Duchy of Viken to the south (but no claim on the counties that make up the Duchy). What the hell is my gameplan for early expansion? Let's say my goal for now is to become the High Chief/Duke of Oppland then try to get my hands on the High Chiefdom of Viken. I can use the subjugation CB (unlimited times within Norway if I choose the "Become King of Norway" ambition) but I believe that just force vassalizes the target? Actually does that even work when we're both count level rulers? The only other war dec I seem to be able to use is Tributary on neighbors, but I don't think I want to do that to the other Chiefs of Oppland since that will make actually stealing their counties for myself harder. So what the heck do I do? Does the Subjugation CB outright give me counties if I'm also a Chief/Count myself instead of making them vassals? Cause thats fine if so. Otherwise I guess its playing the fabricate claim game?

You mean Haraldr the Wartooth, High Chief of Sjaeland? Also, geh, willingly becoming a vassal to someone.... my one weakness. Still, it'd give me the protection I need to gobble up the rest of Oppland and maybe even Viken before making myself a High Chief/Duke and breaking away. One more question, if I use my One-Time Subjugation CB can I still use more subjugation CBs later if I select the "Become King of X" ambition? Cause that first subjugation would get me the 100 prestige I'd need to launch a Border Dispute CB, which costs 100 prestige, and awards 100 prestige if you win, meaning I can potentially just keep chaining Border Disputes. I mean I could just pop the Become King ambition for free subjugations, but I figure another ambition might be more useful starting out (such as raising an heir). [fake edit] Actually I guess it just calls High Chiefs Kings now?

Well, three years in and things are going really swell so far. I've taken everything in Oppland and am waiting for my levies to build up so I can seize Vingulsmark to ensure I get coastal access. However I just realized the obvious problem of Germanic Tribals. Gavelkind means my realm is gonna blow up if I die with no Petty King title. Unfortunately, while I can create the the Title of Oppland, I'd need nearly 150 more gold to do that, which is about 40 year's income. I'm already 32, not good odds in an occupation as violent as belligerent Germanic Chief. I guess I could try raiding, but my fellow Norse neighbors are as shitpoor as I am, I assume. Meanwhile the viking age hasn't started yet, so no boats, meaning its a looooong walk to the richer Christian lands and leaves my army deployed well away from my territory, just asking for trouble. So how the hell do I get some gold? Maybe the Duchy of Viken would be cheaper to form since I have a claim on it? Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Nov 16, 2018 |

Is there a good way to raise my retinue cap? Right now its 20 and even the cheapest prestige retinue of 150 Light Infantry costs 105 cap. And by 20 gold for raiding a church you mean Christian Churches, right? Not the Norse temples (wouldn't that hurt Moral Authority)?

winterwerefox posted:Go business focus and counterfeit coins. between counterfeiting, trade route, in five years you can have a ton of fake gold. join the warrior lodge, and hope they give you raid targets. My first 5 years as a viking is in business focus to debase some coinage to do other things like market villages and title creation. Then learning focus to study stars and build an observatory. gets me enough military tech to build shipyards. Good idea with business focus but thankfully looting and some raid missions from my WolfBros got a good bit of cash and shortly later a Christian monk was caught in my realm tending to the sick and proselytizing. I was just gonna hire him as a doctor but then I saw the 50 gold mentioned in the other option, so I burned him at the stake and used that gold for the title. Chalks posted:Holy crap. I'm playing a small duke in the HRE, 200 gold to my name. A crusade is called, I send my 3k troops to fight. We win. I get 3500 gold. I got 13,000 as the lead contributor to the first Crusade in my Wales game. It’s a scary amount of money, but it is also scary how fast you can spend that. Bought myself a kickass sword, a really awesome suit of armor, multiple improvements to the castles in my capital duchy and also built and modestly developed two new castles in my capital Duchy.

Its intentional to prevent Gavelkind abuse where you could keep massive territories by ensuring you only had one top-level title.

I immediately set out with the goal of obtaining my own duchy. Though luck and God's favor, I quickly fabricated and claimed the counties of Baden and Breigsau. In addition I also secured a second barony in both Wurttemberg and Baden, the former by using intrigue focus to expose and imprison my childless Baron who was swiftly thrown in the oubliette, the latter baron, also childless, died of severe stress before I could do the same thing to him (guess he knew what was coming!). And thats nothing compared to what some people do. Still possibly the most evil I've been unless you count killing a couple children as part of a revenge plot because someone killed my child.

Also are you a King proper or just a Petty King (aka an independent Duke). If you're the proper King of Ireland you might lose personal control of parts of Ireland but they should remain your vassals. But if you're only a Petty King, with multiple Ducal titles, then those Ducal Titles/Petty Kingships will be split among your heirs and none of them will owe fealty to eachother because they're the same rank.
