I was pretty sure I was going to go Norse first because I started a game as Gotland just before I noticed the DLC was coming, but a quick game going full Glorantha and "don't gently caress with the ducks" seems a no brainer now.

Well, duelling people is awesome. I was afraid that starting as Gotland was harder now because there are more provinces in Sweden and the two power blocks (Austergautland, just to the west, and Sundermanland, north of it) were bigger. I rerolled a high Martial guy, and immediately went for the King of Sweden ambition and declared Subjugation on one of the OPM. By he time it was over, the other two OPMs were taken. That left the two counties up north unclaimed, so I rushed them and managed to siege them faster than they did me. 4 Counties in less than a year, but by now I have no easy targets, and the closer one (the petty Kingdom of Vestergauland, to the west of Austergautlan) is being carpet sieged by Austergautlan. Specifically, by the only son and heir of the King of Austergautland. I decide to try and assassinate the kid before he wins his war, and take a stab at a weakened Vestergauland the same day. He's hated by his Spymaster and Marshall, so after 30 gold I have 200% plot power. Meanwhile, I swear fealty to Austergautland, hoping to fish for some counties if the kid kicks the bucket. Which he does, but my plot is discovered! The King naturally hates my guts, because I have killed his only heir. More importantly, he becomes my Rival. Which means I can duel him.  That's a good start, even if I have to deal with a -40 malus from being Dishonourable and a known murderer. Now to get myself killed in another duel and that will fix this problem.

Having a regent giving you Ambitious is great and all, but now he's my Rival (and thus Malcontent) and is blocking my attempts to go and take clay that is rightfully mine. I'm surrounded by assholes and incompetents. Joffreydidnothingwrong

Well, time to survive 6 months with 123% plot strength against me or it's game over. Everyone is going to get bribes, it seems. EDIT EDIT: Well, I can ask the backers to stand down at least.

So what, exactly? Marry a daughter to a bloodline, then matrilineally marry your heir’s son to your daughter’s daughter? Won’t you lose your titles that way?

Deceitful Penguin posted:No, you're marrying a dude into your dynasty matrilineally, then using the kids of that union to get them in. If they're patrilineal, you can just matrimarry any daughters into your mainline and so long as they aren't landed it works out fine, as all they'll get is her bloodlines, culture and religion. You still raise them. Little bit of incest, got it.

Good Viking reformation doctrines? Warmongering and Sons of Ragnarok seems a no-brainer, but then I keep wondering between Monasticism, Equality and Ancestor Veneration.

If you don’t give your equipment to your rival, ambitious son so you can commit suicide by dueling, I don’t know what to say.

Walton Simons posted:Defensive pagans can pull troops out of their rear end in exchange for prestige, it's really annoying. I thought they got rid of that with the new DLC, though. Yeah, they god rid of it because it was very time consuming to evaluate military strength. What's a good number/type of retinue to keep as Norse? I'm thinking 1100 Light Infantry to keep 2 500+ raider groups available at all times, but I have no idea where to go from there. Fat Samurai fucked around with this message at 11:33 on Nov 23, 2018 |

I've began playing again and, again, I get bored in peacetime as Norse (I left coalitions on to keep things somewhat challenging), so I've decided to go Artifact and Bloodline hunting, pokemon style. In order to get artifacts within my realm I have to grant independence to the owner and then raid them, right? How about bloodlines? Hod do I fuse a kidnapped bloodline descentant into my kwisatz haderach? Fake Edit: Just noticed that the owner of the Yada Tashi is unlanded and will willingly come to my court. This means that eventually it will become mine, right?
