aren't the african holy sites terrible though? if you want a relatively quick path to reformation, I think romuva might be the best choice. riga is an awesome primary duchy too.

Torrannor posted:That's not true. If you keep your elders happy, they will vote for whoever you choose, even your firstborn genius son. If they don't like you, they will vote for who they consider the worst heir. Tanistry is less extreme. They will never vote for your children (unless they're the only family members), but they don't go out of their way to elect a shithead, either. this, plus if they're not voting correctly, deport the fucker. tanistry was never this good.

Galaga Galaxian posted:mo' viking, mo' problems the subjugation cb when you're both counts just tosses them out, allowing you to take the county. there's also a conquest cb available for two hundred prestige which accomplishes the same thing, without the need to use the 'form kingdom' ambition. that's a hard start, but you do have a few options. wait until the bluetooth or one of his kids conquers a county bordering yours, then swear fealty and carve it up from the inside. it'll be an on-going thunderdome for a couple of generations and your liege will probably flip between sweden and denmark a few times, but it's not that big of a concern. in the meanwhile you can wait for all the other dumbshit one province minors to war with each other, then attack them after their done burning troops in pointless futility. the second way, which I've only ever pulled off once, involves murdering sigurdr and marrying his widown. she's the only heir to viken's capitol and in her early twenties, which means you won't really benefit from the marriage, but your heirs will. have your steward set to raise glory and if event troops do trigger, find a use for them immediately as they'll be the only way you'll have the manpower to win battles in the region for a while.

ditches are probably the best defense against horses, but ditches are super boring and don't really lead themselves to the infantry block warfare that makes games fun. in closing, combat sucks rear end if you actually gotta do it.

anywhere in mide is good, ulster also has a bunch of empty holdings as well which'll give you more troops than most of your neighbours. olafr the white in 867 is still my top pick though, cuz even if there is a spectacular amount of failure you just wind up as the king of norway.

Red_Fred posted:I heard it is better to not form kingdoms as dukes are easier to manage, is that correct? you want to create as many top level titles as you have sons, preferably in far away places through prepared invasions. crete, north africa, sardinia, crimea, etc. when you grant a top level title to one of your sons, not only do they form their own petty kingdom but they're removed from gavelkind succession. makes it fairly easy to tailor what you'd like your designated heir to receive and should put you back under the holding limit for another prepared invasion with the next generation. within fifty years or so, you should have a dynasty that's pretty much deathproof and if you're willing to console over, there'll be branches of pagan berbers and norse muslims to try out. it's not the standard version of map-painting, but you can get up to all sorts of weird poo poo that won't require a restart. also, thunderdome.

winterwerefox posted:As a Viking, conquest feudal lands. Give your heir a castle. a useless Barony or something. Now your heir is Feudal. You skip going up the legal/reform bullshit. Somewhere warm in the Mediterranean. Raid, build up your tribal counties to stone hill forts. Your heir will be able to flip counties to castles once he takes over. you can also build up a tribal holding as the top level building on a feudal county. really good source for heavy infantry while you're still taking advantage of tribal mechanics, like settling. you can always upgrade later. send in the steward, stay viking. don't let your kids turn into useless normans!

Demon_Corsair posted:With Gavelkind, can you land your brothers early to cut them out of the rest of the inheritance? counties and most other holdings outside of the de jure lands for your primary title are given a bit more weight in gavelkind, elective gavelkind especially. if halfdan were to give wessex to his second born then that heir would go to the absolute bottom of the list for counties in york, his primary title and petty kingdom. if you're gifting an equal level title and creating an independent realm you can take that particular heir and their kids out your line of inheritance for at least a generation. as you move further down the line the kids can be bought off cheaper, for a few counties in wales or cornwall and they'll be put to the bottom of the list for lands in york as well, leaving them all for your primary heir to receive. if you're expanding you can tailor gavelkind to some degree. next generation all your brothers will be trying to kill you, they'll have armies and claims, they'll marry their cousins just to make the whole thing really weird and it loving rules. then you take their poo poo and do the same thing again.

another thing you can do is build a tribal holding in a county where there are already castles. works really well with conquest cbs. depending on the number of baronies, you'll get 500-1500 zero upkeep troops and no diplo hit. lotta heavy infantry too and substantially better than any of the garbage you'll be fielding for at least a century.
