44 now. As you can see, the mongols just spawned. Oy vey!

Lucky you! There wouldn't be much else to do otherwise
If you transfer some vassals and spawn your vassal-kingdom levies right were they are they won't stand any chance.

Figured that. 76k of my levies popped right on top of a 60k mongol stack.

Result. (weird, I got -170% war score when I tried that first. Now I just got -20%).

Not to question the tactics involved, but how do you form Britannia that fast!? Does it require Scotland to be broken apart or is it just a lot of abuse of how fractured Ireland is?

Even I was quite surprised at how quickly Britannia formed. I started out as Godwin England with a longterm plan of forming Britannia. Heresy sprang up quickly in York and my chaplain convinced me to convert. I remembered what you said about heresy so I saved and decided to go for broke. I Holy Warred everything I could. I had a holy war going for almost every county of ireland at the same time. Although I was involved in a war of scottish succession at the time. This same war was still going on when I formed Britannia, it would just never end! I had intended to inherit through marriage but now I was allied to some one claiming the throne in some endless war. All I could do was eat up lothian and gallway and the isle of man who had become independent. France did help me out when York rebelled and their troops linked up with a cheap merc army I had to hire. They had joined to help me against York but I noticed their troops would participate in every holy war I'd declare after that since they were linked. Basically, by not ending the war with York, I had their army hostage doing my bidding. Is this supposed to be WAD? Either way, now that I knew about it, I took advantage of it and took ireland, wales and the parts of scotland that were available and they were enough to form britannia.

I learned a few new tricks in that game. That linked army thing sure seems like it would be a killer tactic if you ally the HRE. I had them allied at first but i killed the celibate salian early on before converting since all I wanted was their troops to oust the norwegian invaders.


@lessing

dayum, pre-mongol invasion wc, now that's pretty awesome. Maybe you can get those additional mongol titles too. I wonder how high your dynasty prestige would be by end game...

JonStryker said:

You shouldn't actually spawn on top of them. Lure the stack somewhere with a small bait-stack. Defend with a big stack and then spawn the rest and attack from all sides. You'll lose many man but eventually win.

Hm I just managed to break a 40k stack that way. The others merged into a 112k stack tho. Dayum.

Empire of Francia, 31 may 1088

So how do you juggle all those empire titles especially with born in purple gumming up the works at times? Is there a neat trick to it? I always seem to have problems with it.

It's a problem now that I hold no land in several empires. Assassinating the guys with the highest votes works until my heir is no 1. Switching back from elective to primo seems a no-go now... vassals are fighting all the time.

6 empires now./

I'm trying to get my hands on the mongol empire titles, but that's a pita.

randomly found this guy when looking though the list



... learning at 26 ... higher than the listed max around here, got a base of 11, before traits



This was i was actually attempting to ... Hispania created 16'th October 1083 ... starting out with Navarra (married all the big guys (france, HRE (one of his celibate sisters), Denmark, Normandy, ERE, Norway, Scotland, Sicily) and bribed them (if needed) to support mass holy warring ... invited claiments to Barcelona and portucale, pushing their claims, fabricated a claim on Aragon, and pushed the de jure claim on Viscaya)

Damn it, someone managed a 78 year reign? I have proof of at least three 77 year reigns.

I think I have an 83 year reign from my Frisia game, I'll have to check the save. That old bastard outlived most of his grandchildren, let alone his children.

HRE never honored my alliance as well ... first they was busy with a civil war and then he died, flipping the crown to someone without any marriable family member ... If they honored and helped, i'd guess the end date could be cut a year or 2

Much was done by leaning on Normandy's starting stack (after they won England) and support (bribed) from ERE ... both came with 8k stacks which went from one territory to another assaulting.

And yes ... i believe both Aragon, Navarra and Barcelona is better for quick conquest, since they can play the marriage game with siblings/children ... neither of Galicia/Leon/Castille can (but then again ... they need relatively less land if they manage to inherit their brothers)

For stats records do vassals and courtiers count? Or would it be a different catagory?

I think you can qlso set him for the "most former wives" record.

@Lwantssugar
Currently only such are listed which are achieved by the player character

Damn, because one of my vassals courtiers was the reincarnation of Alexander
