I was playing a game as Wales a while back before The Republic DLC came out. My goal was to conquer England and Brittany so my constant incursions prevented England from getting involved in Ireland. Once I accomplished my task I turned around to find that Munster was a republic and they had taken the whole island. It seemed like a really cool idea to play as a medieval Most Serene Republic of Ireland, but of course the save is from before the Republic DLC so I can't just jump into Munster on that one. The republican mechanics are still a little new to me so I was wondering if anyone had ideas on how I might start in Ireland and become a republic.
