Hi there. Now, this might just be me, but having started my first RoI game as the most southern (west side) duke in the old gods start, I have found the game to be very slow compared to playing in Europe or the middle east. My only expansion options are claim wars or the subjugation CB. That would be fine, but I need 500 karma for the latter, which takes a lifetime to get... I mean, I get about 1 karma per month, so 12 a year, so it takes forty three years of waiting to declare war! OK, Diwali helps slightly, in that it gives 30 karma every few years, but that is literally the only way to get karma other than waiting....
