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....
 
You'd be surprised how stable the Indian empires/kingdoms were in real life, only the Mongols really made it change.
 
Not having the holy war CB was pretty annoying for a while, since I started in the Eastern coast. I've been exploiting claimants and inheritance more to try and make up for it. I found a guy with three strong claims on whatever the big red kingdom is, so I pressed one for him (mercs ahoy!) and betrothed my heir to his daughter. Now my heir can inherit all that land, I can subjugate another kingdom later and maybe press some weak claims.
