Hey just wanted to tell that I've been doing let's play Crusader Kings videos to youtube (series is in break at the moment tho). So I'd be happy if you guys would watch them and comment. There's 12 parts at the moment.
Part 1
Part 1
Playing with the very easy setting is not cool. I guess. The game will soon get boring, it is only fine if you are a newbie. However you may change the settings at any moment if you wish.
From my opinion, the game is already very easy on normal.
Than I will play until 1399 and convert my game to EU3,
I see well I guess I should try that
EU3?! EU2 is the real deal if you ask me.
Sure - but FtG is the better EU2 ^^
No comments
EDIT: But when is good time to start play paradox games in general with normal/normal?
When you have read the manual and completed the tuturial. ^^
I don't think so. I tried HoI2 dd arma with norm/norm. I played with Germany and managed to defeat Poland in september. But got my butt kicked by France.
In that case you should search for aid in the HoI 2 subforum ^^

How does it come that you don´t have any HoI 2 icon in below your avatar?
Since they don't have cd keys
Some do. Look at the nuke in my icon list ^^
Is it possible to find a title somewhere in the world? I captured Granada but I can't create an appropriate ducal title for this province (I definitely captured all of the 3 territories that consists Granada).
Thought I found how can I find province, it's \ button, but I doesn't work for a titles.
Thank you so much! It is appeared that my vassal (emir of Mallorca) was also an emir of Granada. So I just revoked his title and voila! By the way. how can somebody win playing on hard difficulty with agressive AI? The AI is really rampaging everywhere and it very difficult to score it up. The Germany is the main issue. It is huge (though the demesne is only 6 provinces) and it is already 1100 year. My Kingdom of Sicily is the most of the Southern Italy, Marocco, Canarians and Granada and Djerba in Tripolitania. What can I do? They may attack me at some moment and they have larger forces than I have.
Keep your reputation low. Become the Papal controller and excommunicate the emperor - that should give him enough internal strife to prevent any largescale war against you.
Buy peace by giving away some border provinces if the empire actually attacks in your direction and conquer them back later when you can achieve it.
If you haven´t done so try to conquer some of the RICH provinces (e.g. Genua, Venice) that have immense manpower and can field huge armies that you can use against your enemy.
Always try to have an ally.
If you can´t win on the battlefield try to have an intrigue value ( yours + your spymasters ) higher than your enemies and assasinate him - with some luck his heir will inherit a civil war
Nibble away at his borders while he is occupied with some other war.
My king Enzio was a papal controller twice but it was impossible to excommunicate a german king, 'cause he is having a lot of prestige and the Pope is old and with a low prestige.
That is what I already did. Venice attacked me and I had to gave away some of my provinces in Southern Italy and now I don't know how to return them back, 'cause the Venice now is a vassal of Empire and the emperor immediately declares war on me when I declaring war on Venice. Btw does the Ai not trying to protect his vassals when he is see that he is meager than the actual assailant of it's vassal?
I can capture the Alexandria and some other provinces in Egypt. Hopefully that will help me to muster a greater host against Emperor of the evil and fake Empire of Romans.
I thougt about it but he is having a larger intrigue value then I do. He is pretty young and now HE IS the papal controller. :laugh:
