Not hard to beat the Seljuks. You will probably learn a lot about how war is conducted straight away.Even if you do lose the war, it's not hard to retake the land. Free duchy revoke and excommunication+free imprisonment means that you can pretty much go authoritarian on your vassals.
I would not be opposed to allow more raiding against your own religion, but I would definitely want a bigger malus for the raider, like heavy attrition in provinces without lootable goods and a morale penalty.
They're Norse Norse in Ireland.867 is newbie island, if you start as irish norse.
The patch is adding an actual tutorial, isn't it? Maybe it'll be a giant map of Ireland.
Do you recall which thread that was? And did this info come from a dev? I've seen a lot of conflicting claims about whether or not Ireland is going to be tribal.
The information so far (from Johan, the lead dev) is that Ireland and Scotland will both be Catholic / tribal in the new scenario, and Scotland will be tribal in the 867 scenario, but not Ireland. They will both be feudal from 1066 onwards.
There has been some debate as to why Ireland should be feudal in 867, but not Scotland. My personal opinion is that both should probably be feudal until 1066 (and you could argue for them being tribal then, but for gameplay reasons I wouldn't advocate that).
Wouldn't it still be tutorial island? Just will be the same thing except NOW you get to learn tribal mechanics, and possibly learn republican or feudal mechanics too!
