County improvements and how to go about it.

[tanathos]

I'm just curious : how does anyone go about building up their counties? For my part, I simply try to prioritize the buildings that provide tax income before focusing almost solely on those providing heavy infantry and cavalry. The castle dungeon line of buildings also becomes quite powerful with the % increase of levy.

Does anyone build anything in particular in cities or bishopric (other than the obvious monastic school)?

Early game I try to get my tax revenue up, and later on I'm usually looking for more troops. The only thing I build in vassal cities and bishoprics is the prerequisites to get monastic then cathedral schools and the universities. On one occasion I did build a harbor in a city because I needed a couple more ships.

I figure that early on it's much more rewarding to work on getting control of your ducal realm's baronies than building stables and guard quarter at any rate.
