Germanic Faith Reformating + Keeping Gavelkind

[makaramus]

Hello I had a question: I was gonna make a "ragnarok" game where I gonna start as sigurd(yea easy start I know I know I can get a bloodline if I pick non-viking bloodline start but sadly ragnar tends to die if I dont start with him -_- atleast viking adventurers can get bloodline too if that happens I will marry my daughter to him and grant him land )

I had 2 questions: Should I have religious head or get it myself because I gonna use invasion cb a lot since I will stay at denmark only (never gonna form scandinavia, will hold a kingdom at most) , invade realms and give them to my children. So I dont need religious war cb to conquer kingdoms but also having 2 cbs in lifetime is not bad too and +2 martial is gratned with religious war too. (but all germanics gaining 2 military bonus means huge too!)

should I pick proselyterizing +Haruspicy or warmongering + religious tax?

note:I am welcoming very smiler things that resulting smiler game play but I dont want my vassals/religious members to be peaceful so dont suggest me peaceful doctorine pls :/

by the way wich kingdom should I have? sweden or denmark? I think if I get denmark I will spam cities for galleys or maybe even norway? its little bit poor considered to others but still

How many religions and which you plan to reform? I always specialize different religions for different tasks.

If you plan to reform just 1 religion i would advise to stack bonuses to make your troops and Generals stronger. Aka a wartime religion.

I germanic is the only religion youre gonna reform i would reform with unyielding, haruscripcy, Bloodthirsty gods, autonomous.

Religious tax is kinda redundant as you can convert to Muslim to get the extra taxes, or make your vassals be Muslim.

Prepared Invasions just so you know are pretty much useless by the time you're ready to reform your religion. They're only available to realms of a certain size, so most likely only your vassals would qualify and they're likely to lose and lower your MA.

Proselytizing with Zeal bloodline gives a lot of opportunities to create tributaries.
1. Conquer some land, convert it (it will be converted quickly due to proselytizing), give independence
2. Wait till said country is conquered by heathen(s)
3. Use Religious Liberation CB and acquire tributary kingdom

If you become Fylkir yourself you get a neat hat, but If you plan on only using prepared invasions, it doesn't really matter.

And if you want aggressive vassals, you should definetly pick warmongering. As for the doctrine I think relentless or sacrficies would be fitting. If you are hunting for bloodlines you should consiger human sacrifices since that can grant you one if you party long and hard enough.

Warmongering, Sons of Ragnarok, Religious Tax are good. That will keep everyone fighting. As for leadership, since you want lots of kingdoms with your religion, you might even consider Autonomous. You lose Great Holy Wars, but since you keep Prepared Invasions that's not so bad. Also, everyone of your religion gets a Martial bonus for free.

If you need more CBs, Bloodthirsty Gods will get you the Flower War CB.
