I#m so confused by all the nomad mechanics.
Could somebody give me a few pointers how nomads work ?
Gain land, and distribute it in a way they keeps the clans happy. Most of the time the goal is to go feudal, but if staying nomadic could be interesting. Basically, you just raze and destroy every province you take, leaving nothing but grassland and the endless sky. The mechanics behind it, well nomads really seem to have a few positives. First, they can create large armies, and call upon more troops when at war I believe. You can hold many provinces, and have few vassals. Arguably the best tool at their disposal is the various CBs given, always them to attack anyone. As well as the ability to raze provinces for loot like I previously said. Don't forget you can loot when you aren't at war. Just finished a war with someone, and have a truce? Doesn't stop you from being able to loot border provinces. Or you can loot provinces before declaring war, denying levies from the looted provinces. I believe you can raze temples while looting as well.
Nomads are very basic. Loot, Pillage, Raze, Repeat. The clan dynamic might be the only confusing thing. Basically, you can have so many clans, the number changing depending on how much land you own. If you go over the clan limit, you need to attack one of them and assimilate the lands. If you have too few, you need to give away some of your land and form a new clan. each clan will want the same amount of counties as the others, and you, have. So make sure you distribute your land properly, and stay at your clan limit.
