Hello all,
Just some basic info, I just bought this game on steam sale. I got the $40 version with a bunch of expansion packs. Now...I played the walkthrough and got decimated later on due to succession issues. I read some quick guides and it suggested playing as Ireland for a first play.
I started in 1066 and went to Dublin, Ireland to start. What struck me as odd is that none of Ireland showed up as Dutchies like they did in an online video I saw someone else make. I ended up getting granted the land mass (I want to call it a county, but I'm not sure that's the right term directly to the South of Dublin which borders wales and can be walked across due to a succession.
Someone immediately declared war, which I won, and I took their land holdings somewhere not on Ireland, no idea where. Now my demanse was 3/2. I used the extra troops I could muster to conquer the land mass directly to my left, and then my demanse was 4/2. I could not create any titles at this point, and checked the dejure dutchies to see if the problem had fixed itself, it had not. I promptly gave away the two new land masses I had to my vasals. To my surprise, I was not their liege lord!
Can someone please explain to me how I am supposed to takeover and maintain land masses when trying to conquer Ireland? Pleas understand I only have about 10 hours of experience with this game, and don't want to give it up, but all the guides I try to read are so non-noob friendly, and videos I watch on youtube don't seem to apply to the current patch and or DLC I have activated.
