So in demo i tried 6 times to survive as ethiopia. Every one of those attempts failed. Any good suggestions for release?
You mean Nubia? Yeah I've died within 1½ years pretty much every time. One suggestion I've read was to marry the daughter of the Kaiser - and when the Caliphate DOW the HRE will step in and ease the pressure on you. Haven't tried it though...So in demo i tried 6 times to survive as ethiopia. Every one of those attempts failed. Any good suggestions for release?
There's a problem however if you want to play as Nubia. They are a (titular) kingdom and can't swear fealty. And then they die.Start as the middle state, the duchy.
Yeah, Nubia is doomed. No way around that.There's a problem however if you want to play as Nubia. They are a (titular) kingdom and can't swear fealty. And then they die.
Seems a bit gamey to me -- what's Nubia start with in terms of unmarried dynasty members? You might be able to drag in a few allies with quick marriages.
Nubia, being a kingdom, can't swear fealty to anyone. If they could, they could swear fealty to the Caliph and survive the same way as Axum.Could you try swearing fealty to a mega power like one of the Roman Emperors and hope that the Shia Caliph is too intimidated to touch you, maybe?
Dunno. But they can't.why cant they swear fealty to the caliphates or the empires?

I am speaking from direct experience. Kings can be vassals of emperors if they begin as a vassal duchy and form a kingdom without declaring independence, but kingdoms cannot swear fealty. Try it yourself.Uh, are you sure kings can't swear fealty to emperors? I know for a fact kings can be the vassals of emperors.

Not against the Caliphate, and they'll declare war on you within 2 years.Is it not possible through terms of wars to relinquish the title of King, being given title of count and then building up on that a treacherous comeback?
The only way I have been able to survive as Nubia is to give your son the southern county which the Caliphate has no claim on. Then you just sit and wait for your doom as Kingdom of Nubia and then you will play as your son, the count. Now that you are count you can pledge alliance to anyone, like the Byzantine Empire perhaps. But be warned, you will be the count of a low income province and I got bored pretty quick.Is it not possible through terms of wars to relinquish the title of King, being given title of count and then building up on that a treacherous comeback?
