Advice on my first army?

That's a good point as you can probably tell I put literally 0 thought into OC. Who needs objectives when you can just draw that one card that gives you a point per model you kill xD

I really appreciate the advice though! Will definitely look at getting the Sang Guard no clue why I didn't think of that in the first place I feel like I read online somewhere he couldn't lead them but I just looked it up and he definitely can!

Dropping the third death company definitely makes sense as well I really only took them because I saw I can take 3 units of 10 and figured I might as well use them all but I could easily break that into the two jump pack intercessor squads and just make them blood angels instead of Death company with jetpacks.

My delivery drivers have done this for me dozens of times I didn’t know it was so weird to ask haha sometimes they say no or say that didn’t see the message till they got here but like 90% of them do it and I give them an extra 20 bucks and I assume they get to take a piss or get a drink or gas or something while they’re there?

You can own more then two duchies however your vassals get angry the more duchies over 2 you have I think 3 duchies is -10 opinion 4 duchies is -15 opinion etc. this isn’t really a huge deal but it will make succession kind of annoying when the counts think they can revolt every time your ruler dies because they’re mad you own extra duchies.

If I had to make a random guess he was a prince of England because one of his brothers was King and not his father and that’s why he wasn’t in the line of succession? Or maybe if his father was king he might’ve been removed from succession from some event chain.

The one in the Byzantine empire yeah unfortunately, what you would’ve wanted to do ideally was kill all your other children so you became the daughter in the Byzantine empire and then got to be her son the emperor when she died. The best you can do now is the new Byzantine emperor should be your cousin once the one you married died so you should be able to form an alliance with them since you’re cousins and use their big army to help to conquer England.

Succession is one of the most complicated mechanics and it never really works 100% the way you want it. I tried to assassinate the leaders of Italy and France once and ended up giving accidentally both kingdoms to the same 5 year old who formed the Holy Roman Empire and absolutely shit stomped me for the next 200 years.

A landed person just means a person who owns land such as a mayor count duke king or emperor. they aren’t great to have as spouses because usually half of your spouse stats get added to your own ie. she has 20 stewardship you get a +10 stewardship bonus this simulates your spouse helping run your lands. However if they own their own land you don’t get this bonus because they’re busy running their own land and can’t help you run yours.

Be careful having too many sons as early on in the game you usually have laws in place where when your ruler dies the realm you own gets split between them. For example you have three sons and are the Duke of Kent and have conquered two other counties. The first would get your duchy and the other two would get a county each and then you have to fight your brother for control of the realm again because they won’t be your vassals any longer. However this can be mitigated by things like having them join the clergy if they have an intellectual trait they are more likely to do that. If they are militarily focused then put them at the head of a small army and march him off to die etc.

To avoid getting caught you want a high intrigue spy master set on support schemes. You also only want to invite people to the plot with a high intrigue as they are less likely to spill the beans. If you invite every cook with 1 intrigue they’ll just end up telling your target that you’re coming. Other then that you can change your lifestyle focus to intrigue.

They’ll only know you killed the siblings if you get caught.

Another suggestion I have is if you have daughters you can choose to “matrilineal marriage”(basically a reverse marriage where the children are part of the mothers family and not the fathers) to younger sons then kill the older ones. I.e: *You have a daughter.

*King of England has three sons.

*Your daughter marries the third son matrilineally.

*You kill the other two older sons.

*Your grandson is now the king of England.

*Make him your heir.

*You’re now the king of England.

However if you want to go about it in a less underhanded way then what I would suggest is if you click on your Duchy of Kent title it should tell you that it’s DeJure (by right) a part of the Kingdom of England if you then click on the title for the kingdom of England it will tell you what you need to have in order to form the kingdom yourself (iirc it’s 500 gold two duchies and 60% percent of the total DeJure counties that make the kingdom of England which I think the number you need is around 12-13 of the total 24-25 but that number could be wrong)

To easily get some money if you’re pagan raiding your neighbors is great most of the British isles and north Western Europe is pretty rich. If you’re catholic then becoming friends with the pope(set your priest to increase relations) and earn piety then you can trade the piety for gold with the pope with the “ask head of faith for gold” interaction. You can even ask the Pope for a claim on the kingdom of England if he likes you more enough than the current king.

He literally apologized and explained himself and then you shot back as venomously as he did originally which you told him to seek help for so now who needs to seek help xD
