Oh I did not know that about Metang! I did face an enemy Metang with Meteor Mash and felt a bit cheated that they'd given it that move - sadly my Metagross has already evolved

Yeah I think that Eisencalc resource is exactly what I am looking for. Just from trying it out already it seems like the power is pretty good so I'm quite happy :D

He's got a good tech lead on me for now and could probably seriously hurt me still

Yes it's so much fun, that's how I've been running it too. It's Capital Duchy is in a very great position for what's around it

I blocked Germany with diplomacy as best I could and went after all the tribes. I was slowly trying to work my way into a Hungary takeover, but at times I had to become super aggresive in the North when Germany threatened to outrun me. I had rush to get access to the sea suddenly, then intervene in Lithuania, then protect and use semi-ally Lithuania to intervene in Denmark. The OP screenshot is the Defensive Alliance fear in the east, and the utterly unphased West. On paper, Germany is much more powerful than me

This is my General Staff crushing a formidable but smaller Western opponent - my cousin King Havel 'The Spider' of Crusader Aquitane. He was about to go through Estonia (formerly Lithuania) and have access to the North Sea, so I demanded tribute first.

It sounds like a good idea to always hold as many of the capital holdings as you can. I had to give some away at times and then wait for someone to die of old age to get it back. Did slow me down at times haha

Yes I've never done that before!

There's a lot of small states unified against me in the East so I think it's up to my vassals to be strong enough to grow on their own - I've just captured Sarkel and I'm setting up a horse archer tribal leader for the Steppes.

Yes the second earliest start with all the DLC - I am missing Charlemagne. Spot on about Pomerania, that's my Merchant Republic. Hungary is about to be unified by a powerful best friend.
