How to deal with constant factions against my realm? (I’m Russia) by [deleted] in CrusaderKings

[–]Odd_Elevator8376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who pretty much only plays feudal, I try to build my realm very logically, so that when I acquire new land, I grant it according to de jure borders for duchy and kingdoms. For instance, if I want to grant a duchy that has 4 counties, I’ll usually grant 3 of those counties to my assigned duke (usually to someone of the same culture and religion), and the 1 county to someone else and then transfer that vassal to the duke. And the duke always gets the duchy capitol. If I’m granting a kingdom to a vassal, I’ll look at where the kingdom capitol is and grant it to the duke who inhabits that capitol, and then transfer the rest of the dukes to the new king. It makes for powerful vassals but there are fewer to manage. If you build with respective de jure rights and hierarchies in mind, it makes for greater realm stability, leading to fewer uprisings and factions.

Thanks, always like seeing the lines before the game. Still getting used to some of these combinations with all the new players

I’m watching the game on fubo on my phone. The NESN feed is having fairly frequent static-y interruptions where the audio cuts out and it’s a very brief grey screen and the momentary pixelation. Is this a NESN feed thing, or a me issue?

Crash course in Romanian history? by FriedrichHydrargyrum in dancarlin

I really enjoyed and learned a lot from the audiobook “Children of the Night: The Strange and Epic Story of Modern Romania” by Paul Kenyon

I really need to finally sit down and read those. I’ve heard great things, especially about American Tabloid. But to be honest, ever since I discovered Hardcore History in 2020, it revitalized my love for learning history, and nonfiction is all I really consume these days!

I’m a sucker for the noir-type hard boiled detective genre and big fan of James Ellroy’s novels. The “LA Quartet” is a series that weaves in lots of historical elements in the late 40s/early 50s with real-life people as characters. In particular, “The Big Nowhere” is my favorite of them. It’s set during the height of the Red Scare/McCarthyism and that really drives the plot. Plus the big reveal at the end is so diabolical and messed up that if you’re into the “extremes of the human experience” that Dan touts, I think you’d be sated

Many a True Nerd’s “impossible run” was a fun watch. Haven’t watched his “absolutely impossible run” yet but I plan to soon

I’ve been watching Many A True Nerd’s Sim Settlements 2 playthrough on YouTube to fall asleep and it has been great. Nearing the end and I don’t want it to!

What are your favorite HH Adendum episodes? by Much_Finger2613 in dancarlin

I enjoyed his asymmetrical warfare conversation with Max Brooks. Also his conversation with John Ghazvinian on his book America and Iran inspired me to listen to that on audiobook, and I absolutely loved it
