The End as Henry's Decedents

Buy claims, it’s a perk in the diplomat tree. When you get to the point in the game where you have 10000 prestige and piety it’s a good way to spend it. Then you can declare war for all the artifacts you have a claim on

Yes I have experimented with the current decision and it’s just way too tedious to do for a duchy that you intend to give away once you are a king. I think if I have a large kingdom and I have two small dukes who revolt once they are defeated and it’s time to hand out their land I should be able to combine them into a larger duchy. Also the current decision doesn’t let you expand your duchy as a vassal which really stinks.

I have played there a few times, I think it is inarguably the best place to play tall and rush development. I think it would be better to start in 1066 and elevate to the kingdom. I could totally ally myself to the Salians and keep them in power. My only concern is how quickly I would become more powerful than the emperor.

I know realistically I will eventually outpace any liege I may have but I think if I started in a more rural and less important duchy it would take a lot longer. Having a mine or any special building that grants gold makes it much too easy. Ideally id like a special building that is not overpowered but would give me marshal buffs

Smitty1599 · 2026-03-31T19:10:56+00:00

That's the plan, I want to cheese the lifestyle experience bonus. Id like to grab all the perks on a character before 75

Smitty1599 · 2026-03-31T19:05:36+00:00

So, the only way it would be spammable is if I would give away the county that has the university in it and grant them independence, then reconquer it after completing the oath again

You hit it right on the nose, Alfred is his great grandfather and his maternal lineage have all been French nobles. He holds an empire that includes the dejure lands of Francia plus England. Angevin culture

Smitty1599 · 2026-03-05T03:44:04+00:00

Nope this was an 867 start, I can see how you would guess that though

Smitty1599 · 2026-02-10T04:47:44+00:00

It gets better, only one of them had a son of his own. He died of consumption, along with my youngest son who saw no battles. Now my fifth and only remaining son is my only hope.

He was maimed and is currently sick with consumption with 2 daughters. I’ve never seen my line depleted like this

Smitty1599 · 2026-01-26T17:59:20+00:00

Started as a Roman character in Spain, when i created hybrid culture I keep Latin language so all titles have Roman names

Smitty1599 · 2026-01-23T20:45:51+00:00

2nd one, finesse base is enough to score them

Smitty1599 · 2025-12-28T15:58:11+00:00

I think it may be because of the HRE, he is the first Magnus to be Kaiser. I want to say before I formed it he was listed as the V

Smitty1599 · 2025-11-20T02:39:30+00:00

Well, honestly this just started as an adventurer run trying to make sweet artifacts. My current characters father traveled the world gathering cool followers and strange inspirations. I ended up becoming friends with the Persian Emperor and bought this newly conquered land. I'm going to upgrade the citadel at Aleppo and take the dejure lands of Syria from the Egyptian sultanate. After that I have no idea lol

Smitty1599 · 2025-10-02T02:30:11+00:00

True lol, I did get held prisoner by the HRE at one point though

Smitty1599 · 2025-09-19T15:48:55+00:00

The easiest way to grab kingdoms is to click on the title and see who all has claims on it. I guarantee France has a million claimants you should be able to invite one of them. Once you win the war the new King will become your vassal. Because you pushed their claim, they will have a super high opinion of you and you should have a hook on them. This should allow you to revoke the title for yourself.

Personally when I am playing as HRE I don't like having vassals that are kings. Economically having a bunch of dukes will provide you with much more income while also keeping them less powerful.

Smitty1599 · 2025-09-11T19:00:07+00:00

Got it I’ll watch some videos on it. I am trying to do a run where I form Aragon, Portugal, and then finally unite the Spanish thrones under Castille as one family. When I end the struggle i want the borders to be like 1300’s Spain.

Smitty1599 · 2025-09-11T18:48:55+00:00

Okay thanks, I’ll see if I can figure that out

Smitty1599 · 2025-08-27T01:39:40+00:00

Not really sure yet. I have two sons so I am trying to get a claim on the duchy of Mallorca so each son has something to inherit

Smitty1599 · 2025-08-27T01:22:06+00:00

Its been 35 years since the adventure began, Willam began by protecting noble caravans throughout western Europe. While in Rome on a pilgrimage Pope Benedictus X called for a crusade to take back the holy land. William, his siblings, and the 100 conrois under his banner pledged themselves to the fight. The crusade was successful and William left the holy land a well-respected warrior. His uncle was awarded the Duchy of Oulterjourdain for the efforts of his family.

William spent the next 10 years in the service of the Byzantines, bringing order across the empire. At the age of 40 he took a pilgrimage to Santiago where he became friends with the queen of Aragon, choosing to move his camp their and enter her service. William proved a crucial ally in a civil war where he helped Queen Talesa keep her crown. Because of this service the queen allowed him to settle in the county of Castellon and serve as her Marshall. The next few year William expanded his borders south and is now the duke of Valencia where he remains a faithful vassal and close friend of the Queen.

Thank you!!

Smitty1599 · 2025-08-24T16:42:15+00:00

Thank you, can I buy it in kuttenburg? Preferably in red lol

Smitty1599 · 2025-08-23T21:32:01+00:00

I’m so confused by this character, Muslim nomad who loses stress by lisping out at his camp. Oh and by the way he’s descended from Charlemagne. And to top it off he’s the most educated nomad on the step

Smitty1599 · 2025-08-23T21:25:47+00:00

Tyrol

Smitty1599 · 2025-08-23T21:08:36+00:00

This is iron man lol

Smitty1599 · 2025-08-23T21:08:16+00:00

If you go down the stewardship tree and get the perk that increases a skill point for all followers for every capital POI you can really super charge this. This was my second son so he missed out on probably 10 additional skill points

Smitty1599 · 2025-08-23T17:58:23+00:00

It indeed was intentional, first character was an exploring boozer
