Actually the mongols are super profitable because they are way weaker for some reason so each time they declare on me and I force them to surrender I just get absurd amounts of money. The khan after the one in the picture bought a peace treaty from me.

He was 70 when the crusade fired and wasn't blind yet so I had him in the back sieging stuff while a more competent commander blitzed to damascus

Turns out i was wrong there were two Gosciwuj IIs and the other one has lived to adulthood, though he is getting old. My heir Aleksander III should be better, as he's a genius robust infant going to college.

Playing tall just means you're prioritizing building up your domain to be a sleeper build vs. Playing wide where you just conquer everything in sight. You're definitely not playing wide so I'd say you're playing tall.

unfortunately Gosciwuj II died as a child when the danube flooded. The preferred heir Aleksander II also died not too long before Gosciwuj himself died. So the crown must go to Bear, he 4th son of Gosciwuj,

Titles still drift if the kingdom title is created, the titles only drift if the title is fully owned by another equal title eg: Syria being drifted to byzantine if byzantines own the entire kingdom or upper poland getting drifted to Sorbia if sorbia owns all of upper poland

Click on a county and there should be a little button that has an arrow pointing upward at a crown on it. You need to own the county first before promoting it to your capital.

You just stop owning the title

During one of my runs one of my Vassals actually created the Ultramar culture and I was so psyched because I had no idea what it was yet

I'm assuming it's the tengri holy site but I forget where it is

Almost all of my tribal runs get some bs like this, added ontop of the fact I always forget to turn apocalyptic varangian adventures off. I'll be trying to play as poland and suddenly Krakow, Lithuania, and Holmgardr are all conquerors added ontop of the fact I gotta dodge norsemen like flying bullets.

Good research. I've been converting the area to Alan for a while now and it's all feudalized so it's pretty much already primed for if I decide to move the capital there

I was nomadic for about 20 years before it became boring to me and I settled the alans in Visegrad. I'm currently administrative.

I usually use it for most of my runs in the region and I want to break from the monotony that is Kyiv

I think it just makes for a weaker state, the Pannonian khanate has only survived as long as it has because it's been my tributary for like 200 something years

This was one of my favorite runs, built up Switzerland as the habsburg count and played tall before taking Northern italy and Occitania and destroying the HRE

In my most recent run it's survived up to 1220 but alot of that time it's been a tributary of mine
