If your realm splits on succession you'll get automatic claims so it should be easy enough to reunite through war or subterfuge, and prestige can do everything you need.ĭon't see going feudal as an automatic solution. Tribals seem to have very low retinue caps, but once you start getting big enough and have some military organization tech you should be able to get a couple of the new 'light skirmish' (light infantry and archers) retinues, which will reduce the cost of raiding considerably.īear in mind as tribal you have a bigger-than-normal demense cap so you don't actually need to rush founding a kingdom. Once the viking age hits it will get easier. It is likely that they won't be able to dedicate enough troops to beat you.As others have said, raid and ransom prisoners. For the Byzantine Empire, you want to time your war so that when they are already engaged in two or three other wars, declare war on them. If you need extra bodies you can hire a mercenary company or two. Again, this is for safety, it allows you to "elect" a person to gain most of your titles if you die.Įventually the final regions that you have to get will belong to the Italian Kingdom and Byzantine Empire which are a lot bigger than anything else you've faced.įor the Italians, you should be able to manage with just your troops and your allies. You should be able to get the 9 counties you need to form the Kingdom of Sicily.įorm the Kingdom - this will help if your ruler dies but more importantly unlocks a decision you can take called "Adopt Special Succession Type". Start off by taking the regions that aren't part of a larger kingdom. You can do this easily as Vikings have Casus Belli which allow you to conquer any region. Now you want to work towards conquering some neighbouring duchies. This will give you some special troops and once you win (very easy) you basically move to that region as your new capital. You do this by declaring war on the leader and selecting the Varangain Adventure Casus Belli. The first thing I did was to start a varangian adventure to move to Napoli. Generally aim for allies that have 1000+ armies. Take the maximum amount of Concubines and as you start gaining children, betrothe them to other ruler's children based on "Alliance Power" as you'll need some good allies for future battles. Upon game start, pick the Martial life focus to boost your army effectiveness. We're aiming to do this before the first ruler dies but I've built in some safety decisions in case yours dies. Note that for this achievement you need to own every county in the Sicily Kingdom - not just have the Kingdom title. The description doesn't say it but you need to complete this before the year 1047. In 867 start as Haesteinn who is listed under the Great Adventurers tab when you start a game.
I got this first time and it was fairly comfortable but there's a few tricky things to navigate.
