Also, what's the best way to prevent 2 province de jure duchies from becoming real duchies? Dukes are becoming such a pain in my Aragon game... I conquered/created Ireland/Scotland/Norway/Finland/Egypt in one of my games and yea it is a real pain the butt because everytime your king dies there is a large chance of a revolt. Personally I prefer to just imprisoning my lords of Duke rank as soon as they commit something treasonous. And the further the Duke is the lower the laws are in that country up to a point. So Finland and Egypt I had either low or medium authority during the game whereas in Scotland and Ireland I had high. But ultimately, as long as you hold onto the King title you can let them become independent for 10 years or so and just re-conquer the most powerful/furthest away. Actually having a widely spread Empire is the most annoying in terms of revolts because each rebel can get an auto-win if you dont re-conquer them fast enough. Which is awful as it lowers your state authority no matter what -- across all of your kingdom titles! | ||

They'll have a claim of course, but if all they command is a few hundred troops it doesn't seem like they'll be able to do much in a succession war. In fact one of them already is a bishop... I guess I don't understand what succession rule I need to personally select my heir, instead of having it default to the firstborn getting the king title. | ||

For me the broken empires mod saved it. The one thing I liked the least was how they made empires and kingdoms. When you're playing inside an empire, it's really really really fucking annoying as you constantly have to switch map views to know where the fuck you are. Hot tip is to get rid of all that shit and play without empires and kings from scratch and see in what direction it goes. | ||

 . Oh well, it seems pretty cool. I'm trying to learn the interface and whatnot as King of Poland, we'll see how this goes. Might have to wait a year or two until I upgrade to a new pc to really play this. ...sigh... | ||

The link Ramong posted shows the numerical difference which should tell you in what way each units excels, but in actual game play, it almost always come down to pure numbers. I can count the number of battles that didn't go to the larger army on one hand. | ||

Defending in a mountain adds a lot to your chances and attacking an enemy who are in mountains will hurt a lot. | ||

After having 3 kids my 1st wife died so, of course, I remarried. My 2nd son, and heir, came of age around the same time so I betrothed him to best girl I could find to get them started early on the babymaking. Well, I guess he was in even more of hurry than I was, because he decided to get busy with my new wife. A son was born and quickly denounced. I'm just left at 0_0 since my wife is now a step mom and step grandma to the same kid. Well, a few years go by and the normal adultery message comes up. Usually I would say no, but a smile crept on my face when I realized it was my daughter-in-law, my heir's wife. So of course I got revenge on that motherfucker and screwed the brains out of her(I'm 57 LOL!). And of course she got pregnant and had a son. So now we both have bastard sons from each other's wives, and even funnier is that we don't even have opinion modifiers against each other  | ||
