I'm the Duke of Munster, and my personal quest is to become King of Ireland! The Duke of Leinester and the Duke of Connacht, (both my immediate neighbors and rivals) just went to war, and are quite busy killing each other. Their armies are weak, and I could probably conquer them both right now if I just had a casus belli. Any way to rush one aside from saving up gold to usurp a title? edit: Ack! Just as I write this post my claims go through and I declare war on Leinester and invade him. However, Connacht is being sieged by Leinester, and has lost all his armies. Leinester's last remaining and only army is busy in Connacht. I rush Leinester's capital with a detachment, but I'm not quire sure where to send the bulk of my army. I can send everything to Leinester and take his lands quickly, or I can send them to Connacht and save his cities. Will I get any benefit from that? I mean, he's gonna die if I don't do anything, but there's no diplo option of any sort for "let's unite against common foe" or "imma come save ur butt and we'll be friends then kk?" or anything like that T_T;; Is it worth the effort to assist this guy? Or should I just hit Leinester as hard as I can right now? | ||

How to win: Sneak your way into the HRE by means of inheiritence. Vote yourself for emporer, assassinate everyone ahead of you then emporer. Done this 2 of my games and it just kills the playablility of it ._. | ||

Or should I just hit Leinester as hard as I can right now? It's usually best to keep some army at home as I've found that if I keep my whole army in one bunch, the enemy always sends his 200ish guys to siege my home province and with one army vs one army it'll always be cat-and-mouse like that. I don't think you have anything to gain from helping out Connacht though, at least in the sense of them taking any notice of it at all and becoming your buddies. Edit: my question: Occasionally there will be a green fog... thing floating above my cities. Kind of poison-colored. Not very pleasant looking at all. But I haven't noticed it has any actual effect. What is it? | ||

But I haven't noticed it has any actual effect. What is it? I'm fairly certain thats a disease and if you click on the city and look around the info (I think it's above the techonlogy box) there should be an icon which says what disease it is. AFAIK this makes it more likely for people in the court of that area to contract that disease. It's usually small pox or typhoid. | ||

Because I'm having enough trouble inheriting anything without having no idea who's next in line t_t If you hover over a title shield/crest and wait for a second or two, the tooltip box will display the top 3 in the line. Not sure if there's a way to see past that though. | ||

It's kinda the biggest problem with all Paradox games - confusing interface where you can't even tell what is a button and what isn't and there's no visual consistency and organization makes their games look a lot more complex than they are. | ||

He likes me and HIS 2 vassals like me, however his 2 vassals hate HIM and won't give him (and thus me) any money at all. Can it be fixed? Yeah I was wondering the exact same thing, just conquered Ulster for the glory of .. Ulster, and all sub-vassals hate the Earl =/ Edit: Also, is there a "request ransom" button, as my wife has been imprisoned by her liege for like the past 5 years =/ | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FPqxM.png) This crazy kid is single handedly going to destroy my plan of becoming the King of Ireland  Or worse... HE might become the King of Ireland. Unless his hyperambitious son who hates both our guts kills him first and I have to make him become the King of Ireland. Happy days. | ||
