Often is, yeah.

The best place to learn the game is prob Ireland since it's all broken into tiny little one-province territories you can forge claims on, create duchies over, and then turn into a Kingdom in probably 1-2 rulers' lifetime. Irish culture also has an absolutely bitchin Heir nomination system called Tanistry which is a more secure kind of elective monarchy.

Only thing to definitely 100% not do is marry anyone to any family member of the English and Scottish royal houses, because they love to wage war on you if you give them a claim on the territory. Your Italians and Hungarians and so on are probably the best candidates for marriage.

I've found the French to make good marriage targets too. Far enough away that they won't try poo poo on you, close enough to give the English/Scots a hard time if they attack you.

Last game, I united all of Ireland and Wales, and also inherited a single province in Brittany for some reason. Then the English attacked, some relative decided to try to take over united Ireland, and long story short I lost everything but that Breton rump-state.

I constantly got my poo poo hosed up in Ireland because of Scotland and Britain

Spain was the easiest starting grounds in my experience, you take the northwest tip and you've got a bunch of border states/mountains between you and france and the other christians will bail you out against muslims

The best spots to start depend on start date too. Ireland is good until the vikings come - then you get your poo poo hosed up pretty bad if you haven't consolidated your rule. I still contend that Ireland is the easiest start place though, but you gotta civilize at some point which can be tough

Important note: this is only 1066 Ireland, if you have the earlier start date DLCs and try this as one of them you will get brutalized by Vikings for centuries.

first we divorce our wife



and we marry morgana because shes a super hot genius and owns really hard

also look at our heir holy poo poo lol



he's strong and a genius, like his satan dad which is awesome

certain traits are "congential" traits, meaning they have a chance of being inherited by kids. genius characters are more likely to have genius/quick kids, and less likely to have slow/imbecile kids, and so on. Same with strong/weak.

This owns and we have a line of ubermensch for now!

well look at that

One of Gobias Industries' grandkids, son of Legoman, somehow rallied together a bunch of counter-revolutionary Germanic holdouts and take over the Kingdom of Denmark through the Kingdom's elections.

We now stand with our primary opponent in Scandinavia being none other than a fellow Baloogan - one who has rejected feminism.

good news and bad news

bad news first:



all our kids, except Prince Octopus are dead. Poor prince Zakkro was killed by a dumb vassal, Prince Legoman died of pneumonia, and Andrei Dorkovsky died of "mysterious circumstances".


good news:



we changed our succession laws, we now have promigeniture succession! this means our oldest son gets all our titles, which saves us a lot of trouble in the future



also we have finished conquering much of sweden - shortly, we will become King of Sweden and Norway. You can see though that Denmark controls the rest of Scandinavia, and they are stronger than us :(



our heir, Prince Octopus, in addition to being possessed by satan (not my doing) and suffering from gout, is a lunatic

and you know what lunatics do?

they make horses.

also we are gay again
