I never wanted to become emperor myself, but ended up putting either my family members or other strong members of the HRE to try keeping it together. My main rival, Bohemia, was always trying to put their candidates on the throne, or breaking free. Great fun, I really felt the rivalries between me and Bohemia.

this is essentially how ive been playing the game since day one. make sure my own holdings are stronger than the rest of the empire combined. Eventually I just spread it out to encompass holy sites and other special buildings and then you can literally just paint the map forever and nobody will ever stop you unless you fuck up your succession.
@mattgopack7395
2 жыл бұрын
This is definitely a fun way to play - though personally, my favorite tall method with a bunch of holdings is to try to stack them into a few counties (makes succession a lot easier/stress free). Then you can stack some big bonuses depending on the men-at-arms or the counties you have. Eg, taking both London and Paris and building a bunch of castle baronies there can let you really make heavy cav maa extremely powerful - and in a scenario where you end up dying a bit early/losing territories because of succession, you just have to take one county back.

Do you not use the special interest tab to mass upgrade? I don't know what the official name is, but right below the domain limit is a tiny circle with a scroll.

A few points. For faster cultural acceptance, land vassals of that culture, especially in that culture but also just in other counties, border the culture and so on. Landing your own culture in their lands can help, if the AI decides to try and increase acceptance but unless they're independent it's a very small amount. The Kushite religion has two holy sites that grant stewardship for devotion: that makes them the best for max stewardship runs, I think. (there may be some eastern ones that can grab one from a holy site and the building, not sure) There are two guaranteed +1 domain artifacts; one held by the Byzantines and the other by the Scottish. Stealing them is a must, especially as Scotland often gets eaten by the Norse. Finally, you could have converted to a pacifist religion for a further plus one.
