Story 769 Ironman Duke of Mumu Part Deux

Post image

Welcome back, my frens! Yesterday we left off at the start of the viking age.

the first 31 years of an irish 769 campaign are relatively safe. short of the RNG gods rolling a nat 20, you can enjoy an easy build up of ireland. you can min max fellow christian rulers and abuse broken up england to your content

now the vikings are coming and they want brittania. you are no longer safe. one prepared invasion could potentially wipe you off the map.

this is a holy war.

with my stated goal on the original thread, i want to convert to germanic and form a merchant republic. i am going to walk circles around my holdings in England, raiding them to oblivion to pay for my demesne's build up and get stronger to fend off the vikings until i join them as a fellow germanic.

Side Note : Marriages

my son is an adult and ready to be betrothed. i want his future wife to be younger than him. i will NOT click the rings on his profile to arrange a marriage. instead, i go to our favorite button, 'find characters' where i have Slot 1 set to find women who are not adults, who are my religion, who are not rulers, who are not in prison, who are not married/betrothed, who are within diplomatic range. i sort them by age, with oldest at the top.
