Hi everyone, this is a Let's play for crusader kings 2
I will play as the count of Parma
and I'll try to conquer the whole Italy
free myself of my liege who is the duchess of tuscany
and possibly even the Emperor
ok then, first thing first.. let see...
ok.. our count is Just, cruel, paranoid, honest..
a very poor warrior
let's start with a marriage, since we have no wife
we search for someone who can give him a heir
This one is lustful, giving a fertility bonus
This one is lustful, giving a fertility bonus
even if she gives me a prestige hit we will build it back real quick
the council is not that great, we have a decent spymaster
the steward is not that good but we don't have anyone better
ok, let's start forging a request...a claim to the throne of venice
we train troops in Parma
collect taxes...still in Parma
research culture.... still in parma
and we study foreing technology of the byzantine empire in Tyana
Since it has pretty advanced culture and economy
the laws..
I want to raise city taxes but before that I want to lower levies so to increase their favor
Before I actually raise their taxes... so
I select the law, it should pass almost instantly
For technologies I choose tactics, Improved Keeps and Legalism
Tactics for the morale, Improved keeps to build castles later and Legalism to increase my demesne that never hurts
If you surpass this number in the demesne your vassals reacts badly.
Intrigue, I choose as an ambition GET MARRIED which is pretty much automatic, it only grants me 10 piety but it always comes in handy
and I go hunting
perfect, I did everything I needed and I'm ready to unpause
