Your guy isn't married so let's get that started. You have a bit of cash but if you want more the first thing you need to do is start conquering or raiding.

When beginning as the Ylving you can see that you have 4 provinces and you can field around levies. So the advantages of the Norse in are as follows. Often dirty.So you've decided to play as the Norse for the Old Gods expansion. Ama-gi The Sumerian word ama-gi, currently believed to be the first human rendition of the concept of freedom. Once you survive the initial onslaught, you can also expect to be incessantly raided by the neighboring pagans, which is mostly a nuisance but can actually be very costly if your levies are busy elsewhere. With enough money to hire a proper stack of mercenaries, plus a little luck, this can be done. Even previously marginal tribal rulers are suddenly dangerous, because they can convert prestige into stacks of troops and you can't, plus unless you have exceptionally high military organization, you're going to suffer horrible attrition in their territory! We had to fight off not just Norse and Lithuanian invaders, but also at least one rebellion and several invasions by minor tribal rulers to the southeast. If you pick the right time and prepare properly, you too can succesfully feudalize your realm! In my case, we made it and didn't even lose any territory! Luckily, as you feudalize, so will many of your vassals, which means factions aren't immediately murderously dangerous.īut basically everybody near you who isn't in a non-aggression pact will pretty much invade at some point. Yehabesha wesibīecause they can make use of the county conquest casus belli to expand, pagan rulers will find it easier to install members of their dynasty throughout the realm, which makes for slightly! Also, raiding is a great way to produce money. What you need is basically money, more or less pacific vassals and money.

If there's a unified aggressive realm next to you, a badly timed decision to feudalize can well mean game over.

The downside is that without access to event troops from decisions and drastically reduced levies, until you build up your strength, you're suddenly very vulnerable. Your income goes up a lot, you get castle holdings you can improve, and your levies are no longer a horde of light infantry but rather a more balanced force. Like I explained in my previous post, converting to feudalism has several benefits. I should stress that since I've never tried this before, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
