Or perhaps Munster/Connaught, since they are rated as easier to play. I think Ireland looks good for a next attempt, I've heard that Dublin is a good choice for beginners. Yeah I was going for a sort of 'tutorial' faction. Not sure how many DLCs you have, but that covers the base game pretty well for early picks. If you want to try the vassal-intrigue-faction game, pick someone in the HRE. William the Conqueror is good if you want to get right into the action and start with a powerful kingdom in a decent position. Ireland is a better 'tutorial island', if that's what you were looking to find in Iceland. So ended my game!Īny tips for who to go on my next attempt? But I was not, and I didn't stand a chance anyway. The King of Norway then declared a Holy War, I surrendered thinking I might just be vassalised. My king then died, and the heir took his place, only to convert to Catharism, become posseessed, have his entire court hate him, and generally go insane. Since I was part of the de jure Norwegian Kingdom, the King of Norway attacked me to make my vassal his own, which he easily did, since I could only raised 1,200 men to his 4,000+ that arrived on my shore. I married, has lots of kids and ensured my heir did the same. I finally caved in and got this game, and have just lost at my first attempt!
