The Great Holy War CB would allow me to take all of Frisia in one shot.but how is it otherwise different from the regular Holy War CB? All of the Reformed Norse in the world are my vassals, so it isn't as if other independent states will help me. Holy Wars would allow me to take duchies at a time instead, but the other Catholics might join the Frankenblob. I could also call my Polish allies (who are slavic religion). When I want to declare war I can execute a county conquest, a Holy War for a duchy, or a Great Holy War for the Kingdom of Frisia.Ĭounty conquest would mean that the Frankenblob can only call allies - the other Catholics can't all intervene.but taking a county at a time will be slow. Basically, its a way to ensure that if you cant have the. They have about 19k troops, though as feudal their troops are better then mine. Convert to Catholic when Alfred the Great Holy Ward me, ex-Godi son becomes heir again. Great Holy Wars: Catholics, Muslims, Reformed Pagans, Zoroastrians, and Jews gain access. Another similarity between the two games is that. I have about 15k demense troops and perhaps 12k tribal allies? It isn't at all easy to figure out how many you have.When I am ready for war with the Frankenblob though I should have more of both. Some holy sites are significant for multiple religions e.g. Compared to Total War or Knights of Honor, Old Worlds character system is a bit more functional, but still reminiscent of Crusader Kings character system due to its extensive random event mechanic, helping shape a great storyline. Land locked Bavaria to the south, and feudal England/Wales to the west.įrankenblob has one of my holy sites though so they look like where I want to go. This will then leave me with a Frankish blob to my south west. I am finishing off Scotland and Ireland now as the last tribals I can easily get to without going deep into central Russia. Engage in courtly intrigue, dynastic struggles, and holy warfare in mediæval Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, India, the steppes and Tibet. My thought process is that Kingdoms that border the ocean will be much more valuable as my vassals will be able to go wherever I need them to and when they go feudal the cities will be worth so much more. Crusader Kings is a historical grand strategy / RPG video game series for PC, Mac & Linux developed & published by Paradox Interactive. I have conquered most of the kingdoms that border the baltic - the conquest and holy war CBs let you cleave out fairly clean kingdoms to eventually give out to vassals. I'm playing as a Reformed Norse Empire of Scandinavia from the Chuckie start.
