Crusader Kings II

[The Stranger]

well tbh when i play my own games i usually play near muslims so i holy war. i only use king tier claimants because i like to have my family members on king tier thrones :P usually i take something like spain or england and from there just expand by putting my family members in a throne on france or hungary whatever and then try to keep them in power.

i usually get 2-3 children with my first wife then divorce or kill her and marry claimants to the throne of other kingdoms and then when i got a son or 2 i put her on the throne, divorce and repeat :P

i never have any rebellions or whatever tbh, specially not now with these factions :P but i guess not everyone like to play like that. there is no problem maintaining what you conquer in that fashion if you try to maintain it in similar fashion if you know what i mean. i usually just kill people of rebellious nature :P

but sometimes i just dont have the patience, i was recently recreating the roman empire and i started in 1080 somwhere so the rummites had taken all of anatolia. and after i conquered the balkan i looked at the numbers of holy wars i had to do to reconquer anatolia, and i was like fk it... takes too long and i pulled some strings to get a rummite with a claim to the throne and pushed his claim :P then i revoked his title cuz he was muslim and thats how i got all of anatolia with 1 war instead of a dozen -_- i did the same with the fatimids XD im just too impatient i guess
