    I don't suppose anyone knows any "the different methods of gaining land" and "how to develope your nation quickly" guides? I've been out of the loop for quite a while.

    High diplomacy chancellors have a chance to fabricate claims on entire duchies at a time. I think the skill threshold for that ability is around 15, so it's a good idea to always seek out the best people for that job. You will still get claims on single counties but you can ignore them until something better comes along. Of course, fabricating on a duchy is very expensive so remember to float a bunch of cash.

    Inviting claimants to your court and landing them. Look at the title you want to acquire and next to the history button you'll see claimants, which is everyone who has a claim on that title. You can either invite random courtiers, or, use marriages to get people of your dynasty with valid claims on that title. Remember that you don't have to directly inherit something to get a claim on it, the 2nd and 3rd in line also get strong claims.

    Daughters of your dynasty are one of the most important assets you can have in CK2, you should learn to think about them strategically and make use of the betrothal mechanism. Good heirs usually are snatched up instantly the moment they hit 16 by the AI, but Paradox specifically designed betrothals to give the player an advantage. The AI is programmed specifically not to use them, so check the available betrothals every few years and see what your options are. Line up each daughter as best you can, either for a military alliance or to get claims in the family.

    Ok I got a situation, the heir I was grooming was assassinated by some smalltime norse bishop who I promptly murdered, now I'm left with a weak heir, is there anything I can do to avert the inevitable sucession war?

    Stocking up money for bribes. Killing guys with honorary titles or killing ambitious vassals. Or, if you have more capable children, just kill the heir. Switching to elective might also help, but it is a bit risky with big realms. Elective has become my favorite kind of succession law for small realms. If you mostly have dynasty members as vassals, you have to be doing something wrong if you lost your primary title.

    Ok now my saves are crashing frequently, lovely.

    Before that my vassals kept charging into uinwinnable rebellions of independance and usurping eachother's titles and generally making a mess of things for no blasted reason.

    That is very strange.

    Are you patched up to 1.08?

    I've been playing since 1.03 and I haven't had a single crash yet.

    As for the vassals - if you let them have too much power, they will do that. Generally the rule I follow is to try and keep them all separated into their respective duchies and keep crown authority at medium so they don't mess with each other.
