I took Constantinople while holding only ONE barony

Apparently, my previous one barony challenge was too easy. So I did another one with a Feudal Barony this time! Will I be able to survive and gain enough power to invade some of the biggest empires in the game? You'll have to watch to find out 👀

Imagine historians trying to explain how one island in the middle of the Mediterranean got under the control of a family of madmen who built it into a sprawling metropolis, took Constantinople, and then just sorta stopped.

[@DeD0s]

You just wrote the pitch for a new arc in my d&d campaign! Thanks for that dude :D

[@Arikian]

That was basically Italy/Rome, except they were beaten back before they stopped

[@xxAnaconta]

This is basically the equivalent of Venice sacking Constantinople during the 4th crusade, so not that far of from reality.

[@Bubby370]

​@@Arikian rome litarly took control of the entire mediterainian france and England before they stopped as they couldn't take the barbarian tribes how is it like this at all?

[@bobSeigar]

​@@Bubby370they didn't stop. They created a religion, moved their Dynastic members into it, and let the corpse called Rome die.

[@TheValiantBob]

You know what would be funny? Continuing this series by conquering ONLY the capitals of each major nation. Tiny island with just a ton of tiny one city territories spread throughout the world.

There was a workaround the culture thing by letting your heir study under a different culture and having them switch, then once they become the ruler you can try to make a hybrid with your old culture

“Fun” fact: Minorca basically means “the little itty bitty teeny tiny one” in pre-Catalán Latin

One thing to remember is that hooks aren't always just good for money, hooks give you a way to invite people to court by using the hook. Even a bad courtier can be used for a marriage, which can fix things like bad councillors.

[@gryphongamer6730]

Hey Zieley love your content, learned a lot from you since I started playing last year. Hot tip dealing with your succession: if you imprison your son first, you can force him to take the vows, then you don't have to waste renown disinheriting him. Yeah you'll take a tyranny hit, but with no vassals that doesn't matter anyways. 😁

In my 1066 "The Last Karling" run, I ended with an empire that had an army with 12K men-at-arms without ever needing to field levies. It would regularly stack wipe armies of up to 20K troops.

Whenever you raise levies or replenishing/buying men-at-arms, change your marshall's job to the third one which helps lower the gold cost of those. That helps a tonne!

[@Awesomewithaz]

Call it worst barony challenge

[@tesstickle6974]

@Andrew Zanardi yeah, now i realized that you can't have a worse or a better barony. I mixed it up with counties. Although i would still like to see a tall game by him or maybe a disaster save or a hard start challanges. So basically any content from this guy

[@Jo-Heike]

@Andrew Zanardi c_yabrin, a single barony county with desert terrain that is landlocked. That's how it gets worse.

If you wish to give a crusade the best chances of success, grab some land with high supply on a shore that is some distance away from the goal. That way any armies that are defeated will retreat to it, while also allowing very easy landings for friendly troops. If the goal is Jerusalem, grab as much floodplains in Egypt as you can and work you way towards the goal.
