Preferably 2 that don't have any conflicts with each other.Īllies will help you against external enemies, as well as factions. I'll leave them in for historical accuracy. Note: the last 2 bullet points no longer work with the latest patches as you cannot build multiple tribal holdings in one county and get crippling penalties for wrong holding type. Upgrading from tribal settlements is always tricky, whether you are aiming for a republic or feudalism! I don't have much experience with republics at all, so I'll give general advice.

I worry that if AI wins the next election which is likely since my treasury is always low due to having to hire lots of mercenaries then my fledgling state is doomed. Did I just transition too soon? One of my neighbours Saxony had already transitioned earlier to feudal and didn't seem to experience such a large drop in levies, so seems like it's possible to do it without being destroyed. Not to mention prepared invasions where I seem to be everyone's target of choice. This makes it difficult to have enough breathing room to raise cash needed for the next invasion, let alone to develop my state and build up the levies. I've become a target even for vassals of my neighbours. This wouldn't be such a big problem in itself, as I can hire mercenaries, but since AI looks purely at the levy when deciding which neighbour is weak enough to be attacked, I am getting attacked by virtually everyone around me. As soon as I transitioned to a republic, my number of troops decreased by a factor of ! This is proving harder than I anticipated. My goal from the start was to eventually transition to a republic and build a trading state that encompasses the Baltic and Scandinavia. The biggest challenge is the succession system, but that can be dealt with by fighting a few wars every time after succession a hassle but it doesn't destroy your state. Things went really smoothly as a tribal, large armies and I easily defeated the neighbours. I started a game as Pomeranian tribal in the early middle ages bookmark Charlemagne.
