#CRUSADER KINGS 2 TRIBAL GUIDE UPDATE#

Of course you can have all 4 and swim in gold. In my opinion if you arenвЂ™t bored to grind conquests and raids then looting and pillaging is your mojo, otherwise go for trading and having tributaries. If we have few provinces to pillage then gold stacks up pretty fast. I like to leave cities as vassals in the province, but burn down temples and castles. Last thing that I really like is ability to pillage holdings, just like nomads do. I personally like to bully some Byzantium or Umayyads for a fat check, I canвЂ™t be bothered with opms and such. Next we have tributary states, it's pretty straight forward: your tributaries pay you money and help in wars. Even one trade post can boost our tribal income by 200% or 300%. Silk road pays more but it can close completely if Chinese Emperor is isolationist, African one needs to build up and it generates some cash even if gold mines are dry. Second thing that helps us with some cash is trade, at this moment we have two main trade routes, silk road and the one in Africa. Most of the times raiding will be our main source of income, and if we are persistent with it, we can make way more than feudal lords. ThatвЂ™s why we have ability to raid, we can just move our troops to a province that borders ours and loot it, or if we have boats we can voyage around entire map. With fully upgraded holding we will have some much troops that we won't be able to sustain them with our shitty income. To sum up, tribals have more options now to avoid big realm splits or consolidate their realm faster if these splits eventually happen. It is worth to mention that tribals have special trait for kinslayers, it just lowers some diplo and dynasty opinion, but other tribesmen see you as a tough guy.

If we refuse then we get craven trait, and if we refuse again we get some negative opinion modifier. However, in Holy Fury, people with high personal combat score can challenge us to a duel for our titles, if we accept and win they die, if we accept and lose then we die and our heir is probably left with some shitty province or game over or we can play as our foe if he was from our dynasty. Romuva and African religion start with eldership succession, it works the same as tanistry, moreover, we can reform other pagan religion to enable this law, or use open succession law.

I won't write how to breed a bloodline into our dynasty, just look on ck2wiki. Now we don't have to change culture for tanistry, it is enough if we have a bloodline that enables this law. Holy Fury is giving us more tools to mitigate succession crises. To counter it we could change to culture that allows tanistry succession or turn muslim for open succession. Funny thing is that we inherit our retinues when we turn feudal, and they cost prestige in upkeep and reinforcement.ДЄll right, when tribals were introduced in the Charlemagne DLC, our only enemy was elective gavelkind type of succession, it just splits our realm among our kids and creates kingdoms for them. We can even have elephant troops as tribals, I haven't tried it yet but it must be awesome. To not make it so easy we are only allowed to get some light infantry spiced up with horses, archers or heavy infantry, all this for the cost of prestige, however, we are also allowed to pay money for culture specific retinue, and this gives us some room to crush feudal armies fairly easily. This allows us to reach absurd retinue cap if we have many fully upgraded holdings. Before version 3.0 tribals couldnвЂ™t field large retinues, but Holy Fury removed event spawned troops (decision to spawn 2500 troops for 500 prestige) and gave tribals some retinue cap in tribal buildings. Warfare becomes tricky after feudal realms build up their heavy Guess what kind of tax guy with a stick can pay? Low income Our armies are basically dirty people with rags and some sticks + Can take concubines (except muslims and polygamy reformed pagans) Some basic facts are here, but in this guide I will try, once again, to tell you how to be a better tribal chieftain. I am happy to answer any questions in the comment section. I also own all DLCs, so if you miss any of the dlcs, and something from this guide does not work for you, it is probably because you are missing certain DLC. It works, but it won't be included in this guide. I wonвЂ™t write here about North Korea mode, it is a style of play I donвЂ™t like and never played it.

#CRUSADER KINGS 2 TRIBAL GUIDE UPDATE#

I decided it's time to update my very old guide, some things stayed the same, some completely changed, overall in my opinion tribals are even stronger than they were before. I still love tribals, they are very flexible, and allow us to play in many, many ways. Hello! Many things has changed with Holy Fury DLC and tribal government is one of these things.
