I like the slave camps. Thousands of LI who also decrease build costs.
Ultimo is flat out better than Primo. Besides the CA requirement, its a lot easier to get a desireable heir into power. If you get a good son, you can just stop having children via divorce or (one) assassination and that kid is now your heir. Whereas if you get a bad first son in primo, you have to murder him and any subsequent ones to get the right child.
While an untimely death is more likely to get a regency, your rulers will generally live longer and get long reign bonuses because they come to power young. A good education always helps. And if you inherit as a minor you can still choose your guardian.
Well yeah its better than primo, but still nowhere as good as elective![]()
Yeah but elective feels like cheese.
I will never ever use Ultimogeniture because I'd hate it if mybrattyyounger brother got stuff I, as the older brother, should've gotten but never did.
Yes, I let my real life experiences dictate my gameplay too much. Usually I go primogeniture or elective/tanistry depending on my mood. I try to favor oldest sons as much as I can if I'm using the latter, for some mysterious reason, unless one of their relatives are hot geniuses.
I am the youngest child but Ultimo still feels weird to switch to. If I'm RPing, I almost always try to get Primo.

I guess I always "RP" play, I'm not a particularly effective powergamer and considering how often I "cheat" to fix the papacy (although it is significantly better in the current version of the game, I will say that), I don't bother with ironman mode.
They are called Jasmines, brah.![]()
hm the duke guy is probably easier as you don't have the seljuks breathing down your neck. anyway, i've played a bunch today and conquered africa from mali to the nile delta whilst simultaneously fighting off the ilkhanate and whatever family feels like ruling egypt.
subi, the hard part wasn't getting to the kingdom of jerusalem, it's not being effed over by the mongols and muslims.
Got bored with my Britannia game with about 20 years left. Emperor of Britannia, King of Ireland, France, and Denmark, with England, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, the Pope, and large part of Germany under my vassalage.

So then I decided to give that Norman Challenge thing a go. Started as that de Bailleul guy in Charisanon. Not really sure what the big deal is...
