Some players will execute a bunch of prisoners as soon as they take over to get that dread right away. If you build up high dread, the factions aren't going to be a problem. If your ruler is really loved by your vassals, your heir gets a bonus to their opinion for a while, which can help. There are various ways to avoid problems with factions after succession. Basically declare war when they are weak.Īny ways im sure there are plenty of other ways to do things, these generally work for me. If west francia has allies, wait till their king dies (or even better assasinate them) - their heir will have no allies when they take the throne, even better if the heir is a child. As muslim ally Egypt or another large power. Usualy having rulers live along time is good for realm stability, but if you want them to die then make them drink and if they get depressed you can have them commit suicide.
If you have a good constitution a good physician and if you select the health boost in the learning tree then you can live to your 80s. in my experience if your ruler is reasonably healthy and does not die from war or disease they usualy live to their 60’s. Stress and things like alcoholism and obesity will make your health poor and make you die early.Īnd then of course you have chances of dying of disease and being maimed in war etc. This enables you to break up the land of powerfull vassals and redistribute titles to loyal ones (especially helpfull when you have nobles of different cultures or religion) They can be very useful if you win, since you imprison all the nobles that rise up against you and you can revoke their titles. Note that civil wars are not always a bad thing. Other point is if your land gets split up among many siblings, assasinate them to inherit the land back, or fabricate claims to revoke their lands.
It also helps if your heir has lands and titles already (ideally a duchy title) since it will give prestige, and will make the other nobles accept him more.įinally if you know your ruler will die soon its a good idea to save up funds, so that you can bribe your powerfull nobles when your heir inherits. Mary off your sisters or daughters to other rulers - or even powerfull vassals within your realm since they will not join factions against you and will also support you during internal wars. Otherwise try and make alliances immediately upon accession. If the faction is for another claimant then try and assassinate the claimant before they press their claim. You can increase back up again after 10 years or so. If your new ruler is too weak when they take the crown, then just accept the faction request and have crown authority lowered. Most of the time the factions your vassals join are to lower crown authority.
