Mercenaries, or if it's a war for independence they can get a "traitors flock to their cause" event which gives 'em about as many men as they can field conventional, in the form of 3 stacks.
Also those stacks don't take attrition. Which is nice when you're Emperor of Francia, and some Italian duke pulls 140k attritionless dudes out of his ass, which then begin raping the hell out of your demesne in provinces that you can't send 20k men to without taking attrition.
I have the best explorer ever.
He mapped the coastline of every single continent singlehandley over a period of 30 years.
I also have military access rights with loads of American, Asian and African nations now.
1448 to 1478 never forget.

Is there a way to not take attrition yourself? I might be able to defend against the Ilkhanate, but their super stacks are so fucking bullshit with their non-attrition doomstacks.
Wow there, hold your horses....
My daughter married the son of the emperor of the HRE. I managed to keep the kids. Why did they allow this? Is there some political loophole for emperors i am unaware of? Ofcourse, it would mean that i have to murder all my sons (if i get any), to make sure my daughter becomes queen. But it would be worth it.
It's probably elective.
They'll just elect somebody else and avoid your bloodline.
Yeah marrying into the Kaiser's family is only good for alliances, as HRE is elective.
Ah crap, you're right. I should seriously check the politics before doing these things lol. Oh well. Looks like i will get a bunch of counties anyway.

Thanks to some territory i am entitled to in the HRE, i can actually vote in their elections though. Hmm.

Steppe Wolf
I got to 1484 as Poortugal.
My explorer finally died after 34 years of endless service, charting more of world than every other human combined in history.
He discovered so much I got rid of the quest for the new world NI because it was effectively useless.
RIP Jose Manuel Coelho. ;_;7
I still haven't been able to inherit any land through clever marriage management.
Is there like, a guide to just that aspect anywhere? So far all of my inheritances have been "Marry all my daughters to random people near where I want to inherit and then start killing kings and dukes until I get stuff"

Is this in CK2? My favourite way is finding characters with only one son, marrying my heir to the eldest daughter and then kill the son. Or if that fails, pressing the claim on that land that she gets once her father dies, then letting our heir inherit.
There's a lot of ways that involve killing people and you can be clever about it, but you actually need to have a plan or know how to do it. Marry daughters with matrilinear marriages if ever possible.
I sometimes just marry daughters matrinally to courteirs with good stats, mainly to just keep land holdings in the dynasty, if I have to expand and such.
Rather a giant royal house than an outsider.

On one of my games, I had a king who made just a lot of females, and rarely males. Was a total fucking pain.
Oh no. This is bad. My king suddenly died, and left me with only a single heir. A homosexual, lazy coward. Every single duke (12 of them), has between 40-100 negative relation with him. Everyone is planning independence now. There are several massive factions with 90 or more power and i am also in the middle of a war with Norway.
This could get complicated.

Try buying off the most powerful dukes if you have some gold, and try to make an alliance with another powerful nation for when shit hits the fan. Otherwise, rest in peace.
So the new aztec pack just released!
Does it let us play as them?
Wait it's already out? is there a paradox news post?
[QUOTE=scout1;38463060]Wait it's already out? is there a paradox news post?[/QUOTE]
Yes its now out.
I didn't see anything like that, just the steam store update.
If you go on GMG, there's a sale on everything CK2.
The new DLC is 3 dollars instead of 5.
Holy shit, i can't believe i survived that independence war. My 500 gold treasury had drained all the way down to 18 gold when they decided to accept white peace at a 24% warscore. A couple months more and i would definitely have lost my throne.
Now to fight the second independence war aswell as the claimant war.

Have fun being the least popular man in Europe!
[editline]15th November 2012[/editline]
Seriously the only thing that would make you less popular at this point is punching Jesus.
This is fucking intense man. Im hanging on to my throne by a thread. I am in my second civil war and they outnumber me by 5 times maybe. But so far i have been managing to push them back a bit.
I have 26 gold right now, and i'm losing half a gold every month. I don't think this will end well. This is really sad. I worked so hard for this and now it's all coming apart so fast.
[editline]15th November 2012[/editline]
What is a 2000 man Savoy army doing here now. Damn it. The whole world is against me.
[editline]15th November 2012[/editline]
I somehow managed to end the second civil war aswell. How am i surviving this? It's crazy. Looks like another civil war is right around the corner though. People really hate gays.
