Yeah easiest start for me is the Earl of Dublin at 1066. You will inherit Leinster from your father when he kicks the bucket giving you two counties. From there just start fabricating claims and creating duchies for the rest until you can become king. Once you become king, you can use your de jure claims for the rest of the counties. From there you can try taking over Scotland or Wales if England doesn't get there first. You can pretty much go where ever you want at this point.

A province is the smallest division visible on the map. Each province has a corresponding County title identified with its capital settlement.The terms are somewhat interchangeable. A ruler who controls one or more counties and no higher title is generically known as a Count / Countess, although special names may be used instead depending on a combination of religion, culture and government type.

I doubt they would outgrow all of the old pagan traditions (like concobinage) over night. Plus, as tribes are much more isolated than counties, the church laws are often a bit harder to.

If you have trouble taking over counties in the beginning, I find that some mercenaries will do the trick.Personally I like finding someone in this list:I have also found that the Duke of Brittany can be pretty easy as well. No not at all. Hungary is very volatile throughout the whole time period. Hungary IMO is one of the harder kingdoms to start out as there was historically a lot of infighting and then the Mongols can come mess your stuff up.

Poland is a bit better, but it's still not near as easy as Ireland. If you want to try being a king right away, one of the brothers from Spain is not a bad route, just don't iritate too many muslims in the area.Denmark can be relatively easy as well, as long as you don't ♥♥♥♥ off the Holy Roman Empire. When I first got CK2, before I bought it on Steam, I would've said go for someone in Spain because it was way too easy to form, but now I'd recommend Scotland. I conquered Ireland and Wales before 1130, which is actually really really really slow but I don't like to fight vassals a lot, and then inherited the Byzantine Empire and it was a cake-walk from then on. It's fairly easily done and you become almost unstoppable because by this time either the HRE has conquered a lot and will break apart or they've already broken apart and you can pick up Italy quite easily. Although most of this is entirely situational, I've done it twice now and it's SO easy. The benefit of Ireland is that it's isolated & not many people care about invading you.

That's the issue with the Spanish Jimenas in 1066. You've got a bunch of Muslims who don't like you, you've got brothers who may want to kill you - it's harder to get started.Any one of the Counties of Ireland is good because you start as a Count. You don't have as many political issues until you instigate them yourself, unlike a Duke or a King who has a lot more powerful vassals to appease.Ireland just lets you ramp up & learn the mechanics in a nice, safe enviroment compared to the Continent.Except the Jimenas in Spain in 1066, I don't think I'd recommend any Kings because they require a lot of tactical moves that you just don't know when you start. My first playthrough was as the Duke of Gwynedd (the bottom left county in Wales). The turmoil in England leaves you time to unite Wales, and you might be able to pick off a few English counties as you go.

Create the Kingdom of Wales then start rolling up Ireland, at the same time interfering just enough in England to keep that kingdom weak and fractured. Once the Kingdom of Ireland you is yours you've enough levies to make a bid for England or Scotland. Woxter driver for mac free. Empire of Britannia is yours for the taking.
