however, as you wage more wars without a casus belli, youll get hated and hated. neighbours will just like you less for the rest of your live, and vassels for a short time. this kind of war can always be fought, occupies any territory captured, can be initiated with levies raised, but will piss of everyone. i think: WHO CARES? and go to war anyway. Lets say im the king of poland, and i want to attack russian states. That being said, i would LOVE a mechanic to go to war without a casus belli.

i married my nephew to the eldest, murdered the younger one, wited on them to produce a heir, went on a murder spree, and now im one of the strongest persons in the HRE and the storgest in italy. the duchess of toscana's heir's heir only had daughters. keep checking things and everything will be a lot easier. O managed to go from 2 counties in under the duke of carinthia(him under HRE) to 10 counties, 2 duchies and a bunch of vassels in 1 generation through marriages and warfare. marriages with some murders, claimants, de jure claims ect. there are PLENTY of othere ways to expand. i replace him when fabricating every 15 years or so as a failsafe.Ģ. there is an event to bribe someones chanselor so he wont fabricate a claim. if you dont expand, youre doing something wrong.ġ. I don't think it's a matter of "easy" or not.Ī free casus belli is far from needed. I guess this comes down to playing style and preference. I've had a couple games that were chaos and were fun. Other times, the opposite can be true as well. At times I feel like I'm playing a 2D version of the Sims that really doens't require my presence very often. Hopefully some of you guys can understand that for a few of us, that can be exasperating. And absolutely zero movement on the expansion front. FInally have a family that resembles the name. I have a beautiful county going right now. I like the idea of *some* expansion brakes, but I think this sytem takes it way too far in the other direction. Given the time investment required by aplayer to patiently hope the divce roll in their favor once in a blue moon is asking a lot.ĭon't get me wrong.


45 years+ on tyrone for example before giving up. the statistics of the casus belli are pretty skewed in my games so far. instead of deciding for them how they're going to play every aspect of the game, maybe give them some agency to make that decision for themselves. But at som.e point you need to concede that your players actually exist and matter as well.
