The objective is to perform a blitz in these counties, with minimal losses.

Ormond and Ossory will be allied with the High Chiefdom of Meath so you can stay away from them. Connacht will also be easy to take (but i didn’t).

Since Ireland is basically composed of several chiefdoms during these time, you wound expect big forces to counter you.īasically desmond and Thomond will go down without a fight. So the next question is, since the Kingdom of France and Brittany will bring forth destruction to you, where will you invade next? It should be a piece of cake.ĭon’t think of a valid casus belli, since you are the viking invaders, basically you can invade every county in france. The Baron here only have a couple of hundred troops which is far inferior than your viking horde. So instead of attacking these kingdoms, why not focus on the County of Leon at the Edge of Western France. If you make the mistake of attacking them, then you’ll die and end early.Īpparently, the King of France is an ally of the King of Brittany, so attacking either of them will bring forth the wrath of their ally and could wipe you out. The First InvasionĪt the start you are surrounded by several kingdoms including the Kingdom of Brittany and the Kingdom of France. Also, you dont need to spend gold on Men-at-arms, because having 3000 soldiers early on, your forces is far superior than other counties except of course the king of france (so better stay away from him). So use these to your advantage.īefore unpausing, choose a Martial Lifestyle, focusing on Strategy. You will also have alot of Prestige to begin with. But dont worry, it seems that Count Haesteinn brought 3000 of his viking followers with him and a large quantity of gold. You will start with just one county, Montaigu, at Western France. Start as Haesteinn of Haestening Dynasty.
