You shouldn’t have to call in your allies for this fight as Earl Muiredach mac Carthach of Desmond only has around 250 troops to deal with at the start of the game.Īfter conquering Desmond, you’ll want to use your Marshal to increase control in the county.
You can then press the one Du Jure claim you have, which will let you conquer the Earldom of Desmond. Your opening move should be to marry the woman that’ll give you the strongest alliance. This cost me a few wars I wouldn’t have had to fought otherwise. For example, during my playthrough, the Duke of Ulster’s heir was the Duke of Mercia which means I would lose control of that Duchy after his death. This’ll prevent awkward situations that make you lose land from occurring. It’ll take around 55-56 years to research, but you want to get to High Crown Authority as soon as possible. A big goal for you should be to focus on the Royal Prerogative cultural innovation right off the bat. You’ll also want to quickly switch over to Limited Crown Authority in the Realm menu. So, until you establish the Kingdom of Ireland, only grant Earldoms or below. If you grant a Duchy to a vassal, it will put them on the same level as you, and they’ll become independent. As long as you don’t form a second kingdom (something that is beyond the purview of this guide), you will still control the Irish throne, even if Duchies and Counties are split among heirs.Ī key thing to remember is that you want to be stingy with your titles early on. If Murchad can become High King of Ireland before he dies, his heir will inherit that title, and any other titles inherited by his siblings will remain vassals instead of becoming independent. This splits your Titles equally amongst your children after your death. One of the biggest obstacles during this playthrough is going to be that you’re stuck with Confederate Partition for a while. You’ll want to establish the title of King of Ireland as early as possible. Instead, you’ll want to quickly meet the requirements needed to establish the title and rely on diplomacy and scheming to conquer the rest over time. Unfortunately, it just takes too long to fabricate claims and conquer territory. Poor Murchad may become King of Ireland, but he almost certainly won’t live long enough to unite the isle. The safest route to reestablish the Kingdom of Ireland is to play the long con. This territory will remain your capital and base of operations throughout this scenario, so familiarize yourself with it.
