Update/ What should I try first?
First of all, thank you so much for the tips, I read them all and I’m trying now with this Earl from Dublin.
Alright, quick update: I went with this Irish guy, managed to ally with the King of Scotland, although they don’t really help much in wars... The King of England is tough — he married off his only daughter to the King of France (both of them were 5 years old!) and then simply never had more kids. Anyway, I even had an affair with the King of England’s mother because of an event, but it didn’t last.
All my wives keep dying of disease, which breaks my defensive pacts with small Iberian kingdoms. I’m playing in Ironman, so losing two wars has been really costly for me (but I’m loving it). Now I’m worried that when I die my heir won’t inherit everything, since I’m over the number of claims I can hold. What should I do?
Also, it’s been really hard to deal with the council — I even put one of my sons there and he tried to kill me. I was horrified. How do I calm these guys down?
PS: I was using Martial focus for the wars, but now I switched to Seduction to try and find another wife. Does that even make sense?
