Have not declared war in +100 years, neighboring Russia has troops comparable to me. Just got gifted the Conqueror trait.

I just did a post about finding the meta to get Conqueror, so this is quite the funny coincidence.

What is the fastest way to erase a culture and replace it with yours?

I am doing a Norse+reformed Asatru run with House Munso. Have gotten all of Scandinavia, England and Wales (the latter thanks to a vassal’s holy CB).

Catholic faith has been completely replaced with Asatru in England proper, but the culture remains Anglo Saxon. All but 2 of the duchies within are under Norse rulers.

Is this something that plays out as I move on or can I take steps myself as well?

What is a habit you do consistently in all your playthroughs, even if you don't plan for it?

For me; no matter where I start I always seem to attack the Byzantines.

I was just thinking about this: In my last 6 playthroughs, I have warred the Byzantines in 4. And usurped the title in 3 of those. An Ivar Start, A Mongol Start and a Saladin start. Huh...

How are you people finding battles to be like since the update?

Maybe I'm a tad rusty or bad but I feel like I need to be way more measured in battles ever since the update.

Late game I am stacking either heavy infantry/ horsemen, maybe a stack of crossbows and then the siege weapons, as I've always done. I find myself losing more than I remember, especially in enemy territory. Less so in my own.

Can anyone resonate? Or is this a skill issue?
