Just started a Portugal run in 867. Custom ruler. Brilliant strategist. I’ve already formed Portugal pretty quick, 880. Basically I’ve split Spain in half. I hold Asturias, Galicia, Portugal, and Badajoz. Married a commoner with the Herculean trait. My primary heir has amazing stats at birth. Along with 3 daughters. I’ve knocked off Haisstein with my alliances to Wessex, King Louis of Italy, and a matrilineal marriage to the secondary heir of CHARLES THE bald. Just conquered Brittany last night. The goal is to improve the culture and form a custom empire on the Western Coast of Europe. What pillars should I take for RP? Should I hybridize? I’d love some input. I’m coming off my Hellenic, Alexander reborn campaign. Conquered the old borders of Hellenic Macedonia India. I’m looking to RP a Portuguese conqueror, and rewrite European history.
