War is one of the most important element of every strategy game.
Although inCrusader Kings IIit doesn’t matter that much, you shall pay attention to it.
Medieval art of war is shown in this game in very detailed way.
Unfortunately, as it happens in simulations, reality makes a lot of problems to the nowadays players.
Fabricate Claims
The easiest method basing on sending thechancellorto the enemy land and usurp the power.
Another values of this solution is fact that you gainpope’srespect and 500 piety points.
It’s described in detail in the chapterReligion: Crusade.
Another argument that can be used is an integrity of the country.
An additional thing is usurping rights to some land.
Special statement informs you when it’s possible.
Intrigues
Both player and his subjects can declare war thanks to intrigues.
But remember that the goal of confrontation is clearly defined and you’re able to’t cross it.
Unfortunately such plans show up in the game very rarely.
It is described wider in theReligion: Basics.
In the case of victory, the conquered lands go to the vassal, not to you.
That’s why such intervention isn’t always profitable.
On the other hand, it’s cosy way, because it doesn’t require much effort.
You just need toInvite to Courtone of descendants of the debatable province and declare the war in his name.
If the achieved titles are not equaled with yours, you’ll gain new subordinate with all his territory.
But remember to convert the heretic province after the winning.
Defending the faith
The least profitable war is definitely war in defence of the faith.
Rulers deciding on joining to the anti-muslim coalition can lose much things and gain only prestige and piety points.
You don’t get any territories in that way.
It’s a problematic way of gaining the power, because it requires carrying out a brilliant military operation.
Besides, it’s more worthwhile to assassinate the monarch.
