    You could also try to get insanely lucky with the Babushka by having the following unlikely events happen:
    1) Have the Immortality quest chain fire.
    2) Survive long enough for the entire quest chain to play out.
    3) Turn out to have had a real immortal, not a charlatan, as your mentor.
    4) Succeed in the correct mentor's correct test by picking the correct answer... and then getting quite lucky.
    Yeah. It certainly ain't moving her any higher in this list.

      Hunting focus, dog/cat (dog is more likely with hunting) rerolling to get gluttonous (and hopefully fat eventually, feasts should help), does dark familiar clash with pet, and if not then can it give health?
      I know there are some artefacts that give health but I doubt you can get them that quick.
      Technically a very good physician and a mild illness on something that already doesn't take much health would actually increase your health but it's undependable.
      If you start with military education you get +0.5 health.
      you technically can get rowdy/strong (not sure which) from an event in martial focus but you can't afford to risk 5 years on that for an EXTREMELY rare event
      Can a vassalized countess get the seeking immortality event, because I remember the martial one giving you robust
      BUT you need AT LEAST 9 years to get rank 4 since joining

      >used it to conquer Gothland (wasted my Subjugation cb on it).
      >raised an army a bit with 500 prestige, used it to coquer Føroyar and most of it's de-jure duchy.
      >changed religion to catholic, took a loan, expelled jews, invited some rich landless persons to court. They were soon spied, slandered, imprisoned and expelled for the reason unknown (but their gold wasn't expelled, lol)
      >created the duchies of Iceland, Føroyar and Gothland, used a desicion to create a custom kingdom, so I am no longer de-jure part of Norway.
      >Converted to merchant republic.
      >After 200 years, my Great republic of Iceland didn't expand any borders, but instead it developed in depth. Now it is an abolutly centralized state with 10 well-developed holdings, that is colonizing the whole Britain with it's trade posts. Some kingdoms try to break free, but they don't stay a chance against the brave 10k troops of my holings' levy, retinues and custom mercenary company. My ruler has 100 monthly income, my capital is the richest county in the world.

    King Eadmund of east Anglia was a real dude and pretty metal. The story goes that he didn’t want to convert so the Vikings tied him to a tree and made him into a pin cushion with arrows. They knew that Christians believed in very specific burial rights and if the whole body wasn’t present to be buried, the person couldn’t go to heaven. So, they cut of eadmunds head and hid it in the woods. Eadmund was pretty chill about the whole ordeal, and played a Viking age game of Marco Polo with the east Anglians, guiding them to his head with his disembodied voice. When they found his head, it was being guarded by a fox, so animals wouldn’t eat it. They buried him and now he’s a catholic saint.

      I managed to pull off the Kingdom of David achievement starting as him. Granted it took about a week of playing and I failed on my first try due to being burned at the stake as a heretic after pledging allegiance to the Muslim emperor. Pro tip on that never become a counselor if you are still openly Jewish. Because if you do you will be in their court and they can execute you. Also focus on getting the silk road trade post's around the horn of Africa in internal wars and moving your capital. Things get easier after that.

    High Chief Zistisbor of Sorbia in the 867 bookmark is pretty bad, you can't really invade it's neighbours, which are Greater Poland, a tributary of Greater Moravia and East Francia. In the north, however, is the Chiefdom of Dymin, which is worth like nothing. You start with a trash army and only 2 martial. And most of the time, you get invaded by Greater Poland, which you'll probably not survive.

Then he actually conquered Andhara so he is Maharaja right now and he is also my successor. Yes, I have primogeniture succesion law because my spy studied legalism technology in Byzantium. So as you see, playing as Thakur of Maldives is not that boring and pointless as you may think.

    Think before pronouncing. "Shaykhah" is related and similarly pronounced as "Sheikh", and you can probably pronounce that word.
    The "Ead" in Eadmund is pronounced as Ed. Today many names on Ed- are derived from English nobles, such as Edward, Edgar, Edwin etc...

    @4:47 Sardinia. You start with Sardinia. As for the Pope you keep him happy. I'd say you should take the martial focus but if you need to, take the carousing focus. In the mean time be dillehent with alliances
    After that when the crusades start make sure you join in. When there is a big army, make sure that your army is the first to engage the enemy in the decisive battle, the rest of the armies should fall in.
    After becoming ruler of the crusade target you then swear fealty to HRE. Consolidate power. Then begin conquering Muslim lands. With the HRE protecting you as their vassal you should be able to expand without creating defensive pacts.
    Make sure your succession laws are in good order, and be a good boy to the emperor.
    Until you have the Near East under your control and absolute monarchy laws. Once you hold the land required it's time to abandon the HRE. Form a faction for independence. (Try to make sure you have the Papal States in it. Not necessary but it'll make subjugating the Papal States later easier. I didn't in my game and he got pissy so it was anti-pope time)
    Once independent proclaim Empire of Outremar. Conquer the shattered Muslim remnants. Convert the Muslim to the light of Christianity. Conquer all the way into India. Conquer all of Africa.
    That's how ya play Orvieto.
