My second game in CK3 was as a viking, and once I reformed and became feudal, the option went away. In short, trying to be nice to my brothers resulted in this insanity, and it's the reason we can't have nice things in Iberia. I'd probably come out ahead technology wise doing the culture swap, but then I'd lose the longboats. So, now I have to decide whether I want to spend 50 years culture swapping counties so I can take over as cultural head (which will be hard, as some vassals have started embracing Andalusian culture) or just swap to Andalusian myself and become Nordic-looking Andalusian vikings. I thought that as long as I was feudal, I could grab innovations beyond the tribal era. Even worse, since I broke up the kingdoms, no one owns the required counties, so even if someone wanted to reform the faith, they can't right now. I didn't think about it, but it turns out that I'm stuck at tribal innovations even though I'm feudal, because my idiot brother is tribal. Well, except for one tiny problem: I'm not the cultural head anymore, because 90% of the counties I own in Spain are not Norse. I've got everything I wanted: a feudal, raiding, Norse kingdom in Spain. I move the capital to Cordoba, and hand off Sweden, Wales, Norway, and Denmark to my siblings. Since I don't want to rule a Scandinavian empire, I decide to hand out kingdoms to my brothers. Great! Now I have a feudal, unreformed dynasty. I grant Andalusia to my heir (I'm not an empire), he becomes feudal, and I have him elected to the kingship of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Wales. I've achieved part of my goal to move my dynasty to Spain and become Spanish vikings. So, I conquer Andalusia in a kingdom level invasion of the Umayyads.
I ended up messing up my culture and dynasty even more. Thoughts? Am I doomed to spend 10,000 piety swapping between multiple faiths on a whim, meaning I'll have to take the perks in the learning trees?
I was thinking of scamming wives and concubines by having wives/concubines of 3 different faiths, then using that discount to convert between different faiths, but I'd have to convert to an organized religion that has polygamy or concubinage, otherwise I'd lose the concubines upon conversion. There's got to be a better way, but I'm not sure what to do. Convert to Islam, settle as Clan, then convert back to Germanic paganism. (I can do that, right? They aren't evil to my reformed faith, I think.)ģ) Conquer land in, say, Andalusia. But it would be a big project.ġ) Reform faith, settle as feudal, then convert back to the unreformed version of my faith.Ģ) Reform faith, settle as feudal, take a wife that practices any unreformed pagan faith. I can think of a few ways to do this, but all of them require ridiculous amounts of piety that I could, hypothetically, farm from executions and generally pious behavior (human sacrifice is a part of unreformed German paganism). Which would preclude raiding if, say, I reformed Germanic paganism.
The decision to settle as feudal requires being a member of an organized faith. My dilemma is that I'm not sure how I can become feudal and still end up being unreformed pagan. This, in turn, tells me that if I can somehow become feudal, but have the correct unreformed religion, I can still get in my longships and go raiding. It is my understanding that you can raid if you are either tribal or a member of an unreformed pagan religion.
