Current Events > CK3 still sucks, doesn't it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm doing a Mediterranean Island Kingdom (maybe empire? i dont think i will have enough kingdom titles)

Basically start as a count in Sardinia or Corsica and take over every island in the Mediterranean. In CK2 when I did this campaign, I was always getting attacked. Those islands are prime real estate. You show a moment weakness, you are losing land. CK3, playing ironman, this is a breeze.

It's 1078, I have sardinia and corsica with kingdom title, have malorca duchy as a vassal, some nephew now, Byzantine empire has all the eastern mediteranean islands, but they are starting to have civil wars and occasionally go to war with the caliphates. In 30-50 years they will be weak enough to attack directly. They have about 20k troops and a rotating group of decent allies, like 10-20k ally troops.

I am making 40 gold per turn, all of Sardinia and Corsica are at least level 20 development, my capital, Cagliari, has 34 development. I directly own all of Sardinia and Corsica and

I have not had war declared on me once. I do have a strong army, about 14k, only have 2 allies right now with 3k army total. So decently strong but not invincible.
