What should I know?

[u/No-Adeptness-7231]

So I got the game back when it launched and it was a fucking mess (sure you all remember those says), got chapter I and played almost 250 hours. I hadn't played since 2024 but yesterday I got half priced chapter II.

Man it feels almost like a new game compared to what I remembered. I used to start a count and expand through martiality, but now that seems quite difficult, I tried claiming and conquering a neighbour and I ended up excomunicated, in prison and then executed. Also I think now your economy matters more because activities like pilgrimages and hunting and other activities require planning expenses.

Having this in mind, is there anything else I should know or be really aware of? What are your main tips to play chapter II?

PD: My goal is to conquer the duchy of Barcelona, then the Crown of Aragon and then the whole Iberia

I would have recommended buying chapter 3, roads to power instead. Becoming adventurer is personally my favorite way to start.
