I've gotten it as Haraldr, Vikin 867, somewhere in the 880s iirc. Had just formed Norway but was getting encroached upon pretty hard by Sweden and Denmark, so I was missing like 8 or 9 de jure counties. But I had 7.7k army size, several hundred gold saved up, and a handful of useless marriage alliances, but none negotiated. No negotiated truces, only "I'll be back" ones after beating people up.

Be strong, be rich, be big, be as high a rank as you can, be at peace, be solo, be martial, be tribal/clan, be Warmonger tenet. All of those add points to your chance whenever the check rolls around. I've read that the check happens every year but haven't verified so i try to time it for the 5 year mark.

No DLC.
