4. Before you start

Double check your neighbours' military levies, the stats I gave you are an average based on previous experience.

Check your character for immoral trait.

If Mu'nis doesn't have an immoral trait, send him on Hajj to Mecca, this will give him a 33% chance to get the proud trait.

If you don't get the proud trait, then I don't know... restart? As far as I'm aware, this the only way you can force getting an immoral trait, because you're unable to get seduction focus.

If Mu'nis has immoral trait, get him to join lucifer's own (This is why I recommended Monks and Mystics)

Ambitions:

Focuses:

There are several things you must do before you start the game:There are several useful ambitions that could be used at the start. The glaringly obvious one is the "ask liege for title", which obviously does what it says.Now you might be saying, "but sire, my liege doesn't like me", well lucky enough for you, that guy in the council you keep forgetting, the Chancellor can fix that problem for you. If you increase relations high enough, your liege might consider you as a candidate for his next title.There are two focus' you should be keeping an eye on for this acheivement, Theology and Intrigue.Theology is particularly useful early on in the game because of the casus belli "conquest" As you can see, the "conquest" casus belli requires 50 piety, for which Theology can give you 100 in a random repeatable event chain.It is also to have a big pool of piety for when the time comes for you to create a kingdom (200 is required).Intrigue is generally useful for maintaining your realm whenever you're at war (which you will be 80% of the time). It's particularly useful when you botch a war and you lose a large amount of troops, especially when your vassals feel powerful enough to create factions (Independance is the one you want to look out for). This focus would allow you spy on your fellow vassals and check to see if they're plotting against you and imprison them before they can act. It's even better when you revolt against you because you can revoke and give the title to a more 'content' vassal.
