In general, you want to upgrade your holdings as fast as you can. As before, concentrate on your capital holding first, then go onto other holdings.įor each military building you construct, your personal military capacity increases, and this capacity will be there for you even in times of crisis, and as such gives you a base military capacity at all times, thus vastly improving your capabilities during civil wars and also helping you in both defensive and offensive wars. At this point you should have a pretty high income, so this should be relatively quick to do. The higher your income, the faster you can construct or upgrade your buildings, so while at first you'll lag behind on the military front you will quickly catch up once your economic buildings repay their cost.Īfter you have reached decent economic capital, with at least Castle Villages in all your holdings, you should go onto upgrading your military capabilities. Your focus should be on improving your economic situation. In addition, the benefit you get from your vassals is also subject to change in the long term due to changes in opinion, while your own holdings are unaffected. Your own holdings give you their entire income, while vassals will only give you a percentage. Third, you should focus on your own holdings, not your vassal bishoprics and cities.

Second, your capital will generally have the highest tech level of your holdings, and many technologies enhance the output of your buildings, thus buildings in your capital will repay your investment faster. This is important, as buildings often won't pay back the investment within a single character's reign. The reasons for this are two-fold.įirst, your capital will almost always be inherited by your heir, even if you're using Gavelkind succession. When constructing buildings, your first priority should be your capital. As it works on such a large timescale, quite a bit of thought should be put into what you build, where, and when. In Crusader Kings II you can construct buildings in your county capitals, and in any holdings in the county that belong to your direct vassals.Ĭonstruction is a long-time prospect, as it will take very long for most buildings to pay off.
