Woo, Crusader kings collection for $22, yay I can finally get this.
What empr guy said. British Isle are also good to start with (but avoid the first date with Harold Godwinsson). I found my first game as the king of Scotland extremely enjoyable. You start with a limited number of vassals so it is good to learn how you should deal with them. Contrary to an Irish lord you can survive a defeat and even lose your kingdom the game won't already end. Plus you have access to diplomatic option with independent Irish Lord and the powerful King of Norway (always keep him as a friend if your vassals are too unstable. He saved while absolutely all my vassals revolted.).
France and the Holy Roman Empire are for latter.
And avoid the Iberian Peninsula. Muslim power tend to be crazy there.
I got this and played my first game last night, I may need to try the tutorials! Enjoyable and very complex I was thinking of finding a mod but now I think perhaps I need to find out how to succeed first!

I bought this last week. I still have no idea what I'm doing.
I had the same situation like you guys years ago when I purchased CK1. Couldn't figure out a damn thing...
But I kept on playing it and enjoyed the medieval feel. Now I am a veteran in it.

In my experience, it doesn't matter where you are as long as you're the same religion as the guy you're trying to kill. Or he's excommunicated. Then you've got free reign over his ass.
Also in my experience, the Emprah is not a very popular guy.

Playing as Duke of Normandy in 1066, kicked out William the Conqueror as Count of Mortain when he failed to win England. I own every de-jure territory of Duchy of Normandy, including the County of Vexin (which I snatched from King of France during a mass rebellion).
I am thinking of starting an Independence faction and leaving France to fend for itself. I have no wish to give my powerful and heavily armed-armoured Norman Knights to a king that hates me (-100 relationship) and had me excommunicated. What should I do?

Conquer England?

If Harald isn't dead yet then Prince Olav and Prince Magnus will probably be busy trying to kill each other when he does. Snatching it should be fairly easy if you got a claim

David Lloyd George was pleased with his performance at Versailles.
I have William's son, Robert, whose claim I can press. Although I do not have a claim on England of my own yet. I am hoping for a fight between Olav and Magnus (who is the king now), but they surprisingly have good relations with each other.
By the way, Norway now owns all of Finland and everything up till Russia. It is also teamed up with HRE and defeated Denmark, which they have divided among themselves. Only a small part of Denmark remains.
My only hope now is a civil war in England because Harald 'the Conqueror' didn't take away fiefs from the Saxons, and Saxons are now on bad terms with their Norwegian overlord.

So Ireland it is!
...Wait, didn't I just joined the Crusade for Jerusalem? I am now torn between these: Ireland is divided as at the 1066 start, and I have a good chance. Fatimids are also heavily divided with only Cairo remaining in their hands and Byzantine-Ethiopian alliance attacking them and winning. Seljuks also got defeated by Byzantium, and their vassals completely eliminated Seljuk dynasty. So overall, I have a good chance of becoming King of Jerusalem too. What now?

If the possibility to conquer Jerusalem and hold it is offer to you take it my friend.
Contrary to Ireland this is not a chance that appear every walkthrough as far as I am concerned.
It seems a lot of fun is possible to you in the holy land.
Thanks for the tip. I have began the attack on Jerusalem.
I am wondering what would happen after Muslims reunite, because after Sword of Islam expansion, you cannot come under protection of anyone when playing of Jerusalem.

So, is it still a good beginner start to play as Duke of Apulia? That's all I played in CKI(by the time I was getting the hang of the game, became king of Germany in one game started as Count of Salerno, my game became corrupted and unplayable completely no matter how much I reinstall) I just keep seeing Ireland being the recommended start.
