To support a faction, click on the Faction button, second from the right on the top left row. Elections allow nobles who aren't the king's family to take his crown, which includes potentially you, so this may be worth supporting. In my game, the first faction I see is that Duke William (busy guy) wants to institute Elective Succession in France. Factions are the public face of those schemes. France is a big, powerful kingdom, and child rulers are by definition weak, so the nobles are going to be restless and constantly scheming. Those are likely to be the first and most important pop-ups. If you have the “Legacy Of Rome” expansion, then you have Factions enabled. Also bear in mind that these are meant to be read in order, so this guide assumes you've done Part One and are playing as Aquitaine.Īnd remember, here's the full list of guides:Īs you let time pass, you'll quickly have messages pop up, probably well before the situation in England can be resolved.
These are an essential part of the game, at every level, and you'll have to work to benefit from good Laws and Factions while also trying to defuse and change the bad ones.
In this second part of the guide, I'm going to cover the political structures of Crusader Kings II.
