Now you need to mod in a Nazi invasion and see if they ally with the remaining Free Peoples of Westeros. Because then you could officially claim that the Miroslavs are worse than Hitler.

You should go into the Lord of the Rings mod and make Sauron unite with the elves to drive out the Serbs.

Apparently, I still rather suck at this game and just before my conquest to control the last holy site I need to reform Germanic Paganism, I'm dealing with 3 uprisings. I'll probably be incapable of enforcing demands on more than one of them and am extremely outnumbered. I have no allies because I was a shithead and didn't secure my kingdom's allies or even succession well, so... Crap. Guess I need to call in a tribal army and hire the best mercs in the land (900 prestige and 800 gold currently) and I was saving that for the conquest of the holy site. (against a fairly large kingdom)It definitely doesn't help that my character is maimed and likely won't live past 55, so I've only got 2 decades to win 4 wars, earn 350 piety, reform the faith, and secure my succession before dropping dead. Oh, and when I attempted to prepare an invasion of the holy site, the force randomly disbanded after 2 months, so I can't use that.

Having been in a similar situation at least once, I'd suggest several tips for next time:

1) Alliances. You need these. They can easily double your troop count or more depending on who you get.

2) Make sure your firstborn son is taught by a Strategic Genius (The Four Star Military Guy) with the highest martial score. This can give you +50% troops if you compare a 20 martial guy to a 5 martial one.

3) Make sure you have enough for a blot when you take the last site, or make sure you have the 750 piety upon taking the last site. It doesn't matter if you lose it after you reform the faith.

4) Constantly check the faction screen and sent your spymaster to scheme where the factions may be.

I hope this helps you out, or at least will next time if you're ironmanning this. :)

Awwww yiss. I have my Malinese Merchant Republic. And it is glorious. Actually, it's the Most Serene Republic of Mauretania and Mali, because I had to move the capital to Massat, and needed to make the Mauretania title primary to avoid some potential inheritence weirdness. And I just managed to extinguish the Sultanate of Africa and create its title anew as a Republic. Now I just need to get 400 Piety and I can create the Principality of Mali.

Alright. I was playing a Patrician. I assassinated the Serene Doge. "You have began playing as a Republic and thus are no longer allowed to play the game." Excuse me, what the fuck?! This was on Ironman too. Urgh.  ::)

Are you sure you were an actual patrician and not a feudal vassal to a republic? The game tends to be wonky with that stuff.

Definitely - I set up the Republic in the first place.

Did you get it from the steam workshop? CK2 mods downloaded through that tend to crash a lot as well as having a ton of problems.

Game of thrones is installed to

Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II

not the mod folder inside that folder

That is where mine is anyway, and last time I played it worked.

I assume that is your issue, but maybe not. Otherwise, try reinstalling it maybe. Shouldn't need DLC, should be optional part of the mod.

I used the built-in installer from their homepage.

Apparently that installs to the wrong folder now.
