On the other hand, I didn’t find myself using the map radial all that much. The character radial menu I also used to access things like my character’s lifestyle and titles, and as a quick method of moving back to my character if I’d wandered off on the map. It feels fluid to access this bar with the triggers, and then to tab through its menus with the bumpers, and it was through that bar that I gave orders to my council, made decisions, and did much of the work of (admittedly quite badly) ruling over my territory. I found that out of all the menus, I was using the command bar the most - the bar across the top of the screen which lets you access your realm, military, council, court, intrigue, factions, and decisions menus. ![]() Then there’s the quick access bar at the bottom for active processes, while notifications appear on the right side of the screen, and can be accessed by holding down both bumpers. If you’ve got loads of menus up and want a quick view of the map, you can hold down both triggers. There is also a “console-specific feature that is controlled on the right stick, so you can quickly move” from the map back to your menus. You then have the character and map radial menus, which Justin says “wor in concert” with the other menus. So we had to work out a control scheme and menu navigation scheme that really suited consoles.” This “control hierarchy” begins with your character view, which you access by pressing Y, and the command bar along the top, which you access with the triggers and tab through with the bumpers. Always join your liege in putting down these revolts too.“This is a very menu-heavy game,” Justin said, “and obviously on the PC version it’s very much a mouse and keyboard controlled game. The Armenians pushing for independence can be a problem hence you want to convert their culture/faith as you go. Beware the factions against your liege.I formed a faction and waited till he was weak before pressing my demands and he let me leave. Don’t declare independence from your liege until you feel you no longer need his protection from anyone declaring war on you.You want to make sure you have all de jure Rum land from his vassals before you leave him otherwise you will have to fight for it. If your liege has land you want then make a claim and petition him for it.There is an event in the royal court that can give you a 20% cultural acceptance bump.Get your steward raising cultural acceptance with the Greeks as soon as you have Greek land.I got some good priests so I was converting a county every 2 years. If you look over all your counties you might find some are easier to convert. When your Priest isn’t making claims they should be converting the locals.Target the bigger duchies first like Anatolia to weaken the Byzantines more for your next encounter. Devour the target duchies, grant the lands to Greeks and watch that acceptance grow. From here it’s more or less the same strategy. Always prioritise Greeks as it gives a cultural acceptance increase. Any counties I needed to give away I gave to Oghuz unless I happened to have a Greek courtier as an option. After this I kept Chaldia myself and moved my capital to Trebizond. Beat them back a few times and conquer what you can till you win the war. If you get lucky the Byzantines might be preoccupied otherwise you will need to smash their approximately 9000 stack with your hopefully 10,000 stack. When you are ready launch your attack on the Duchy of Chaldia. Going down the Diplomacy lifestyle route will help with finding a better match. I betrothed my daughters to these old men knowing that if they died early I could find a new partner easy enough. ![]() By now you want to be looking at marriage pacts I was lucky enough to get marriages with the local Dukes including the Sunni Caliph who has a sizable army. ![]() You want to close the game and reopen till you get the duchy claim. Rum Start a claim for one of the counties in the Duchy of Chaldia. Once they have fallen, bulldoze your way over the other vassals and form the Kingdom of Armenia. Once Armenia has fallen your liege will grant counties to your brothers. I was able to pick up both of them by the time my liege conquered Armenia. Once those claims are made take them for yourself. Get your Priest to start a claim on the independent Armenian counties while your Steward starts converting local counties to Oghuz. Marry at least one to someone with high stewardship. Opening Moves Marry female courtiers matrilineally to men with high prowess. I suggest you take this option as the Armenian Apostolic and Greek Orthodox people do not like an Oghuz Ash’ari as their overlord. Turkish Eagle In the settings there is an option to reduce frequency of factions without disabling achievements.
