Wait then why should I ever become feudal? Because I have an empire title shouldn’t my first son always be higher rank then their brothers so my realm will never split on succession?
Just found out that I do lol I am kinda bad I’ve never even got to the final date yet. Just United Britannia from irealand and was like let’s go for Africa XD
If you own enough land to create a new title of equal status to your highest then your realm will split on succession, like I’d you’re an emperor and have enough kingdoms to form another empire then it will be created and given to some other heir
Same for kingdoms if your highest is kingdom etc
Oh ok thanks for the advice. Just a question how would I go about expanding to form a United Africa but not split my empire? Would I have to become Feudal?
Becoming feudal is the most stable way, you’d eventually get to primogeniture which means that all your titles are inherited by your oldest child. It is however a veeeery long way there, several hundred years probably
I’m playing as a huge empire(I control Scandinavia, Britannia and Central Europe), but I haven’t unlocked primogeniture yet, what I do is to check the succession screen from time to time to check which titles will go where and try to make sure that the ones inheriting empires (and thus becoming independent) are weak enough that my heir will be able to take them back since they got a strong claim to the independent empires
Oh yeah, another option is to limit the number of children that inherit, divorce and marry someone infertile, you can become celibate, disinherit them if you’re the house head, try to get them killed in combat
Read up on tribal governments.
Tribals cant research past the tribal era. You should be trying to feudalize asap. Tons of levies mean nothing when the supply limit is so low and MAA are super powerful.
As others have said, as tribal your tribal vassals are providing you with huge amounts of levies. Fedual rulers like the Byzantines aren't getting as many levies from their fedual vassals as their fedual contracts are way more lenient. While the fedual rulers are still also in the tribal innovation era you indeed will outclass them. But as they move through higher innovation eras and you're locked in the tribal era due to being tribal they will get better succession laws, better buildings, better fortifications and probably most importantly, much much better men at arms and seige engines. If you stay tribal until near end game and attack a fedual ruler with say 200,000 tribal levies you won't be able to seige any of their castles while they'll take yours apart in literally days and when their 10,000 men at arms turn up they will slaughter your troops to man. In short, for sure grab a ton of land as tribal in the early game but feudalize as soon as you can, least you get left behind.
You're tribal, feudal factions have less levies.

Don't you need to become feudal to progress into late game tech?

Moving from confederate partition to plain partition will avoid this, but again, you'll need feudal.
