Grignr, the man, the myth, the legend, and most importantly, the idiot.

Now, driven by nothing but instinct, Grignr sets sail across the Sea of Ghosts to build his dynasty and construct a legacy for the ages!

  1. Remember to make your culture native to Solthsteim, since thats the goal for the playthrough. (And also to sacrifice any elves that you capture for piety, gotta get that dragon somehow)

    You could give a domain to your wife, since theyre soulmates.

  2. A Gret Grignr evening to you too Samuel. A loyal subject could is the best decision if you end up picking vassals. It would also help if they have good stewardship incase you wish to truly carve out grignr kingdom in the north.

    I highly recommend taking back some of winterhold too. It is your for the taking Grand Admiral. They are like flies to be swathed from your path. Choose the weakest of them and swallow their islands.

  3. Dont forget that you can revoke Baronies for no tyranny whenever. Giving away cities until you have enough domain to hold it again later as the character or an heir is always good.

  4. The dynasty legacy that gives you more chance of reinforcing congenital traits isn't important. It only increases the chance that if two people with like hale marry they might have a child with robust instead of just hale. That's nice but it's pretty limited how often you'll actually get the same trait marrying together. Then the chance of reinforcing is already 50%, and with how the other modifiers in that path work, I'm pretty sure that means it goes from 50% to 65%. It's +30% of the existing chance.

    So it helps 15% of children of parents with the same genetic trait get a better version of the trait.

    Considering not a single Grignr has married someone with the same genetic trait as them, I don't think you really need this one.

  5. Several times you've bought new men at arms immediately before using them. They start out at 5/100 soldiers. You really shouldn't buy them directly before a war they don't do anything but add upkeep costs.

  6. If you give away that city give it to whoever has the highest stewardship or martial, depending on whether you want more money or troops from it. Alternatively, give it to a male Grignr who can take some concubines and make some more little Grignr's.

    Reply
  7. Each point of martial gives +1 advantage. So +5 advantage is better than +3 martial. The exception is that +3 martial also increases levy size. So I imagine there's some level where even if you're leading troops, the extra levies are more valuable than the +2 advantage.

    But also if you're not leading the army yourself then the +5 advantage does nothing.

    Reply
  8. Perhaps Grignr should challenge the person who tried to kill him as he is one of the strongest fighters alive. There is also a point to be made that Grignir knows who is trying to kill him so it would be in character for Grignir to challenge this person to a duel.

    Reply
  9. I think Grings dynasty would take anyone concubine was it human or non human. If your not genius trait or smart then that gringr would say your not human i dont marry you.
    Bu tthis series is so fun you will never know what happens nextXD

  10. I dont know how it happens, but every single time ive had a day off and was looking forward to rimrim or grignr, Mr. Sam also manages to catch a break the exact same days, astonishing, love the content tho dont overwork yourself king <3 (as if)

    Reply
  11. You should spend some gold to recruit buccaneers and folk to your court. Its a good way to expand out your list of eligible marriage candidates, and you'll often get people with great marshal.

  12. 54:32 – The only way to defeat House Hlalu is to fight them when they're at war, and preferably attrition them out a bit. Big armies lose a lot of men to attrition and dragon priests are really really OP, so make sure you max those out before you attack Hlalu.

    Reply
  13. Siege tip: when the ladder pops up on the siege symbol this means the walls are breached and on the battle panel you can "assault fort" costs alot of men but sieges way faster, may have saved that war.
