When you're tribal, you'll be basically the strongest high chief around due to the empty holding slots. It's a 4 county duchy, with a total of 22 holding slots, all coastal. Personally, I prefer the duchy of Holstein, which is part of Saxony or Denmark depending on your start date. All your counties are coastal, and you're likely going to be a norse pagan so other norse pagans are unlikely to raid you. However, they're both single county duchies so you won't get much of a levy bonus from having your capital there, not to mention the Isle of Man only has three holdings.Īs others have mentioned, Denmark is a very good place to set up a merchant republic. So the best locations for a merchant republic is going to be the trade zone around Venice and the one around the Isle of Man. So having 10 trade posts in the same sea zone is better than 10 trade posts in 3 connected sea zones, which is much better than having 10 trade posts in 10 distant unconnected sea zones. IIRC, you earn more money from tradeposts when they're in the same sea zone instead of spread out. The Crimea area (Kingdom of Taurica pre-M&M patch) is all coastal and could be a really good location to set up, but you'd be limited trying to get out into the Mediterranean without using a lot of city conquests. Also fits as an awesome location RP wise. I think Tangiers is a solid location, and Duchy, if you want to go that route. If you're looking to just roll as a Viking and invade somewhere, I'm not as sure what would be ideal I mostly look at tribal starts. Small duchy but a lot of counties touching your home zone there too. Rostock (Rastoku?) in Mecklenburg is a decent spot with a few holdings and a good home zone.
A lot of base holdings and a ton of coastal provinces in your home zone.
Ulster is a good duchy for it too.ĭenmark. Dublin is nice if you just want to make a MR as the King of Ireland, for example. There are some decent counties nearby that also fit depending on what your plan is. It's Welsh, Tribal, 1 province Duchy with a TON of coastal provinces touching it's home zone.
