Britain, even with all the cool stuff CK2+ has added, feels really stale after so many years of not really changing from a gameplay perspective.
But I'm Irish so I always really wanna do new GB playthroughs. Are there any CK2+ compatible mods adding more flavor to GB? Or more conflict than fighting off Vikings? Due to being an island it's just always ended up being way more stable when I play it than it should be I guess
 
There isn't really a problem with GB it's more of a CK2 problem. Internal politics are very very lacking and what GB would benefit from is better internal politics
But - you get better internal politics with CK2+ already. I mean, the factions are pretty fun imo.

Apart from that, I do not know what would specifically make GB more fun. I mean, I just don't see a major thing missing there.
You can go Celtic (religion) if you want, Britain is a good spot for that. But ofc that's alt-history, depends on whether you like that.
 
My biggest issue with GB was always how frequently the AI would create custom kingdoms rather than go for the actual title, leading to annoying, non-de-jure kingdom fragments floating round for decades or even longer.
 
Usually I do an Irish or Welsh start (I do do Celtic every few runs at it as well). It's so much harder to form the De Jure Empire when you don't start with the largest kingdom haha. One time I had to get stuck with Tanistry and then Gavelkind for 200 years before I could keep enough land on one character's lifetime to form it.
 
Could always start in 867 on Ireland, stick sunset invasion on delayed random, and then you know you've only got about 200 years to prep for the Aztec murderhordes. That'll give you something new to work with.
