Is the Carolingian Empire generally very stable? And whats the best way to break it up? My Norse Empire keeps getting ripped to shreds by the Empire. First the Emperor declares war, then all of his king vassals declare separate wars, taking huge chunks of land. I simply can't keep up with their doom-stacks. With all of the separate wars, I'm facing nearly 100000 men, with only 17000 of my own.
