Hello, I am total noob at playink CK. There is few questions I want to ask
1. How I can earn gold, I am always losing it
2. How I can hire more army, and how I can provide my army when it's on field and how I can return in to castle?
3. How I can earn more prestige and piety?
4. How I can break from kingdom and make my own kingdom?
 
Im new too but ill try to help.
1. Gold i think depends on the province income, improvements and research level.
2. You dont hire an army, the army is slowly built in each demense, which youcan mobilize in times of war but at a great cost on your gold.

The other two question i cant answer. Hope it helps.
 
I'll answer what I can:

1. Get a good steward. Don't pay army maintenance except when they are fighting or moving outside your home territory.

2. The size of your regiments is based on the economic wealth (or poverty!) of that province. If you have vassals, their regiments' size is affected by how much scutage you charge them. You can disband a regiment at any time and it will return to its home province.

3. Your ruler's piety and prestige will change a little bit every month due to his traits. But most of the changes in piety and prestige are due to actions and events. You can earn piety quickly by awarding land to a bishop (and a new ruler may need to do this in order to avoid excommunication). You earn a lot of prestige by winning wars and making your enemy give up claims. Over time, you also will earn a lot of prestige from marriages if your family is fertile.

4. If you are a vassal, in time you can make your loyalty decline and then events will allow you to declare independence, either with or without a war against your liege. In either case, though, a war against your former liege is likely. To get a higher title -- Count to Duke, or Duke to King -- you will need to claim the title and then defeat whoever has it. Alternatively, for a title not in use at the moment (like King of Rus or King of Sicily) you need to acquire at least 2/3 of the territory within it and then you can buy the title.

That's partly true. When you have no levies standing, you don't pay army maintenance anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's full or empty. I always leave it at max, no matter what, but that's me.
 
Hello, I am total noob at playink CK. There is few questions I want to ask

The first thing I do is look to see if I have anyone who need to be married. If I have a male ready for marriage then I go to the report screen #5 which tells you available brides. Then I sort on ST which is for stewardship. Then, if the male being married is 16, I sort by age and try and get the highest ST on a 16 year old available female for marriage and propose that marriage to the owner of the fief she is in. Sometimes, at the beginning of a game, you need to wait a few years so that the characters can have their traits go up so you can find a good steward. This can drastically add extra income for you.

Then, fief-wise, the first thing I try to build is a forestry or whatever it is for 100 gold. I keep repeating this as money becomes available. I also keep repeating trying to find high stewardship ratings for potential brides.



2. How I can hire more army, and how I can provide my army when it's on field and how I can return in to castle?

This has already been answered somewhat.

3. How I can earn more prestige and piety?
You usually get a small amount per month of each without doing much. But, eventually, you'll need to probably get it up to +1.0 or better per turn. This can be done by acquiring titles. Also, creating titles can add much prestige to you. Creating a a title of king for yourself creates a lot of prestige. Sometimes gaining prestige is as easy as eliminating the negative effects on your prestige, like a son that is of age and landless.

4. How I can break from kingdom and make my own kingdom?
I'm not sure how to do it on your own, but there are events that ask you if you want to break away. These happen pretty often if you keep doing things that hurt your loyalty. Sometimes you get an event to lower loyalty by scheming against your liege. If you keep taking the ones that lower your loyalty, you'll eventually get an event that states, "It is time to break away from your liege." And you can choose to mend your relationship some or go ahead and choose to break away. I got an event that allowed me to break away without bloodshed (if your liege is not willing to fight you to get it back).
