=== 战争 ===
If you're accustomed to playing as a giant empire, smashing your opponents under massive hordes, you might be heading for a bad time here. Your targets early on are limited to enemies of the faith and counties you have claims on. While it's possible to call all your allies to come to your assistance, the Prestige cost for doing so means you should do so sparingly. Fortunately, Eudes begins with a pair of choice targets right off the bat. Just north of your capitol lies the county of Vendome, held by a count with no other territory. Devour his territory immediately, restoring Control afterwards if needed. Every county under your control is another source of tax income and levies to scare off attackers with, and the sooner you reach maximum size, the better. Your fellow vassals are unlikely to attack you for your territory, but the weaker and less popular you are, the more likely this is to happen.

Most of the other lands you have claims on are controlled by much scarier opponents, but your next target isn't any of them at all. Instead, turn your eyes toward Montaigu, the single county to your west that is held by your rival, Haesteinn. He has a massive army made up of special troops, making him undefeatable in a fair fight and a constant raid threat. Taking his land for your own as soon as possible gets rid of one of the major irritants of this challenge, and thankfully he provides an opportunity to do just that early on.

Soon after the game begins, you'll notice his troops travelling away from his territory. Check his character screen to confirm that he's on an adventuring war against one of the nearby kingdoms. If he manages to win this war, your rival goes from being a dangerous count to a terrifying king, but you can stop this. Watch his war's victory percentage. Once it starts to climb above 0%, he will be fully invested in the war abroad. Take this opportunity to declare a Holy War for his county, then rush in, conquering the place unopposed. With any luck, you'll add his land to yours long before he wins his war and ascends to kinghood. That's ''your'' future job, not his.

Once you've grabbed two additional counties, you may be at your managerial capacity. If you can fit a fifth, look around at other counties you have claims on; you should be able to find several that can be taken, although you might need to call for help from allies and attack together. Either way, once you've gotten all the land you can comfortably hold as a count, let your levies recover to full, make sure your Marshal is increasing your max levy size, and then get ready to become a Duke.
