You have to pick a right moment for changing goverment type, otherwise you're gonna cut off your balls. One of main things is gathering tons of gold, since feudals use gold instead of prestige. Plus they make more money at least without having to raid, I'm not sure on how much cash a tribal can earn that way and get better tech, and it seems to me that if you stay tribal through a whole campaign you could basically wind up playing out a New World start in EUIV- except without a whole ocean between you and the guys with better stuff.įor most of times, Feudalism worth it, but, as ppl say, you need to prepare for it. Feudal troops are much better, good enough to win against much larger tribal armies, and as time passes they'll be able to match you in size too. I don't have that much experience with the game, but it seems like tribal really only has advantages early on.

The only thing you have to watch out for is that tribals can grind your morale down during Skirmish phase, so if you don't have enough troops to make it to shock phase with minimal loses, order a retreat once you've dealt a chunk of damage, so you can preserve your morale and grind them down till you can push to shock phase.

In the end, though, I think it's necessary.

Conversion to feudal is hard and you have to plan for it by stockpiling resources. Otherwise you will be the target of endless holy wars and religious unrest sooner or later.
