Castillian Civil War

[Marcus]

Playing an ironman game as Castille and the Civil War disaster has just appeared! Not much on wiki!

What exactly does this entail? Forming Spain? Any tips?

Thanks

Mostly it's just a beatdown of rebels and some flavor.

You'll lose 2 stability, have higher unrest, and you have to choose between supporting Portugal or Aragon candidates.

Both will then get events to tug-of-war you. The one you choose will give you support, while the one you snubbed will send small-ish rebel stacks at you.

Best way to avoid this is by having the Iberian Wedding fire or by destroying/vassalizing Portugal.

Ok thanks and what triggers the Iberian wedding?

Either the rulers of Castile and Aragon have different genders.
Or the AI controlled one (Aragon in your case) has a regency.
Considering how Aragon starts with an ancient ruler and Castile starts with "What are you gonna do, drown me?" Enrique, the latter has a high chance of happening for either side.
