I also own all DLCs, so if you miss any of the dlcs, and something from this guide does not work for you, it is probably because you are missing certain DLC. It works, but it won't be included in this guide.
I won’t write here about North Korea mode, it is a style of play I don’t like and never played it.
I decided it's time to update my very old guide, some things stayed the same, some completely changed, overall in my opinion tribals are even stronger than they were before. I still love tribals, they are very flexible, and allow us to play in many, many ways. Hello! Many things has changed with Holy Fury DLC and tribal government is one of these things.
I wish the solution they implemented wasn't so oppressive though, now it's not viable to hold any holdings above your limit. Now North Korea mode, that was an exploit. If you adopt Merchant Repbic now the four compiting famillies will only have their family palace. Conquer the land you need/want, become a King or Emperor, then go North-Korea mode (take all the land for yourself) or take as much land for yourself and grand all your duke or count vassals independence.
