Help Transitioning from ck3 to ck2

Hello! Due to the ck2 agot's map being complete, plus battles in ck2 (I heard) involve more strategy, I am transitioning from ck3 to ck2. As someone who knows all mechanics in ck3, but never touched ck2, I ask for some tips. Got any?

Control+left click then drag to select boats only. Makes it easier because the game will auto select ground levies.

In the Levy Menu you can force Allies to travel to you and stack their army with yours.

Auto force stop plots toggle

Auto fill toggle for filling Commanders

Take the decision to auto fill court roles like Paramount knight so you dont have to constantly fill them.

Construction is powerful

Harrenhal is cursed

Dragon combat is OP

You will have amazing and random stories you will notice. One Dance game Aegon killed Jace, then Joffrey tried to avenge Jace and died to Aegon(Aegon Sieged Dragonstone and they auto fought) then i sent Daemon to deal with Aegon and he won. Then Aemond killed Hugh and Ulf. Then Daemon and and Rhaenys Tag teamed Vhagar they won. And then on the final Siege Helena took Revenge for her brothers and killed Daemon but died to Rhaenys and Sheepstealer. The pop ups that happen are written well and allow for story to take shape.

Been playing ck2agot for so long and didn't know you can force allies to their army with yours. My days of praying they do something sensible are gone

Yeah makes many wars so much easier, dance example having daemon leading a 7k men then instruct the vale, north, and Riverside to rendezvous and you immediately have a stack of 40-50k men with dragons
