Often, your dynasty will start as a vassal to a much stronger liege. This 'boss' requires careful diplomacy and strategic maneuvering. Focus on improving your liege's opinion of you, joining factions that benefit your interests (or forming your own if strong enough), and building up your personal power base. Look for opportunities to gain independence through alliances or by exploiting your liege's weaknesses, such as a succession crisis or a major war. Patience is key.
