On a plus note, I've downloaded the June patchm, and I think I'm going to rev things up. I'm thinking about playing this tiny, independant county near the tip of Italy named Salerno. You're up against the Byzantines, The Papacy, various larger Italian factions, and routes of expansion up the Italian Peninsula will result in massive Catholic Wars while going south sees naught but major swaths of Islamic land, including an Islamic Sicily if I rememebr the map correctly.

Salerno is an excellent starting point if you're just getting into counties because a) it's independant, so no stolen sieges by lieges and b) the shiekdoms in Sicily are all independant as well, so it's a good point for expansion in the early going.
