#crusaderkings3 #ck3

Can you do a guid for KHAZARIA
Please make Star Wars religion mod. I have absolutely no idea how to play it properly😀
700 hours in ck3 and I'm still watching beginner tips
1100 and I’m here
@@TheFinnfluencer 1500)
I still have no idea what I’m doing
@@undercover9515 Just relax and play game!
The game keeps changing drastically with every major update
I really wanna understand this game since my first character decided to duel his wife to death for cheating on him with literally everyone in my council
😂
BIG TIP!!!! If you want to max the amount piety in any pilgrim just customize your travel route and make it really long, try visiting as many "special sites" and capitals as you can. it will increase the piety events and when you reach your pilgrimage you will be already level 4.
Make sure your regent is a loyalist beforehand tho
My tip: give extra land to people with traits such as content, craven, etc. Never give them to people with traits such as ambitious, arrogant, etc.
Tip #1: don’t EVER trust the HRE as reliable allies
Joining the HRE is at least a good deterrent from neighboring Kingdoms/Duchies from attacking you, and once you get large enough, you fight for independence or dissolution
The Byzantines aren’t very good allies, either. You will get involved in multiple civil wars.
*don't ever trust the ai will be reliable allies
I always make sure the HRE gets balcanized
Byzantium isn’t good in 867 they are as they easily become powerful but in 1066 they will lose Armenia and get involved in many civil wars weakening them
Tip number 26. Your AI allies have mush for brains and will sometimes throw a war by not following you into battle!
Or the pope when they launch a crusade 😂😭 and kill half the crusaders off with attrition
Idk I’ve usually had them do a pretty good job. Maybe 1/10 times they don’t follow up.
That seems very realistic tho?
no. why would your allies just abandon you in a easily winnable combat situation.. unless they are not truly your ally and support the other side. @@ElderGod4
@@alejandrocortes3341 well yes theres a bunch of reasons why they wouldnt. Yet im highly doubtful said reasons are actually coded in the game and its not a bad deicision due to bad ai
I wouldn’t really recommend giving up house seniority for council rights. If you are a duke vassal, give you liege more taxes, take the march contract, and get council rights. The march contract cuts the taxes you pay in half and gives your castles a bigger garrison.
Just started my first playthrough and I am just absolutely lost on what to do first lol
This ain’t the video for you. I have over 400 hours and I don’t know what he’s talking about half the time. I think he’s trolling by calling this a “beginner” video 😂
Agreed! This is at best a “new-ish” player tips video.
Think of it as dynasty simulator over everything else. If you don't have landed dynasty member you lose. Developing a country is secondary. Unfortunately CK3 obfuscates a lot of inheritance, succession, and research mechanics compared to CK2; the first two are the core fundamentals for a dynasty simulator. But the mechanics are still properly there and not toned down, just hidden. You could try out CK2 and then once you get a hang you can do CK3. CK2 is free iirc.
Another begginers tip One of the best war strategies you can use in CK3 is to leave besieging armies in case you're fighting someone weaker than you. Most domains need around 300 to 400 levies to be sieged. So if you have 1300 troops and you're enemy around 800 for example, you can leave 300 soldiers in a siege while you use the rest to bully your enemy's army into oblivion. For quick wars you must look forward not only into occupying territory, but also winning battles and this method aims to do both. Late game you'll often find yourself fighting stupid conflicts against bullshit rebelions or unprotected small foes and the longer you'll spend time in those wars the more money it will cost you. Just be careful not to leave your besieging armies unprotected, it's easy to manage this strategy early on, but late in game you can develop it into leaving 4 or 5 besieging armies while you use 3 ou 2 main ones to hunt down your enemies, and at this point you need to really be careful to not make your troops sitting ducks.
mate have you got any suggestions on what game seetings and perks ect to start with for a noob
6:32 At the moment I play as Ashari ruler and I get very frustrated when my bishop (can't remember relevant muslim title name) has low learning and I can't just replace him because of Ashari doctrines. But I've found a solution. I give him barony-tier church and then revoke it. That way he got replaced with a new guy. Haven't tested it with Catholics but I assume it will work the same way. Also if you are Catholic and on good terms with Pope or have hook on him you can ask Pope to excommunicate your bishop so he will become a criminal and you can imprison him. This is also great way to make a lot of coins because bishops amass thousands of gold and have no heir so if you banish them you'll get all money he has.
Just some feedback as a brand new player, I have no idea what any of this means and less idea where to find any of it. I played as Angermanland in 867 and was in debt and lost all control of a conquered county by the end of the second year. I’m not gonna play on anything less than normal bc I don’t want to get used to the crutches

Thanks 😊
Defender advantage is not necessarily given to the owner of the county. It can still be given to the attacking army if they aren't currently besieging a holding.
so similar to eu4?
why are you shouting ?
Grand tours? ive never seen that option is that in a dlc or something? new player btw
Snap playin' Crusader Kings 4
This answered a lot of questions. I love CK3, however it is the one game I play the worst.
Somehow I managed to survive from 867 to the Late Medievals, and my Family is wildspread as wildspread it can be. In the main family there are 226 members and also have 23 cadet branch. I really don't know how happened but I survived the centuries (this is my first time as an emperor, 🙃modified my culture 3 times,🤑 changed the succession laws to primogeniture 😍) I have a ton of money 120K gold and even all my 140K armies are standing the monthly income is 456. It seems I just found out how playing tall works. Though my biggest problem is the Empire vs Empire wars. My main title is the French Emperor, and the HRE and Al-Andalus are the biggest thorns under my fingernails. Both the Sultan and the Kasier has similar strength than mine, however somehow they overpower me all the times after 1-1,5 years. There are 300-500K armies in both side and to me it is impossible to win the biggest battles, my vassals and allies are somehow ineffective, when i charge to battle even to a smallest they left their sieges and lost their progress. Ok i understand they adore my charismatic, diplomatic character but sigh. It seems every siege must complete by my secondary trebuchet&levies armie. Do i need to chase them all the time with my main army or what? I think the HRE can be claimable through election and a strong intrique character, and murder all other candidates. And after that Al-Andalus. Against them i have a De Jure Barcelona wargoal but cannot use the Holy War against Kingdom option, though they are muslims and French is catholic. Even the pope's crusade failed against them.
You cant holy war iberia due to the iberian struggle. You can demand a hostage from them in a war tho, then convert them, and if you get a perpetual hook, recruit him to your court then fight for his claim. He'll be your vassal provided you dont claim the empire title but just a kingdom instead
@@battlez9577 Well i find out in the end. XD I've befriended the cousin of the sultan and invited him to my court then conquered all of hispania for him. The HRE crumbled after I dejure take bavaria from them, then polland bite out a huge part of them.
Create better armies and utilize knights, have your marshal train commanders too. The game gets ridiculously easy
Iam a beginner i find it already hard to get from earl to duchy
I miss these types of videos. I'd love to see more on some more detailed specifics with the mechanics in the game.
Just don’t call it “For Beginners”
@@bmarsh2282 Fair enough.
Epic !
Dude can you slow down, you sound like you just had 10 coffes and 5 redbull all at the same time 🤣🤣 had to play it 0.75 speed xD
This is a video on how to game the mechanics of CK3. It makes the game less fun and it’s scummy imo
for real lol
you should try three kingdom dynasty
I like the way you frame the map to not show the last three letters in CUMANS.
Do you have to talk like that through the entire video
Day 1 of asking to play as the avars in ck3
Epic thumbnail
Irrelevant question, but would an i7-13700HX run this game pretty well without performance issues late game?
Yes, probably could run 2 copies of the game at the same time 😂
Nice tips eventho i can't use some because i dont want to pay $60 for the 2 main DLCs
Save 10 dollar a month bro
@@livresse7you didnt read the comment did you
@@BoshyG save $10 a month, after 6 months he can buy the dlc, I mean $10 a month is nothing really, you can spend more money than that just by buying cigarettes and soda, wich are harmful to your health, so why don't buy the dlc...
@@livresse7 again you didnt read the comment
@@BoshyG ......
I’m just getting started following the tutorial, and I need someone to be honest…is this game as hard as it seems lol

I love the game but i dont understand how i cause war do i have to claim the land and spend 70 gold to can click on declare war other wise it Will dat need casus beli
Quit yapping
Im 10 hours in and I still dont know wtf I am doing.. Lmao
Ima be honest I went on xbox played bohemia tried to kill someone then died like 5 times lol
Look into if the target has Vigilant buff. If you or someone else's scheme was revealed trying to take out the target, the target becomes nearly immune if you don't have intrigue focus
@@HolyRamanRajya lol thanks but ive play since it came out nice for the helpful advice but i played the game to death 8000~hours
i have 500 hours but still watching this bc ily
Just put people of your own culture there and deal with popular revolts
How do I accept an invitation? I got two hunting invitations but when I click them I can’t join them or I can’t find the way to accept them
If you have the tours and tournaments dlc you should have a beaker symbol on the right side of your screen. There you can start hunts and the likes. You should also be able to join events there too
@@gijskramer1702 thank you
Bad wording on the 20th, it only applies if there is a castle
Can you get rid of your bishop without murdering him?
Depends on faiths doctrine, if it is revocable, then yes. Or you can try to murder him 😏. I like to play with pagan faiths since then I can choose virtues and stuff when I reform it. :)

What do you even do if you don't want to do wars ? Scheming takes 4 months per scheme, feels like nothing happens for MONTHS.
Is this game worth it? I mainly play eu4 but I understand these two games are pretty different
Imperator Rome is closer to EU4 bc CK3 leans into the roleplay side more than the grand strategy one.
as a relative beginner of both, i’d say CK3 is more diplomatic-based and roleplay-based, what with its actual characters and vassals. if you want to chart an unforgettable story for a dynasty, rather than a country, CK3 is your game.

It's so weird seeing a Christian with the background of kabba
I love Stellaris and Total War, so I tried out CK3, and it was just too complicated and boring. Maybe if I play with mods or something.
im arcanes friend
This game is so hard! I did the tutorial and i cant even take ireland! I need money! And more troops! Fast! Not waiting till my son is king before i have sufficient gold to build up my military! Help 😢🙏
Focus on domain limit. It used to be called demesne in CK2. Go for steward focus to hold more counties and other physical holdings directly and ensure you have good county control. Money would easily reach +10 per month. When you're starting off, prioritise having counties with more buildings already constructed, and grant the few building counties to someone else if you cross the demesne limit. Troops is slightly complex, read each retinue on what they counter and prioritize having more counter variety than strengthening only one type. You could win with a good commander with this spread against an enemy army 125% your army.
I cant reform my culture, is it a DLC?
Nope just some in-game conditions.
@@xk1390very specific.
I bought this game some time ago but I still couldnt learn it. how did you guys learn to play this game? its extremely complex, even comparing to civ6.
I'd say it's the easiest to learn game in the whole paradox catalog. The tutorial is also pretty good for a strategy game and I would recommend you to replay it if you still can't figure out some of the basics. Also, as a beginner, try to take things more like The Sims than HOI4. By that I mean, try to focus less on world domination and more on playing tall and building a family. That's because CK3 is much more enjoyable if you focus more on the roleplay element. You can have a lot of fun and create many intricate stories just by playing as a bottom of the barrel count. Oh, and don't forget to always leave the tooltip on! It also does a good job at explaining stuff.
ItalianSpartacus on here has helped hella
Civ 6 is more complex. Ck3 is the easiest PDX game.
Try out CK2, it has better tutorial and has core fundamental mechanics upto your face while CK3 obfuscates the same mechanics a lot.
You need to SLOW DOWN man! Nobody that wants the information is going to leave because you’re speaking at a normal human pace. I had to rewind at least 20 times just to hear and comprehend what you were saying becauseitwassofastIcouldhardlytellonewordfromthenextsometimes! Also, this is *DEFINITELY* not a “for beginners” video. At *best* you could call it “25 tips for semi-experienced players (100-400 hrs in). There’s some decent information, but not cool to be misleading. A “for beginners” video would be more like, basic, “how to” or “where to find” type things. How to get started, what to avoid in the first generation or two… that sort of thing. Not trying to be a hater, as a brand new player though, I’m just disappointed and confused by 80% of the content and 95% of the presentation. Food for thought, meant to be constructive criticism so I hope you don’t take it badly. You have a lot of knowledge of the game so it could definitely help *actual beginners* if you focused it on very early game/mechanics/general tips.
Surprised theres still so many exploits in the game.
'promo sm'
I'd like it if you can revive the Waldensians. Read up about them, they were all diplomatic around France and never committed any offensive wars etc. Here's a bit about them: The Waldensian Christian movement originated in France during the 12th century. The main principle behind the movement is asceticism, which means its followers were to follow Christ in poverty and simplicity, living a simple life with little comfort. The name of the movement has many variations.
so basically I did anything wrong
Was about to buy this game but it declined cuz i had 0.00$ in my card😭😭. Guess ill stick to ck2 for now
Day 3 of suggesting for your next series to play as a Jewish character and reform Israel
annoying
