the mongols were a beast in CK2, less so in CK3. the Horse Lord expansion hasn't dropped yet, and that pretty much determines if they are a threat that punches above their weight or below it. currently they are tough due to numbers, so if you have anywhere close to the same numbers you can curb stomp them. they get a bunch of troops that do not need supply, which has a decent amount of horse archers. horse archers are the toughest light cav, and the second strongest light cav. they are weak compared to heavy cav or heavy infantry, but if they win they cause a ton of casualties. since a lot of players cheese the retreat mechanics, losing a battle to whittle down the numbers of the enemy until they can defeat it the mongols are insanely powerful against such players. the empire really needs to get a foothold due to the lack of Horse Lords DLC to be any sort of threat, but after a couple of generations the empire breaks up on its own and you can gobble it up piece meal. this means that it is more of a speed bump to cheesers than a real threat.

@@Strat-Gaming you did pretty good for a newer player, much better than most players out there unless they are hardcore veterans of CK2. there is a trait called "Greatest of all Khans" which makes light cav and horse archers act as half an onager each. you can get this trait if you are a mongol and get enough land while still being tribal, which is usually how people speed run the game (not this one specifically since you have to be tribal with a ton of land which is hard, relative to other paths). there are a lot of variables to plot, so next speed run i would pick one variable you think would give a big edge and figure out how to stack that to ungodly proportions.

Nice, my strategy was a bit different. I captured constaninople and Sardinia to get a huge income and a gold mine, used norse culture to hybridize with greek culture, reformed my religion and ended up with: 1. Me being a head of the state everyone pays indulgence to. That's how I ended up with infinite money 2. Top tier techs 3. Cataphracts steamrolling everything. 4. A dynasty that is almost guaranteed to inherit all positive traits (used moderate incest to reinforce some traits, creating a race of gigachads). So, I had a slower start, but from then on just steamrolled the whole game. Sadly, after I declared a crusade myself, all of my vassals were called into a war and the game ran at one day per minute, so I had to end the run.

I know a lot of people just play to have fun, so it's a pretty inefficient way to learn (acceptable since it's just for fun). For me, I love to study and collect data which cuts the learning curve by a lot. It's especially true for these games with long-term feedback loops (50 hours for a campaign is a LONG time to learn a hard lesson lol)

Dude my thoughts exactly. This is the kind of man who should be famous. Much love and good luck SG. NEED more of this.
the mongols were a beast in CK2, less so in CK3. the Horse Lord expansion hasn't dropped yet, and that pretty much determines if they are a threat that punches above their weight or below it. currently they are tough due to numbers, so if you have anywhere close to the same numbers you can curb stomp them. they get a bunch of troops that do not need supply, which has a decent amount of horse archers. horse archers are the toughest light cav, and the second strongest light cav. they are weak compared to heavy cav or heavy infantry, but if they win they cause a ton of casualties. since a lot of players cheese the retreat mechanics, losing a battle to whittle down the numbers of the enemy until they can defeat it the mongols are insanely powerful against such players. the empire really needs to get a foothold due to the lack of Horse Lords DLC to be any sort of threat, but after a couple of generations the empire breaks up on its own and you can gobble it up piece meal. this means that it is more of a speed bump to cheesers than a real threat.
Interesting, I was wondering why they were able to speed through the mountains in large numbers lol that makes sense now. They were easy to fight against, but holy crap their siege speed was FAST! That's a good point since they have a ton of pursuit. Thanks for watching, hopefully I didn't make a fool of myself on my first CK3 video (the beginner's guide doesn't count... lol)
@@Strat-Gaming you did pretty good for a newer player, much better than most players out there unless they are hardcore veterans of CK2. there is a trait called "Greatest of all Khans" which makes light cav and horse archers act as half an onager each. you can get this trait if you are a mongol and get enough land while still being tribal, which is usually how people speed run the game (not this one specifically since you have to be tribal with a ton of land which is hard, relative to other paths). there are a lot of variables to plot, so next speed run i would pick one variable you think would give a big edge and figure out how to stack that to ungodly proportions.
@@jamoecw interesting that you bring that up, I was considering a Tribal only WC run but then dealing with unhappy vassals is quite a task lol
@@Strat-Gaming typically tribal conquests are done with the norse or african tribals. the africans have mines to help with money and norse can raid. once you get going it should be pretty easy since prestige makes people like you and tribals are all about prestige.

@@Strat-Gaming Oof, Delightful. Subbed to keep track of it, then!
I'm sure Zieley would be proud. From the videos I've watched of his the mongols do have one of the best units the horse archer which has a high pursuit stat to kill off more troops when they are routed. I've never played though because this game looks like a lot of brain power.
It's a really fun game, but you're right about the learning curve - it's quite steep. If you have a few dozen hours to learn it, then I think it's worth it. But for a casual game, it's definitely not worth it lol Back when I was working 14 hour days, I wouldn't have played this because it would have taken me over a month just to learn wth is going on lol
Could u do with other paradox games? I think a lot of mount and blade players are also paradox game enjoyers. You cover a good niche here. I never played ck 3, yet here i am, enjoying this vid :D (+ nice memes :D)

Nice, my strategy was a bit different. I captured constaninople and Sardinia to get a huge income and a gold mine, used norse culture to hybridize with greek culture, reformed my religion and ended up with: 1. Me being a head of the state everyone pays indulgence to. That's how I ended up with infinite money 2. Top tier techs 3. Cataphracts steamrolling everything. 4. A dynasty that is almost guaranteed to inherit all positive traits (used moderate incest to reinforce some traits, creating a race of gigachads). So, I had a slower start, but from then on just steamrolled the whole game. Sadly, after I declared a crusade myself, all of my vassals were called into a war and the game ran at one day per minute, so I had to end the run.
Ouch! It surprised me how slow the game ran at times given my PC's specs. I'm not sure if it's not optimized or it's just too big for it's own good lol. That's a solid strategy you laid out.

Btw troop count doesn't matter because of the way battle mechanics work. You can stack men at arms and knight bonuses and an army of 1000 can stack wipe a 10k strong levy army. Even early game an army of 2k huskarls can defeat anything.
Does it have to do with combat width? I've got thousands of hours into EU4 and I'm familiar with it in that game, but wasn't aware it was in CK3 as well (assuming it is). Thanks for the heads up!
@Strat-Gaming I'm not sure how the combat actually works. I think it is more like HOi4 naval combat there is a screening unit, a unit that attacks, and then in the late battle you have a pursuit stat that determines how many casualties the enemy takes. From my personal experience it seems that removing levies from an army makes it better even when it means you have less troops. I think there is combat width
Impressive efficiency.

Thanks for watching!
Impressive, I've learned 2 things watching your video. 1st is that I can kill my mediocre sons by sending them alone to the enemy. 2nd is that I can expect less rebellions if I choose lazy content dukes.
Thanks for watching! I did a video on my guides channel on this campaign where I covered a lot more details (it's about 90 minutes with timestamps). I ended up cutting most of the info here because it was more for entertainment and story. Thanks for watching!
Just goes to show that it’s not just the hours, it’s the knowledge that you gain in those hours lmao. In what could take a thousand hours of more manual trial and error to slowly learn the game, you can accomplish in much less by simply understanding the maths and data that make the spreadsheet go brrrrrrrrrr.
Haha I love that line "Spreadsheet go BRRRrrrR" - It's a great point. Reminds me of a quote I heard from a concert pianist - "practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect". I know a lot of people just play to have fun, so it's a pretty inefficient way to learn (acceptable since it's just for fun). For me, I love to study and collect data which cuts the learning curve by a lot. It's especially true for these games with long-term feedback loops (50 hours for a campaign is a LONG time to learn a hard lesson lol)
11:03 Ash'ari baltics and finland is just so cursed
Lol yeah they spread all over somehow! I'm wondering if one of my vassals hired them as their vassals for some reason??
You should drop a video on all the data.
I'm working on 2 videos covering this campaign and the database actually! :D
@@Strat-Gaming I am wondering, was is it formulated like some kind of Linear Programming problem 😅or how did you find all that nifty combinations 😂
Will you make your database available to the public? Thanks
Yeah I'm trying to get it hosted on my website, but I'm having issues integrating Notion there, so I might just have to let people copy it and use their own Notion database for it. If I can't get it working soon, I'll just make a video on how to use Notion and the database together.
Love it.
Thanks!
Now you should make a surviving cancer run where you start as a single spot
The end was peak
Now i understand, you are not a human being, you are some self sustaining artificial intelligence in some quantum computer.....
Lol all I can say is I'm not governed by TW maths :D
Is there any way you would considere sharing your spreadsheet about the bonuses?
It's in the works! Sorry for the delay, I usually just post them on my discord but I'm trying to build out my website to host all the data and guides (should be easier to find). My web dev is working on the database as we speak, so as soon as it's done I'll make a post!
@@Strat-Gaming amazing! Thanks for the heads up and also for your work! Great vid!
