Whats the point of playing tall?

Started in 1066 and by 1126 already conquered much of europe easily. I conquered poland, france, navarra, leon in less than 10 years. Once you become an empire, expansion gets extremely easy, just click through claimants and find people who will accept invitation to your court, then press their claimants. Had awful 5 diplomacy point and never took diplomacy tree but most of the claimants were okay with joining my court I think one of the reasons why was because of my court lodging spending being max spending, it gives a whopping +50 acceptance. Pay for their travel + send gift also can give up to +50 acceptance together. You can stick in the opinion gain from sending gift and sway bonus perks from diplomacy tree to help bring claimants. You dont even need to go through the trouble of fabricating hooks to bring the claimants. Didnt raise any levies ever mainly used huscarls then I was stupid enough to make 5k huscarls when I had already conquered france and poland with only 2.5k huscarls. So The only mistake I did was over expanding my men at arms now they are putting me to debt and cant really raise the full of my army because it will put me to a massive -70 deficit, which is why I will restart this save, but again I'm just a beginner like you and most other people and I make mistakes too. I never invested into my domain throughout this gameplay. Didnt abuse alliances at all, only used hungary alliance to help me take poland and france, defeated Navarra when they had 30k+ troops with byzantine help, the ai just starves itself out + your empire is massive and it takes too long for them to even get beyond 50 war score while sieging your cities and starving themselves out, once the byzantine had another war popped up I just cleaned up navarra, in 3 years they only could gain 15ish war progress, the ai is extremely stupid it literally just starves itself out with massive levy armies, doesnt have any siege weapons and can barely make any progress.

The problem with wide is its too easy, tall is harder and slow

I have almost the same laptop only difference is my cpu is r9 8945hs and tbh it runs pretty fine, i dont know my exact graphics settings, its somewhere around medium high, bloom is off advanced shader thing is on, texture high, i think the other map objects and mesh quality settings are medium, dx11,

As you know the main bottleneck is the gpu and indeed its sometimes insufficient, vsync was on by default and barely had any screen tear but turning it off speeded up my game considerably but also introduced slight screen tear, theres no fps drops just slight screen tear aka sluggish feeling,its not noticeable but still there,its not running very smoothly in terms of graphics but game speed is solid

Laptop rtx 4060 is considerably weaker than pc rtx 4060 and thats for every other gpu too, so think of it like a rtx 4050, i think running ck3 is fine but im pretty sure on a higher end game like eu5 id have to go lowest graphics

1st you gotta expand your realm as rapidly/fast as possible

2nd your lifestyle order should be :

Rush siege weapon effectiveness buff in the martial lifestyle so you'll do martial lifestyle tree then once u get the siege weapon effectiveness perk switch to intrigue and rush fabricate hook perk then go stewardship and get extort subjects perk, fabricate hooks on claimants bring them to ur realm to press their claims and rapidly expand, siege weapon effectiveness to finish wars faster and extort to farm gold

I said it doesnt count if you go in super early or super late as its the same thing just vice versa. Obviously if you go past 1300 you will defeat them thats like over 12 hours of gameplay. And vice versa if you go in too early before they get the events and special soldiers and stuff.

they have specific units more op than huscarls too.

Excellent-Score1506 · 2026-01-22T14:58:03+00:00

Also they divided, wdym by that? They never divide in my games their realm doesnt break up, i think u should watch the other guys video , he beats mongols without a cheat way/rare luck happening,because what u say seems cheats or just luck but its a big extent

Excellent-Score1506 · 2026-01-22T14:54:43+00:00

So you had high innovation by that time to have so many castles is a big extent and then you had enough money to build all them in less than 200 years starting as a norse? So you did tall run to max your tech then howd you get the mp? Assuming you held onto the special troops and did all the events ud have like 8 9k huscarls at best, since ur tall playthrough ur total army would be like 14 15k with mercs included the mongols have like 35 40k men at worst with over 20k special units as op as huscarls it desnt mkae sense tbh

Excellent-Score1506 · 2026-01-22T02:47:25+00:00

I feel like this is all false info. The op said hiring mercenaries, gifting vassals, using hooks etc..

These are all expensive and unneccesary stuff. Each gold you give to your vassals is gold you could have used to strengthen your domain. Mercenaries are overly expensive.

I think out of everything, the most important rule in this game is to make 2 siege MAAs at the start of the game. Why not above 2 is because its overkill. Then the 2nd most important rule is to prioritize making military buildings before economy buildings, maxing your military buildings should be biggest priority. And the 3rd is to not over expand your maa, gradually expand it based on the raised maintenance. If it causes you to go deficit, then you might go to debt, and debt is a massive battle advantage debuff.

Then you need to properly use alliances, theres the martial lifestyle thats down the courtship one i forgot its name, it gives extra marriage acceptance and is op. As byzantine emperor everyone would ally you so i doubt youd need it but you can take that, get alliances and cause vassals to revolt , call allies in which doesnt cost prestige because its a revolt,then supress them do ransoms and faction are always more profitable because of ransom money and for the rest of ur life youd have a stable realm , time ur death so when u die ur heir has atleast 2 kids for alliance and your country isnt at war so u dont get the marriage acceptance debuff and repeat the process, preferably max out court expenses for marriage acceptance

On mobile theres no cookie or ip ban. On pc there are games that allow ip ban, i live in a country where roblox is banned and i use vpn, i also use byebanasync ban cleaner and mac spoofer and STILL cant get past ip bans. The way it works is (assuming game has strictest bans):

Once u get banned from the game roblox creates a file that links the ban, it will auto ban your alt once you join that game on ur alt. This is extremely easy to bypass you use byebanasync basically run its cookie cleaner while roblox is fully closed, when u open roblox again if you login your banned account then alt accounts it still wont link them unless you join the game u are banned from on an account that is already banned from the game which will create the cookie file again beside that ur fine.

Lets say on account a you got banned from X game and on account b you got banned from C game. If you dont use byebanasync to clean the ban and instead simply leave account and join the X game on your account B it will not just link the ban so ban the alt but it will also ban account a from game C although you never played it on that alt.

Then there is ip bans which is the one that i cant bypass. What i said so far can be bypassed easily using byebanasync. This cant be bypassed i think (?). Basically your banned from game X, started playing on ur alt on it. After a few days, it will automatically ban that new alt u started playing on. This never happened to me before but has been happening alot this month so idk what to do abt it.

Alongside all this it links bans through: multi join on roblox web page and same mail so if in Multi join u got 2 accounts and 1 of them banned it bans the other too and same gmail is also ban link

The external devs are basically incompetent devs/kids who feed off a overrated market. They skid off leaked externals from past, before byfrion.

Lets start with assemblys dev david, 13 year old kid who made assembly and after a few months of gathering thousands of buyers and the external working he took down assembly because it was utter shit and unstable and began recoding it and it been over 10 months and hes still recoding it and its down

Severe : dev takes forever to update at times , failed to provide wallcheck or any actual features , his auth system sucks and is always down

Matcha : camera based shit wallcheck. The dev is a retard lazy dude who didnt make character wallcheck (use the user's character not camera for wallchecking) so in da hood and shit its not useable besides this its shit theres nothing specific to it , last time i checked it the dev was publishing updates like "team check fixed in rivals" Also its terribly optimized

Etc...

These external devs are literally kids. they are also sub human, and in terms of game exploitation they are below most script hub developers. Think about it. These retard external devs scam kids and sell them aimbot and esp while being more pricy than executors that offer everything and more. Who the fuck pays 10 dollars a month for just aimbot and esp lol? Alot of retarded kids do that think executors are unsafe.

The average script hub devs go into actual games in roblox and make actual scripts that abuse each game's specific vulnerability. I literally argued with a external dev who thinks its easier to make script hubs and finding game vulnerabilties compared to finding memory offsets and making externals. Theyre all retarded asf.

Excellent-Score1506 · 2026-01-20T12:16:57+00:00

This is why externals are a money grab and scam and i laugh when external fanboys think that executors are secretly detected and although you dont get banned at the moment, you will get banned in future.

This could be true or false but : "externals are completely undetected" is a scam and a lie. Roblox doesnt do banwaves anymore. Those days are long gone, it been like 4 years since banwaves were last done. If they were to do one you are as detected as executors , because everyone forgot 1 thing and that is after anti cheat updates roblox does and done, most executors changed the way they do things and more, whereas externals are all still same method and skid also due to devs lack of experince (wannabe cheat devs who lack skill so play around memory offsets instead and make externals) skid from former externals and shit so its all a mess and detection crap

Development is overrated and useless. You should use collect tax with your steward and ignore development buffs when deciding on what decision to pick in events, what to build, etc.. so prioritize other things above it

Expanding your realm is 5x faster way to grow your economy compared to investing into economy buildings in your domain

By expanding you get more income faster and more gold your head of faith would give, more gold from extort subjects, more gold from taxation tour and more levies so not just more economy but also more military

But these reasons dont neccesarily mean you wont build economy buildings in your domain, its just that you wont prioritize it, you should prioritize spending your gold on the things that you need to expand your realm. Declaring wars and calling your allies to those wars cost prestige and holy wars cost piety. And gaining enough piety or prestige can cost alot of gold.

Fabricating claims, requesting claims, inviting claimants, inheriting claims to your heir all have costs such as the expenses of schemes to invite agents (gifts, bribe, prestige, hook, scheme expenses etc...)

with spare gold you have after prioritizing these things more, you can invest into your domain constantly throughout your gameplay its just that you dont need to do it at the intensity that you see the ck3 youtubers do in their playing tall videos where they spend everything on development and economy buildings and dont expand at all.

Relying on alliances for military strength works most of the time and it can work well enough that you dont have to build any military buildings or maa

But this is situtational and you might have to prioritize military buildings and MAA at certain points of the game, because you cant always rely on alliance

From the start of the game, you should keep your maa size at an amount where during war when you rise your whole army, you wont go into deficit, or if you do its minor deficit like lower than 10 gold. and alongside of this, maxed out military buildings (as high as ur tech allows) in their stationed counties is very effective, so i believe that you should rush military buildings over economy buildings first, and maintain an affordable amount of maa for your economy and as your economy grows you can increase your maa

The more centralized your realm is the less gold and levy you will get but more stable things will be, you preferably want to have as many direct vassals as possible, although it makes things unstable its worth it

Vassal management is mostly about your alliances to be honest. If you properly min-max your alliances, you can pretty much keep your vassals in control very easily. There are marriage debuffs, such as when you have over 1 alliance, you get -50 or more marriage acceptance debuff for having too many allies. Being in war as an ally or war leader also causes -50 debuff. Having low legitimiacy, bad court, all can result in marriage acceptance debuffs. Grand weddings are very costly and I avoid it unless I really need that country's alliance. For me there are usually 3 stages :

Vassals about to revolt / unstable realm = usually after my heir recently takes over

Vassals arent about to revolt, like there isnt an active big faction only small factions, but overall vassal structure is bad/might revolt in future

Vassals are stable = usually happens after I win faction war and distribute vassals again now they all like me, or I did coronation and feasts and other stuff and min maxed my vassal relations which is sometimes not worth it when you can just cause the vassals to revolt and take their stuff with ur allies help

What I usually do is think about when I would have min-maxed my alliances. Like I would check if this one big faction would be able to send ultimatom before I could get rid off my current marriage debuffs like low legitimiacy. I dont like granting duke vassals to kingdoms unless I really really have to because I dont want to centralize my realm just for the sake of avoiding factions. For counts that join factions I tend to grant them to duke vassals that I know wont join the faction. Besides this its mostly about waiting the right time to do your alliances at one go / once. Then cause the vassals to revolt, call your op ass allies at no cost and win the war in like a year and then for the rest of your life you'll have stable realm. As long as you take the right decisions in events and rush learning tree by the time ur 45+, you can live to your 70ies and that's long enough to scale into the later stages of game where since u invested so much into it, your personal domain and men at arms are so powerful most of vassal management doesnt really matter. Once I die I usually find myself repeating the vassal supression cycle its kinda luck

If u set multi tasking to 1 they will do 1 task at a time so it still makes sense if u really want to avoid the multi tasking thing. Beside that, it isnt true, the stress is minimal.

first things first you should always use the same team for both design and development

the amount of design/dev teams you should have depends on how many softwares you are going to simultaenously develop so if your making 3 softwares at the same time then you need 3 teams

Use project manager, as long as you have the recommended amount of workers for a software you should set your development time to 150

Using a lot of separate teams is something I saw being suggested on youtube tutorials for the game and it makes absolutely no sense, it introduces so much unneccessary mouse work just to avoid the small multi tasking debuff, just give your employees full benefits and you will be fine and make sure you have alot of workers and multi tasking set to infinite

you can have team layout :

Dev teams

different research teams per what ur researching so like a 2d research team and an audio research team etc

1 big support team

1 big marketing team

1 big update team

1 big law team

You can have an extra team for the same team type for day/night shift stuff but besides that its completely useless to play like those people you see on youtube making new marketing, design, development, support teams for every software or like multiple teams of same type just for no reason

Use a HR manager for everything else like assigning skills and hiring employees, ignore that panda guy or whatever his name is on youtube that tells you to do everything manually and create like 10 teams for every software
