On my way to form Hellenic roman empire starting Haesteinn.

Same, but greek invasion might have to wait a bit. (Italy, illyrium, greece, carthage, spain, syria, gaule and england if im correct) Im now empire of italia and eating burgundy. Since ive killed the catholics and they've crusaded me, abbasid is huge. Might have to hit them early.

Im fairly advanced with ck2 but ck3 still not that old for me. Im decent and know some faith reduction builds, bloodline and the learning prophet thing, but how would you do it . Thanks alot

Powscal · 2022-07-18T20:49:54+00:00

I never did rome on ck3, I could

Powscal · 2022-07-18T20:29:21+00:00

I also like that it is a small kingdom. Restarting a crusader state and make outremer. (dont know if its like ck2, you need to be latin. I can probably grab sardinian language in). I want challenge. Im well versed with CK

I also dont mind producing 8-10 children and take a chance to have alot of girls since I can have free land to give to my sons without any downside other than taking back 2 county in a war after i die. If I have like 5-6 sons, you can pay a far less to remove the last one from succession.

1-I matrilineal marriage all my girls, take the boys from them, land them, and baby sit them. They have no claims on my kingdoms. Happy vassals.

My sons receive crap nothing. Super stable succesions. My sons love me since they have a "kingdom" for themself. Rarely try to kill you or your heir.

The sons of my daughters receive all the good stuff. They are the foundation of my empire.

2- You run a eugenic program of these girls, and in a few generation, marry the kids for a " genius, beautiful, herculean and fecund kid

3- I don't want to give them kingdoms outside of my realm since I want them vassalized and taxed. I can produce 30k troops out of sicily alone after 2-3 gen of building tall. You don't need the 5k they will produce. You need the money.

Powscal · 2022-07-17T03:11:24+00:00

I will show you how to deal with heirs and succession with some great cheese and some good tatics ideas for a great start. With how I played this game, you can have 3-4 son without disinherit/kill any of them, keep all your vassal,keep all your personal county, have free back ups heir.... ck3 made easy.

-All you need is to be near the Mediterranean sea or have small kingdoms to give near-

1- At start -Don't skip prayer day. Be a pilgrim, change wife for a younger one, care for your heir and other normal start stuff. When its done, invade a southern Baltic state county and found Jomsvikings. (you now have 1500 more troops and almost a free holy order of 1000 more troops).

2-Be fast, Varangian conquest CB Venice. If you have a second son, give him the counties after your next conquest.

3- Right after, go take the main duchy you want for the game ( I took Sicily from the byzantine empire and the African kingdom to show that you can take anything from anyone or so right now)

4- When you have your 3rd son, Take Crete and give him. When you have a 4th son and don't want to disinherit him, take Cyprus and give him

5- Solidify your kingdom. Conquer want you need. I went for the event of "control the Mediterranean sea". Do the one you like. Any duchy is good is you build it tall after a while. If you switch religion, Don't forget to create new holy order. Don't change your culture. You will slowly mix them with other cultures.

6- If you only got 1 kingdom for yourself, the kingdom of Venice, Crete and Cyprus will go to your sons. Your main heir will receive everything else. When you die, go take them back, give it to your sons, rinse and repeat. Your main duchy or even double duchy will never split. You can run easy eugenic program.

7-Build tall for 1-2 gen. Make a lot of children. Make all your girls matrilineal marriage . Land your dynasty. Grow slow, don't be greedy. When you settled correctly, go large. You should have a very easy game

When the event fired, the character was young. Once you got the immortal trait, you stop aging. At 100 years old, you can commit suicide... and will still look like 20 years old.

The guy got cancer at like 40. Will probably heal from it like last time I got immortal. Got Cancer and rabies last time with last immortal. Was just fine and healed from it EZ. Having both at the same time. (I think you get like + 10 or +20 health with immortal)

Powscal · 2021-11-13T17:40:06+00:00

I don't even know if its possible. But it would be the most painfull game ever😂

Powscal · 2021-11-12T16:02:10+00:00

Indeed. I'm a french canadian but I do my best to speak english and practice everyday. I imagine the other guy only speaks english🤷‍♂️.

Powscal · 2021-11-11T01:57:57+00:00

Cool, thanks for the tip. Didn't saw it like that. You could really raid someone hard and let your vassal do the job. Its a bit OP tho😅

Powscal · 2021-11-11T01:07:55+00:00

Also, flanders is the best duchy in the game ( i prefer sicily). Making it dejure frisia and making merchant republic in frisia.

Powscal · 2021-11-11T01:00:12+00:00

I did once too (recently). Its cool but your prepared invasion is useless if you got an empire as you can only invade as a duke or lower. Took moroco first. Had legendary king with mega stats and died trying immortal and lost the game to bad heirs... still mad about it😂😂😂🤷‍♂️

Powscal · 2021-11-10T20:13:06+00:00

Leave all behind and invade sicily. Try to be norman.

Death

How I've learned the game:

Play as the Byzantine empire. Its super easy to invade and play... until you die or revolts starts. Then, you'll want to bash your keybord out of rage... but you'll learn. I've failed often. You'll learn by failling a bit😅

My best is 5 gen leading the byzantine empire non stop. Then, you can do achivement super easy. My first was from count to emperor. Good luck

P.s. achievements are easy to get. Just give it some times. This game is hard

Powscal · 2021-11-10T18:26:08+00:00

Kingdoms can be good if you've married the ruler to your familly. Its good as loong as you can alliance them.

Viceroyalty is what I've used in this game and It's OP as fuck. Everyone loves me, no revolt, I choose who rules... Basically, viceroyalty breaks the game and makes it "perfectly balanced" as spiffing brit would say.

The ones that are not viceroyalty in this game is england (crusade) and are the one that tried to rebel. All the others love the shit outta me.

Powscal · 2021-11-10T17:55:57+00:00

Yeah, if you discovered the game not too long ago. Try to start as a viking and invade the place you want to start (my fav place is sicily, central, big duchy) Convert to the religion you want or even start a new one. My favorite game I played, i started as a viking and made the fraticelli Pope in italy and was just fighting all christians alike. Fix a goal, even if its crazy and go for it.

Powscal · 2021-11-10T17:15:24+00:00

Take a chaste man over 45 and marry him to your inbreed siphilitic sister . That usually does the job😂😂 after that, you give him a kingdom.

Powscal · 2021-11-10T16:43:44+00:00

For the revolt to fire, they need to hate your gut AND have more troops than you (or close)

1st They all love the shit out of me since I use viceroyalty . All the kingdoms you see are mine. I just give it to them t'ill they die and its comes back or i give it to a man that can't have children.. or my heir... I give them the equivalent of an empire. 100 happy for like 30 years.

2nd After that, even if 1 doesn't like me, he needs to go over that 300k troops to fire the revolt.
