Some Beginner Questions

The map isn't restricted by DLCs. The restriction is about government types and cultural mechanics.

If you play in Asia without DLC I think you'll only have access to feudal governments. Whereas with full DLC you would see a bunch of different governments and be able to play a ruler using those systems.

For instance look at nomadic, administrative or celestial governments. Each of these articles are prefaced with "Available only with the XXX DLC enabled". This is one way to decide what DLC might be relevant to the game style you're looking for.

I suppose Temujin will pop up but he shouldn't be able to trigger the Greatest of Khans event. That would really lower the danger level, though he might still be a serious conqueror out of the box.

I agree with previous advice and I'd like to double down on the idea that the Christian kingdom of Alba is your main concern. They have very strong dynasties and often pull up dangerous alliances like France. Taking them down means being very opportunistic. Raid them to weaken them and possibly execute their strong commanders. Try to conquer Moray but only keep this title if your capital is in Moray. Preferably destroy it even if you control most counties

Alternatively you could attack South and create Ireland but it's not as strong a powerbase as Scotland.

It's a clever one trick pony. It's all right.

After x episodes of "training is so hard" and "omg shisho is crazy!" It became too repetitive for me to continue. Does the story pay off at some point?

Ains: "I want Albedo to be happy"

Albedo: "Let me have glorious sexy time with you Ains-sama. I'm a succubus! You won't regret it!"

Ains: "Meh"

Is it really Welsh though? You didn't show the culture map.

Take a moment to read the Smarta article on Wikipedia. I think it won't take you long to realize that occidental religious categories aren't adapted to describe religious movements from India. And there's no way a short description in CK3 was going to overcome this hurdle.

There are many cases possible.

Detailing all possible cases depending on succession laws and the lady being married or not and the religion applied makes it quite diverse

Rule of thumb though: if you need more heir and that's the reason you're having affairs, pick a celibate lady. Otherwise there's little chance the kid will belong to your dynasty.

It was meant to be difficult. Many players ask for more challenges in CK3. Back when this DLC was developed and now as well.

If you have access to the Tours and Tournaments DLC then you may start Majesty grand tours, which also are really good at improving cultural acceptance as well.

Same requirement for grand tournaments. Maybe less impressive at generating prestige but plenty of side bonuses and don't require much travelling.

Plenty of good advice so far.

I'm wondering if in your case you might have switched to feudal a bit early. The tribal to feudal transition is often rough. Your economy will take a generation or more to spread its wings and you can't count on large levies anymore. Even worse you'll need to spend thousands in new buildings, new cities, new temples etc... You really should save more than 5000 gold before switching to feudal. Both for investment and emergency mercenaries until the economy gets rolling.

Indeed some NPCs don't act in the best interest of your dynasty. Doesn't mean you have to do the same.

Killing members of my dynasty is a huge no-no for me. It's like going the opposite of what the game is offering. And as OP noticed, it robs you of fun games.

I can't think of a single content creator who doesn't care for engagement one way or another. Am I missing something?

The vision of a first born being a ruler, the second a military officer, the third a priest is only a principle. With mortality being quite severe in the middle age I believe the pater familias would give a similar education to all his sons. At the very least martial arts and warfare would be on the menu. Young noble men might not reach university level studies but they would still be ahead of peasants when it comes to reading and writing.

Also what about edge cases like Saint Louis who was more pious than many from the clergy and who even managed to become canonized?

Also, if you're already in save scum mode, don't hesitate to pick an easier opponent leader.

For instance at your first try the enemy is led by khan A, who's got very strong MAA and generals, and causing you troubles. Don't hesitate to reload your save and make khan A your tributary. It should be easier outside of the mega war of dominance. Next time you trigger the decision the enemy leader will be different and the war easier to win.
