I'd like to state a point regarding the Baltic Empire deserving more praise. It contains ALL 5 VIDILIST Holy Sites. If your culture has forest-related traditions (defensive & economic), it can be a force to be reckoned with...
And while yes, the vikings give you a hard time. That also makes the area quite fun. We've all played against the viking a million times, so it switches up the experience quite nicely to be on the other end of that for once. And try to overcome those odds by eventually destroying them.
@@macdixon3r Also reforming it to Christian Syncretism and other of your choice guarantees you a calm Christian Border and strong alliances with other European powers.
Hard disagree on the Baltic Empire, though I'm not surprised it's in there. Build all three Hall of Heroes, and you get insanely powerful. Sure the vikings will come after you sometimes, but if you're instantly stackwiping them with your space marines, then all they serve to do is give you something to do with your downtime. Likewise the HRE trying haplessly to crusade you. Even the land is deceptively good as you can build tradeports on the Vistula river counties. Basically, it's CK3's version of Prussia, and I'm all for it.
Forming the Empire of Tibet as a certain dynasty is an achievement though, I suppose that it's so bad, they had to include an achievement for doing it, lol.
Its actually a really cool campaign - the empire shatters ~1 generation before game start, so you have a lot of storytelling with the different successor states
Same, those steppe and Tiga empires can become crazy powerful once you get them going. By the time the Mongols get going it's not even a challenge, you just get too much time to get set up for it to be hard.
(Dis)honourable mention for the wannabe empires that can be created during the iberian struggle (the only ending the AI will ever achieve without player help)
Tibet is a big ass mountain which makes you basically unconquerable with the right stacking of modifiers when you unite it,kinda important considering if you are going to be playing a long campaign the Mongols are right above knocking
@@somemeansfish8987 Mongol special units temujin gets or by others taking Become the greatest of khan will not take attrition or supplies and have op sieging capacity.
I know you hate Tibet, so I'm not going to say anything there. But ranking the Baltic Empire as worse than Ajuraan? No. Most certainly not. You want to know what's larger than Ajuraan? Lithuania. A single kingdom in the Baltic Empire. And, like, the Baltic Empire is an excellent target if you yourself are a Viking, so, yeah.
I would argue one of the worst empirescto form is the North Sea Empire. The requirements alone are abysmal. I have to hold the Kingdom of England, Norway, and Denmark for 30 years while my ruler is on average 30-50 years old.
I think the name is what makes it the worst. It's such a generic, non-historical name that a bunch of unimaginative nerds came up in their history class.
Turan is saved because of special buildings and farmlands I suppose but I must say that tribal is the best gov type because you can raid and culture mixing still let you have next eras and giving all lands to your family and having one tradition about family (I can't remember the name)you can make it preaty op (If you manage to get Georgian with heavy cav to mix with it becames way too op)
One big thing I did over a playthrough was form Tibet and mass culture-convert every single county for my own culture with traditions for additional development in mountains and hill terrain, along with Loyal Vassals. It was rough to get going, and it certainly wasn't optimal, but it was at least flavorful. And Tibet is at least a fantastic empire to rule on the defensive. But yeah, its pretty rough.
5. The thing with Vikings is they come with like 9000 troops every time and they’re just levies so if you have a decent tribal army you can smack them but they’re so annoying. 4. The trophy for getting the Tibet empire is so easy the first Pugyel is a diplomat in 1066 and you can vassalize the whole empire in one life. The history of lost Guge kingdom in Tibet is very interesting as well. The rest agree for sure
@killer But it is very small, underdeveloped, tribal and has bad neighbouring lands to expand into (mostly hills and mountains in Ethiopia and desert in Arabia). I like Khazaria more.
Ajuraan's strength is that it's the smallest empire in the game and in the corner. You get all the advantages of an Empire rank, but call still play tall and keep to yourself. Not the place for a warmonger (unless you want to build up first), but possibly the best spot in the world for a peaceful playthough.
hills are one of the best terrains. Can build qanats ( farms and fields and orchards at lvl 5 quanat) and hill farms, hill dwelers give +20% development and megalithic constructions gives +15% plus if u have drylands or desert holdings (duchy of sanag) u can build small caravanserai or in the duchy of halcyon u can build watermills and windmills in most counties plus qanats. Id say top 5 terrains is floodplains farmlands hills drylands prob plains
Personally Tibet was fun because of all the different faith’s available to be reformed within the empire. Also most of the cultures there in 867 already have most of the civs done already, you also have access to horse archers & crossbow combinations with XuXI
Nah, kuzarism has a holy site in Crimea that gives you crazy (something like 50%) bonus to development growth in steppe, and not only in steppe terrain, but in the whole steppe region, which includes all north-eastern part of the map. With this bonus bad terrain problem is not relevant, learn the material before making videos like this
I said earlier in the video I’m not putting holy sites into factor. What if you don’t follow kuzarism when you form the empire? That’d be like me putting Mongolia off this list because they have Karakorum and just because tengriism has the site
@@ScreamingEagles. What I love about crusader kings is that they put enough thought into translating the local cultures and religions into gameplay mechanics to give them unique advantages that allow them to thrive in exacty those underdog regions that were historically their homelands and that they adapted to. I agree with your take though, because if we took cultures and religions into account, then the entire list would be pointless, because THERE IS NO BAD EMPIRE in crusader kings. Having the fitting culture and/or religion and using the right tactics to play into their strengths, you can turn any Empire into a superpower. For some of those Empires, it may be a little more difficult and require a little more thinking outside the box, but there is no Empire that is such of an underdog that it would be a pain to play it. The only exception are maybe the Asian Steppe Empires in a long game, but only because they will almost inevitably be overrun by Gengis Khan if you don't conquer Mongolia and become Gengis Khan yourself before the AI does it.
The Baltic Empire is ok if you settle there as vikings (stops invasions). Then you could become Vidilist and reform it, or go Catholic in order to not get holy warred. Also you can form it as Poland and RP as the Commonwealth.
Volga-ural you can mix bashrik culture with uralic i think and get massive bonuses to taiga and forest dev and income. You can just get stupid amounts of dev in an empire thats very easy to form even more if you get muqata tax as a clan. Get the cuman lands and then fully concentrate on deving before the mongols show up. Very cool campaigns as you can be of any religion and play a mix of both tall and wide
I think it’s very interesting and kinda obvious when you actually play the game. Even through the dev is just as bad in West Africa none of those empires made the list. The supply limits never get terrible and ofc the Mali mines. It’s surprising Mali/Jenne didn’t make top 5 kingdoms. It’s super easy to form and Manding has floodplain terrain.
Well, if you do create the mongol Empire, which is quite easy if you have any idea about what you are doing, then suddenly the mongol Empire allows a world conquest. So with that caveat, I don't think the mongol Empire belongs to the worst Empire. I wouldn't recommend having it as a permanent base though, so I will give you that.
I loved this video as always great content cant wait for more! Once i messed up and formed Khazaria in my opinion it just isnt fun. I think if youre able to do the ghengis khan desicion in mongolia it can be nice but ive had the problem where i cant form the mongol empire and it just like khazaria isnt fun.
Tibet actually funny. Because you have the terrain bonus with that himalaya troops and you can build marches in every single duchy, because it gives the same extra income bonus as tax offices in hills, mountains and desert mountains (most of the terrain in Tibet is that) AND the defence bonus. No one can conquer you.
Much really depends on culture and religion for whether or not an empire is good or bad. Himalayan Settlers (and Mountain Homes) makes Tibet quite good. Khuzarism religion easily boosts Khazaria (and other steppe regions) to be quite good, and you can construct the Caravanseraei line of buildings. Vidilist and a Forest dwelling culture helps make the Baltic Empire into an unconquerable force.
The Baltic empire is absolutely OP. You can easily pick up Konni which lets you stack wipe and outrun everything. You have all five holy sites, it's super small de jure meaning you can actually have a semi tall empire and you left to Europe to have all the fun decisions like dismantle the papacy etc.
I did the Tibet achievement and boy. It needs an overhaul. Aesthetic wise they are stil altaic, no special buildings and mostly bad regions aside of the one part with the Han Culture. It is one of the least thought out regions of this game.
2 things to say, since the culture update talking about teraun types without considering the huge benefits u get from cultures is kinda pointless. Also, tibet should be at the top of this list, tibet is worse to fight in than tiga, worse than the stepps, and you don't even get decent units to take advantage of th terrain. Tibet is an empire that you make because your vassal swarm late game has taken a chunk out of the area already and you think, eh, might as well. Actually playing in the region is torture.
Not taking cultures/ holy sites into account when taking about the empires is really not a good choice. Holy site special buildings and their bonuses can be huge. Also cultures really change how well your characters interact with the land to better make use of the "trash terrain". Maybe once you learn how to make a horse archer space marine army and stack wipe ghengis you'll change your mind.
Bro, with the new DLC, EVRY empire can destroy evrything. Make a legend, earn the "cheat code" for forcing your neighbor to join you. And here you go, the recipe for conquering evrything. CKIII is becoming so boring i swear..
I guess you mean the specific solution "Iberian compromise", which turns every existing independent kingdom into their own dwarf empires. They have one good use though: Conquer all of them and then give the spare ones to members of your dynasty, to make your dynastie fame absolutely explode and get the "dynastie of many crowns" decision (and the achievement "what nepotism?"), which requires your family to have 10 independant kings or emperors. So creating those titles and holding one of those yourself at least for some time (while you push either into France or into North Africa to conquer a bigger Empire) is not an underdog position at all, especially since Iberia also has some very strong provinces and special buildings. I'd take ruling the Empire of Galicia over ruling any of the vast but empty East Asian Steppe Empires anytime (except of course for Mongolia as a stepstone to become Gengis Khan)
The best empire in my opinion is francia because of the sheer opportunity to become extremely strong even stronger then a hungary poland and pomerania controlling holy roman empire with three huge allies while having no allies myself50k vs 37k... yeah i stopped playing because it got boring i mean hell I got paris to 100 development in 1230 whilst starting as Phillipe the worst king in europe in that region in 1066... like bruh
Kanem Bornu. The "good" land isn't even in the titular kingdom. Way worse than Tibet of the Baltic. Because sure, Tibet is hard, and the Baltic has the vikings, but I'm honestly wondering if you'ever ene played in Africa. Kanem Bornu, Maghreb, and Ajaraam are pretty damn bad. And as some one who played in all the areas, those three suck just as much as the mid steppe empires.
Well it has at least some floodplains. Floodplains salvage the region to a passable level. But compared to Maghreb and Ajuraan it has no Coastal Region which is a heavy downside. I have a bit of a Soft Spot for Ajuuran as it is a perfect region for playing tall. And the other issue is Mali, Guinea and Abyssinia (and even the Kingdom of Egypt) are really good Empires if you build it up properly and you can have fun with them. I only feudalize in Africa if I took the Gold Mines.
