@@turquoisemanturk Ah, those mods, I have that video on my to do list. It's actually going to be a very interesting video on an RTS game I would like to see which is currently only possible in mods so I will have an overall subject plus a showcase of good mods.
This has been the funniest take on this, and it's so true. I played a game as Leinster, and as soon as I started it was like Munster, Connaught, Ulster, Powys, Gwynedd, and Scotland wanted me to start and lead wars against England! Soon as I started declining then suddenly Gwynedd starts a defensive pact against me with Powys, Munster, AND ENGLAND!
Thanks for the video, very helpful! One thing I try to do when I play as a smaller Nation is to accept the first request to support a war from a allied nation or even better (to avoid denounces from other nations); Taking advantage of an ongoing siege and plunder the hell out of the unprotected surrounding land because the soliders are usually in the city defending it against the invader. This can give lots of resources. I recently did this as Prussia when Sweden invaded Semgallen and so I suddenly had 2000 gold at my desposal!
Hi I am glad you enjoyed it. That is a very interesting tip you shared with us. Definitely a nice way yo exploit a convenient situation close to your borders. But will you have an enemy going forward that might be strong than you?
nice to hear you´re from serbia ! 🤗 tell us more and please give us an extra video for deeper balkan gameplay ! for me in 2 of 3 runs with serbia i usally end fighting against the italian nations. also its better with than against byzanz , after time just ask them peacfully to get Nis or Ohrid in any exchange. Puno pozdrava tebi i ekipi 👍+✌
Thank you kindly for the feedback and comment! It is appreciated. I actually work alone, besides an editor who does some videos... wish I did have a team. Would be much easier.
Love your video! very detail and informative, looks like that you've played the previous KoH game before. And i also love that the developer didn't change the game mechanic so much, so it's still have the original KoH vibes!

I tried an Irish unification because that’s what I did in the original game. I was frustrated at first for the new mechanic of the subject opinions (clergy, nobles etc) but eventually I got my head around it. I was building up a good economy, had a good standing army compared to my neighbors, and was ready to go and conquer my first Irish state…. Then Ulster declared war out of nowhere. I think “no problem, their army sucks”, only for their numbers to double out of nowhere once the first battle actually started, bodying my only army and ruining the entire save as I was now stuck in an unwinnable war they’d just use to completely wipe me out. I quit after that.
@@perafilozof it wasn’t the sudden war that made me quit, it was them doubling their numbers out of nowhere. I should have won that war, but instead I get curbstomped by an army that shouldn’t exist.
When your king dies and the soldiers become mercenaries you can just go to them with a new commander and get them back. You dont have to buy them back :)
Coming from Total War and just played this game for the first time. Portugal. I died to the Southern Islamic nation, I forget the name, in the 1200s start date. Dragged in by Leon and Castile.
England is really good, because you can expand in over the islands, and then slowly into rest of the Europe, plus they get Feudal Knights and Longbow Man, which are both really powerful. France also gets access to Feudal Knights, but yeah... Castille also gets access to more OP advanced units, but whether you try to expand, North or South, you always have to watch attack from both directions. Scandinavian kingdoms aren't that great either, while you're technically on the edge of the map both South and East is too close for comfort. Either way... anyone but Pagans are the way to go lol. I have only tried one of them, so I don't know if others had different nerfs, but the one I've picked had 10% nerf on gold income and maybe something else less important too (maybe like... 25% nerf on books or something) . Which extended campaign for 6 more hours than previous two I've played (which were with Croatia and Kiyv). Additionally... Pagans don't have access to University or anything of that kind, so you have to win it from someone to get access to those goods, but you still can't produces things like Fine Art (even if you win Cathedrals and/or Great Mosques), and thanks to not being to do certain upgrades, you'll never have access to certain goods, and not be able to get Kingdom Advantages. You can try to trade for Fine Art, but good luck getting it. lol 2nd You shouldn't do trade agreements with neighbors, you're more likely to get in war with them, and lose your merchant, income and/or at least progress. But yeah... first thing to do, form enough Trade Agreements to get Merchant Disposition to 10, Hire Knights (Merchants) so you can appoint them to govern provinces, to increase your income.
Hi nikolamatasin welcome to my channel and thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts on this with us. Good examples and explanations of the starting nations. To some extent, yes, making trade agreements with neighbors, most of which you will go to war with is a problem, but you can't always be at war with everyone so some trade will continue as you look for new partners.
@perafilozof it's more that when you retreat your merchant (if you're the one announcing war), you lose progress with trade expansions too, so you lose income right at the start of the war. Or have lower income for some time before your trading goes up with new partner. So back in KoH1 and here also I like to start with trading partners so far away, I'll have no contact with them till at least mid game, where slight income loss isn't an issue anymore lol Ideally it would be someone that has access to goods you won't have for a long time, but I never plan that far ahead lol
That is true, and it is one of those choices moments that also depend on the AI itself. You might even find yourself losing most of your trade because the AI simply decided to go to war with your or your allies.
I took it very badly, when I heard that in this game your specialized governors/lords/whatever that you have only a handful, turn their province into a superprovince, which becomes way more powerful than other provinces. That sounded very immersion breaking. What's your experience with that?
That is a good point to raise. I found it most problematic because of the scale of the game clashes with this limited number of lords. Like, you have a handful of lords, but you can capture hundreds of provinces. In one way, this prevents you from being a landslide super power as your kingdom grows, and other kingdoms still have a chance to fight against you. On the other it requires you to constantly move your governors to provinces where they can help you the most. But again, if you had dozens or hundreds of governors the game would be come heavy in micromanagement which would slow down its idea of fast gameplay. In the end I feel like while it's not the best choice, it the one that fits the vision of how the game is to be played the best.
When I played knights of Honor 2 I've got it bad when I first started because it was a bug that got me We're all Nations were at war with me from the beginning of the game I had to start over new campaign And play France and made a decent go out of it I love knights of Honor 2 because it's almost like medieval Total war And love fighting in the medieval times thanks for the nice tips Perafilozof when I get back playing it again 😀👍
Just flip a coin until you get good diplo and profitable resource to trade. The whole game is a casino, your impact completely depends on a starting economy and how fast you can buy first militia units. Oh wait, if difficulty higher than normal then you are going to lose against numerically weaker and flanked peasants. So you just wait for a 10 years hoping nobody steamrolls you. What a game.
My militia loses 1 vs 1 to farmers with sticks. My cav never charges my loser army is always better but gives up immediately. This game is just stupid. I tried to follow the guide but it just ends um in me losing every single game instantly. enemies cav charges at me half my army is dead and flees. I charge nothing happens.
Hi, there is a map overview which shows you which provinces have what resources. But you also have to construct the prerequisite buildings to get those resources. You can also try to trade for them if an opportunity shows up and you have lords specialized in that.
