This video and the video about army composition made me get back into CK2 again! The videos I have watched basically say to have a larger army than your opponent. Nothing is mentioned of what you cover in these videos. Thank you so much for these tutorials!
After almost 1,400 hours in ck2 I decided I should probably try to properly learn troop composition. I was surprised to realize that there was way more to it than just different troop types having different strengths and weaknesses, and discovered several new game tabs that I didn't even know existed. Thanks for making this video, it has been extremely useful and informative. Edit: Just noticed the title says Ck2 Plus. Do the troop compositions, tactics, and traits all apply to vanilla as well or no?
This is the best in-depth tutorial on how battles work in CK2, thanks a lot! Just a couple of things drove me nuts; It's pronounced "may-lay", not "mee-lee". And "Cav-al-ry" not "Cal-va-ry".
Hi, your tutorial is amazing! My question is: Is there way in which I can compose my army to prevent the triggering of the commander's death? I wanna send my rulers to the battles, but they aways die.
Not as far as I am aware. If you don't want your ruler to get the shaft in battle, the only real way to avoid it is to not have him lead a flank of an army. However, if you do this, be aware that he will remain in his capital. If the capital is under siege or falls, your ruler may get captured by the enemy.
Are you sure Anglo-Saxon commanders are archery-focused? Historically speaking, the Anglo-Saxons fought as heavy infantry with large shields, a sword or spear, and a pair of javelins for the initial skirmish. Even as late as 1066 they were fighting in shieldwalls like Roman auxiliaries.
Yup, I'm sure. Scroll down and find "English or Welsh culture" But I agree with your historical synopsis. For whatever reason, the game applies the more advanced form of English tactics as a frame of reference for combat mechanics: ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Combat_tactics
I'm pretty sure English culture is the melting pot version of Anglo Saxon. The latter gets the heavy infantry bonus while the former gets the archer bonus
If you capture their ruler, usually that is enough to get 100% war score. Otherwise, it is based on % of holdings taken v holdings lost. Also, military victories contribute to war score % I usually look for where their ruler is and target that. Sometimes, the ruler is not in an army leading troops, but held up in his capitol. Siege it and take it and usually you will capture him.
How do I know which culture specializes in which type of tactic? I have Andalusian culture as ruler but many of my commanders are of different culture including French, Italian, Berber, German and Levant.
The culture of the flank commander dictates what special action may fire. In other words, if your left flank is Welsh, you'll get longbow, center is french, you'll get cavalry, and right is Danish, you'll get berserker: ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Combat_tactics
Lol, there is not much you need to know when you have a 20k vs a 7k army. Let's be honest, the rule to win most fight is to have 2x the amount your adversary has. The IA also cheats. If if they have a 5k army charging towards your 1k army, and you hire 10k army mercs, they bail right away lol. And trust me, they s do that without even being able to see you in the map. Just tested it by saving and loading.
@@FingolinTS Sorry, I meant, if the IA have a 5k army and you spawn a 10k army elsewhere they cannot see, they will still cheat and do not charge your lands because they -- know -- you will insta win the fight .
Thanks! Some think these tutorials were click bait for CK2+...figured, if I was doing tutorials with CK2+ I should at least tell people lol. Everyone is a critic!

Great vid, I used to skip through battles just relying on numbers
im very very late but thank you. this is so easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best in-depth tutorial on how battles work in CK2, thanks a lot!
Just a couple of things drove me nuts;
It's pronounced "may-lay", not "mee-lee". And "Cav-al-ry" not "Cal-va-ry".
Haha, you're like the 4th person to comment on "calvary"! I'm glad the tutorials help! Thanks for commenting!
@Leif That's because it's the correct pronunciation
I dont know why it’s so hard to make a basic essay to follow tutorial … like what the fuck is this … if I wasn’t confused before this I def was after
if they could've made an actual battle for the game that would've been great

How do you win wars? Do you just siege their castles and win battles or is there something else to it

@@AoEBros I’ve captured a ruler before and won a war that way I forgot about it tho thanks I’ll target the king/sultans army if they lead at least
Sorry, I must be blind, but where is this "link provided in the narrative" regarding effects you can trigger in battle? I see no narrative.
It's under the link regarding "combat tactics": ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Combat_tactics

nice job!
Thanks for the decent guide. For the love of God, though, please stop saying CALVARY when you mean CAVALRY. :)
I know, I know lol. Believe me, I've gotten thoroughly lit up for this haha. Thanks for the watching, notwithstanding the torture!
What music plays in background ?
Good videos, but you really gotta learn how to pronounce like, half the terms you use
Lol okay

Mercenaries spawn with 1% morale, u need wait a few days before using them, under 25% they may start retreating right away

This is probably the least concise tutorial video ever made. Frustrating AF.
Having over 1000 hours I must say CK2 has the dumbest combat system ever created. It is literal trash.
compared to what? or is it just dumb? also is there any game with perfect or good combat system?
@@narendranath3487 compared to EU IV
@@narendranath3487 It is very dumb either way
@@Gafnnerexpected that u would say eu 4, ck games are like grand sex simulators anyways so I don't expect devs would add a complex combat system.
Bro where is the link to download? I can't download the mod :(
