      How to quickly elevate the kingdom of mann and the isles
      -Create a character with the Viking/Raider trait
      - Marry a woman who will give you prestige. I would choose Saga, the “Truth-Speaker,” the daughter of Halfdan Whiteshirt
      -Acquire much piety by executing prisoners (raiding ireland is a good option for prisoners)
      - With this acquired piety, you can divorce and remarry Saga as many times as possible until you become a living legend
      - Kill Ivar the Boneless
      -Fight against Ivar's child for independence
      - Now just elevate the kingdom of mann and the isles
      - If you wish, you can also conquer the Sudreyjar before raising the Isle of Mann so that it becomes de jure part of the kingdom
      I hope you liked my idea, fellow Canadian

      Vykngrs are broken in CK3, playing as them is a piece of cake. Start as a count in Norway with a character with martial education.
      1) Raid neighbours for gold. ~70 should be enough. Hold a feast with a high meal complexity and low number of courses. Chose event options which give you prestige. You should end up with 500-700 prestige.
      2) Spend the prestige to get Varangian Veterans, with enough prestige left to get them to full strength.
      3) Raid again, but not for gold, but for battles. Defeating armies while raiding gives you prestige.
      4) Repeat step 2,3 till you have 900 VVs.
      5) Start conquering until you have a kingdom.
      6) Create an acclaimed knight with the vanguard attribute, preferably with valiant as the secondary attribute.
      7) Repeat steps 2,3 until you get the acclaimed knight to glory level 5 and have 2700/3600 VVs. (Note: don't raise your levies while raiding, the target is more likely to attack you if your army looks smaller. Make sure to target appropriate realms, whose armies you are confident you can wipe with your VV stack)
      8) Enjoy being an unstoppable war machine.
      post life 1 advice: it's okay to have multiple eligible children, conquer as many kingdoms as you need to keep your primary titles to yourself. Infact, it is better to have as many independent kingdoms as you can, ruled by your dynasty members, as this will allow you to get renown quicker to get the "making a killing" perk in the pillaging dynasty legacy, this perk can help finance your realm when you switch to feudal.

      Huh... I never thought about that, but that's probably because I play a lot more Stellaris than Crusader Kings.

I need to stop focusing on efficiency and more on crushing my vassals under feudalism.

    How exactly does the last idea suck? You don't really need the economy when playing tribal because troops cost prestige, and the buildings that upgrade those troops are way stronger than the feudal ones... the only minus when playing tribal is the tech lock, so after a new era comes, you will have fewer troops, but by that time, you will easily have become feudal, especially with that huge empire it's easy to reform the religion or adopt a new one

    the best overpowered strat is having an intrigue character, then unlock the abduct schemes. Start one on someone who's land you have a claim on. When it is ready before hitting the confirmation to abduct them, keep the game paused and declare war on them for the claim. After you declare war, accept their abduction and profit.

  • @haritos90
    @haritos90 23 дня назад +2

    The reason you need tribal for the last strategy is subjugation CB. Also, tribal is actually OP:
    1. Every generation you can subjugate and invade a kingdom
    2. You may not have an economy, but you can raid overseas
    3. If you pick/reform a culture to allow navigation of major rivers, the game become too easy after about 100 years even if you started as a count because you can raid almost anywhere you want
    3. You can easily defeat Byz or HRE - first you raid the hell out of them and kill all their armies (always hire 10-20 berserker champs). Then it is a free real estate with no claims required
    4. Lack of technology can be countered with culture hybridisation (much easier for Norse)
    5. Lack of good succession laws is countered by free MAA (if you raid and fight then prestige is infinite) and god-tier champions - just declare on your brothers and take it back immediately, all in one go
    The only challenge you have as a tribal is if you decide to go feudal/clan. You'd probably do so after 100-200 years, but the game becomes so boring and easy you rarely actually do so :)

      then again, he also could've just decided to take the comment literally and went down the murder list as it was written.

    I went from countess to empress using (mostly) diplomacy as Daurama Daura when I was playing Mother of Us All! I used my husband to capture a couple of my closest neighbors, but he was expanding too aggressively so I ended up killing him to split his land among his kids. Remarried, conquered all the kids and formed Hausaland. I conquered most of Kanem-Bornu using Forced Vassalization, but the piece de resistance was befriending the king of Kanem and convincing him to become a vassal of his own free will, even though he probably could have taken me in an all-out war. Diplomacy was by far the most useful lifestyle for MoUA, especially after going feudal. I learned very quickly that ruling over 10 kings is better than ruling over 50 dukes lol.

  • @gaztacular

    1) 1066 start date. Custom ruler of the duchy of Austria: female, beautiful, fecund, intrigue education, lustful trait and Messalian faith (equal inheritance, lay clergy, and accepted adultery/fornication).
    2) Forge a hook on the Kaiser. You want both religious freedom (this is more important) and a council position (this can come later if he starts demanding your conversion before you get your hook). Then keep forging hooks and spying until you have a strong hook on him.
    3) Start seducing EVERYONE: HRE, Byzantium, France, Poland, Hungary, Sweden, strong duchies, literally everyone. Especially those who do not yet have heirs.
    4) When the the option comes up, acknowledge the true father and legitimize your children. Now your house will be in line for many titles. Send heirs off to foreign courts to be raised as the culture and faith of the title they will inherit so their future vassals won't hate them for being weird.
    5) While this is going on, take over the duchies of Steyermark and anything else you want in your future kingdom.
    6) Diverge your culture to Austrian to become culture head and race for Royal Prerogative innovation and absolute crown authority.
    7) Briefly switch your faith to Catholic to take the decision to form the Archduchy of Austria and gain free early primogeniture and a royal court. Then switch back to Messalian. You should have plenty of piety since Messalians can hold temples and lustful is a virtue.
    8) When your children inherit their fathers' lands spend your hooks to force them to ally with you. Now you can help them in the rare event they get factions and they can help you if you need to press your other kids' claims if a half sibling takes precedence.
    9) Pick your best daughter as your designated heir for every county and duchy in Austria with primogeniture and absolute crown authority.
    10) Rinse and repeat for however many generations you feel like and just watch all the dynastic renown flow in from having infinite emperors and kings of your dynasty.
    The first time I did this I ended up with 2 Emperors, 4 Kings, 3 Dukes, and 1 Count as kids for +27 renown per month in just the first generation while Wien/Vienna was the most developed county on the map and I had more gold and troops than my titular liege. Every generation after that just got better and better with more dynastic rulers and more beneficial vassal contracts with steward appointment, coinage rights, fortification rights, sanctioned wars, zero taxes, and the whole nine yards. And you never lose your sweet contract to becoming elected Kaiser because you're the wrong gender and the wrong religion.

    @fredrikkirderf2907 24 дня назад

    OK this is a bit of a long term one I doubt you can make it work in one lifetime but here it is.
    Start as Sigurd Snake In the Eye (any Son of Ragnar will work but I find Sigurd is best placed for this)
    Ally all your brothers within diplo-range and join in in Ivar and Halfdans invasions of britain aiming to fight as many battles as possible for prestige.
    After join in on any other wars you can as participating as an ally is the best way to earn prestige. when there are no wars raid.
    you want the prestige to max out your men at arms, focussing on varangian veterans (or if this is too unsustainable Huscarls). You also want enough gold to sustain them once you turn feudal.
    you want to try and have the largest army of your dynasty so that you're considered the dynasty head. This is because the Sigurd dynasty is massive and will grow in renown very quickly which you want put into the sea wolves branch instead of whatever crap the AI thinks of.
    when you have maxed men at arms and loads of cash on hand do a Varangian adventure on Sardinia. Possibly doing county conquests to get there.
    Obviously invest money into the mine in Cagliari but first of all go raiding with the Varangian special troops before they despawn.
    The mine will help somewhat but you'll still need to do plenty of raiding to keep out of debt.
    Your aim should now be to conquer Corsica, Sicily and Mallorca to take the secure the Mediterranean decision. This gives you a kingdom title not many players see as well as the "Controlling the Mediterranean" house modifier which gives you and house some good buffs as well as a casus belli which lets you take any Mediterranean county semi-cheaply; This is a good alternative to the conquest casus-belli for future characters as it has no fame prerequisit.
    Once you have Sicily promote acceptance with Greek until you can form a hybrid culture making sure to take Eastern Roman legacy whilst retaining coastal warriors.
    Eastern Roman Legacy and the second sea wolves rank both give you +2 to the size of heavy infantry regiments allowing you to have 4500 varangian veterans as a king or 5400 as an emperor.
    The other ranks of sea wolves gives you money after battles and more/better ransoms which turns warfare into a very profitable affair.
    now you have an army that can probably defeat anyone else on the map and your in a good position to form the Roman Empire (Which would require becoming Christian which makes it harder to be in a constant stream of Warfare) or you could go for the Miklagarðaríki/King of all the Isles achievements.
    I'm sure there are cheesier ways to get more powerful quicker but this way gets you a massive army and (in my opinion) is a lot of fun.

    My favourite start is, pick a duchy in Norway, conquer most of Norway, but don't create the Kingdom. Conquer Isle of Mann, create Kingdom of Mann, take over Normandy while also going for England and Denmark, create Norman culture, then finish off England and Denmark to create the North Sea Empire. Can also create English culture if you want, but it's usually not as beneficial as combining the Norse/French cultures. You end up with a bunch of land, some useful family perks and tons of money from raiding to get Viking for Kingdom of Mann.
    I've done it with a single ruler, but usually requires some good luck or murders to get it all done.

    @lightfallonthehead3842 10 дней назад

    start as konungardr. stockpile money for a bit, and go on as many feasts and hunts as you can. once you have a lot of prestige, spam the hell out varangian veterans, and make a few alliances with your kids. wait for byzantine empire to go to war, when they inevitably do, do a varangian adventure smack dab to thrace. hire mercenaries if you couldnot get enough allies to siege constantinople. 9/10 times your varangians absolutely destroy the byzantine army and your allies arrive to help take down constantinople. once you do that youre pretty much good to go, turn christian if you really want to get extra cash from the holy site. you can hybridize with the greeks if you want that juicy +2 regiments to all your varangians. also you have the genius trait and you can work towards inbreeding super soldiers. i mean you can do pretty much anything

    Here’s my fun heastinn ideas:if you are fine with no achievements then you can switch game rule to free war cost and do infinite varengian adventures!(you get infinite gold because you get 200 for count 300 duke 400 king and 500 emperor) normally it doesn’t work because Varangian increases in cost every time it’s used but free+free is still free!!

    Character creator
    Child 0 years old
    Beautiful - Hale - Quick - Fecund - Blood - Witch - Disloyal
    Reduce all stats to zero (all kids start with 0 stats anyway, those stats then change with the traits named above) to increase creation score total. Even if you keep stats they will be set to 0.
    Add a few traits to reach the creation total of 400/400, usually pragmatic ones like Wise Man and Blademaster
    Upon game start you can converge blood and become blood father, the dynastic perk that increases health and age. Fecund, Hale, Blood, and Converged Blood increase your lifespan to about 70, can reach 100 easy with Whole of Body.
    Create character and give yourself the best education and get good personality traits and once you reach 16 years old go to university on the other side of the world at minimum cost, (OR Pilgrimage if you selected a VERY far away religion, for example, a Viking Islam or a West African with an Indian Religion) visit EVERY SINGLE landmark along the way, and by the time you get home you're like 21, with a max out wanderer bonus, like 10 different lifestyle bonuses, and if you hit Byzantium Rome and Baghdad you probably have a few FREE traits as well such as flexible truces or embassies. Every single child born is a chad with traits inherited from your great starter genes, can easily reach the child softcap of 20. Bonus points if you have a polygamous religion then land your kids and give them multiple spouses as well and your dynasty can reach 100 members by the time you're 50.
    The ONLY bad part about this universally amazing strategy that works for almost anything is what happens after your first character dies. Every single ambitious child will probably make succession rough but once you overcome the initial civil wars then you actually end up with an extremely stable dynasty that can do literally anything. Ending the Iberian Struggle or the Iranian Intermezzo with one character then dominating the region is childsplay. Forming Northsea and uniting the Nords, or even conquering or peacefully vassalizing all of Africa. Easy, and smooth.

      20 years of waiting around doing nothing comes with the opportunity cost of having actually played for those 20 years though

    • @birdofterror6628
      @birdofterror6628 23 дня назад

      @@johnny-smith It’s a very reasonable opportunity cost, because it sets up an entire game while giving you a character that is undisputably the best in the entire world while still being valid for getting achievements.
      There is also a weird mechanic where negative factions actually cannot Form against you if you are under the age of five. They will automatically dissolve themselves. You can still play the game however, you can host meet peers to gain prestige, if you are tribal you can still raid, and if you are somewhere safe like Sardinia you can still develop your economy while you are receiving an education. The opportunity cost is not as high as you think

  • @НикитаОвчинников-ж9м

    I have a challenge for you, if you interested. Basically - same thing you did in your previous video - Girlboss empire. But with standart game rules.
    Goal - create united african empire of amazons, including egypt, jerusalem and part middle-east all the way to iran. All of it must be your culture, and all, or most of the vassals must be from your bloodline. Also your culture must be as warrior-ish as possible with female dominance, pillars of eastern roman legacy and warrior qeens. And religion must be reformed with killing bloodline forbidden.
    Start character: greek women, with achamánism faith (sacrificial ceremonies must stay).Sheikdom of Achinech. With whatever skills and traits you whant (free pool).
    So.... I'm asking you to do the perfect tall empire run and make it wide, with penalty of being a women in middle ages. I know that takes like A LOT of time, that is why i can't do it either, but i've tried a couple of times. And it's not impossible. I just can't figure out how to make it fast. (i start in 867 ad, and create hybrid culture with nubian to gain warrior queens early, and to pick warrior society)
