    Thanks to Battlesmiths for sponsoring the video!
    In the world of Crusader Kings 3 in the 1066 start date, the world is full off brilliant and competent Kings, Queens and rulers! With great stats, wonderful traits and good educations, these rulers can easily rule their realms... but what if you instead were to play as a ruler with EVERY BAD TRAIT in the game.... and ZERO STATS in Diplomacy, Martial, Stewardship, Intrigue and Learning? Truly a ZERO STAT MAN... but can we turn him into a HERO? That's what we're going to find out today!
    I will be starting as a custom made character with 0 in all stats, including some insanely bad traits like hideous and imbecile! My goal will be to take this absolute failure of a character, and still come out on top.. and become the EMPEROR of the BIGGEST EMPIRE in Crusader Kings 3!
    Will Koifish be able to persevere despite having ZERO in all stats? Is Crusader Kings 3 simply to easy, and beatable with even the worst of characters? Only one way to find out! So sit back and enjoy this wonderful CK3 ZERO TO HERO adventure!
    The question still stands... How did I go about it when I Became the STRONGEST EMPEROR with ZERO STATS in CRUSADER KINGS 3

      Yeah and that's why I love it. Historically the crusades were in fact clusterfucks, and the game, albeit most likely unintentionally, manages to portray that shockingly well for a game in which most combat is dead simple - throw enough soldiers at the problem and it goes away.

      ​@bernard832 I don't intentionally play female characters in CK3 as much as I used to play them in CK2 - and that was always only for devil children anyway (playing an intrigue lady and racing the clock to make head of Lucifer's Own before age 45 in order to do the devil child - always a fun time, involves lots of murder against fellow members to move up the ranks, once had to kill my character's own mother because she was high priest...) but seducing the Pope to take the title for my kid definitely sounds like a good time next time I get stuck with one and want the mama bear roleplay of getting my spares their own realms through their claims and my army.

I was enraged as he was a Gigachad, but instead of thinking WWJD I went with the WWKFD... The resulting great khan side revenge quest finally came to a end at 5:30 this morning...

    yeah... it is definitly too easy.
    One thing I feel really helps is the "More interactive vassals" mod. All it really does is it makes direct *vassals who don't dislike their liege or are allied with them fight with them* in wars with their own levies, like was customary in the feudal system.
    That little thing makes it so that you have to pick your battles much more carefully, and big realms can actually project a LOT of power. It also makes it much harder to simply paint the map in your colours. Really I don't get why this isn't in the basegame.

    You should try to conquer all of Europe as a weak count. It would be interesting to see. You would probably need multiple lifetimes to do it but it would make a great video. And if you do it, think about creating a special European empire, so if you have a disastrous partition succession crisis you can at least keep the over all realm together. I have also been thinking about doing this but it would be fun to see you do it too. Merry Christmas

      The AI just needs to be improved a lot. At the moment the AI just reacts to the same events the player gets but it doesn't really have a "plan" or goal. The AI should roleplay (the traits should have a big impact on how it acts) but the more capable characters should be ruthless in achieving their goals.

In 2 they would actually work together somewhat and you could see what they were trying to do even if it wasn't the optimum strategy. In 3 they literally just wonder about all over the place rarely even staying long enough in one place to siege it down, I don't get why it got so much worse between games

    I wouldn't say the game is too easy. Its more the fact that the AI isn't very smart. They often take the dumbest approach to any scenario and that makes the game feel a lot easier than it actually is...
    For example, doing the heretical faith one county challenge inside an empire that considers you as evil is actually pretty hard. Its doable, but it IS hard. A lot of the difficulty in this game is tied to faith. If you're the same faith as everyone around you, it mitigates so much of the difficulty...
