you should do a challenge trying to make the most dreaded dynasty. so instead of just trying to get your individual dread up, you’d want the average dread in your house or dynasty to be as high as possible.
That’s a tough one, I’m wondering how best to influence the traits that produce dread (education and cultural traditions most likely and guild tree), if manageable may give it a go
@@MellowScot I mean there are a couple basic mods that could help like the house legacy mod or whatever it’s called. Could be an interesting way to explore/implement mods into your videos to spice things up.
I like that both Machiavelli and Sun Tzu have similar views on morality and piety when ruling society. They both express that while it is essential to achieve power over your enemies by employing any means at hand, being beloved by your people/soldiers through righteousness is a great boon that helps achieving your selfish, ambitious goals.

If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! .Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that nobody could best him in the ring of honor
My compliments to you’re chef.. I mean Editor haha Seriously though you’re videos just keep getting better dude. Right up there with the best CK3 Creators
Honestly this is just really good content. Not only is it an entertaining RP-esque ck3 playthrough but I also learned a lot about the art of war and got to see it be intelligently applied. Great stuff, easy sub
I like how you relate this game to great books that are good reads for people in general. I've read both The Art of War and the Prince and watching your two videos makes me want to reread them. I would love to see what a full playthrough would look like from you.
@@MellowScot Lol I thought so, was half way through the video when it came to mind. "Man, this is probably just a really good way to show how everything works." xD Great video!
U deserve so many more views subs with the quality and effort you put into your vids. Also ur actually good at the game unlike most other ck3 RUclipsrs I’ve seen so I always enjoy watching you play. This is probably my favorite ck3 channel on RUclips and I hope u keep up ur good work 🙌🙌
You should make a series as a ruler and go more in depth to what you are doing and go until either it becomes boring because you conquered so many things and have loyal vassals or if you don’t have any heirs and die
I love the Art of War, but I am absolutely terrible at implementing military strategies... Whenever I play CK3 I forget to check terrain, the enemy units, and in general I don't know how to use armies in this game... I accidently split my army and sent 1 man to raid some nations in Africa and I still don't know how I did it...
LOL, I am terrible at moving my troops and microing (hoi4 is uhh interesting) but I am actually very good at countering enemy troops, checking the terrain and stackwiping (light horses are the best). I play as Scotland normally (hence my name) and use tons of pikemen in order to stop England from invading me as I will just hide up in the highlands and as Wallace did, destroy the famed English cavalry (fortunately the AI doesn't know how to use longbows)
@@jacobite2353 Oh I’ve always wanted to bring together all the Celtic nations then conquer England! After that retake the rest of the former Celtic lands to create the Great Celtic Empire! But… I’m really terrible at this game and I tend to rush into battle without thinking… I’m the fool Sun Tzu would love to face up against lol
@@Takayama-sama Just annex them peacefully. Sway them, befriend them. That's what I do. I can peacefully conquer Ireland as Scotland within one lifetime
Im not as bad as you, I can implement strategies, but.. i tend to be very forgetful...always forget the terrain and the enemy army. I just rush in with big army and smash. And I always tend to act hastily. Whenever something not goes the way I want to i tend to be very hasty. I always have to remind myself to calm down, stop the game think through before I do something really silly. But I cannot be that mindful all the times, hence i make mistakes. Then I get more hasty and now angry too, and make even more mistakes... And even in my worst days at this point I usually notice this and stop the game to clear my head and think it through.

@@MellowScot trust me it has so much content, you can choose basically whatever you like from it, not to mention the fact that there are so many Indians in diaspora who play the game that you might actually get a decent amount of views just from them 😄
If I can find the time to do EU4 I will, I just need to refresh myself as the meta has changed loads- I think I have 1000+ hours but from many years ago

Sun Tzu, the OG powergamer
I was thinking the same while playing - the original minmax guide
“Open console and type “imprison charid” “ - Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu's entire book can be summed up as:
"In everything you do, great or small? Fuck them up."
Next video idea dominate Ck3 with the 42 laws of power
If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! .Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that nobody could best him in the ring of honor
The simple fact that you've read at least one book puts you miles ahead of most YT's
😭
like another commenter said, you are really original! it's very creative, and I literally feel as if I'm playing
Thanks a tonne!
Amazing video man, I'm gonna proceed to watch it
