Becoming a witch and making powerful dynasties through genetics, sounds like the Bene Gesserit from Dune.

When I play for dynasty members, the daughters are for seizing the crown through matrilinear marriage and schemes, and sons are landed after you conquer something. It's not the most optimal strategy but helps organize the expansion.

Did this starting as Habsburgs. Formed Swiss confederation and became holy Roman emperor. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had

I know that "Dynasty of many Crowns" is pretty difficult, but as I had to content with the "Founding a Witchcoven" one many times when my dynasty had many hundred members let me just tell you what a ridiculous grind that one can be. I mean there comes a point where it starts to snowball as other witches educate their own children but damn... you are lucky to have this one this early in the game.

Arguably the hardest decision in the game

"why is my brother married to the daughter of the King of England??? How did that happen" *snap five minutes earlier marrying that sibling off to the princess of england to secure an alliance to take Sicily*

The easiest way to do this is just to win every crusade and put a member of your dynasty on the throne. And then ally them so they can establish a solid rule while you help them deal with wars

When your dynasty gets big and powerful enough they’ll be marrying each other anyways to combine power. It happened in my game but I started in France and took over the world installing my family members as kings and dukes everywhere I could. And twin is always a good trait to get if you want a large family/dynasty

Just wanted to comment to say thank you for getting me back into CK3. I hadn't touched it in months and since finding your channel I've been playing it again nonstop. Your content is great and sucked me right back into incest simulator 2k23. Cheers.

I made the Pope a witch once, I did it as a punishment after he tried to claim the kingdom of Ruthenia from me in a crusade. Sadly didn't seem to do anything, but maybe that's changed since last I played.

After a while tracking down your dynasty members and who you need to kill in order for them to inherit becomes impossible without using an excel spreadshit (or otherwise noting it down). Totally worth it though, as it's still the most enjoyable way to play the game for me (got the idea from your "ruling Europe from the shadows" video and trying it out currently with a tall Bohemia -and a cheat character along with tons of save scumming; can't help myself...).

I did this as the vikings after forming the kingdom of Mann and the Isles. Also formed the basileo kingdom, cornwall, aragon; and livonia...it was eventful

I've built a lot of empires where I gave 10 kingdoms to family members, but I never bother with the decision because I don't want to grant them independence.

I did this with the Habsburgs in the 1066 start date and it was so much pain.

I love how we choose these series

muchas gracias manito por estos videos, hacen del trabajo algo mejor

So lucky getting the witch event pop up so early. I got it 300 years into my playthrough when my dynasty had hundreds of members it's kinda imposible to get enough of them converted for that decision cause more kids just keep getting born faster then I can convert.

Also Venice is a kingdom title worth going for.

I am an italian, and the way you butcher "Cagliari" pronunciation in the first 5 seconds is incredibly promising. XD

I shall like and subscribe as instructed

WW SNAP I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS. YOU ARE OFFICIALLY MY FAVORITE CK3 KZfaqR.

I will tell you a secret thats gonna blow your mind. There is no L in Mallorca

“I won’t do a little incest for traits but devil worshiping witch? Sure” 🤦‍♀️🤣

karling 1066 is my fav playthrough, must have done it 20 times

“We’ll have a bunch of witches ruling the world” I see your timeline has not diverged much from ours 💀

Another great video mate!

I would love to see you do Achievement runs Like Bod Chen po or even something like control thelassonika as a French ruler

This was easy for me when I played England, I conquered scotland, wales and ireland, and france will be next since I have a claim on it, I thought it was going to be a long siege since I don't have strong allies(my only ally was Leon), but when I landed my troops in normandy and regrouped them to siege Paris I luckily captured the King of france making my warscore from 11% to 100% real quick ending the war, I created the empire of france and britiannia in order for me to gain a claim on aquitaine, britanny, and arles, I conquered the 3 kingdoms again. Finally, my character was the emperor of france and britannia, I gave the kingdom of scotland, ireland, wales, britanny, aquataine, arles, and france to all my relatives, I was about to take the Iberian kingdoms but its was already 1453 which is the time the game ends since I'm playing ck2 without dlc. Imagine just because I luckily captured a king I became an emperor lol😂

After watching your several video I became more interested in this game

46:36 you could’ve usurped the kingdom of burgundy

It is pure chance if they get a duchy or county claim,though having higher learning usually makes the chances of getting a duchy claim higher

The “A cask of wine” murder scheme seems like a nod to “Cask of Amontillado”

i play this game so much i already know what kingdoms your going to do for this, or at least the fastest route. there is only 9 easy-ish kingdoms to yoink so a successful crusade would definitely help

Can already see your family branches either collapsing or fighting you. Was this challenge like trying to herd cats?

Lmao you’re literally making the Cabal. That’s awesome

Crete, Cyprus and the Canaries are all kingdoms that are small and easy to conquer. I have in the past gotten the duchy of the aegean islands minus the county of Abydos (which is on mainland Anatolia) but plus the county of Euboea (who I granted to a count and transferred vassalage to the duke of the Aegean Islands) and grant the duke as a vassal to the King of Crete (I had an empire title by that point), and let dejure drift do the work. Then you're truly an island nation. Might as well try take that island duchy between yemen and somalia as well

26:20 you should take your time to read the things in the screen, the casus belli was literally there, "Seize the County of Ibiza (De Jure)"

Powerwolf - Panic in the Pentagram intensifies

Snap-release 💪

Unlimited Power!

I did this on my Outremer run. Was super hard because all my kids I kept giving kingdoms to were morons who would lose their thrones within a few years.

5 seconds in and your pronounciation of cagliari gave me whiplash lmfao

A witch dynansty, interesting !

There should be 2 decisions for securing the Mediterranean 1. Secure the Mediterranean (just take over Sicily, corsica, Sardinia, and Mallorca) 2. Complete Mediterranean dominance (rule over krete, cyprus, Aegean islands, Malta, corsica, Sardinia, Mallorca, and sicilly)

Okay, at this point, I think Snap is deliberately mispronouncing Byzantine. Either that, or Snap doesn't read his comments.

This seems a bit like the Mr.Streamer series but I like it

I had a fun playthrough where i managed to get this, started in italy as the duke of tuscany, usurped italy, decided to move to Sicily, so i gave italy to a brother, formed sicily without all the dejure moved to napoli made the sicilian parliment then swore fealty to the Byzantines, warred italy back, usurped the byzantine empire, warred the papcy and stole the popes hat, formed reformist christanity and named myself the head of faith since i owned both rome and Constantinople, made it communion, armed pilgrims, and monastic, then crusaded for isreal. Holy war for alexandria, duchy holy war for tunis. Which allowed me to mend the schism and reform the roman empire. Afterward my vassels started conquering north through bulgaria and russia, and having mended the schism most of western europe bent the knee. Having done basically everything i decided to just destroy the empire titles which granted everyone independance allowing me to grab dynasty of many crowns since my family had become fairly wide with just shy of 200 members i was giving titles to telatives the whole playthrough so yeah almost a perfect run in my opinion i loved stealing the popes hat to then become the new pope

Fun fact, Judikate means "Judge", so you are the Judge of Sardinia.

"We gonna kidnap a lot of children this play though" and there goes the monetization on this video Snap :P

I’ve just started my first serious near Ironman playthrough and I chose to be the basque ruler I can found the kingdom of Aragon but I also own Sardinia almost so perhaps I’ll take this decision I didn’t know it existed

Starting with Cagliari is a very pleasant game, one of my fav, but it's the easy game you can choice !

I would like to see more requirements of forming certain titles because I'm tired of seeing Lotharingia form Italia

should I build buildings that make money or building depends on what men at arm I put in that county?

Do you use altered coat of arms mods?

What mod highlights special buildings?

Can you please test the Lord of the Rings Mod Realms Exile, i realy liked you Game of Thrones Serie and i would like see something similar in Lord of the Rings

So I don't know about you, but generally, when I get the murder at court events, it's cause I ticked a person off. Like I fired this one girl and her husband, and she murdered my wife and a few others. I saw she didn't like me and dismissed her and learned she killed em.

Sould've started as Jar hæsting.

Dude you have to become the Chakravarthi

Why does he still say "Byzantine" like that?

I like the way you play. It's fast paced and zany!!!

Always a good start to a day when you bash your Bishop.

31:15 all your base are belong to us😂

What is each modification used

Funny, I was just playing as the Count of Cagliari 5 minutes ago.

Idk why but I ALWAYS play like this

Dracula next?

Being a Witch and allowing witchery raises the chance of getting Lovers Pox btw

When I Secure the Med I go from 30 gold a month to 4 gold a month. Can anyone tell me why this happens? Does the game auto fill out titles?

so i was doing a similar kind of start got a claim on pisa from the pope which is a king level title then i swear fealty to the hre and they vote for me to be heir and i do a plot to kill the emperor he dies first try im emperor enemies everywhere everyone wants me dead so i give the pope all the lands he forms an emperor level title as the pope and after a bit the hre title gets destroyed and i swear fealty to the emperor pope 10/10 i dont think that would happen again if you tried a million times. it was a at point limit created character lmao

I see someone's neen watching mr Samuel streamer

Huzzah, a playthrough of culture! Not marrying your family to other family members for stats! I hate all the incest in this game! I feel like we don't see enough of this in CK3 youtubers :^P

As cagliaritan it hurts me every time I hear the name in english

Got in the top ten I think 🤙🏼

For those wondering, opinion doesn't matter when converting to witchcraft, just learning skill

didn't know the British pronounced byzantine like that...

I had a fam with 1400+ ppl i saved over it By accident😔

i cheesed this achievement by becoming the greatest of Khan around year 900. invaded and gave away kingdoms to dynasty members

Remember kids: The horned God is your friend Don’t talk to cops Hail Satan.

The cuts so fast i cant keep on:(

Bin-zyn tine. Not by-zyn.

I actually accidentally got this achievement playing a Basquean custom ruler, with ironman still enabled, starting with Fecund, Beautiful and Witch.

you didn't build siege lol

For the first time in CK history the Pope is actually pious.

surprised you didnt join a kingdom as a vassel to get the three dukes then uprising. i never became a witch id love to try to do the coven thing. if only you can marry your cousins. mods??? lol. as if they didnt do that in real life come on very common with the nobles. but it make it way easier to marry family and convert no? and as islam you can have 4 wives.... witches everywhere. weeee. how do you get witches to pop just random? but i love the idea of controlling the mediterrian except for the embark charge :(. i never done the isle of man start either i hear its strong now.

Arguably one of the easiest decisions in the game. Blobbing is easy All you got to do is give him away after that

Waiting for Israel as the only jewish count in 867.

(D:jD

The fact that Sardinia was known for kindapping children and famous people is actually cool

FIRST ONE HERE

doesnt north france have a culture thing that gives you renown for every romance? just spam romance schemes and pump kids everywhere

This video confirms that English speaking people can't pronounce Italian correctly 😂😂😂 the G in Cagliari is a soft g, so it sounds more like the g in the word gnome rather than a hard g like gap

Imagine speedrunning saying first

Hard to follow. He’s going way too fast

bro made 2 allies and bought 2k mercenaries just to fight 3k troops in a civil war lmao

Am i really first?
