Robert the Fox has the best start in Crusader Kings III (CK3), beginning his journey in the strategic location of Sicily. With his cunning and resourcefulness, he can steal Byzantium (Byzantine Empire) and the Holy Roman Empire, two of the most formidable realms in CK3. CK3 is definitely a very fun game, but conquering Byzantium and the HRE is an incredibly difficult feat, let alone accomplishing it in a single generation. Yet, this overpowered character can basically do whatever he wants.
In this thrilling playthrough, we delve into the intricacies of Robert's campaign, demonstrating how to leverage his unique starting position and powerful traits to achieve the unthinkable. We explore the best tactics for using Robert's initial advantages to outmaneuver rivals and secure critical alliances in CK3. From diplomatic marriages to strategic warfare, every decision is crucial in our quest to dominate the medieval world.
Throughout the campaign, we master the art of diplomacy and warfare, navigating the complex political landscape of CK3. We use diplomacy to forge alliances and manipulate rivals, while also employing brute force to expand our dominion over Byzantium and the Holy Roman Empire. Witness the formation of the unprecedented Holy Byzantine Empire, a powerful entity that merges the might of the Holy Roman Empire with the legacy of Byzantium, all starting from the humble beginnings in Sicily.
Our journey is not without challenges. We face numerous adversaries and obstacles that test our strategic prowess. The constant threat of rebellion, the scheming of rivals, and the unpredictability of medieval politics in CK3 make our conquest all the more thrilling. However, with careful planning and decisive actions, we overcome these challenges, proving that even the most daunting conquests are within reach for a skilled leader like Robert the Fox.
This video is packed with tips and tricks for both new and experienced players looking to enhance their CK3 strategies. We provide in-depth analysis of gameplay mechanics, offering insights into troop movements, resource management, and political manipulation. Whether you're here for the historical intrigue, the strategic depth, or simply to see an overpowered character in action, there's something for everyone.
Join us on this epic journey as we redefine what it means to rule in Crusader Kings III. Experience the thrill of uniting two great empires under one banner and the satisfaction of outsmarting your foes.

It's so funny, even though this is clearly gaming it a bit Robert is called "The Fox" because of how cunning he was, so him going from absolute nobody to Emperor of Rome is absolutely based and I love it. I might actually have to try this. Also extra props for restoring Chadhemonds inheritance.

In a recent patch, you can get an event as robert allowing you to put a false pretender on the byzantine throne and take kingdom of epirus from them, you get extra soldiers so it's stupidly easy to do since byzantines are stuck fighting the seljuks. Honestly been enjoying playing as a manipulator trying to control the east, I have my half brother on the jerusalem throne, alliances with the byzantines france and england and dominance over the tyrhennian sea, next plan is to try and either collapse the HRE to get them out of italy or go into hispania

I have tried this and I will earn everyone, this run takes too much RNG to do. Many of the runs don't even start right because the starting perks are not quite right bringing a lot of stress and the starting education being 5 stars is also rare. Then there is the fact that your nephew can sometimes covet your claims and become a rival once you get the claim for the HRE, he often tries to kill you You can also end up getting infirm very early like in one of my runs which runs everything, a plague could kill you too. 2/5 attempts of mine had the byzantine emperor discover the scheme and end it. Only 1/5 of my runs did I get the required Ally numbers to even beat the byzantine emperor, there is a layer of RNG even in that. Therefore my conclusion is, do not try this if you think this is a good way to start the run, it is a fun gimmick run you can try but it will fail most of the times due to the layers of RNG involved
@Wazlos
@Wazlos 12 күн бұрын
I will say, rng is a thing to consider but generally it is still pretty possible most of the time. No position is untenable but you should be able to accomplish this even with a character who isn't as good as Robert the fox. I do agree the RNG can be annoying a bit but it is more than possible to do

I come with a plausible idea since I thought about it. Try the Islamic​ emirates of Sicily. There's a secret option the Sicilians can do that's about rebuilding a certain parliament building after owning stuff in southern Italy and other stuff it can do. Thing is, clan government aka the Muslims can do this too, meaning you could make a hyprid arabo-sicilian Muslim culture that dominates southern Italy/historical borders of the actual emirate of Sicily at its peak, all of Italy or even more. Recommend either the emirate of Sicily or tunis as a start. Could even be the beginning of a multi episode series of making a blursed reformed roman empire/roman caliphate under this culture but that's pushing far I know. If you didn't have an idea yet of what to do yet and if you did, here's a free video/videos idea you could do for free!@@Wazlos
