If you want to see more CK3 guides, let me know! I'm already working on challenge videos, but there are enough people interested in learning the game I'll be happy to make a series of guides for this.

Thanks bro, my Grandma just invaded wales thanks to your guide. This is high quality man, I don’t know how you organize these massive info rich guides. Well done!

If my grandma plays this, she'll be sure that all the Irish are good catholic boys.

Thank you SO MUCH for this! I just started recently, and while I love the idea of an open ended history game with no end goal, it's very overwhelming to try and get anything done. The tutorials are fairly well crafted but there's still so much it seems they can't teach you without otherwise overwhelming you. This is a huge help!

My favorite strategy guy doing my most played game. Love it. There’s really not a top Ck3 KZfaqr putting out consistent videos. Best of luck filling the niche!

Grandma said she spent more time pausing and rewinding than actually watching because he was going so fast!

I'm 5 minutes in and I had to pause to put CK3 on my Wishlist - excellent delivery this is the exact content I want when trying out a new game. I will return when I play the game! Excellent work yet again Strat!

I absolutely love your deadpan sense of humor - please make more CK3 guides, I've always wanted to get into the game but it sounds pretty intimidating for a newbie. This video should help a ton!

Thank you so much!! I have been looking for ages for a guide JUST like this! CK3 is such an incredible game, but it's HUGE and I find myself sitting there often not knowing what to do, so this was incredibly helpful! Please make more in this series! :D

Man, thank you so much! I had tried playing like 3 different times and every time I would just get totally paralized trying to understand all the different dynamics and stuff and literally never even clicked unpause because I had no idea what to do. I took your advice (although I started with the Petty King Murchad campaign and things were a little bit different) and I quickly grabbed some land and have just created the Kingdom of Ireland. Thank you so much! Please make more CK3 guides.

Really excited to see this channel cover this game. Pdx games are just so complex and after self learning HOI4 I have lost all patience and really need someone to guide me through other games! Thanks again XD

Great stuff as always Strat! Haven't played this game myself but always fun to see your insight and strategy in these kinds of games!

a REALLY solid guide; TY. absolutely would love to see more and a continuation

I've always wanted to get into CK3, but it's always felt more complicated. Please do more of this!

This is wonderful! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Something that shows me step-by-step how this game works and what I'm supposed to do! Thank you!

Just... WOW! This guide is so clear and well explained. Please, please, please do more CK3 videos! This was so informative and helped me a lot on my own first playthrough. Now that i've got armies and combat under my belt, i'd like to learn more about the management of domains, etc... Again, extremely well made video!

Strat. My dude. Perfect timing with a video AGAIN. I've been using your Bannerlord guides for ages, started CK3 for the first time last night but quickly gave up with all the new mechanics to learn. Knew I needed to watch some guides, then you drop this one on exactly the day I needed it. Thanks for all the work you put in man 👍

I'd love to see a continuation of this series, especially since I suck at making the most of my holdings in Crusader Kings 3

Sup! Uí Mháine [ee-wahn-ya] used to be one of the oldest and largest kingdoms in Ireland and it was in Connacht. It was very large, and it had around a thousand square miles, and it had two tribes - Tethbae and Connacht - that were separated by the Shannon River.

Very happy with the paradox stuff along with bannerlord!

MORE GUUUUIDES, honestly would love to see a huge Guide Playlist in CK3 from you.

Teaching through a play through is so much better than clicking through every single option and mechanic and explaining things. Thanks

That's a great start to the video "If you're brand new to CK3"...I'm not "or if you're just terrible"...now you're speaking my language. Also, yes to more CK3 guides, your videos on Bannerlord are the only ones I can bother watching when I get the time, lol.

Bring more. I love how you bring it now to the core level. Just got CK3 because of your guide.

Strat, thank you. I knew of this game but didn't know much about it. Added to wishlist after this. Your guides are sleek af and legit useful.

Love ck3. I have hundreds of hours in thr game and its so awesome seeing you pick it up. Cant wait to see more!

Awesome and straight to the point. 50 hours in and never really thought to move my rally point. Thanks for the guide!

Great video - overwhelming to get started even with the tutorial, but this helps to focus what to start with. Would love to see a continuation of this or a series that would go into the other features of the base game.

Great video - would love to see a CK3 play through series from your channel. Love your Bannerlord content - great work!

For sure would be interested in more mechanic videos. I like this game a lot but theres so much that's not super well explained. This was very helpful to get a basis for some of the game mechanics. Thanks Strat

good tip for getting good council members and knights early game is arranging marriage for the women in your court, usually you can find unlanded folks who have high skill and prowess. just make sure matrilineal marriage is ticked when arranging marriage otherwise the male wont come to your court.

Please continue the guides on using this save. Would be great to see you finish this series with putting yourself in a position that you can call the save as ‘completed’

Great guide! Love how you keep it movin'.

Would love to see a continuation of this series !!

Really happy to see you play this game ! Hopefully you'll do it again 😊

For the most part, I already was aware of most of the things in the video, but there are always one or two amazing little things you tend to overlook when learning by yourself, and one was the rally point. Thanks for mentioning that because I doubt I would've noticed you could change it for quite awhile lol

This video was great. A follow up on how to run a kingdom, or how to deal with neighboring kingdoms would be great!

Yes finally!!! I can't wait to see your videos covering this wonderful game!

Finally a Video about CK3!!! I WAS WAITING SO LONG!!!! I hope you will make plenty videos about this game

So simple but helpful! Best easy to learn tutorial i have seen yet 🙌

Thanks a lot for this GED lvl guide, amigo! I've been eying this game on the Xbox for a while but was so intimidated by its vast scope. I'm taking it bit by bit. Decided to download now. I'll be watching more of your videos. You have a new Sub!!

YESSSSS. Was just looking for new guide to this game!

Wow, your guide is amazing. I love it! 100/100!

This was so helpful! Thank you!

Never thought would end up watching your video on CK3. Now I will have hell of a ride through CK3 like I had with Bannerlord. Thank you very much.

I need this video for eu4 now

This already helped me. Ive lived so long and yet did not advance at all. This will change, thank you.

I know this is 5 months old. But that might have been the best beginners guide of any game I have played.

Its been a while since I played CK3 but i might just start playing again. Can't wait for more guides.

Thats is a good beginner guide. I have a big problem with the vasals. Hope you make more like this. Thank for your time to do this

My dude I have been waiting for a video like this that breaks down the immensity of a world wide micro intensive macro game

Just got this game last night on gamepass to give it a try, but got kinda overwhelmed. This was a good starting point! Thanks for making it

I love you!!!! I want to play this game so bad on xbox, but don't really know anyone that does guides like you, the time you spend doing this is huge. Keep up the good work and never forget to rest. Love from Portugal! ❤

Great now I might get into CK3. Always looked interesting from some other creators but now I can see the basics.

The only guide here that actually helped me out! thanks a bunch

Would love to see this continued as a guide or more guides from you your bannerlord stuff is still the best on YT

I just got the game yesterday and now you post this guide haha

I love the fact you dip into paradox and KCD

THANK YOU.This was the first video when i get it.Others just talk and talk and talk and i just don't get anything.You save my day,bro. 👍👍👍.

38:10 would have been an ideal time to attack as you also had the defensive bonus from the castle, low on supply, and recently embarked, not sure if you would get a debuff from the river though.

I got rather frustrated with the rng of CK3 a few months ago and uninstalled it. Seeing you give such a well put together guide gave me the motivation to give it another go. My game lasted all of 20 minutes, because the first guy I went to war with allied with a far superior force. I love the look and feel of CK3, but god its rng is game killing for me.

Cheers man, your guide was just what I needed to get stuck into this game

I came by when you started with BL2, now I am back here for CK3. You indeed have a good taste my man. I Love ya!

Thank you for the guide! I love how you never overload me with information which can easily happen when explaining CK3. would you ever do a playthrough on youtube?

Love that you are trying new games, this one is a favorite of mine I hope it catches you as well. I will be following your dynastic adventures. I wonder if you will every throw a gander at a game like Battle Brothers, asking because it seems to me that its scratching certain itch that Bannerlord, CK3 and Wartales scratched but it seems to be doing it better than most.

just subbed, your guides are amazing, and funny

thanks for helping m with the combat system i just got the game i found this really helpful

yes, please, i would very like a continuation of this

Its about time! this game was made for you, its so percentage based and you seem pretty meticulous bout that kinda stuff!

Thanks for the guide I've been playing ck2 since 2013 and everything looked different. Made me feel old.

Bout to watch this on my breaks at work, thanks m8

Great video. I was quite intimidated when I tried CK3. Might give it another shot after this

i have 200 plus hours and i never knew you could station units. this guide is extremely helpful.

great vid but as someone who spent weeks IRL time playing this game, I would say that there is definitely few simple and crucial tricks that weren't mentioned 1- The house guard perk is OP early game so as knights and should be rushed 2- you can hire/find good knights without spending gold by giving them any kind of land (same for council and vassals) 3- when your opponent's embarks he loses 30 advantage for a month which is a huge debuff early game (that's why the AI plays a game of tag while embarking sometimes) 4- making alliances with children 5- a good marshal is a must especially early game, a good steward is also useful 6- giving council positions to incompetent characters can be worse than not having any 7- CK3 favors quality rather than quantity so looking to build an army with strong knights and MAA with high advantage would easily cause you to win when outnumbered 8- terrain WIDTH (This one is overlooked by most CK3 players but it plays a huge role in certain cases 9- warscore and how it works 10- recruiting prisoners and more... It's seems like a long list for a beginner plug and play guide but it really isn't, they could easily fit with in those 40 mins

i definitely want to see what you need to do next

I usually wait the first year before attacking anyone because there is a lot of raiding going on that first year. Build your army and defeat the raiders first (and perhaps do some raiding yourself, even raiding your eventual target to weaken them first). Then when any potential raiders are too weak to raid you is when you start conquering.

Amazing! Thank you so much!

Set your court marshal to train commanders. Your knights/shorveers will gain prowess an martial skill, and if your marshal has high enough martial skill, will eventually give special traits that boost prowess even more. It also acts as a recruiter of knights/shorveers. A pop up will happen and you can decide to accept the up and coming guy or not. Just click on the dude and see his stats, if prowess is 10 or above snag him. The more prowess knights you have, the more “quality” your overall army will be.

moar of this...would love a part 2, im new to the game and im using your vid as a starter guide, watched many times now :) but im ready for the next phase...

Thank you for the video! I really need one for succession... always makes me give up my save when i have a nice territory then i die and it gets all splitted up

Massive help thank you mate, great guide.

>does the tutorial >Everything is going smoothly >About to take my first city >CPU literally spawns 800+ army to wipe me out Every. Single. Time.

i'm not exactly a new player (i have around 30 hours) but i never managed to fully grasp all the mechanics, thanks a lot !

Great to see you cover CK3

I am at that point in the tutorial campaign and would be interested how you get off of ireland and towards england. great guide so far.

Wow, what a relief to hear a familiar voice from the banner lord community guiding me into ck3 for my first time :D

Loved this just got into this game after sleeping on it for so long and im kinda mad i waited haha i did notice how you declared war for county but didnt need a cesus billi (i can never remeber the actual name) unless you had one on all of them and i just missed something regardless ill deff be checking out your other videos :)

Looking forward to next guide 🎉

Thank whoever (u) this video exists, I have watched countless videos and red many guides trying to figure out how to play this game beyond a few months in of getting raided consistently. I have never had a successful game I've never really made much money or expanded no matter what difficulty I'm on or traits that I acquire... But this video is eue opening to the early game.

Even though I've played way too much of both ck2 and ck3 I love watching these tutorial videos idk why.

Was there a follow on to this video? Want to see if he maintains and eventually moves into an Empire.

Oh god yes! The other videos were pretty confusing, it would be great if you could make more beginners guides, maybe going into more detail about the stuff that was skipped?

Please make more ck3 content your stuff is amazing bro

@strat-guides could you do a part 2 to this, like a how to advance your kingdom kind of thing?

LOVE YOUR GUIDE on CK3, just got it and when opened it up, my brain went into a " jellied, dumb, mess mode " LOL, with your guide, gonna set the game for windowed mode, so can play it, along with your video, thanks so much, as I'm English, living in London, and have an obsession with history, used to play board wargames, in early 1980's, so love all the Milit., Social, and politics of the middle ages, have HOI IV, which just got as well, thats another Mind Blower, when opening, I have recently built my own PC, which is verrrrry powerful, for my art, but now hooked on playing, Milit. sim's, have also Call to arms: Gate's of hell, Steel Divison 2 etc etc, like a kid in a toyshop LOL Keep up the good work, and thanks, for all your time and effort !!!!!! Steve from London UK

This game looks interesting. I'd like more, I love to see an Elder Scrolls modded playthrough

would love to see another video!

So what are some quick tips on continuing after this video? Followed along and not sure what to do next.

lets go , lovely keep going brother ♥

This is a great guide! Make more with the same style for other strategy games. What do you think about producing guides for Total War in the future? You might very likely get early access to TW Pharaoh. It's not a great game but I think you could capitalize on its popularity and the next TW games.
