Start bribing/killing troublemakers before they become a problem. If Count Whazhisface is grumpy because he wants some mayor to serve him directly, just let him do it unless you have a pressing reason not to.Ģ) Keep an eye on "factions" tab. You can see exactly why they are mad at you if you hover over their opinion score for you. Here's a few thing that took me forever to figure out because I tried to just jump in.ġ) Sometimes your vassals are mad at you over stupid things.
Crusader kings 2 plus forums series#
Arumba's series are generally pretty good he keeps the action moving at a decent pace and he's been around long enough so there are plenty of videos that encompass the game's entire lifespan. My main go to source of information is "lets play" videos. Without these you'll find yourself just staring at the screen wishing something would happen then suddenly your kingdom falls apart because Arabs decided to invade you.
Crusader kings 2 plus forums how to#
The three biggest skills you need in Crusader Kings 2 is, how to keep your kingdom falling apart when you go from one king to the next, how to manage disasters, and how to start trouble. With a little bit of work you can take the whole island for yourself and move on. There are a bunch of one province rulers you can play, you aren't next to Arabs (they are super scary), it is easy to cause trouble without getting into to much trouble, and the location is isolated enough so that trouble doesn't usually find you. Next Ireland is largely considered "Tutorial Island". When you take advice make sure you realize rhat some of the advice given to you might be impossible because a lot of veteran players have had the DLC for so long they can't remember what vanilla is like. The various DLC does everything from doubling the map, letting you barrow ridiculous sums of money from the Jews, expelling said Jews when they ask for their money back, having the year start as early as 849ish, et cetera. First and foremost make note of what DLC you are using. Getting started with Crusader Kings is a bit of a chore but once you get it, it isn't so bad. Pick a spouse (or spouses) with Genius, Quick, or Strong, have a lot of children, find people with good stats and great training traits (their first trait for any adult) to tutor your kids, watch them grow up into excellent people and then try to marry them off or something.Īsking on the forum helps, too, because some options are kinda hidden (for example, to estimate a ruler's strength: click no his portrait, find the realm tree dialog, mouse over his picture in it to see a levy count) and some mechanical interactions aren't obviously signposted (for example, a general with 20 Martial but the Craven trait is actually pretty crap at leading troops in the field make him your marshal helping you raise levies or research tech or whatever instead). Try a game where you focus on getting really cool children. As a pagan, you can basically be at war permanently with ease which makes this a good way to learn how to manage your troops and not bite off more than you can chew.Ĥ. When you need money, get a stack of guys, click the little raid button in their troop bar, and send them into enemy territory (or take a boat to a coastal place, if you are Viking). You have to do very little claim management (just don't waste your once-in-a-lifetime "subjugation"). If you have Old Gods, play a pagan for a bit. Briefly play a county (independent or not, doesn't really matter) and marvel at how slow and useless you are.ģ.
Play one of the "interesting characters" and just go crazy repainting the map with your event troops and making marriage alliances and stuff until you run out of steam, which you are going to do eventually since you don't really know what you're doing.Ģ. Plus I did a bit of savescumming to try out how certain actions would turn out.ġ.
I've got like six games I started and abandoned, which taught me various things. My strategy for learning the game was basically to much around and screw up a lot. I think I'm solidly getting the hang of it now.
