I love the idea that at the family feast all the children are talking about how lucky their family is while gramps is on the corner talking to himself and twitching
"Grandfather it is truly impressive how quickly we rose to the top! Surely God has smiled down on us!" _Gramps is just looking at his grandkid with the thousand-yard stare, whispering something about voices_
things can arise that lower the chance of success. Also, I have had the 5% chance of failure hit way more than 5% of the time. So, I also overshoot the 95%, just to be sure.
I did a playthrough like this in Bohemia and my peak renown was 40/month it was insane. I think i had 2 emperors and 9 kings that were of my dynasty. Had a lot of fun
Bro same, must be a good starting area, I just map painted though and granted kingdoms to family. Wasnt my intention but I was just always stronger than my rivals and kept being able to vassalize the small states inbetween kingdoms, Most of England and all of Scandinavia were gonna be push-overs but again i wasnt aiming to map paint, when that king eventually died I somehow was able to fight off all the vassal wars and keep all of mainland western Europe only conceding an authority level as I had lost 2/3 of my vassals and levies, think I had 6 wars going and 30000 strength through kingdom alliances despite most the vassals being at war with me, had 60,000 enemy troops roaming my capital before conceding the authority level. All before 1066- best playthrough thus far.
I love how once he stepped away, most of it collapsed. Like they stayed in power in many places, but the AI really made it fall apart in some places (or at least visually on the house map).
@@cialnorthall8796 Wouldn't it just be due to culture differences and things like that? Most regular ai rulers are already the culture and religion of their people
The editing is superb in this one. You're getting better and better. And a good execution of the video idea. Really liked it. I think I'll try that one soon. Especially liked the one at the end with watching your dynasty survive. Would like to see that more often
Thank you man appreciate it a lot! Was one of the most fun games I’ve had, it’s my fault for not getting into intrigue properly before but it’s a great
Yeah, it's best to do this to try and get your player heir installed somewhere, and/or just do this while at the same time growing your own empire by declaring war, kidnapping the enemy leader, and forcing surrender.
@@Ahrone1586 if you make a cadet branch, you become house head, but your dynasty head remains the same. _but_ if you muster up a significantly larger military force than your dynasty head, you become dynasty head again, as far as i understand it at least I think that's why he said that
You didn't show how OP it is to kidnap people just after declaring war to enforce demands. Gotta grow your own empire too to maintain dynasty leadership.
Love how you play around with different effects. Just the way you said "and kill him" out of the blue at 7:50 and the oh no anyway 🤣 You're not just a great editor, you have great comedic timing. The only PDX-Tuber that can get laughs hahaha. Tho with how powerful intrigue compared to other Lifestyles (The aim is to spread your Dynasty far and wide, Learning won’t plant your Dynasty on many thrones, and Martial conquering isn’t as fast) wonder if it will be nerfed or others strengthened?
I'm going to reattach this several times, song with your other guides - there's so much I picked up. Main one is how to target members of an enemy's court. I kept hearing people say they were doing it, but never quite saw how!
My last CK3 playthrough: Sired my murderer, my son, who kidnapped his sister to forcibly marry her. She was betrothed to another (outside our family) so it led to war, hence how I was murdered. Then my inbreeding patricidal son became my character. So I conquered a third of Europe before he was hunted down by the Pope (long horrific story). He was executed (spoilers lol)
So I've been giving this strategy a good go and everything looks right on paper, but time and again, despite only ever going with 90%+ odds my fabricate hooks and murder attempts keep being discovered and I'm revealed as the culprit. Something doesn't seem right. Is it possible my own spymaster is selling me out every time? I have a lot of mods, but can't find anything referenced in any of them that says they might be causing this constant failure?
That does seem strange, someone mentioned in my livestream a week or so ago that they kept having failing schemes that were at 95% i've never had it happen and I've played the game with a bunch of mods, but yeah i suppose it could be one? or maybe some sort of bug? im sorry i got no clear answers for you!
@@SnapStrategy I did notice that it was almost impossible to keep a high positive relationship up with my spy master, it kept slipping down to positive thirties only, which was also odd as no mention of issues, rivalries and the like. So I swapped out the spymaster for one of my sons who had way less intrigue. But that seemed to increase my odds of success to something a bit better. However, I still suspect one of my AI mods, as I've also begun to notice nofications of significant people to me dying who are from far flung places that I've never met or interacted with 🤔 Will try an Ironman on my next run through.
Prowess matters, and Title ranked portrait borders! i recently made a about the best graphics mods for ck3, so could be worth checking that out for more similar changes! :)
Worth noting too, and you might have done it, but I didn’t see it, and honestly with how old your character was at the time, I probably wouldn’t have done it either, but anyway - if you play Catholic, you can get indulgences from the Pope that make “murderer” “adulterer” and “fornicator” and similar ones go away if you didn’t know.
I still did not have the time to seethe vídeo, but one question: how do you plan to keep your heir being the head of the dinasty if you are only a vassal and you will have other family members that will be powerful kings?
aay finally someone repping my local dorset just switch the name wessex with dorset and eventually britannia with Dorsetannia and u got a solid video here my guy
Love this style of play through! Thank you for the setup video as well. Cant wait to try this out. Do you have any recommendations on counts that would be best suited for this? Did you choose yours because he was outside of any Karling territory and you wanted to take that all over eventually? Great content, keep it up!
I like to play the ruling from the shadows type of game but never go down the intrigue route I just rely on a good spymaster so only thing i cant do is abduct, which you dont really need imho it's more important to have lots of cash to bribe!! :) Good vid though
Game: *son, primary heir is ded* Me: WHO KILLED HIM?! Game: *The Marshall who was sparing with him, It was an accident* Me: Imprison him, torture him, strip him off his titles and execute him!
Dear Snap Strategy!! You can salfely ransom enemy war leaders as you could have ransomed at the first territory gain in this video. Free pocket gold and the count and any close relatives would escape your prison as the deal is made. It may help your cause in the future.
One of the best, inspiring and ....... funny play thoughs I've seen! Just about to start my own game. *Edit* You should also look at the Diplomacy tree; the left and middle (can't remember their names) provide amazing bonuses to Sway and Gift results. In a few rushed games I found that I had to many weak hooks and found myself just 10-20 points away from marriges. Therefore 1 in displomacy (left) and 1 in August (middle) and 3 in Gallant (martial right) really helped here. Though it did mean I didn't really have time for Torturer and whole of body. I'm going to start another play through later. I might try and create a small duchy (playing tall) for a generation or two then hit Intrigue. I would imagine as a Duke the 'marrying down' might improve as minus 80 hurts.
I can't believe how quickly you play. I feel like an addled child trying to navigate through the menus. I'm guessing you've got thousands of hours played at this point. I've got 170 hours and I still feel like I started learning to play yesterday. Great vids though. I'm gonna use them to get better.
One of my favorite bits of CK3 compared to CK2 in a way. Or at least one I really enjoyed. It was just how much I felt like the Dynasty game was interesting and useful by comparison. In CK2 I never really bothered with it. Not much point. In CK3 I'm constantly plotting to bare minimum aim for "Dynasty of Many Crowns" as it's just too useful not to. Which often leads to those fun little moments of seeing just how your random schemes to install such and such figure goes 120 years later.
did go fore a shadowy type or worior play throughs at first its very fun. getting to stuck in the meta game stewardship.gotta stop and go back it makes the game alot more interesting. also fun video btw big 👍 from me
I also wondered about this, but if I've understood the plan correctly, spare sons won't matter in the succession because you're not going for multiple holdings, rather staying as a small defensible power base that you will always inherit or can easily retake. And should any brothers become overly bothersome then I guess we know what happens to them = )
Adding to this son's inherit less if they already own holdings and such especially if you can get to high partition ur set and ur holdings are mostly safe

Yes, for a minute I thought I was on the Spifin Brit channel.
the bad part about this playstyle is that you lose the title of dynasty head and don't get to spend the renown you work so hard to build up
Yeah, it's best to do this to try and get your player heir installed somewhere, and/or just do this while at the same time growing your own empire by declaring war, kidnapping the enemy leader, and forcing surrender.
Yeah best to do this in the background while going for an emperor rank somewhere in your own backyard by doing the whole abduct-declaration
This is why you need to make cadet branches

This sounds like a really fun playstyle. I only really like the roleplaying aspects of ck3 so I'll definitely try this.
I like this. I play a lot of steward/Marshall so seeing an intrigue playthrough where you are just a sneaky serial killer is exciting

intrigue has to be one of the most fun way of playing ck3, my favorite by far!
If I were to take a drink every time Snap says the word "murder", I would be dad twice of alcohol overdose, probably dead in my next life as well 😂
This character was actually terrifying. The cloak made him intimidating.
He wasn't physically scary. It's just knowing how dangerous this dude was truly was...
