Hey everyone, thanks for watching! If you want some tips on how to improve in CK2 rather than a flat out Tutorial, check this video out!: th-cam.com/video/BRqWXfhSr-M/w-d-xo.html&t
@@loctavius I'd love to! I just want to get better at EU4 first. CK2 and HoI4 are my jam. I'm decent at EU4, but not good enough for my own standards. I want to really know my shit before I make a tutorial on it.
Hey guys this is douchehead the third coming back at you with another video this time how to play... nope my ears are already bleeding first video I've watched from this guy and I like him
I played a few Sid Meir's Civilization so I thought I'd give this a try. Literally 2 minutes into the game *WHERE AM I. WHERE IS EVERYONE. WHO ARE YOU.*
@@patrickjin6610 Same boat as you...I recommend if you come from Civ or Hoi that the next game you jump into is Stellaris because they are pretty close. EU4 and Vicki are a pain in the ass to learn and CK2 is easier and is a good transition game but it still has quite a curve to it (especially between vanilla and DLCs)
3 hours in - Why would anyone play this? 15 hours in - I won the war, but marched my army through a plague province and died. 30 hours in - Wait, i can dismiss my armies? 50hours in - I'm married to my mothers daughter who is also my aunt. 250 hours in - Non Nobis Domine, all infidels must burn. 1000 hours in - *Chaos is a ladder.*
Best tutorial I've seen yet. You've hit most of the points that will allow you to jump in and play without wasting an extra 20 min repeating yourself, jabbering about DLC and what makes the game special, or explaining things that are self evident from a little play. Concise and to the point, I love it.
I am currently 8 seconds into the video and I want to thank you for not putting a needless 30 second to 2 minute intro into this video. It’s a breath of fresh air on TH-cam these days!
Dark souls: Roll around avoid attacks. Crusader Kings 2: Imprison and execute your wife/cousin because she became too old. Marry a new wife/cousin, however she is 16 so she can make a lot more children for you, who you then can use to marry off for political gain. Now all that is left is to assassinate possible Rivals, Revolts and maybe some of your kids if they aren't good enough and want land that they don't deserve.
The best tip of all is to not care about winning or losing. Just play the game, try out different actions, don't be invested in the outcome. Don't worry about strategy or anything. The real joy of Crusader kings is the stories you create. I once had many children. I'd often hear the pitter patter of little feet running around late at night, waking up to discover another of my children dead. Then it turned out one of my sons was, let's say, elimating the competition. He was gifted, so I was conflicted. I didn't punish him, as there was no hard proof. He grew up to be a genius and probably the best, most gifted and talented person in my dynasty.
@@bruhmcchaddeus413 No, in fact, throughout the classical period and the Middle Ages it was quite common for a girl to get married at 12 and a boy to get married at 15, as girls already knew at that time that they matured sexually before boys, they could already be mothers, while men were able to become mothers. opposite, first the body developing physically and then sexually, it was not uncommon to see parents in both families marrying their children young, unusual was the fact that a woman or man is not married until the age of 16 or 20, marriage only became common between adults at the age of 18 upwards during the 18th and 19th centuries, but throughout the classical and medieval periods, getting married at 18 or 20 was quite unusual Remember that for thousands of years life expectancy was quite low, reaching 30 being quite impressive, which is why people at that time were in a hurry to get their children married as early as possible.
people are complaining about how this game is too complex for them and assume a tutorial will make them masters at the game. in order to benefit from tutorials, you must take everything from this video and apply it to your gameplay UNTIL you understand it.
@Dutch Mapping Same! I didn't even do the game's toturial and just kept on pushing foward until I understood the game. Aaaand now i have 4000+ hours in the game.
@@ThatBlueHawkEye I started the games tutorial, then noped out because of just WALLS of text, started playing the game reading some gametips and working along the notifications for starters and I´m currently just doing exactly what is recommended. Play around on Ireland :D Works fine so far. I mean, 2 of my characters got murdered but I always had heirs so who cares xD
Ravielsk You might want to learn what a fucking tutorial is lmao. Expecting it to be what it’s not, and was never intended to be is stupid and the fault of the user. This game is too deep to teach in 30 minutes. There are too many features, options, and situations. This is meant to expedite the learning process, that will simply require playing or watching many hours of gameplay. If this tutorial didn’t give you the tools to open your first game with a mild understanding of the point of the game and some of the tools at your disposal maybe you aren’t as capable a human being as you had imagined. Expecting it to make you a master after 30 minutes simply implies you are ignorant to the games depth or simply an imbecile...
Installed the game, turned it on, clicked yes to the learning scenario, a box popped up saying close this box and unpause the game... and from that moment on I had absolutely zero clue what to do. One of the most inaccessible games I've ever seen!!!
Yeah I remember when I first played CK2 i tried the tutorial, and it was absolute shit. I honestly can't remember how I learned how to play it, but I'd say out of all the Paradox games I have, I suck at this one the most, but it can be the most fun sometimes.
Well ot wants to be as realistic as possible. If you want your kingdom to prosper, you'll have to learn how. The magic of it is that when you'll learn it, there still be something you don't know of. Dark souls is the same thing, it teaches you basic movement and gives you a big "fuck you, learn the hard way" tutorial boss. But still, out of all Paradox games, CK2 is the hardest to learn.
TalkinHead9 no. It’s a great game, yes, but part of being a good game is making it enjoyable. There are plenty of games that have a lot of depth and take ages to get your head around everything whilst giving you a good UI and guiding you through the basics you need to get started. If I hadn’t been playing with friends my first time I wouldn’t have given this game a chance because of how bad the UI is.
@@talkinhead9649 I've played games of every kind since the mid 80s. I've played games that relied on having an instruction manual just to basically start. I'm not a "casual" by any means - that's not the position I'm coming from here. I'm not criticising the quality of CK2 at all other than it being horrendous for a new player to delve into. And that is a valid criticism of it. There's a reason this video exists as an example - the game quite literally NEEDS a better explanation of what the actual hell you do in it. It's similar in a way to Rimworld or Dwarf Fortress - some of the best games I've played full stop - but it even makes those games look like childs' play in comparison in terms of accessibility.
You were probably wondering how on earth it's possible to do this "tutorial" in half an hour... It took me a lot of youtube tutorials and about 80 hrs of gametime to wrap my head around this game, and I still have moments where I wonder if I didn't miss some basic and important things. Ck2. It's something different allright... (b.t.w. : Love all paradox games. Have EU4 and HOI4 as well, and also spent quite a lot of time on those)
Merlijn U I don't think I even watched any tutorials when I first started ck2..took me about 10 hours of gameplay to understand all the features and mechanics.. I learnt the basic mechanics in 3 hours, and the rest as I went down the line..this was just the base game though -- I learnt the dlc mechanics about 2 hours (on average) after getting each and everyone of them. Edit: now that I think back on it; the base game is 90% different compared to having all the Dlc enabled. At the time, I was astonished by how different it was when I got some dlc..lol
It's got a lot of depth (just like the other paradox strategy games). There's just too much in this game to totally wrap your head around in 10 hrs. I can still find buttons every now and then, containing info that I didn't know was readily available, even after about 400 hrs into the game, lol. After playing vanilla for all that it's worth the dlc's are a walk in the park.
I mostly just learned from watching play throughs and the first 50 hours of gameplay and I still learn something new every time I play, like the fact that if theres a spymaster that won’t join a plot, try to invite him to your court and see if you can bribe the new one.
I got the game as a present when it first came out. I just kept playing as Harold Godwin and then restarting every time I was beaten. It took me about 40 goes but eventually I won the war against William the Bastard and Harald Hardrada and by that time I could play the game.
Really late but in vanilla the reason the society button is there is so you can secretly join other religions and try to convert other people, secretly, to that religion.
I GAWKED when I saw this pop up in my feed, I saw your CK2 series and was hoping you would do tutorial CK2 so bad. You helped me tremendously with The Guild 2. Thanks man.
I started a game based on who you recommended, everything went well almost conquered Ireland, I lost due to my wife commiting adultery and had to be divorced, a plot somehow killed me and my heir died due to someone in england attacking me when I was unable to muster any form of military
I stopped playing a while ago because I just couldn’t understand what was going on half the time but I started playing again last night and had a blast.
You sir, are a godsend. Not only for that bit at the begining when you went right to the point, but for doing this video. I just started the game and I crashed against it's tutorial, not as bad as others on the comment box, as I did understand a lot of how it works, but if I keep doing click here and there to read all the details I wouldn't start actually playing for more than an hour, but this helped me a lot to start sooner.
OH SHIT, IT'S MAH-DRY-BREAD! Seriously, I got in this video 100% without knowing it was you. This dude is a jack-of-all-trades, master of all! Not only he made me get into Hitman and Pokémon but now he's going to help me get into CK?!
Thank you for this. As I get older it's harder and harder for me to get into games as I seem to just lose the drive to learn them. I need to work on being more patient. You saved me a lot of time and helped me to be able to start and enjoy a game, that otherwise, I probably wouldn't have. Thanks for your time and effort in posting this video. It is truly appreciated. Have a great week.
Of Paradox’s games, I’ve only played CK1, CK2, EU III and HOI III, but I’ve found CK2 to be the easiest and most playable of the bunch. I don’t know why specifically, but I suspect that it is because CK2 actually has very little micromanaging to do. Control your vassals, get good traits for your heirs, and make marriages that give you good alliances and claims and that’s about all you have to do besides the occasional war.
I've been playing this for about a week thanks to you, it's pretty fun. My only problem is with the claims... The only way I get them besides Holy War/Crusade is Fabricating! I've heard you can get them through marriage, but I don't really understand how.. Could you make a guide on this? Thanks for all the good content. :)
I've had this game since like 2013, and I have never noticed you can tell how much you're being paid in taxes by your vassals in that tab. Wtf is wrong with me lmao
Thanks so much for a comprehensive tutorial! Also thanks for cutting your screen to the only part that matters, this way everything's bigger and more aparent
I just wanna play this game as an "out of comfort zone" challenge. Installed it and after saying "WOW" because of the soundtrack and graphics, got stuck and didn't know what to do else than zooming and scrolling :-) Gonna watch your video and give this game a try!
Me first play: AAHHHH!!! i'm so bad at this! Me in second play: okay, okay, good ,good... AAAHHH!! Cancer, Depressed, Greedy, and Gluttonnous?!? Me in third play: *Turns into Petyr Baelish* Chaos is a ladder
thanks for this video, i have never played a paradox game before so when i started CK2 today, thre tutorial just had me even more confused xD Its nice to have a voice telling me whats what!
You probably know them by now but in case you don't I'll explain them the best I can. Charlemagne: allows you start the game in 769 and adds features such as being able to make your own custom kingdom and empire. Old Gods: focuses on the Vikings and includes pagan religions and let's you start at a date in the 800s Sunset invasion: Aztecs will invade the Old World Reaper's Due: adds new diseases, the Black Death and a court physician Way of Life: focuses on different aspects of rulership for greater character customisation Raj of India: adds new religions and Indian nations as playable factions Jaded Dragon: adds new religions and Chinese nations as playable factions Horse Lords: not too sure about this one, think it focuses on the Mongols Conclave: greater depth added to the council system, not recommended for people new to the game as it takes some skill to grasp this dlc Sons of Abraham: can't remember much for this one but I know it adds Judaism as a playable religion Sword of Islam: let's you play as Muslim factions and focuses mostly on these factions Holy Fury: greater depth added to Christian nations and adds events like coronations etc Monks and Mystics: adds the ability to join different societies and cults etc Legacy of Rome: focuses on the Byzantine Empire, and gives you the option to restore the Roman Empire. Also adds retinues to the game. I think that's all the major dlcs, probably have forgotten one or two. The rest is just new music, new looks for units, portraits and other stuff that slightly changes the look of the game.
There was defo some useful info in this, the one thing I really was looking for though is some clue how to make *good* decisions. Like in chess, I could make a tutorial about how all the pieces move, but that's not teaching anybody how to be better at the game, just how it works. You explained how to get married, for example, but not what your best choices are and why, strategically. The little info you do mention is mostly in the god awful in-game tutorial. I feel like that's what new players struggle with, they can figure out how all the buttons work but they don't have a clue how to evaluate a good idea from a mediocre one, and that's what I was looking for here. Still like I say, thanks for the help that is here
So the county's are in the barony under a baron who's a duke over a dutchy that controls the castle towns and churches in the county as a baron mayer and bishop who are all the rank of baron...
in a gist: 1: find a title you want (MUST BE LOWER RANK THEN YOUR PRIMARY TITLE) 2: open the title menu 3: click the claiments button to view claiments. 4:fing a claiment that is willing to join your court 5: make the claiment a vassal by giving the claiment a county or barony(you might need to revoke one of these from a different vassal to give to the claiment) 6: declare war to press the claiments claim. if you suceed, the claiment will get the title in question, and since he is your vassal he will become part of your realm.
Mah-Dry: “I don’t really like Raid: Shadow Legends, so I won’t take a sponsorship or paid promotion from them.” Me: “I like the honesty and morals. What a good guy.” TH-cam: “Did you say have 95% of all ads on any MDB video you watch be Raid?” Me: “No.” TH-cam: “It will be done.”
Ad's on channels are done through google adsense, so they're based on the what google thinks the viewer wants, rather than the channel itself So basically, you watch gaming stuff and google adsense is absolutely convinced you're into Raid, of all things
@@LJ_The_Character_Creator I bet TH-cam has tagged my channel as an RPG/Strategy channel due to all the Pokemon and Paradox games, so it figures Raid is most appropriate to people who watch gaming and come here
Just found this game and thought it would be fun to play. I am from Munster in Ireland and where I planned on starting. Good to know its a good start in point
thanks for doing this. part of the problem with tuts and forum advice is the game has changed so much a lot of the old info isn't as useful and the UI looks different.
I'm trying to get a full play of this game done. I have kept starting over as I either learn something new, get a new DLC purchased, or have something happen to screw me over (like having a huge army of 2500 backing up a claimant assault my PRIMARY county).

I started a game based on who you recommended, everything went well almost conquered Ireland, I lost due to my wife commiting adultery and had to be divorced, a plot somehow killed me and my heir died due to someone in england attacking me when I was unable to muster any form of military
Did you at least punish her?
I stopped playing a while ago because I just couldn’t understand what was going on half the time but I started playing again last night and had a blast.
I'm happy to hear you had a good time!
You sir, are a godsend. Not only for that bit at the begining when you went right to the point, but for doing this video. I just started the game and I crashed against it's tutorial, not as bad as others on the comment box, as I did understand a lot of how it works, but if I keep doing click here and there to read all the details I wouldn't start actually playing for more than an hour, but this helped me a lot to start sooner.
OH SHIT, IT'S MAH-DRY-BREAD! Seriously, I got in this video 100% without knowing it was you.
This dude is a jack-of-all-trades, master of all! Not only he made me get into Hitman and Pokémon but now he's going to help me get into CK?!
Thank you for this. As I get older it's harder and harder for me to get into games as I seem to just lose the drive to learn them. I need to work on being more patient. You saved me a lot of time and helped me to be able to start and enjoy a game, that otherwise, I probably wouldn't have. Thanks for your time and effort in posting this video. It is truly appreciated. Have a great week.
Excellent primer. Quick, sharp, concise and just enough important info to get started.
Really helpful. Thanks bud.
That was the best introduction I have ever seen
Of Paradox’s games, I’ve only played CK1, CK2, EU III and HOI III, but I’ve found CK2 to be the easiest and most playable of the bunch. I don’t know why specifically, but I suspect that it is because CK2 actually has very little micromanaging to do. Control your vassals, get good traits for your heirs, and make marriages that give you good alliances and claims and that’s about all you have to do besides the occasional war.
I've been playing this for about a week thanks to you, it's pretty fun. My only problem is with the claims... The only way I get them besides Holy War/Crusade is Fabricating! I've heard you can get them through marriage, but I don't really understand how.. Could you make a guide on this?
Thanks for all the good content. :)
I think I'm going to have to make a whole guide video on it some time since the claim system is a bit complicated. I'm happy to help!
I just love the beginning. I wish all youtubers would make it so quick!
I've had this game since like 2013, and I have never noticed you can tell how much you're being paid in taxes by your vassals in that tab. Wtf is wrong with me lmao
0:02 I wish every video was like this
I loved where this was heading after the first 8 seconds!
Thanks so much for a comprehensive tutorial! Also thanks for cutting your screen to the only part that matters, this way everything's bigger and more aparent
Happy to help!
Thank you for explaining the basics and some fundamental's of the game, this made it A LOT easier to grasp....at least the concept of starting out! :)
I just wanna play this game as an "out of comfort zone" challenge. Installed it and after saying "WOW" because of the soundtrack and graphics, got stuck and didn't know what to do else than zooming and scrolling :-) Gonna watch your video and give this game a try!
Why is this game so terrifyingly complex. I feel like I should've been taking notes but it looks so fun!
This video is the only reason I was able to get into CK, thank you for making this tutorial
This is the greatest tutorial of anything ive ever seen in my life. direct and to the point. good stuff
Me first play: AAHHHH!!! i'm so bad at this!
Me in second play: okay, okay, good ,good... AAAHHH!! Cancer, Depressed, Greedy, and Gluttonnous?!?
Me in third play: *Turns into Petyr Baelish* Chaos is a ladder
Dude as a Ck3 guy, I booted up this game for free on steam and I was lost. Thanks for the tutorial.
I love the intro, which more youtubers would utilise it
This is by far the best video guide of a game I have ever seen, thank you for this!
thanks for this video, i have never played a paradox game before so when i started CK2 today, thre tutorial just had me even more confused xD
Its nice to have a voice telling me whats what!
I decided to quit because I couldn't figure things out. After watching this, I'm jumping straight into hell again. Wish me luck.
My man, a 5 second intro? Amazing work! Great video.
Thanks for being the friend that gives you the basic game chat. Like your style, (First video seen) particularly the succinct intro!
I just want you to know this video will genuinely be helping people to the end of time😂
The other day a CK2 bundle came out on humble bundle that has all the major dlc
could you make a tutorial briefly explaining them?
You probably know them by now but in case you don't I'll explain them the best I can.
Charlemagne: allows you start the game in 769 and adds features such as being able to make your own custom kingdom and empire.
Old Gods: focuses on the Vikings and includes pagan religions and let's you start at a date in the 800s
Sunset invasion: Aztecs will invade the Old World
Reaper's Due: adds new diseases, the Black Death and a court physician
Way of Life: focuses on different aspects of rulership for greater character customisation
Raj of India: adds new religions and Indian nations as playable factions
Jaded Dragon: adds new religions and Chinese nations as playable factions
Horse Lords: not too sure about this one, think it focuses on the Mongols
Conclave: greater depth added to the council system, not recommended for people new to the game as it takes some skill to grasp this dlc
Sons of Abraham: can't remember much for this one but I know it adds Judaism as a playable religion
Sword of Islam: let's you play as Muslim factions and focuses mostly on these factions
Holy Fury: greater depth added to Christian nations and adds events like coronations etc
Monks and Mystics: adds the ability to join different societies and cults etc
Legacy of Rome: focuses on the Byzantine Empire, and gives you the option to restore the Roman Empire. Also adds retinues to the game.
I think that's all the major dlcs, probably have forgotten one or two. The rest is just new music, new looks for units, portraits and other stuff that slightly changes the look of the game.
This is utterly amazing! Thank you! This game is pretty irritating/overwhelming to start. You made it very manageable.
When I first played HoI4 I thought that was hard lmao. This is a whole other level...
Jason Huang bro i thought hoi4 was legit to hard for me to play at one point, I keep playing as Switzerland to get better and be neutral
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JUST (as Philip De Franco says) JUMPING RIGHT INTO IT
There was defo some useful info in this, the one thing I really was looking for though is some clue how to make *good* decisions. Like in chess, I could make a tutorial about how all the pieces move, but that's not teaching anybody how to be better at the game, just how it works. You explained how to get married, for example, but not what your best choices are and why, strategically. The little info you do mention is mostly in the god awful in-game tutorial. I feel like that's what new players struggle with, they can figure out how all the buttons work but they don't have a clue how to evaluate a good idea from a mediocre one, and that's what I was looking for here. Still like I say, thanks for the help that is here
This is all very interesting but it only explains what can be learned by reading things on screen. How do you actually do anything?
@Some Dude When experimenting hasn't worked out we watch videos which say they are tutorials, which this isn't..duh
I don't have much time to sit down and work out how games work, this one felt more like a unpaid job
Ck2: Click here for learning scenario!
Me: Oh cool, I got a tutorial. *Clicks learning scenario*
Ck2: *Tutorial has left the game*
Thank you for this wonderful video. I am a first time player and this explained much more in depth than the tutorial.
There's so many buttons. I was getting overwhelmed by them. Thanks for the tutorial!
The memes got me into the game but after 2 hours I was clueless. This video is a huge help!
Crusader Kings II is probably the best Strategy-RPG hybrid game ever.
"you already read the title so let's not waste any time" Because you said that you have a new sub and a big thumbs up on the vid
So the county's are in the barony under a baron who's a duke over a dutchy that controls the castle towns and churches in the county as a baron mayer and bishop who are all the rank of baron...
A baron is under a count. A count is under a duke. A duke is under a king. A king is under an emperor.
in a gist:
1: find a title you want (MUST BE LOWER RANK THEN YOUR PRIMARY TITLE)
2: open the title menu
3: click the claiments button to view claiments.
4:fing a claiment that is willing to join your court
5: make the claiment a vassal by giving the claiment a county or barony(you might need to revoke one of these from a different vassal to give to the claiment)
6: declare war to press the claiments claim. if you suceed, the claiment will get the title in question, and since he is your vassal he will become part of your realm.
I was the head engineering designer of this game, yet still need to watch beginner tutorials.
Here cos it’s free!
Already got eu4 and hoi4 and am excited for ck3!
3:33 I think you mean "a duke runs a duchy"
This is the best breakdown ever! My only question is should I get CK3?
Yeah! CK3 is real good
thanks for this timeless tutorial. been watching since the guild 2.
Thanks so much! The learning scenario was very overwhelming so this helps a lot!
I like how it basically becomes an alternate history game when you start at the earliest.
Appreciate the video. Just got into the game and your advice has been invaluable. Holy smokes what a deep, complex game this is.
I'm used to playing Civilization - this game so far is unfathomable.
Mah-Dry: “I don’t really like Raid: Shadow Legends, so I won’t take a sponsorship or paid promotion from them.”
Me: “I like the honesty and morals. What a good guy.”
TH-cam: “Did you say have 95% of all ads on any MDB video you watch be Raid?”
Me: “No.”
TH-cam: “It will be done.”
Ad's on channels are done through google adsense, so they're based on the what google thinks the viewer wants, rather than the channel itself
So basically, you watch gaming stuff and google adsense is absolutely convinced you're into Raid, of all things
@@MahDryBread
Which I find hilarious, since it only plays the raid ads on your stuff. I get Dislyte and that lord of the rings game everywhere else
@@LJ_The_Character_Creator I bet TH-cam has tagged my channel as an RPG/Strategy channel due to all the Pokemon and Paradox games, so it figures Raid is most appropriate to people who watch gaming and come here
@@MahDryBread algorithms are wild things.
Just found this game and thought it would be fun to play. I am from Munster in Ireland and where I planned on starting. Good to know its a good start in point
Every tutorial video should be like this. Thanks for your hard work!
thanks for doing this. part of the problem with tuts and forum advice is the game has changed so much a lot of the old info isn't as useful and the UI looks different.
You can create your own society without any expansions
"you've already read the title so let's not waste any time" fuckin' subbed.
This is the best guide with a lot of great information. Thank you!
I'm trying to get a full play of this game done. I have kept starting over as I either learn something new, get a new DLC purchased, or have something happen to screw me over (like having a huge army of 2500 backing up a claimant assault my PRIMARY county).
Siblings! Marry your siblings off for beneficial alliances.
can you also do tuts of stellaris, eu, and vicky? this is super easy to understand and i hope you can teach how to play those other games
Terryman and Stellaris
I should’ve just watched this before winging it, hoo boy once I leaned how to take land it was actually easy.
thank you for not wasting my time, I appreciate it
Best intro ever. You are the best.
I have like 1600 hours in the game and I've never used the crowns to tell the rank. I've always just looked at the border of the portrait.
Same lol
What ? I've never noticed the border 😂😂
Thank you so much for explaining everything important to start my own game ❤
"Hi you saw the name? Lets' go!"
Always like vids like this
Unlike a lot of countries such as England, France, Germany etc., you can use only prestige to construct many buildings such as in Scotland.
Honestly you sent me back a couple seconds there when you said "you already read the title so lets not waste any time"
