- Are you struggling when you play as the VIKINGS in Crusader Kings 3? Then you should watch this ULTIMATE Beginner Guide that will teach you everything you need to know about playing as the Viking Norse in CK3!
Do you watch Crusader Kings 3 videos, where people conquer massive realms, easily deal with revolts, and gain massive amounts of gold and prestige as Vikings? But when you try it yourself, you get your army destroyed, your titles claimed and get taken out "under mysterious circumstances" by your vassals?
Then THIS is the guide for you! Because today, Koifish, self proclaimed MASTER of playing as the Vikings and the Norse in Crusader Kings 3, will teach you everything you need to know to have the ULTIMATE VIKING START in CK3!
We will be playing as Björn Ironside, the Jarl of Uppland, and from there we will form not just the Kingdom of Sweden, but the entire EMPIRE of SCANDINAVIA!
In this tutorial, I will go over development, men at arms and their men at arms counters, how to manage vassals in CK3, how to deal with succession, how to raid, how to get alliances, how to get more land and titles, how to win wars in CK3, and much, much more, in this complete guide to Crusader Kings 3 Norsemen!

I've had so many comments telling me that whenever they play the game, they are unable to do all the fun and amazing Viking Adventures that they see in my CK3 videos! So that's why I decided to make this COMPLETE GUIDE to Vikings in Crusader Kings 3, and how to set up a great start for your next Viking Playthrough!
*Would you like to see more guides?* Tell me down below in the comments! And make sure to subscribe for more CK3 content!
you gotta do version with heasting-sama
i feel like this video might pull new players into the paradox ecosystem of you, laith, ludi, bavarian, zieley etc. , saff and quarbit, may their souls be cursed, may they look at the map till rest of life. poor people they didn't know what they bought
You’ve already been slowing down your pacing for us to understand with your Haraldr saga.
100% more guides. One of the best and most entertaining CK3 content creators needs to share his secrets to his adventures.
How to Viking:
1. Max out your men-at-arms
2. Varangian Adventure to the Steppe
3. Become the Greatest of Khans
plus, combine norse culture with oghuz. now you have horse archers along with varangians.
i really hope koifish does that with haesteinn someday
Thank you professor Koifish for this highly educational lecture on Vikingology.
Phd in Vikingology!

Hello swedie : )
@@qhu3878huh is that the name of what it’s called the study of Vikings I mean it’s cool and I would definitely study that if I ever plan on going to college maybe I’ll become a linguist and learn old norse write a book maybe so if I become famous you’ll have a little story
Requirements for forming the North Sea Empire
- Critical Stress Levels
- Depression
*it's a great way of making paradox games tutorials, just playing and explaining everything*
ive made many empires and challenge runs yet i still watch this because you are super fun
*_remember, pain is an essential part of the game_*
TRUTH! Losing is FUN!
@@Koifish big heasting daddy answered, my favourite part is when AI ally fucks something up and you hit the table during altf4 so hard your soul itself hurts
this nev avatar is wayyy to cute for ck3 war crimes we all commit @@Koifish
Just what I needed before getting ready to play some Crusader Kings 3 as a Viking!
I have GREAT timing! Let me know how the game went!
i learned all of weird ck3 cheeky shit just by watching youtube, i recommend you check out all the people koifish collabs with
@@Koifishthis game is hot dogshit
I appreciate this lession Koifish. I would love to see how you do the African Campain in the same way. Let me explain this more. I helt nearly all of Africa together for generations and it all went to hell when I was close to the end. I just can't seem to accomplish this feat. I would love to see your strategies to completing this task.
@Koifish I'm suprised you overlooked the fact that Bjorn starts with the viking trait in your playthrough,this trait isn't only beneficial for the norse character but an essential trait to possibly the easiest and the most broken decision you can take as any norse ruler in ck3 which "Elevate the Kingdom of Mann&Isles" by using the son's of lothbrok on british isles that is happening immediately on the start of 867 AD you can use the chaos and betray Bjorn's Brother Ivar and take the land of mon from his vassal ketil,then after you can focus on gaining prestige from hunt,feasts and raids you can quickly raise to the rank of the Living Legend,then use the claim duchy casus beli on the duchy of monn from jarl ivar the boneless once again,and the decision of elevation of kingdom of mann&isles is unlocked,by appling this decision on your realm and buying the Thoughtful and True rules perk from the dynasty lifestyle you have the kingdom of sweden,kingdom of mann and the isles,feudal government with abilty to raid over seas,7500k of soldiers in total in the matter of 20-30 years,combine with hybridization of the anglo-saxon and norse or sapmi and norse cultures together and you can choose if you wish to be the future high king of the northern seas,the emperor of scandinavia or go with a wild card and take both.
Classic vid and totally hilarious as well as being packed with great info
The only man I will accept teaching me about the Vikings
I honestly dont know if a ''English speaking-Swedish-viking fish'' teaching me about how to be a viking is absolutely AWESOME or utterly TERRIFYING
Fish teach humans how to build a empire
Atlantis LORE
he ain't fish he KOIFish
You can raise an unraised army while being at war if you click on one of your county and raise your army there, then select raiding army at the bottom left
even if you don't have dlc i recommend you still watch this to get a base understanding of the game. koifish does so much for the community. 👍
I''d love to see a tutorial about starting as an Empire (ala the Byzantine or the Abbasid). Seems like a LOT to manage at once and running an Empire can involve a lot of moving parts.
cataphract spam
I never knew you could choose your wards education. Thank you so much
*ungkalv* !
I legit bought CK3 after your Bjorn Diplomacy only video. Shit was so much fun omg
This was good
I watch ck3 all the time but only played 3 times .thanks for teaching us how to play better much appreciated 🙂💯
Beginner guide to Vikings..
Step 1: Play HAESTEINN..
Step 2: Play other Vikings..
Step 3: Win..
This video was awesome Koi! I'd love for you to continue doing a series like this with other concepts and mechanics. Then you can remain the #1 Viking on TH-cam.
... KISS MY AXE!!!
Me a frequent Viking player:
“How interesting” 🤔
Thank you for this guide. Max Respect!
I loved the part where you gave Haraldr Norway. He deserves it. (To me Haraldr is what Haesteinn is to you)
Once again Koifish shows us how to do it. Thanks a lot for that comprehensive guide :)
This game is absolutely terrible and built only for sweat lords who can spend 23 hours a day learning how to play this dogshit game
Superkul & givande video! Tack. 😊
Great video, Vikings were always strong however northern lords dlc gave them so many more buffs, they are really fun to play
Thank u so much for ur time effort and patience making this tutorial. I love your videos there always excellent
Hi Koi, I appreciate the long-form guide on how to quickly play wide as Vikings. What I'd like to see as an idea, is how you would transition this playthrough from Wide to Tall, or to at least begin development to build taller after taking your first empire title, with the goal of either world conquest, or some other big goal (Reforming Rome, conquering all of Russia, etc)
I know the standard play is to either shift to Lollardy or to reform Asatru to be more *like* Lollardy, and then start focusing Learning/Stewardship, but I'd like to see your take on how you'd do something like this specifically with those kinds of bigger goals in mind.
You can’t really play tall in ck3 because there is no cons from size just focus on economy
Like doing this with Harald Hårfagre (Fair hair or Tanglehair as he starts out). I like to work my way up from 17 year old chief with only 3 counties to become the Fylkir of the Scandinavian High Kingdom rather than begin as a Jarl.
I hate how in this game they got rid of personal goals. In 2 he had a special one for unlimited subjugation conquests until you formed Norway. Now you have to either go against the grain with diplomacy or steal the land from everyone and give it to others.
Best video ive ever seen, or im tired, but your voice is intens and fun dialect! Love it! hahahaha Husskauuurrllsss
Thank you for this 🙏
koifish is a good boy
I randomly started again, but on ps5. I started as hordafylke, my home area irl. I did in 15 years establish kingdom of norway and in the first lfetime i had a standing army of 8000. My sons quarelled after my death and te kingdom split into many lords and vassals, stilll a kingdom. Down from 11 domains the player heir started with 2 and grew powerful enough to overthrow te evil brother. But sweden became too strong and dismantled norway
Amazing video as always, Koifish!
A good start I can recomend is a custom Asatrú Norse character on the Island of Crete in 867, as soon as the game starts you swear fealty to the Byzantine Emperor in return for religious exemption and then you can raid the Mediterranean to your hearts contempt. This is extra good because you won't have raiding competition in the Med and Italy is a rich land ripe for plunder.
Is that historically accurate though
Well no the island is held by a Muwalladi Andalusian but I just play it off as the Emperor giving the island to the Varangians in return for them taking it back in his name.
I always like to get the perk know thyself and disinherit the sons i dont want, but at the last moment, so that a murder inclined someone won't try to get theirs another way and the modifier doesn't mess with me while my character is still young and doing stuff. primogeniture, but with a prestige and renown cost
GIllar dina videos! =) Kör nästan enbart Viking karaktärer så dina videors passar mig perfekt!
Jag har bara bas spelet utan DLC's så undrar vilka DLC's du skulle rekommendera att köpa för att pimpa mitt Vikingande?
I think it’s called Northman but I don’t know what you’re on so you can play this I would recommend getting chapter 2 or one with all the DLC for like US$30
Every time I play Norse, I get crusaded against really early, it can be scary for new players but at Emperor tier when you max out your retinues and buff them with fully upgraded war camps, you will wipe the floor with the Crusaders (not to mention the god awful crusader ai). The next step is too invade Italy and dismantle the Papacy even Kingdom holy war is winnable (if you are reformed) since most the catholic realms will be greatly weakened after a failed Crusade.
you surprisingly make good guide video! damn
great work sir haesteinn lover
"Even if you breach the walls, it will take a number beyond reckoning, thousands, to storm Constantinople."
"Tens of thousands."
"But my lord there is no such force."
*Viking army intensifies*
In CK2 giantism would accelerate causing early death. I don't know why they got rid of that, its how it works irl.
This was super helpful!
Love that "Barely any prestige" and "Loads of prestige" is a difference of 800
Another glorious video from professor Koifish 🐟
I know how to play but it’s a 1 hour koi fish video.
same
Tiny jarldom is a bit of an understatement ahahha
RIP. Heisstein died too soon koifish probobly wanted to play another 100 times but as i would say in swedish GUD HAN VAR JU SÅ BRA.
Thanks for this! I’m new to the game, coming from eu4. Viking gameplay sounds way more fun than a Ireland playthrough. Is there a way to integrate vassal lands? Or is managing vassals something you just have to do
@41:30 you say 1500 varangian veterans, but I believe it was 1000 and 500 Huscarls. Unless I missed you dismissing them in favor of VV (which I definitely would do personally).
Anyway very good video, even taught me a thing or two about vassalage... I tend to conquer all my land.
Thank you great lord koi fish for sharing your great knowledge. Also can u please play a new playthrough as your favorite viking man and play it like role play ish? Thank you so much for the video ❤😂
And here I thought every Koifish video was a how to viking tutorial :D
Best wishes
im aware of how this sounds... thats how all my conversations about ck3 goes
Do you need to have the dlc Northern Lords to be able to do all this? Sorry I am pretty new to the game and I was just wondering. Love the videos Koi
Legend has it the Sami are still eating Reindeer meat and are happy.
I thought it would be "Play Haestein or Uninstall the Game" - Koifish Style =D
Would love to see how you would create your custom char. as a viking in 867 ofc.
The Vikings are the most op cultures to play with. Just go full martial with their overpowered units and then raid and conquer. You get more prestige the more you conquer and fight and you get more units. Rinse and repeat until you are the most powerful kingdom/empire.
Dang this was a good video( I have and probably never will play this game in my life)
Koifish, I know how hard it was for you to do a Viking walkthrough and not pick Haestinn. One day, you may break your addiction!
*EDIT* Disregard. Should my experience be encountered by anyone else, my issue was relative troop strength. As soon as that caught up the vassal dominoes started falling! 😆
You have great videoes and lots of great advice, but this doesn’t work.
I paid off both guys near me that had vassal offer as an option and nothing. They are both +100 relation and the vassal offer acceptances are -1 and -20. I’m pretty sure there are some randomized stats or traits that make this the case but that also means recreating this as a tutorial walkthrough is broken.
Still, love the channel and your videos are as informative on mechanics as they are hilarious and entertaining. 😄
Beginner's guide to vikings? I personally dont find vikings hard to play, if anything theyre the easiest... I played as Sigurdr Snake-in-the-Eye and conquered Sweden and Norway, took the entire Britain, Ireland, Netherlands, formed a custom empire of "Northland" and reformed the religion to include me being the Pope...
Lets just say vikings are OP
Jylland is a pretty good start for norway.
Since you mentioned Highlander, how about a Highlander challenge. make a few characters immortal all over the world and try to kill them in duels. Could that be a good video?
Can we get an ULTIMATE beginner guide to making the best chads? Talk about genetics, family, renown, child care and how to get the best results for succesion.
I was just at the very end of Act1 in BG3 and now I'm the King of Sweden.....damit..
Thx Koifish
Koifish did you by any chance voice acted Bragi from AC Valhalla?
Koifish, I request an audience! In Haesteinns name I need the origin of the background music at 44:00. It haunts my dreams not knowing where I've heard it before 😇
Oooooi @Koifish!
What about you try to become "Count Dracula" of Transylvania? :D Jiiiiiiiiiiiiit my dude!
Lol my history teacher thinks I study a lot but in actuality I just play games about it lol.
How do I make my son heir ?! Game sets my daughter as heir but she’s queen of Holmgoror. Would that make me a vassal of her King ?
"Surprise! It's the vikings."
😂
how to prevent dynasty from growing members too fast?
Wholesome teaching the newbies how to rule the world with the Swedes and might ironborn Af Munso dynasty
Bra video
can you do the same video format for christians?
as me old papi used to say; less talking more raiding!
Now your loyal crablings are able to join you in the raid.
Might buy CK3
Don’t waste your money. Paradox makes the sweatiest most overly complicated dogshit games possible
I still watched this video with 500 hours in ck3
Do you know what happened to arcade knight
There is a simpler guide to playing a viking in CK3: Step 1: open vikings expansion on ck3. Step 2: choose jarl haestinn. Step 3: ??? Step 4: profit!
Instructions unclear created the Roman Empire with Haesteinn
"This is the best way to play Vikings in CK3"
My brother's Icelandi-lookin ass, sitting as old angry vassal of mine for entire game and stealing my wives for ransom: "Are you sure about that"
It is yarl not jarl the j makes a Y sound
0:20 lmao
One good tip for Crusader Kings 3: If you got a problem, throw gold at it. 😄
Really tho. I have no idea why I am watching this as a long term Koifish watcher as well as self described veteran CK3 player.
*But* it is a ck3 video made by Koifish so do I have any choice but to watch it and enjoy it? No. Obviously not.
Just another excuse to feed the Viking addiction
23:28 This is one of the timelines where Haesteinn does nothing important.. still waiting for the timelime where he create the Old Roman Empire
Do i Christians one please
A one hour tutorial from Koifish Senpai. Boioioioioioiouououiinng 🍆
It's weird for me because Vikings for me are the easiest starting characters
I was following along this guide step by step and when it came time to get a load of vassals my brother invaded me all the way from where Scotland is. He wanted my capital. It looked grim as he was way more powerful but I came out on top because my grandson started chopping dudes heads off in battle. The invaders lost most of their best champions and supplies. And I came out on top. Got kind of derailed there.
I always immediately raid Wessex and usually abduct the queen for a prestigious concubine
Hello sir u have lovely accent where are u from 😊
