Thank you! Pressing claims snowballs really quickly once your realm gets huge and a lot of times the claimants will have multiple claims. Works even better when you're an empire you can press people's kingdom claims. The Royal Court DLC makes inviting super easy and there are some other methods I didn't list here, since this is a beginner video, more techniques are on my list of to-do :)
I know I said it on the other video, but your guides are really the best. Playing along now with your video's made the game much more enjoyable as I actually know what I'm doing haha. I've watched other video's as well, even before I bought the game, but the way you go into depth and the clarity of your information is really on a different level of quality!
Thank you for the kind words :) I'm glad the walk through tutorials are helpful. I was worried it was so long it might be a turn off. Unfortunately, CK3 really is a game that takes a long time to learn and I tried to condense it as much as I can. Thank you again for the encouraging words
@@breadgodgaming I struggled a lot on my first few playthroughs, but now I've just managed to create the empire of Brittany as well and had a lot more fun knowing how to accomplish these goals without struggling with succession, no heirs or having everyone hate me and try to kill my characters lol!
It would be neat if you could do a similar run with all DLCs enabled to see which additional tricks are available. Great video though. Thank you for making it
Thank you for your kind words! Does it make more sense to make one big video with DLC or multiple videos covering each DLC's benefits? Thank you for your feedback :)
@@breadgodgaming I feel like one 1-2 hours video in which you explain concepts during a playthrough and what is possible due to having all DLCs would be great. Although I am probably biased because I do own all the important DLCs. Maybe as a compromise you could make some sort of tierlist video about DLCs, where you explain which ones are worth buying, have mechanics that are important or have fun/interesting content for the people that don't have all DLCs or are deciding which ones to buy. I know videos like that are popular for Paradox games youtubers, although the last such one was uploaded 2 months ago by Gone Crusading.
This might sound stupid but can I hire you to teach me how to play better- I want to do the same type of thing but conquer from Scotland but struggle with the finer details of the game
Thanks for your support! I don't think it's a stupid question at all. I'm afraid my life schedule is too busy at the moment to really fit in live tutoring, but I could do a playthrough with your desired start / DLC access? You could even email me your save file if you're struggling at some specific part and I can comment on that too.
@@breadgodgaming all good im finally getting the hang of it these days. just playing some viking starts and learning about reforming culture and religions is helping me understand how to expand better
@@breadgodgaming it's something close to "Al-uh-bah" I think. scottish gaelic spelling is different to english spelling while using the same latin alphabet (similar difference with welsh spelling)
Don't be discouraged, like many other grand strategy games the developers purposefully put a lot of depth into the game. So, trying to become good at it will take many hours of effortful learning! My first hours were embarrassing, I had no idea how to form a kingdom and I was down so bad I didn't touch the game for months! It was not only until I started watching a lot of guides and reading the official CK3 wiki that I started to learn and get better. It takes time but I believe in you :)
That's how most Paradox games are. There's so much to take in. At some point it'll click don't worry. I would recommend playing within the same empire title for your first few games even if they're just short ones to get used to things. This way you minimize variables while you learn the game itself.
These are by *far* the best tutorials for this game that exist
Thank you for your kind words!!
10/10 series! Learned a lot! I can finally play the game after hours of research lol
Thank you for your kind words!
Great video, Ive got over 1.6k hrs in ck3 but I never thought to marry for claims also never knew if they are lower tier they become your Vassel.

Great guide by The Tuatha Dé Danann!
Thank you for the support!
I always learn so much from your vids, man! Hope there's a lot more coming!
Also, saw your Dinkum vids, and now I want to play that too!

Ayrshire and Fife are pronounced more like "Air-shur" and "Fiyf". Alba has a non-obvious pronounciation too
Thank you! haha I knew feefee was probably not correct. How does one pronounce Alba?
@@breadgodgaming it's something close to "Al-uh-bah" I think. scottish gaelic spelling is different to english spelling while using the same latin alphabet (similar difference with welsh spelling)
Thanks! When I next encounter those titles I'll try to remember their pronunciation!
😢 why is this game so hard to play and understand,?
