Tip 13 is also genius for any factions that rise up I had a recent poland run where my character (with 7 sons, 4 ended up being priests - so really just 3) had just died , so my heir did not have much control over the domain. I had a large faction - 37k troops/9 vassals against my 3.5k levies + 2k MaA . I imprisoned the faction leader RIGHT as the war started , and ended the war - resulting in the imprisonment of each vassal that partook in the faction. I was able to strip the land from them, and give it away to new/friendly vassals. I lived to the age of 82.

You're sending gifts? GIFTS!? Are you made of money!? Great tips, Imperor approved! A few notes: As for the Demand payment for Hooks: Watch out as a clan, it decreases Harmony pretty significantly. Having alliances in place does dissuade both internal and external enemies from trying stuff, so might want to consider having them up even when you don't need them at that moment.

I rarely play as clan so that's a very good call out.

The Aniconism tenet actually also allows you to sell blue and purple artefacts as well; as far as I know it's the only way you can sell said artefacts, and can net you a lot of money in an emergency.

I already liked your channel, but The Warriors reference made me love it. Few thoughts/additions: tips 1 & 20 don't work on console, you can't minimise the window to access your spouse and switch their focus; tip 3, more trouble than it's worth, takes too long to build up any significant money because the vast majorityof people your spymaster gets hooks on simply don't *have* any money to give you, it's better to just focus on upping your passive income in other ways; tip 7, easier said than done, if you're not tribal you'll have to fabricate a claim on the Mongols' first county, by the time you've done that they'll have conquered more lands and probably moved their capital anyway; the kidnap win wars thing only really works early game, by mid game kingdoms and empires have such high scheme resistance it simply doesn't work often enough to make it a reliable strategy; and finally tip 25: best tip ever, role playing instead of min maxing is so much more rewarding. Great video, liked and shared!

Once you get to King status, you can set your Duchy domains to elective succession. So long as you have majority voting power, you can pass on all titles to your heir without the need for primogeniture.

I hardly ever do the "search for court physician" decision anymore, at least not at the start, because the candidates are often somewhere between mediocre and inept unless you have very high learning and get the third recommendation of a physician who is reknowned in scholarly circles. Half of the time, the proposed candidates don't even have the learning education focus. Instead I search a wife for one of my knights and sort for high learning. That way I can pick one with good stats who isn't too old and has a personality type that is unlikely to be an agent.

For a new fresh experience of CK3 and to make it harder without any mechanics change use the: ObfusKate mod. It essentially removes the omnipotent ability of knowing every humans trait name profession and life story. Best small mod I've tried to make the game feel even more immersive.

Tip 26 - Always get Pedagogy & Groomed to Rule. Once you've had all your kids and ready to move onto your heir, reset skill points. You can then reenter your skill points - this will cause Groomed to Rule to trigger for a second time. Free Skill Points twice per lifetime for kids. (Don't do this before you have your last kid, otherwise not all your kids will get the full benefit)
