Crusader Kings 2 Tutorial: Learn CK2 in 20 Minutes

[@alpharius4208]

This was infinitely better than the in-game tutorial

[@Tatsufollower]

Kaiser Groog in game tutorial explained nothing

[@MM-vs2et]

everything is better than in-game tutorials

oh god my head hurts from so much information totally gonna play this game :)

@@jacktheripper5112 Is this same Jack from PSN?

[@alfredbillington2141]

the in game tutorial literally just tells you how to control the camera and absolute fuck all else

[@dimitri5345]

"Now you can see the troop numbers going down because people are dying." Just the way he says it is fucking hilarious to me good god.

[@nodus7853]

[@RebelDashOne]

Nice job, best condensed tutorial of CK2 I have watched. Thanks for talking clearly and slowly! I find that to be rare; most others tend to talk very fast while conveying too much disjointed info.

This is the only guide that eases you into ck2 with some definite first actions. You've got a talent for turning a mass of information into tiny steps. I think I can do this!

[@SobotRex]

This tutorial should be in the game. Amazing work!

[@shotsfiredandmissed9068]

paradox should hire him, he has good voice, and paradox can pay him big bucks for it haha

[@BigBlackGlock]

Please make an advanced tutorial, you explain things very well.

[@XxTurk3ybo1xX]

I second that

[@MUSHHEAD]

Yes, you are, hands down, the most articulate of the ck2 tutorial guys (I wouldn't even describe them as articulate). It would be great if you made advanced vids, just sayin.

[@shotsfiredandmissed9068]

this is a quick no BS guide to jumpstart your empire

[@Hexagrams]

Yep, best starter guide I've seen.

[@ttscha]

Good job! Great explanation

[@MizardTheWizard]

I have watched easily over 2 hours of tutorials and I have learned more from 10 min of this video than all those combined. Good bloody Job!

[@Valorian]

I have had CKII sitting in my steam library for almost two years, but every attempt at playing ended in total confusion and failure because of my impatience. Thanks to your video, I can finally enjoy CKII as much as I enjoyed EUIV and HOI4. Thank you!

[@zoranzoki2223i8]

Thank You! I watched hours of tutorials so far and learned nothing, but yours 20 minutes videos helped me a lot!

[@209cgrant]

Dozens of tutorial videos later, I finally find one that ACTUALLY teaches you the basics.

[@Ramiobomb]

*When you're an advanced player and still learn something new* Outstanding job!!!!!!!!!

You don't know how good your tutorial is compared to others.

[@kylephilipe8347]

Thanks for making a tutorial in a reasonable amount of time instead of the shitty hour+ videos

[@phoogoo]

Thank you. This was super helpful. I'm amazed such a complex game doesn't have a better walkthrough.

[@JavierSanchez-mo2ef]

He should do one of these for every DLC :)

[@videogamebomer]

Javier Sánchez it'll take years for him to finish

[@XxTurk3ybo1xX]

definately

[@XxTurk3ybo1xX]

lol

[@justanotheremptychannel2472]

True

[@topy706]

once you understand the basics the DLCs should be easily understandable. the game is pretty easy to grasp

[@thedaystar1415]

A Crusader Kings tutorial that doesn't give me a migraine. Wonderful!

[@adamm3465]

This BY FAR is the best tutorial out there for CK2.

[@dachshund_gaming]

This is the best tutorial for this game I've watched. Clear and concise, and much better than those other dudes who try to explain things to me using colloquial language and too many jokes. The humor in this was real subtle with you pronouncing the names for the different counties

[@swood943]

This is the tutorial I needed. I found myself being overwhelmed with information within the first 10 minutes of every other tutorial. Thank you

[@clamum]

Very good tutorial man, thanks. I like that you did it by just playing the game and explaining the major features. I've seen other videos where they're going down the list of every little button/feature in the game and explaining them; it's really not necessary to a new player and is just too much information and can be confusing. Your approach is much better brah.

[@jacobski9307]

Just to reiterate what everyone else has said so far, this tutorial is excellent. Went from starting the game earlier today with absolutely no clue as to what was going on. Watched this video 30 minutes later, and I've just sat down and played continuously for about 6 hours.

[@eonhet7826]

I played the ingame tutorial and like five other youtube tutorials, and yours was definitely the best at showing how to play the game.

[@TruetoCaesar]

A tutorial thats not trash and filled with ums and ahs. Thank you.

[@chocolaterain5097]

Significantly more helpful than the in game tutorial. Thanks so much!

[@cornballshark4413]

You are the greatness person to live you made a game I've owned for year playable but explaining it to me in a way I can understand thank you

[@popboxhorror5234]

Thank you, it takes hours to watch some folk's tutorials and by the time I am done I am usually burned out and don't want to play anymore. This is nice and quick.

[@richardsofisa1456]

Only discovered this game recently and it has been a struggle to find decent tutorials for beginners. This was a really great introduction to the game, thank you.

[@ryansta]

Probably the best tutorial i've watched in trying to grasp why the game has such a dedicated following. Can't say it's my sort of thing but good to know the basics behind it. Thanks

[@yatriprasad]

Thanks a lot for this quick tutorial. I was struggling with this game but wanted to somehow get into it. You have clearly explained the basics in a manner much better than the game's tutorial. I will try your tips out tonight. Thanks!

[@press_x_tojason]

Great guide. Picked up the game a few days ago, felt lost with an hour in the in-game tutorial, but here you go, getting me on the right track in a third of the time.

[@smegheadz]

Thanks for the vid, it was perfect in helping me start. Clear, concise and just the right amount of information to get me going without boring me with too many specifics.

[@ImperialEarthEmpire]

This the type of tutorial ive been looking for, other youtubers should learn from you instead of ramblings unnecessary nonsense things in their videos...

[@tugger]

Goes to show how much navel gazing and nerd hipsterism is in the grand strat community tbh

[@stonefishh]

Great job! I was worried if I could ever learn to play CK2 and now I feel very confident. Thanks!

[@jlucas3931]

Thank you very much. I was finally able to play the game thanks to this video and I'm loving it. A good and clarifying tutorial like this is something rare to find for Paradox games.

[@michaelbell4108]

Finally a tutorial that doesn't try to be funny and actually gets on with the job, cheers.

[@colejohnson5810]

If only the official tutorial were this great! That's earned you a subscriber!

[@5409029]

thank you so much bro, really help for noob. i played EU4 before and CK II really different, now i know the difference and the fun part of this game

[@claralima1967]

My man, you did the impossible. Not even a Saint's patience could get me through this game's tutorial, it was just a mess of menus and the hints were either too generic and vague or too detailed but on the wrong thing. Thank you so so so much, I finally get what's going on

[@vozhdenko932]

Thanks so much! This was the best CK2 tutorial I have seen.

[@detritus5151]

Fantastic job - many thanks. Cleared up a lot of little things I still wasn't sure about. I had my first successful plot yesterday - I started right there in noobtown but Brian's stats were so much better than his father's (I mean the king was useless), so I married Brian to a fiery intelligent ambitious welsh lass and before you can say "Long live the king" I had a little "hunting" accident. I am now ruling happily as Brian.

[@erikkalkoken3494]

Best beginners's tutorial I've watched so far.

[@Arthur-hw1yj]

This was an extremely concise and easy to follow tutorial and very well explained, thank you.

[@daniellawson6449]

You are AMAZING at delivering a great beginner tutorial. Kudos to you for finding a natural flow to demonstrate how the game works in a realistic organic way. You bounced around but I was able to follow everything logically. You’ve definitely inspired me to give this game another shot.

[@MikeDwarf98]

Very good tutorial, good tone and informative.

[@voteZDLR]

Yeah this is probably the best short tutorial on CK2 that I have found so far. Thanks for this. I found that I learned more things from watching than I had already learned thus far. I second the notion you should make more advanced tuts or maybe even do a "Let's Play CK2 -- Emperor of the WORLD" edition where its more like a series and you show us how to do just that from scratch, decision by decision. I guess that's not the easiest thing in the world to do in a game like this, though lol

[@federicotak3300]

thanks very much for this. I started the game and felt completely overwhelmed but now at least how to get started.

[@Mixanga]

W O W. Probably the best basic tutorial I've seen of CK2 and just in 20 minutes. Respect

[@dannyle7799]

This is the best tutorial of CK2 in the internet

[@leoe.5046]

Ck2 is so in depth - he didn't even get to talk about most of the game😂😂 Still this is one of the best tutorials out there (no idea why I watched it as I already know how to play the game)

[@danielbrown8199]

If I was a game designer I would absolutely hire you to do official tutorials. You rock!

[@aubekin]

Very nice tutorial! I myself have played for hundeds if not thousands of hours over the years, but looked for tutorial for friends who asked, and this one shines. Nicely done! I'd add to explaining to traits that they do affect how AI plays those charecters, as in lustful charecter is more likely sleep around etc... Or I'm not sure, it's prob more fun to find it out oneself

[@EggoH1992]

Thank you. Tutorial has made me confident in returning to the game after a poor start!

[@pudghehookz2344]

your voice is so calming and the video is really concise 10/10 keep it up proud of ya

[@Bancofty97]

I was gonna purchase this game a few months ago after trying the demo, so glad I didn't because now it's free. Also a very helpful video to follow for a peasant beginner.

How is it free?

[@OvercomingAndThriving]

This tutorial is really good, I've put in quiet a few hours into the game and always felt like I was doing something wrong as if I should be doing more within all the years gone past, but it's just normal for the game to progress that way.

[@Riecheck]

Very helpful! Going to try my first playthrough as Ireland then watch you're other tutorial and try another one! Thank you! =D

[@mkeating5111]

Dude you are an excellent trainer. If you are not already making a living using this skill you should start.

[@gollnaz]

this game was added to my steam library for free a few weeks ago, funny thing is I'm more of an Action/Adventure player and wouldn't really consider buying such a game but since I got it anyway and now I've found your tutorial I think I might like it! so thanks and keep up the good videos 😊

[@stonebridge157]

Very good tutorial :) This is sure one of the most hardest Strategy games I've played so far. :)

[@mikek3459]

Very instructional tutorial btrekkie and thanks for the calmly explaining. CK2 is indeed a complex game and so much things to concentrate on. Keep up your good work and like to see more vids :D

[@Spacegamejunkie]

Thank you for this. Been banging my head against this game for ages, and this is very helpful.

[@Nemenon]

wow I've seen a few tutorials now and this is easily by far the most clear one for someone like me whos brain starts to hurt when I try to play this mess lol. When playing myself the who council thing confused me because I could only click on one of their duties at a time and I couldn't tell if they were doing anything. Because they weren't. I didn't realize you had to click the map afterwards, which makes a lot of sense. I have yet to play a game that makes me feel as intellectually inadequate as this one lol.

[@FPSGamer48]

This was amazing! I just got this game and was very confused by the tutorial!
