One huge tipp I can give to anyone wanting to go tall is to pay attention to the events when traveling. There's this one event that says something like "We could implement this back home" that gives your capital an insane buff for 15 years. I can't remember the exact name of the event but it gives you like -15% building cost, 15% building speed, 20% taxes and 15% dev growth it's quite honestly a bit overpowered

[@colby1398]

Idk if I'd call it "skillful" but it's stupidly easy to tell a program "put units where they get the best bonuses". I highly doubt they'll plan ahead and build troops or buildings that complement each other, but they'll absolutely put their units into whichever holding gives the biggest numbers.

[@rockmcdwayne1710]

Now that we have had plenty of time to play and see... AI will absolutely not buff their troops as players do. If you want to get max value out of your troops you need to combine 4 or more buildings for max buffs and so far i havent seen AI do any of that. They build absolutely random buildings in their holdings. Its a lucky rng if they get 2 or more buildings that complement eachother in 1 holding, hence, if you buff your MAA properly you absolutely steamroll everything. Your troops become like space marines compared to any AI on the map!

I kinda wish they tied building slots to development, instead of just global increases from tech... Would make it much more interesting imo and well developed territory even more valuable.

[@slingshot7792]

Nah, it makes sense for the medieval era. This isn’t Victoria 3. Edit: to add on this, development in medieval era is totally different than what you’re saying. Back then the population of Flanders was maybe ~3-5k people. Development meant to the lords and peasants only meant suitable land for building and farming. Which would increase with tech. Because it’s medieval era. They are literally building with stones and shovels mate, it gets better over time.

[@noriantiri9310]

​@@slingshot7792 what are you saying 5 k people in Flanders?

[@slingshot7792]

@@noriantiri9310 Flanders at that time, like many other places in the world especially 1066, did not have a single city(For Flanders). The population especially in Medieval era is spread out across many small villages and towns. Not a single large city. Only exceptions are the the few we know of in the Middle East, Byzantium empire, England, France, Spain, Italy, HRE, etc. While we consider “large cities” to be tens of hundreds of thousands of people, most only had few thousands to ten thousands. (Expect a few exceptions) At the time. Don’t be a Neanderthal. 5k population in one area doesn’t mean the entire surrounding area like Netherlands, France, etc. Since we have no idea because they’d rather send the poor people as peasants and levy’s into war then value information and population index, it is an accurate estimation, for Flanders ONLY. Also take in for account high mortality rate and lower life expectancies. The population of europe especially in that time is extremely unevenly distributed. William the Conqueror’s grand army to take England only had 6-7K troops. In a populated and developed Normandy. AND he recruited from other areas nearby from allies. Now think about Flanders. Flanders would go through a boom between 1200-1300 due to its strategic location and eventual urban centers of Ghent Bruges and Ypers, which became thriving centers of trade and commerce. But not in 1066. But of course most of this work was changed due to the Great Famine of 1315-1317, the Black Death and Hundred Years’ War that devastated Flanders and Europe.

[@CityLover117]

What I like about the new men-at-arms system is that it allows you to diversify your army. No matter what I pretty much always went skirmishers+archers+strength in numbers and then max out military camps. This new system actually allows for the tic-tak-toe of counters to actually be effective.

@@jossebrodeur6033 Except, no, you are completely wrong. While it does take big amounts of gold, you either forget, or purposefully ignore one thing. Money is easier to make now. The new buildings they added are much better than before, and you can have more of them, even faster if you start in 1066. And even if you start in 867, you will be limited in your building slots, therefore, you won't build, therefore, you will stack more gold.

[@iankupchik857]

As long as diplomacy keeps being as easy as it is there’s no playstyle that won’t be piss easy (except maybe a no allies playstyle). No matter how tall or short you can always find a few big dog allies to basically make you unconquerable and then do whatever you want

[@jakecarson2653]

If you ally with an AI that's stronger than you they should try to conquer you later. Like they should react to the new opportunity you present. Especially if you ally with them by "marrying off" (children born into the other house) your family member. Because historically that's what happened. If a smaller nation sought an alliance with a larger one, they were opening themselves up to invasion down the line

[@mortache]

Yes but short can be far more powerful than tall because you aren't wasting money on wars and have built up your domains and you don't have to appease your vassals, let alone waste money on further civil wars. And vassals only give you levies which is useless anyways compared to men at arms.

[@Cdre_Satori]

You can, and then they dissolve the alliance in a year the first time you refuse to join one of their dozen or so wars. Or your sister is unfaithful, or the big dogs just SUCK at war. I had several just hang around my army not really fighting, just sieging for a few months, then reshuffle.

[@carltonleboss]

The roleplay potential of this update and DLC is insane.

[@KonaFanatiker]

There is a thing about tournaments, where you can cheese visiting one extra location at the end of the tournament. When it get's to declaring the final winner for the current contest ('you are waiting for the ceremony to begin') you pause the game, then click to wrap up the message / window. And then while you are pasued, you are officially still in the 'contest' phase, but you are no longer forced into the contest window. So you see the temple, artisans, village, etc. Gives you one additional visit, to try and get a nice bonus. Be that extra relaxation, an extra chance for artifacts / artifact upgrades, recruitment, gaining stats / piety. Also, as many people have said already, try to become friends with your steward as that boosts the progress speed of their 'increase development' task. You can do it even at feasts without having perks for befriending. Just check the guestlist to make sure they participate and then you can choose to attempt to befriend them as a goal for the activity.

[@lightwalker222]

Honestly I think this will make the game more fun for me. I always play tall (or at least make my capital and nearby counties tall) and when I start getting my buildings and buffing my men-at-arms, the strength difference between me and my neighbors starts to feel like I've already "won" by the time I'm ~200 years in. If it takes research to make that happen, I think it will make for much more interesting games.

The territory army change... Zieley did you heard about the army build that threat and protect their soldier so well that in the end of a combat you actually return with negative casualities? (don't know if they fixed this) Maybe now it can be a lil more relevant Caballeros are used and combined with some coast bonus where you have better defense its a way to protect your territory, also most of the coast terrain are Hill, Dryland or Plain you can build Hunting grounds and them Archery Grounds or Joustin Fields, while also having tradeports and with the rigth culture like Norse and/or African you can reduce embark cost and increase speed, they also can already have sea related tradition for better economy and defense you can also get Hit and run tatics or Konni (with still a good ligth cavalry) if slavic to combo screen and cavalary upgrades, there also horse lords Embak cost and sea related upgrades is easier with norse they get -75% cost reduction but you can make some crazy raiders with West African Canoes since they also increase raid speed and if you get praticed pirates dinasty it can get even faster and also turn raid into something you can do later on, if you want to increase your invasion game since you can Raid and go back faster them the target can recover To go even crazier in the min-max, religions like Vidilism that if reformed can get Astrology and its holy sites give combat advanatage in controlled territory, even less embark cost, increase your troop screen or Achamanism with crazy development from hills (also has Megaliths), naval speed (double with Astrology if reform) and most holy sites are in african coast What i saying you can make a literal Turtle emprie, they are hardy, stoic, live long, love the beach and are chill, but has everything to be a menace you can make they travel cheap and fast and if necessary win combats by losing, problem is the Knigth in command because it get wounded by every loss (maybe is a way to deal with unwanted kids)

New to ck3 and you Get a sub because you are the only channel i found with anything recent do you happen to have an updated guide for tall play?

[@ninjadolphin01]

Feels like the changes are just going to make fascination bonus rushing even more meta

[@wentcambro7625]

Such a good update. I feel like it makes it more realistic.

[@whatismynameohwhatismyname]

Sucks that all of my mods will be broken again, but honestly this looks like it's worth doing a vanilla game for, so I can't wait. Lastly, definitely sucks that I already bought hte bundle, next time one comes out I'll definitely buy it through you.

[@FighteroftheNightman]

I like the man at arms buildings changes. It introduces some flavor to cities and makes your army composition a little more dynamic early game. No more building barracks in every city 😂

[@emilianohermosilla3996]

Great as always!

[@languageguy5539]

Used your link to purchase Chapter II. You are my favorite CK3 content creator.

[@a.a677]

Glad you got early access, you deserve it.

[@unlustig1]

Epic Wilhelm Scream intro!

[@LunemerLunto]

I love CKIII going more into the roleplaying aspect

[@deusvult6920]

Except this is such a shallow DLC it's basically an event pack I want to see some kind of trade system (not anything like Vicky 3 though)

[@zap648]

​@@deusvult6920 Well, shallow is a simply wrong description, as the DLC is explicitly enriching a lot of the current systems already present in the game, such as through the new traveling mechanic.

[@LunemerLunto]

If one line of code can make me experience the game differently that's great. Way better than other games installing Gigas of updates just for the game to feel the same

[@enavorkind2101]

I would love to see you compete w CK3!! As a testament to the tall play style.

[@LevCallahan]

Honestly, after hearing about how the developers changed the building system with the slots... this actually makes the playthrough, in my opinion, even more immersive. Basically, a realm is bound by the knowledge of the people. Obviously there's a lot of nuance to this concept as far as limits to infrastructure and economic development goes in the medieval world. But one way to emulate this is by giving a representative symbol of these limits in what is able to be developed as far as quantity is concerned. By the time of the Renaissance, infrastructure and overall prosperity had reached its height, and this is reflected by increasing the building slots. Tldr: from the perspective of immersion and game balance, I agree with the building slot nerfs.

[@cba2make1up]

Literally the video I was looking forward to the most since that dev diary dropped

[@DrGrabAss.]

This was great to watch. I just started playing and have zero context for what is considered "good" numbers and "bad" or "average" for things like development, gold per month, prestige per month, etc. Off i go to see what my numbera actualy look like on my most recent campaign. Could you (or have you already) make a video that provides some goals to aim for for those types of things?

[@Xaintrix]

Noooooo tall my boy

[@vexuria]

that "remove hard cap on ages" mod you used a few videos before this is looking even juicier now

[@Matttt09]

I'm loving all the new mechanics they're implementing for this update. Oh, congrats on the sponsorship! Make sure to spend all of it on cookies.

[@gladr9272]

Wow wow this is my first look into the update, seems almost like a different game

[@Deathelement53]

That dutch "hello" had me actually laughing out loud

[@Rahbekkk]

+12 vassal limit seems like a lot on that brooch lol

[@wazz9000]

By jove! Sponsored by paradox? Congrats man that's awesome!! 🎉🎉

[@Mokuu8]

I open YT after a long and not so fun gaming session and the first Video I see is this one :D Best feeling :D

[@Night_Haunter]

Hey i got a question why didnt you make a hybrid between dutch and norse Love your videos, keep it up.

[@Cynthwayve]

Right-o lets give this a watch.

[@szymonlit7117]

Do the stationed units become part of the garisson during sieges?

[@yakattack317]

That’s a good question

[@thenotoriousgoob]

This DLC looks the best so far

[@MrGroyper]

For sure the best ck3 videos 😂 good vid man

[@xToffux]

Good video. Wtf happend at 32:26, the background of the character was switching wildly around. :D

[@whitetiger85_60]

Out of all of the Paradox DLC that came out recently, this is probably the best expansion even though it's rather expensive. It's crazy how much is in this. Domination was decent though, but in comparison to everything else this is definitely the best DLC they've released in a long time.

[@Enward834]

Wish this video was longer. Hopefully we will get a longer tall game soon
