I Created the RICHEST KINGDOM on this OP ISLAND in Crusader Kings 3

How I Created the RICHEST KINGDOM on this OP ISLAND in Crusader Kings 3? Easy! By using one of the most overlooked and amazingly broken development area in CK3, India, in combination with the best Kingdom start in the whole game, and unique cultural buildings that are so stupidly powerful and broken It's almost a bug or an exploit!
In this video, Koifish will play as the incredibly overpowered and strong Kingdom of Lambakana, and focus purely on building up a strong and powerful economy! It's all about making gold, boosting our development and building tall! But our end goal is much more warlike, as we intend to grow our power... before we unleash it and reclaim ALL of India!
There's a whole bunch of Kingdoms that can be formed in Crusader Kings 3, but there's also a bunch of hidden formable nations that many CK3 players have yet to find and form! These formable ck3 kingdoms and ck3 empires require super specific events, decisions and triggers in order to form them and in this video we will show you how to play as some of the most unknown countries in crusader kings 3.
But this kingdom is one of the basic ones, but has the insane power of a gold mine, as well as starting in India, one of the early game high development areas! This is the BEST way to play tall and build Development in CK3! And how to Create the most BROKEN and TALL kingdom in Crusader Kings 3!
I will be using all the tips and tricks and strategies that I went over in my Lifestyle guide series, mainly focusing on Martial and Learning! I'm also playing with all the current DLC, Including Northern Lords, Royal Court and Fate of Iberia, as well as the latest addition to the game: Legacy of Persia!

*WHOA MY VERY OWN ISLAND ALL FOR MYSELF WHERE THERE'S NO LAWS I HAVE TO FOLLOW?!?!* In Crusader Kings 3! What a crazy concept! And make MONEY we will, as this video is probably the most insane display of TALL CK3 I have ever made! So sit back, RELAX, and enjoy this EXTRA THICC Koifish CK3 video!

[@Chooch1080]

I think you should Diverge your Culture when available to include "Agrarian" and "Forrest Folk". This will allow you to max out the Development from the whole of the island 🤙🏿🍻. You can also choose a New Ethos (if you Diverge). You can pick one more conducive to boosting Development and Gold Income.

You know, I've been a hobbyist balcsksmith since hoghschool, have researched countless ways of casting my own iron and smelting my own steel and your video is not only the first time I've heard of the wind furnace, you've given a better explanation of its function than anything I've ever seen on KZbin. What's funny is that I've researched the sub continents technology before and still have never heard of this. Mad respect, ck3 devs for this level of research

[@mehuna66]

Search for Samanalawewa wind powerd furnace . Our ancestors used monsoon wind to power their furnaces to produce steel

[@peterbaracska8738]

Actually, wind furnace is the oldest technology of iron smelting. They started to use it in the mountains of the middle east, where the foehn wind provided a steady supply of air for this industry on the slopes. I guess, the wind isn't as strong as the monsoon in India, so other methods proved more efficient in the middle east.

I had a income of +30 gold in the tiny islands of Crete and Malta while being a vassal of the Byzantine. Did a variangan invasion on the island, got a hook on the Byzantine emperor so he wouldn't remove my titles, and spent the first 100 years raiding for development and money. Had the highest developed county as a tiny island viking warlord

[@ffreeze9924]

Funnily enough you can pretty much do this exact same thing in imperator (yuck, _that_ game). Greek countries can unlock the ability to raid coastlines and steal pops and if you start in Crete you can build a huge fleet and raid the entire Mediterranean for people to stockpile on the island. My attempt at this went really well until I had a civil war and for some reason the entire fleet sided with the enemy and I got exiled to Sicily

But...but...but the 2 juicy duchies right from the left of your island? Its my favourite place to start to plan my world conquest! If i may be so bold, i would say its far supperior to the island holdings. Amazing development, lots of farmlands and a county with SEVEN holdings! I know, island has a opal mine special building but, it still cant compete with the full power of the other 2 duchies! Also one little hint. If you combine norse culture with the tamil culture, you have access to varangian vets that are getting bonkers with all the building buffs. Like 250 dmg and 150 toughness kind of bonkers! Plus add in a division of elephants with over 1k dmg. Its the indian vikings mon! You do need a holding on hills though for the champion halls. So you have barracks, champion halls, wind furnaces and blacksmith + bonus from fort level. It gets crazy!

[@MastaFista]

what's crazy is that while the Mongol empire on my own playthrough was 50,000 strong, this random Indian kingdom exceeded that while only having that small plot of land. It almost looked like this guy was funding the surrounding Indian kingdoms to use them as his mercenaries. The AI in this new Persian DLC is learning how to play tall in all the far flung places you'd never even look at.
