I saved this viewers crumbling economy in ck3

Today I am saving Peter's game file where he played created a massive Norse empire only to have it collapse after switching to feudalism. Changing government types can be a very tricky part of Crusader Kings 3, so I think this video will be great for those of you who like to play tribal. Will I be able to do it? You'll have to watch to find out 👀

i am not sure can this be a challenge 🤔, create the 1. Mann and the Isles kingdom , next 2. the North Sea empire, last 3. Danelaw and then daneland. this is sooo hard as the timing is hard, (first)as danelaw cannot create before the North Sea empire. (sec) the Norman culture cannot reach the early medieval Era.

[@jasonyeung1830]

also I forget mention that creating Mann and the Isles kingdom will take up more time and lead to a more harsh perfecting timing(at least a life )

Advise to anyone playing norse culture: Hybridize it with greek. You can take all norse pillars (language, name, heritage everything really) to keep it purely norse if you want, so long as you pick the Bureaucratic ethos (which is the best one anyways, you want it). You can get the broken Eastern Roman Legacy cultural tradition (more Heavy infantry men at arms slots, pair nicely with Varangians, AND CATAPHRACTS) and all the nice tech the greeks have. Think of it as a modernization of your culture, instead of a hybridization.

I have never seen anyone fill every single court position. Madness. That's endgame behaviour.

[@user-lt2lf8sh8i]

When playing tall, having tens of thousands of gold with a small kingdom like Frisia or Sardinia and Corsica, its nice to fill all the positions. You're rich, +100 gold every month, assigning them will give a LOT of flavour to your game.

[@chasercharls]

Gets into insurmountable debt... "You could commit suicide?"

[@dimo9463]

Well second Time seems to be the charm hopefully video doesn't disappear again, also love all your video's and your channel. As far as Feudalizing goes i would recommend just doing a manual save before clicking the button. Even if you are playing a ironman game you can just crash the game if you get bad buildings. The reason I recommend this is because the Buildings you get are completely random, so if you get unlucky you can end up with almost no Income Buildings or you can end up with mostly income buildings. I did some tests and sometimes i would be making -10 gold how it was in this video and sometimes i would be making +10. Something to remember is that the level of the building gets transferred when you feudalize, so you should upgrade all your tribal buildings to level 2, because then you will get feudal buildings also at level 2 and tribal buildings are way cheaper.

[@tylerjohnson4652]

I feel like this game just brings out my anxious side and makes me a save fiend

[@Ohwellrt]

You're my favourite KZbinr! I love your video content and I can't wait for your next video!

[@Zieley]

😍 thanks legend

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

Yeah, I usually never feudalize unless I either have 2k+ gold saved (with poor dev lands) or I have a lot of good counties in my realm that means I'll have decent vassal tax incoming for me to be able to raid some to quickly recover my economic base. Feudalizing in your starting lands in Scandinavia should not be done without a massive amount of raiding gold as a stockpile, and even then you might need to cut back on the Varangian Vets to stabilize the eco for the first couple years. I've had to sacrifice some Var Vets even in good eco runs (conquest of Cordoba and Al-Andalus off the top of my head) just to make sure I don't risk backsliding during the delicate transition period. You can really survive with just a couple of the special MAA and some of the cheaper ones as backup, the Norse MAA are just that good that even 1 stack can carry the early game with sufficient backup. A word of advice, hybridizing with Greek is dummy OP, take Bureaucratic ethos for more lifestyle xp and dev growth stacking, and take East Roman Legacy for the Heavy Infantry buff, and you can stack DUMMY THICC Varangian Veteran stacks with a developed Economy.

Yes, but I think something about going feudal makes the Norse splinter off into their respective national identities. Could be wrong tho, it's been a while since I played. And once they do that they lose the Longships... I think.

I love playing Tribal, especially in west africa with the 3 gold mines. Transitioning to Feudalism is always kinda rocky but once you know what to expect you can sort of just build up a crap ton of gold and make it smooth.

Currently doing a African playthrough. I think I also switched yo early. I switched over as soon as I finished all my rank 1 research. I used to have 40k to 50K armies but now I got knocked down to 20k and it took me almost two centuries to reach those numbers again. I had 40k gold so that helped with any hard wars.

It's funny seeing this game because this is sort of repeating history. Of how it went for Norway. Look up Harald Hardrada. He also created a grand Norwegian empire, then invaded Northern England, and was killed. This was seen as an act of God, that Norway was not meant to rule, which led to the formation of a personal union between Denmark and Norway, with the Danish crown effectively ruling Norway.

Mabey they could have a highest development county modifier 1-0 were 1= 100 dev then the culture total development is multiplied by the highest development modifier and it takes the equality of your provinces dev maybe the more equal development the more research.

I suggest only spreadong culture to the duchies you will personally hold so at max you'll have like 8-10 counties of your culture. After that you can increase cultural acceptance to prevent any uprisings or continue to focus on Developing your culture's counties. I also did what he did and expanded my culture like crazy thinking it would be good in the long run. Ideally youbwant your culture to be militarily dominant to your vassals. Because while you have t2 or t3 troops your vassals who rise upnwill still be stuck on the base men at arms in addition you can keep stacking development and building enhancements. When they rise in rebellion it will be far too easy to defeat them

Merge few cultures on the way to get these nice upgrades and when people finally start moaning about you being tribal, THEN you will go to feudal. Believe me, you will come out super strong. Allthough, going feudal too early is a bloody disaster as shown in this video here.
