Making a TINY KINGDOM rich by PLAYING TALL in CK3

[@henryglennon3864]

Fun Fact: Laith is good at playing tall in computer games, because he himself is so very, very tall. He's especially tall, when you consider that his father was one of the Tunisian extras inside the "jawa" costumes in the original Star Wars {1977}. Hence, his childhood nickname "Wootinie".

I do not understand why he did not invest in men at arms or even use mercs to stop raiders. Useless to try and increase dev and play tall when you constantly get raided and have your dev destroyed.

[@beanz239]

It's also good to marry your old male courtiers to young women outside your court so when the old men die, you'll have more young single female courtiers to marry off.

Starting as Earl Alfred in 867, I got his learning up to 63 before he died. If I went on enough more pilgrams I probably could have gotten 2 more of the books that give +1 learning per devotion, but I only had 2. Pulled up a save from 911 and he is 62 with 66 learning but just got infirm.

If you want to play just tall like that, Sardinia and Corsica would have been a better choice, also island, further away from raiders and a gold mine.

[@alistairt7544]

First time playing CK3 and I picked Sardinia and initially I wanted to focus on learning the game, and just improve dev and make tons of money. Ended up making Empire of Italia and getting all of Bavaria under the empire so far on my first character, who's pushing 80 years old at this point lol Idk how y'all play this cause I'm stressed out managing this empire, which isn't even big yet lol Trying to spread my dynasty to all the Kingdoms around me, murdering rulers so my matrilineal marriages take over, trying to keep them on those thrones, while getting dragged in wars from allies is so stressful lol Then trying to educated the kids of my dynasty and of my courtiers, and marrying my single courtiers to find the best stat people to be my knights and courtiers, tutors, etc. I'm loving this game but I think I'm kinda getting carried away with the micromanaging aspect 😅😂

[@satanwithinternet2753]

tbh the only ppl who do that are litteral bitches. like what even the point all you are doing is waisting time watching 1 number go up. building a building which is effectively just pressing the buuild button every few years then just sitting and waiting for 30 years until u get battlements to just upgrade ur wall so that you can start upgrading the buildings again and at the end you realise you just waisted 14 hours of your life without even doing anything that was really fun, all in the chase of that cool idea of being really really yellow in a map game. get a life

I had like 9 different things giving me +1 learning per devotion level, but I already had every holy site so a few pilgrimages and my characters would get into the 60s, 70s, and best character had 84 learning at one point. Of course by that point I was like 30 years ahead of the next era so it didn't really do much for me lol

If you play tall in Cornwall, here would have been my Tips: 1: Take the last Castle Title from your Vassal. 2.Make it your new Capital so that it has 1 more Building-Slote. 3. Dont care about Legitimacy, because you have no Vassals, and marry a common Girl with genius trait. 4. Decide if you want to have the Bretagne for money and levies or/and conquer the last County for the Kingdom of Cornwall ( If you dont have enough troops to conquer anything, make Men-at-arms or buy Mercenaries, they are also crucial against raiders, and for the claims, simply request them for the Pope or go for the Perk in the Learning Lifestyle to simply make Claims, or let your Priest do it) (If you dont have Money, youll will need to wait for Events for it and go Stewardship Lifestyle) 5. Make the Kingdom of Cornwall. ( NEVER EVER do it with Cornwall in the Startdate alone, Its just WAY to annoying and you would need to wait half the game just so that a random fucker can Raid you cause you have no money or troops.

My dream Culture/Religion Renaissance for Condor "the Trojan" to create would have the Arthurian Culture Diverge from Cornish into: Bureaucratic Ethos, Forest Folk, Metalworkers, Sorcerous Metallurgy, Only the Strong, Beacon of Learning, and Reverence for Veterans (since everyone gripes about Chivalry)

[@Chooch1080]

[@Chooch1080]

Not to insinuate you don't know the game but below is a reference to discount the Prestige Costs for the Arthurian Cultural Tenets listed above: Sorcerous Metallurgy - 3 Counts have Witch Perk Beacon of Learning - 5 Counts have Scholar Perk Reverence for Veterans - 5 Counts have either Maimed, One (Eye, or Leg), and/or Scarred Perk Only the Strong - 6 Knights have 12 or more Prowess Forest Folk - 30% of Culture is in Taiga/Forest Metalworkers - Culture has built at least One Mine

[@Chooch1080]

I only posted the discounted Prestige breakdown. Since Condor is so old. He will need to move quickly to conquer and convert all of the U.K. He is quite old, so he would probably need to Min/Max to create the Culture and Faith before dying. But if he does. His Witches Coven could keep him alive for quite some time.
