Good luck with that considering that 80% of Iceland is uninhabitable.

Can you please give credit to AlzaboHD? He did this idea before you did and I’m wondering if you got the idea from him.

I love how you found a random Irish lad, forced him to covert, and the second he agrees he is appointed Godi and now has to act as a religious leader to a system he's been a part of for less than a year. Clan Ui Briaian must be like "I have no idea how I got this job and at this point, I'm too afraid to ask questions."

We Irish happily worked with the Norse, we loved a good war even back then but it was usually fighting ourselves.

I saw you stumble on an "ð" in a name, and you'll be seeing a lot of these in this playthrough, I think. Treat the following as a "th" and you should be close enough: Ð, ð, Þ, þ. (upper/lower case pairs, there's a slight difference between eth and thorn, but nobody is going to care :P)

[@natthakitkorsawatpat4300]

the character is brave and ambitious. the only trait he miss is either stubborn or stupid if he thinks sailing from Iceland to India is a good thing to do.

[@Nalvash]

The key difference between Bravery and Stupidity is results

[@jasonpickens9839]

One more thing, double check your prisoners stats before you ransom them off. Also get all the unmarried women (or men if you can have female courtiers/knights). Might be better to force them to join you. Great way to get more knights (which BTW you got distracted after calling for more knights and missed the notification for at least 2 experienced fighters).

[@1995Gengar]

Icelandic person here! Love this! Ljónshjarta is exactly right!

[@agentmahou6222]

You'll definitely want to do at least one dynasty unlock in Pillage because Making a Killing is really good and once you've picked up the first rank of a tree, you can unlock more of it even if you change your culture, so that way you can keep it after going with your hybrid culture.

[@2amigos70]

So happy you’re back with ck3! I hope the move went well and you and your family are doing good 😊 greetings from France!

[@edrugman5597]

It was today that i realised (after looking a Iceland for a while) that the 4 counties on Iceland just mean North land, West Land, South land and east land.

[@ntfoperative9432]

The Vikings were very much like Asgore when it came to naming things

i’m newish to CK3, has france always looked that long? in my game it doesn’t look like that, but i have the Rajas mod

Don't forget to marry off your courtiers to pull in good counsellors or knights.

[@troyollewellyn]

So happy to see this game back on the channel, as much as I adore total war CK3 just has a nice change of pace and no two campaigns feel remotely the same! Thanks lionheart ✌️

[@arthurpendragon6709]

Let's goooooo! You are genuinely my favorite CK3 youtube so seeing this new series is just what I need, keep up the content!

[@luffegasen7711]

If nobody will, then I'll have to ... ^^ The letter "ð" is pronounced like the "th"-sound in "them". Your English "th"-sounds are (of course) something the vikings left around in England for you to pick up. Ooh! BTW the letter "Å" in modern day Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish ... You actually pronounce it perfectly when you say "oh", Lionheart. You actually go like "ååoh". So keep the sound short, and you have the "Å"-sound (at least in Danish!)! ;)

[@thomasskelly8485]

If your wife does not give you an Heir, ID keep her for her stats, you can use concubines for children if necessary

[@JacksonOwex]

Why am I seeing so many people saying "I'm so glad your back to CK3, I've waited so long" when it's only been a couple of months(at the time this video came out at least) that he had finished the last series? With the fact that it sounds like he moved and got married that seems awfully short to me, I guess I am just more patient than them!

[@Kiepeleur]

Did this kind of run aswell, but I grabbed the Tamil duchy of Pandya first, since it's so highly developed

[@quinntheking]

I am realizing I have no clue how combat works in this game, I have like 3x the units the enemy has and I get wiped and you're there with half the units as the enemy and winning

[@DarkxSonxOfxDathomir]

The combat is so complex man, my advise is don’t use auto, assign your men at arms and commanders based on terrain perks that match the current terrain your in and then use that terrain to your advantage by picking your battlegrounds.

[@MeldinX2]

Some men-at-arms counter others. That and how good your commander is and what his traits are also matter. One last thing is terrain bonuses. For example crossing a major river and attacking defenders in a mountain will give your army huge penalties.

[@KLUKKANERFIMM]

Take my nation to glory Ljónshjarta! And you are correct with the name of your faction just fyi. I look forward to seeing the progress you make in this campaign. Fyrir Föðurveldið!!!!

[@smitty2516]

When raiding you keep trying to run away to the sea. It takes much longer to go from land to sea then land to another land tile

[@johnlandon8741]

I would say adventure and take some of law so when you get over to India you’ll have an easier time converting, if not keeping a better public order.

[@sashahenriksen]

Thats a fun idea for a series, loving it so far. I'm Icelandic and Audr The Deep-Minded, who was a real person is actually one of my ancestors. Fun to see that in the game haha.

[@mattyboy442]

As someone who's never played and watching this to see if it's a game I'd like to pick up, how come you lost Iceland after making your way into Ireland?

[@dianabialaskahansen2972]

Pillage is amazing. Just raid, raid, raid and watch as you become richer than the Pope. Especially the one where you swim in gold the more you kill on the battlefield.

[@user-sw8tj5sl5e]

This is awesome, I was longing for some more lionheart ck3 vids. I learned about the mini-flavor pack they did recently with the Canary Islands and thought that would make for an awesome series. They now have a unique culture and religion and a decision to form a kingdom.

once you get to egypt/ethiopia, you have to jump to the eastern part of arabian peninsula in order to reach india. Even the island on the far east of Africa isnt close enough to the maldives.

Is this game Crusaders Kings 3 worth the buy?, ive been putting it off for awhile

[@MeldinX2]

It is if you like these types of games. If you never played any of these games before it does have a learning curve however. It's not as extreme as in Crusader kings 2 but it will take some time to learn all the little systems.

[@russelllanceblance4730]

I always love Viking started war soundtrack

[@rhzyo]

Why you go diplo education if you're going down martial tree? Also romance schemes are good to gain prestige & fighting battles while raiding. Don't forget to marry courtiers off to gain better knights & council members

[@danielfaflik4545]

Nice play through just started watching. On a side note if you look up AEW wrestling here in the US you look just like John Silver who's in the Dark Order faction lol.

[@BruvvaUK]

Anyone else playing or plan on playing Viking ruler, their is 3-4 raidable places on the east/south coast of England that have special interaction/ choices with them. One of the spots had 69gold as loot. Also a couple on the French coast further south. So far the Viking ruler start has been my favorite.

hey Lionheart! is this self made banner? If so please tell me how to create your own banner and utilise it ?

[@FireTemplar]

A good tactic for vikings when planning to conquer territory is to raid the area beforehand. Best case scenario they try and fight you and you wipe them out, otherwise the extra cash and prestige is a good way to get the extra resources for the war of conquest.

[@lionheartx10]

you'll need to buy the game via steam.

[@Einar730]

You sound like Totalbiscuit

[@Dokgreenthum]

Excellent stuff mate. Instead of spending your renown looking for more knights, check your captured prisoners, recruit them, then throw them a tiny bit of gold, and then ask them to convert, which will give you a huge modifier positive opinion of you. More efficient then constantly swaying or gifting or calling more knights

[@Dokgreenthum]

* in that order, if you ask for the recruitment,conversion, at the same time it drops the negative opinion modifier too. Also it's best to constantly keep raiding as you lose prestige while while not raiding. I would also go for the crown and regnum crafting first as those will always give you a +renown modifier, which will be the biggest bottleneck

[@twiggy1063]

Definitely take the Bellum Justum martial perk, half price vangarian adventures which will definitely speed things up

[@nathan3859]

Why does he need to do VA? Isn't it easier to just take the furthest county and hop all the way to India? Then just make all the counties independent rulers when you get to India.

[@rhzyo]

You get the adventurer trait from VA which is such a good trait

[@nathan3859]

@@rhzyo can you do that once and then go county hopping?

[@corvus1374]

I've noticed that the chaplains tend to show as 0 until you unpause for the first time, and then they get a lot of knowledge ability.

[@thepinoyspectator]

you don't need to do varangian adventures while traveling to india, if you did every succeeding varangian adventure becomes more costly. May i suggest just invade county then on to the next , from ireland, maybe take a county in brittany, then napoli or sardinia, then crete, then maybe sudan , yemen, then sri lanka, just a suggestion though

[@lionheartx10]

Tried that, wont work after a while as you get too stretched and constant wars stop you advancing. This is way more fun to do.
