- Crusader Kings 2 is a wonderful grand-strategy game that tells an epic story of one family across years and generations, through crusades, plagues, schemes and assassinations, as we try - and quite possibly fail - to grow our tiny home into a mighty empire...

"Yea she's my second daughter. Worth throwing away for a little prestige...." don't let that nice accent trick you. This is why these guys controlled half the world at one time lol
You're god damn right!
Queen Victoria: I agree
E
But "they" didn't because "they" weren't born until a few years ago. If anything " they" gave it all away.
Starts tge game talking about how the Cornish have held onto their culture, precedes to accept every request to raise his kids as another culture.
Eh, if he keeps his mayors and barons Cornish, his next rulers can always convert to the local culture. It's too early to worry about cultural conversion though.
Daughters who are going to marry. His son is the one that needs to keep the culture.
They haven't kept their culture, they reinvented it.
TJ Molina he doesn't have rajas so he can't
Good point, wonder how he set his culture conversion rules. Restricted is always how i roll nowdays, base game flips culture stupidly quick.
Jon: "So, I am a very decent, n ice person."
Every CKII player: "You won't last 3 years."
if you aren't raping, committing incest, committing adultery, stealing, and murdering then you aren't even playing the game
why is that lame?
Stoßtruppen he's just tryna troll lol
Always. And I mean. ALWAYS choose the seduction focus.
Well he did mary off his 10 year old daughter....
This video made me, an American, realize that Sussex is south of Middlesex, Wessex is west of Middlesex, Essex is east of Middlesex, and that there apparently isn’t a Norssex.
But there is a Northumbria
Cuz the Norse took it to Normandy... That came off as way more accurate than I intended it to be...
Yet I’m still waiting for that play through ft Saxon powerhouse 🤣😂🤣💯💯
But why will you middle sex....
Wasn't it obvious?
I for one welcome our new Norwegian overlords

"England just stopped existing." That's not quite true, Jon. What's actually going on is that England still exists, it's just that the King of Norway is now the King of both England and Norway. The Kindom of Norway is the represented title of his since that's what he has as his Primary title right now.
Yep. This can be important because depending on the kingdoms' succession laws, England and Norway could be inherited by different people. In this case, both are elective, so I think both kingdoms would have separate elections for their kings. Since Jon is a de jure subject of the kingdom of England, he should end up voting in that election, and become a vassal of whoever wins it (who may or may not also win the Norwegian election).
No, England doesn't exist anymore
Unless Harold actually chose to destroy the "Kingdom of England title, England very much does exist just as a secondary title of the King of Norway.
ElPerezoso He won't get to vote though. Cornwall isn't de jure England, it's de jure Wales. Otherwise he would already have gotten an popup about choosing someone to nominate!
True. He won't get to vote now but if Earl Cadoc's descendants hold onto the title long enough, it will become de jure part of England in 100 years time provided he doesn't go independent or something. He'd be able to vote then but not anytime soon.
I raise a Glass to King Jon "The Mad"
CPU Purple Heart/Neptune Oh god know I want him to go on a murder rampage with one of his monarchs.
Neptune 2: the Nepening if he doesn't I'll be disappointed
Cause all the Brittish Kings named Jon have had extreaaamly successful reigns...
I'm not mad. It's the ghosts who keep telling me to appoint a horse as chancellor who are mad.
Many A True Nerd
Don't worry Jon, one day you will make your horse your advisor and learn that killing your children is the key to a long reign.
Also joining a Satanic Cult.
[20:44] "So what I've got as my Chancellor, Martial, and Steward is basically just some guys. They're locals, they're not important."
Jon, the Steward is YOUR BROTHER.
E
"This has been such a long war"
That's because you never attacked Jon! You literally just waited for the Devons to starve even though you could've easily pressed the siege at any moment
Jon: "This was supposed to be a quick, easy war, just in and out!!"
Me: *Looks at every war literally ever* "Yea totally dude"
This is the perfect game for Jon! So excited to see more!

Here’s a tip:
The “career traits” like grey eminence and thrifty clerk are picked up by children based on their educators. The level of the trait is the little dots at the bottom of the icon, so if your daughter is educated by a grey eminence (level 4) she will be educated as a level three charismatic negotiator.
Also a court physician’s skill is based on their learning level, and you can usually invite a better one from the find character menu
That doesn't work with Conclave.
In Conclave your guardian only affects what events choices are picked and if you'll switch culture/religion.
Your characters base stat growth is based on whichever parent has the dominant marriage.
Your Education type is picked directly at age 12 and the level is based on the characters "intelligence" plus any traits that are considered benefical/negative to the education.
If you have an above average intelligence (such as Shrewd/Quick/Genius) + 2 beneficial traits and no bad traits, you have a 60% chance of a level 3 education and a 30% chance of a level 4 education (flipped if the child is genius vs the other two) and a 10% chance of a level 2 education.
Physician skill is based on learning, their opinion of the person they're treating, as well as certain traits. Renowned Physician giving the best all around treatments and well tested treatments but more mystical titles actually work better for experimental treatments (though it is possible to have a Renowned Physician Mystic who is well rounded at everything vs say a Scholar which has better well tested results but worse experimental results). Hospital level of the capital also gives a boost to effectiveness.

Overall, that was pretty competently done for an opener. Only two minor perception fails with troop movements, but I’d give that a pass, because, honestly, who hasn’t had a terrifying doom stack ninja up on them in CK2?
Good job, Jon, and thanks for giving CK2 a run on your channel!
Joshua Bowers once declared a war against a tribal when I was still a noob and I thought it would the easiest war ever until they called all their tribal allies and they had like 10k doom stack, that shit scared the hell outta me lol
E
"Irritatingly, some of the most talented people are women"
Nice one Jon.
oh god
that is so wrong taken out of context
honestly even with context that's wrong we were kinda fucked up lol
@@dmas7749 nah we were based af
time to return to tradition
A few things to note while he may be both the king of England and Norway because those are both existing titles (think of how you created the duke) the kingdoms may have different succession laws. That means when he dies its possible that the two kingdoms go to different people. This is important to keep in mind when you yourself hold multiple titles of the same rank, what he needs to do is destroy one of the titles so that so that both kingdoms land get inherited by the same person that helps keep the empire together so to say. Thats something you need to remember, only have two kingdom titles IF they have the same succession laws which can be checked by hovering over the title on the title bar when you click on a character.
you can also hold multiple kingdoms by creating the empire title so that the entire empire is passed on succession.
E
It might be a bit better to switch the map view to the overall realms, you can see who owns a county just by clicking on it (and on a character's capital county it shows the symbol of their crest)
I'll properly introduce the map modes next time - there's a LOT to explain in this game, so I didn't want to try to cover everything immediately!
Many A True Nerd next time... WAIT THIS IS A SERIES?
Many A True Nerd you should really read the advises in the comments, lots of good ones there you lack of knowledge...
Main one from me is if you go into character screen you can see how many man army he can raise, moving mouse over the number it shows you how many he gets from each source.
Always check the amount of money character has as that could be crucial as if he/she is nearly broke - big army needs to be fed 😉 as well as rich character can hire mercenaries 😎
E
Ships cannot fight each other they are simply transports. On problem I 've always had with crusader kings was just that, no matter how strong you wanted your navy, there was no point in making it larger than the amount of troops you have. Each ship carries 100 men
R.i.p tenets of tabby, long live the great kingdom of Cornwall
I've been watching CK2 videos for some time and never really fully understood why certain actions were being taken or how decisions were being made. But now after watching only the first video of your series I have a much better understanding of how to play the game and what different scenarios mean for the player. I subbed because I enjoyed your Hitman and Fallout vids and really liked your humor but now I'm doubly glad I found your channel. Thank you very much!
You definitely need to marry your horse by the way.
Yeeeeeeees
Queen Glitterhoof
Or at least put him on your Council
Forestxavier20 Sounds like a typical Tuesday night
Two people fighting a war for the same title are hostile against eachother, but not at war
Hehe..this’ll be good.
Edit; Jon, you forgot to mention killing anyone that...seems...problematic..yes..
All games of CK2 eventually become murder sims
tmage23 eventually? It starts in the beginning for me
My games ussualy devolve in to family murder/torture simulators.. well, with most of my games starting as Tribal that is sort of a must, damn gavelkine ellective.
killed over 40 people who were in a factiona against me. everytime i killed someone another one would take their place
*big mistake*
Jon: "I'm going to be playing as Cornwall."
Me: *dips out my Baileys in honor of my fallen Celtec brothers."
'The kingdom of England just ceased to exist and is now technically Norway'
This warms my Irish soul
As an American of English desent I can honestly say WTF
same feeling here
Except England still exists, it's just under Norwegian rule. If the King of Norway gives the land to someone else, England will become a vassal state, allowing for future freedom.
Jon, did you get Cornwall from Kilian?
Love it
TK Maximus cornwall is not real its a spaceship
Cornwall IS surprisingly overpowered.
Jon has been a supporter of the Cornish Independence party his whole life. Just a case of convergent memeing.
The historical enemy of Cornwall is steven the count of some island south of Arabia.
I realize this is an "old" video but I have to give credit - your explanation of the game and what everything does is SO welcome and helpful to a new comer to this game who keeps wanting to dive in but quickly confused and overwhelmed with the gorgeous depth of this game. Simply watching 30 min, I've learned SO much. And yes, I intend to finish the video but I had to pop in and say thank you for the entertaining vid. Subbed and liked.
As someone who grew up in Cornwall and loves the culture, I was so hyped to see this series start there. Kernow Bys Vyken!
Well, I’m sitting comfortably so let’s begin!
Live by sword...Live for a good, long time!
Armored, sharpened, and raring to go!
*Try to take **-Boo-** from Minsc inventory*
You cannot take Boo
"there is no time for me to pull out" i hope Claire heard that out of context...
Jon i swear if the next episode isn't called "All about how..."
Y tho Ytho and the next one “my life got flipped...”
Him commenting on the war, is like a sports commentator. It's Awesome!
Man I know this video is 2 years old but MY GOD MAN, you are amazing!! I love how I can watch one video and get a good story, a good tutorial, AND a good idea of what this game is about!!!
You sir have a genuine skill at let's plays!
Its about time
Just found this Story of yours, and what a great first episode! Stellar commentary mate! (to be fair, might've helped a wee bit that I'm Norwegian and always thought Hardråde should've won back in the day ;D )
Jon, thank you so much for doing a playthrough of this game. I use your videos as tutorials for certain games, learning from you, trying out the game, then going to a proper tutorial if I need to learn more. This is actually how I learned what to do in games like 60 seconds and helped me learn about the world of Fallout.
Loved the way you announced the Norway/Normandy fight @ 51:00 like it was a sporting event. Your excitement and enthusiasm adds color to what may have otherwise been just another CK2 playthrough.
Absolutely Beautiful Jon. You are quite correct when saying we love the story and I found this a wonderful game to create a story for us. Thank you so much for what you do. Aloha From Hawaii.
A female Earl is a Countess. Apparently no one ever came up with a proper female form of the name.
Well - its probably derived from Jarl isn't it? And I haven't heard of a feminine form of Jarl either :P
Though that may be due to ignorance :3
According to Wikipedia, the proper female form is "Lady"
For what? Jarl - or Earl?
Because if it's talking about Earls, you have to remember that they mean something different nowadays at least in England.
Oh I'm sorry, I was referring to the earls of the past :)
There weren't ever any female earls during the reign of the Anglo-saxons, so there was never a need for a word. A female earl is a countess because that was the French word, and the Normans had already taken over by the time those were a thing.
And no, earl isn't derived from jarl, it's a native word. They are related though.
Giggling madly at this first ep. Came for CKII and get to hear Jon do a brilliant sports announcer imitation over that war for england. What a happy start to this. I hope the rest will be as entertaining~ Already looking forward to binge watching this.
Second time watching this series and honestly, I love Jon's excitement and commentary. He's like a Brazillian football commentator on speed.
I've never heard someone be an announcer like it was a football game over historic wars and it be so genuinely entertaining. Subbed.
HOLY SHIT YES YES YES JON I LOVE YOU!
JeefPeef You summarize everyone’s mind oh so well.
THRUST HARDER JON! HARDER! YES YES YESS OH YES JON! GIVE ME IT!
I've been waiting for this series since I started watching your channel many years ago. Woo!
Loved it! Looking forward to seeing the rest of it!
This will be glorious. Ck2 is my favorite game of all time.
You could always transfer the game to EU4 once the time line ends
That is the plan, assuming it goes well.
Vanek26 has Jon confirmed this
Not like, confirmed, but on the Patreoncast he has mentioned he wanted to do that and has the DLC to do it.
Vanek26 well it looks like we might be watching the grand adventures of Cornwall for some time 🎉🎉 unless he dies
Wow.. five years old this series is, but what a find. I've tried the game, watched many so called 'tutorials' and understood nothing. I nearly gave in and then I found this series here. Perhaps this will me to even show my grandchildren the ropes in this game. It was them who got me hooked to gaming after all :-) Thank yoiu so much for showing an entire game from start to finish.
I'm learning the basics of CKII and found this channel/video.
Now i want to watch all the series, this was very fun, you are a great story teller.
I wish I had known your channel much earlier, like at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020 hahah
Wish you the best man.
WE NEED MOAR!
Yes, I've been waiting for this!
CK2 is my all time favorite game, so glad you're finally doing a series
Only just found this series, I'm so glad you're playing this :D This is so exciting
Yes, yes and thrice yes!
Fuck yeah, i'm rewatching the whole series for no bloody reason. Well i enjoy Jon not being any good at this game and it's damn entertaining.
I'm here to relive the legacy of Jon the Fat.
E
I can't stop binge-watching this. I should be working, goddamnit. Great editing, btw
I love that your just a classic let’s player who plays good games and loves them. It’s so relaxing watching your channel dude. Keep up the great work.
Are you going to marry off your parents to your kids yet?
I need to marry my horse to a visiting eunuch first.
Many A True Nerd not until you make glitter hoof your main advisor
Get ready for the flood of accounts with names and pictures of characters from this game!
Bruno Ferreira I hope that's in future episodes. I read the comments while my shiternet loads 720 p 60 fps
It never happened, its Ok.
@@sanctumsomega aww :(
Thank you!!! I’ve been waiting for you to play this for ages!!!!
I like the way you explain what is happening. So much better than a lot of other people who do videos on this type of game.
Mighty mighty cornwall
CITY OF BODMIN! We're legitimate now boys! So thrilled that Cornwall gets the love, and that my hometown is the main city on this game (other than Tintagel, of course)
I just came off quite a long binge of Many A True Nerd's new vegas videos and oh boy is it refreshing to watch him play a game less competently than I do.
I have to say, you narrated that war like it was a football match. Well done! :)
Goooooooaaaaaalllllll!!!
Heck yeah!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA CK2 AND MANYATRUENERD
MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS
*excited squealing*
Coffee Bean same for me, I have more hours in this game then any other.
Excellent video, sir! You have a solid grasp of the game and a knack for explaining things. Well done!
I liked and subscribed to your channel straight away just because of this video. Loads of thanks for sharing. I hope to get this game one day.
Really hoping it's a possibility to say, rebel and form your own Kingdom. Would be cool to see the Kingdom of Cornwall and the Cornish Empire rise, although becoming the King of England and raising an English Empire would be cool as well. Very intrigued.
Yeah you can declare independence. Though he would likely be killed instantly. However now that the king of norway is also the king of england the overall leader is spread thin and hated so it could be an opportunity to take land while every other english lord inevitably fights the king of norway/england. Something else to note is that in the part 2 to this a faction was made inside the country that supports the owner of mercia for the title of king of england. This is also something he can jump on and gain advantage because of.
Marcus Abraham
Yeah, I’ve seen the second episode and since this have started playing CK2 myself. Independence is a lot easier said than done. I took over as Duke of Mercia, declared independence from William the Bastard immediately and got absolutely stomped on. I think at this point I should probably just try working my way into the line of succession for the throne of England.
Yeah, something that Jon touched on in part 2, planting your family inside of a line of succession, is a pretty neat trick if done right. I haven't been playing CK2 for long and have only done one murder plot but the idea of marrying a daughter into a matrilineal marriage with a third born and then killing off one and two isn't exactly implausible.
Marcus Abraham
I haven’t done too much in the way of plotting. Have seen some videos where there’s independence factions, and if the faction wins every member becomes independent. Seems like a surefire way to really cripple a dynasty, assuming you can win the war.
Is he playing as Cornish Separatists?
I was in Cornwall yesterday.. and this just happens to be in my recommended.... I'm now going to sit here and watch this entire series.
In an alternate universe, earl cadoc of Cornwall to King Harold of Norway circa Feb. 1069, "Help, the bloody Normans won't go home."
YES YES YES YES
49:30 If that happens, the Kingdom of England still exists, it's just under the control of the same guy that controls the Kingdom of Norway. It's the same reason that, for example, Queen Elizabeth II is the queen of the kingdoms of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
I've watched this so many times. It's always such a lot of fun!
I love the energy and enthusiasm this fellow has talking about this game
Is this the Killian Experience?
Who is Ian, and why do you want to kill him? Did you mean Kilian?

One of your best series yet! And thats really saying something
Been trying to get into this game for ages, your video has started to have it all make sense! and two lions with a thingy under them is in fact another lion!
I love this game. The future of a whole nation hangs in the balance, and then suddenly you have something happen that brings you back to your little corner of the world as the rest of the country is in chaos lmao
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Jon, I have a quick tip: when you're laying siege to a place with almost no defenders, often due to recently changing hands (like Exeter having only 16 in this part), you can click the little sword icon in the siege screen to assault the holding. This makes it drop much quicker while causing you to take more casualties. Not recommended unless you have very superior numbers, but when they're down to a handful of defenders, it's pretty much instantaneous and you won't really lose anybody.
Never played this game before but I was interested to see and I just love your commentary. You make what could be quite a dry lets play more like a sporting event.
Hi Jon, veteran Ck2 player here. I don't want to backseat you, but you're being a little over cautious with the ambitious trait. It really isn't that big of an issue unless they have a claim/ De jure right to something you own.
Seconded, definitely something to keep an eye out for if there's cause for treasonous behavior like you say, but it's not something to avoid at all costs.
crazypants88 on that note, did he ever click the auto stop plot button?
Justin Rempe It's a bit annoying when with councillors, as ambitious councillors will try to get the council on their side, making things tricky.
He does edit out some stuff and I've only gotten 1/3 of the way through, so I don't know. To be fair, there is some value in not auto-stopping plots as you can imprison plotters and make some money ransoming them or keep them in the dungeons or under house arrest if they're potential troublemakers.
crazypants88 that's true. I have a gut feeling that Jon's lack of perception will be the end of many characters.
My name is Devin. Just listening to the audio of this video caused me a concern.
Rewatching this series. It's still great!
3:17 WOAH WOAH WOAH, BACK UP THERE! The ancient language of Cornwall CAME BACK? How?
No Sons of Abraham, ahdear.
CANT ROB THE JEWS JON. SOA is essential for that one feature xD
Stood corrected when i watched the rest of the video good lad haha
It's a shame though, that money is a real balance breaker for small starts. They really fucked up by not scaling it with the size of your realm. Maybe 50 for a count, 100 for a duke, 300 for a king and 1000 for an emperor.
Been a while since I clicked on a video that quickly.
Just upped my Patreon for this video alone. I've been waiting *years* for this.
My favorite game with my favorite CZcamsr! It’s Christmas early!!
Jon, some quick things to point out that may help you down the line to avoid headaches from repeatedly headbutting your desk in frustration. Brace for incoming text wall:
1. Two people declaring war over the same title will be hostile to each other. This doesn't mean they are at "war" with each other, but it does mean their troops can fight each other--and so they can occupy and unoccupy settlements, as you saw here with Middlesex. Speaking of occupations, if you appoint a leader to your sieging armies, then they will get random events to help or hinder the siege--including nasty ones for you like diseases. These events will not happen; however, if you do not appoint a leader. If you want to speed up the siege, you may do so by assaulting, however that is not recommended unless you have a *minimum* of 10 times the enemy garrison, otherwise you will take massive losses.
2. Army combat is largely based on numbers, and less about troop quality and terrain. AI decision-making is also based on numbers, yours and your allies versus theirs and their allies. Also, when looking at targets, do keep in mind that the troop count listed on the main character screen is misleading from time to time. Levy amounts are largely based on vassal opinion, where higher opinion means more troops. Now, when fighting a defensive war lieges will gain a temporary opinion bonus with all their vassals. This will naturally increase the levy they can now raise, as their vassals have temporary high opinion of their liege, and so will contribute more troops. This bonus also applies to you as well, if you ever get attacked. So, keep that in mind because this can really screw you over if you don't factor it into your decisions!
I could go on for days on all the tricks to this game, but I'll let you figure some out in your shenanigans. Hope these help! :D
Edit: Removed bit that changed with Conclave DLC.
But he's using the Conclave DLC which I think changes how that works (although not completely sure how). In my experience, high stats give the child a high chance of increasing that skill; with Conclave education traits are chosen, but what level depends on the child's learning and possibly the tutor's education trait
He's using Conclave. The Guardian has little to do with the child's development except picking event responses and the child potentially changing culture/religion.
The education is picked at age 12.
the level is based on beneficial vs negative traits for the education + the "intelligence" level of the child. (no intelligence traits are assumed average, where as Dull/imbecile/etc are bad, Shrewd/Quick/Genius are great).
A genius with 2 positive traits and no negatives has an extremely high chance of a level 4 education, a slightly less chance of a level 3 education and a very minor chance of a level 2.
(where as in the base game version, even at level 4 educator you have a 10% chance of getting a completely random education with a completely random level).
Love how Jon thinks Anglo Saxon is alien when it was the main culture in England at the time. English culture only exists when a Norman rules over Anglo Saxons.
So excited for this! Really happy you're finally doing a CK2 series.
John this is the best crusader kings blind start I have ever seen. I wanted to let you know that.
OMG ITS HAPPENED
10:45
PATRIACHY! DAMN THE WHITE MAN PRIVALAGE!
XD that felt dirty
This is very great my dude please do more!! Love you Jon!
I love how Jon is playing Crusader Kings II. Loved the Mass Effect triology you did, love the Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 you did, the Total War series, and now CKII. I know I highly approve. Keep up the great work.
