I Broke Royal Court by Playing Tall
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 25. 08. 2024
- Today I play my first game with the NEW Royal Court DLC. I try to see just how tall we can grow with all the new cultural effects. Will I find a way to truly break the game?? You'll have to watch to find out đ

Almost 2 weeks since my last upload đŹ hopefully the added girth in this video will make up for it! Appreciate you guys â€
I love girth.
I love these longform ck3 videos, please keep them up even if the videos take a bit longer

I appreciate the high quality editing it takes to complete these videos. CK3 is a game that really NEEDS edits sometimes since its a longform game. I appreciate your videos and hope to see your channel grow to 10k
I relate to the artefact confusion , when i got my first one was a orange one ( Lowest tier ) , but because of other games i was so happy thinking i got a legendary item , i was very sad when i learn was the crappy one hahahaha
wait what
Grey isn't the worst tier? I can be making even shittier artefacts to give away to people I want to occasionally bully?
Neat

Poor suckers will be repairing those for no benefit.
Idk why the African Court starts off looking so nice when in Europe you're essentially in a plain wooden house
Sandstone / mudstone buildings just generally look better with less effort than wood
@@stoopidapples1596 my court contains many leatherbound books upon pedestals of rich mahogany
Arabic kingdoms at the time were far more advanced than Europe.
@@dbix11thats an american tree, you also have to factor in that africa had kingdoms earlier they just didnt do well in industrial age
Hey Zieley, I would love to see you try to restore Hellenism in one form or another. I've been trying myself for sometime but I've been having quite a bit of difficulty with it. Might make for an interesting playthrough. Love the content :)
start as Napoli Count, make sure you are Roman, Raid... take the Pope... it snowballs from there.
Hey man by coincidence just did that in my first game of the new dlc, what difficulties are you talking about? converting yourself to hellenism or being attacked for it?
If you start Hellenic you can swear fealty to someone strong with religious and title protection, and have a really chill game where you just conquer all the holy sites with nobody able to touch you. If you wanna do it the hard way just be Norse and get the Apostate perk. Should only cost a few hundred piety It's a huge exploit with the new cultures
@@Pedrojerico I was doing it the way of starting out with Hellenism through the character creator. The real difficulties I ran into was the time that it took to convert people, and all the Catholics hating you. I think Derek Shelton has the right idea, just slowly conquer all the holy sites so you can reform the faith. Or as both Derek and Justin suggested, be Norse and just sacrifice enough people to reinstate it outright.
@@iJaceify That's how I did it too, started norse. but it still takes decades to convert each county to hellenism, due to the organized > unreformed conversion debuff and Hellenism being pluralist on top of that, so I reformed the religion and stayed as a vassal of the Byzantine empire until I though I was strong enough to fend off the crusades. You can also try to dismantle the papacy before reforming or becoming independent.
Mali is another really nice country to play for this kind of tall gameplay. They have the Mali gold mines, which are a set of 3 gold mines between two duchies. If you start there you won't need to worry about reducing building costs because you won't have enough ways to get rid of your gold. Each gold mine at level 1 gives 10 gold per month. One of the gold mines is in floodplains and is your starting capital.
Main issue will be getting feudal there I expect. And their culture doesn't have the agriculture trait, but you can reform for that.
mali is like starting in bohemia, playing on easy mode, but fun.
sardinia also has the gold mine and a good starting place for what ever you want.
a fun one is innbruck, in a mountain area, its really cheap and a good place for building op the holy roman empire!
danmark has 2 farm lands, and skÄne has a nice tempel if you go with the pope! danish culture sucks
@zieley I appreciate the high quality editing it takes to complete these videos. CK3 is a game that really NEEDS edits sometimes since its a longform game. I appreciate your videos and hope to see your channel grow to 10k
Cheers Gabriel, thats really nice of you to say đ
@@Zieley CONGRATS ON 10K! Special 10k video dropping soon?
5:18 Just one of the many reasons this channel is going places. That one got me, my guy đđđ
I knew it was sus the second it left my mouth
Love that you recognized how important having women as courtiers is. Having a culture / religion allowing both is such an advantage.
Oh for sure basically doubles your labor pool for starters. And good flexibility for titles.
Your edits are getting better and more funny i had to smile very oftenđ
I tried playing tall with frisia but became HRE emperor by accidentđ€·đ»ââïž
yeah.. happens every single time i swear.
@@doublesalopetoimcre i used that oppertunity to create the Kingdoms of Germany and Lothringia. I revoked the Titles of a few dukes, wenn to war and gave the Titles to the matrilineal married Husbands of my daughters
Same I wanted to remain as the Duke of Anjou but ended up becoming the King of Jerusalem and working towards creating the Empire of Outremer
yeah if you have a great character it's ridicculously easy to become kaiser, but thats knd of the ck vibe aka "i wanted to play tall and now all of europe is under my control"
Thats a typical beginner trap if you start as a vassal in HRE. They run elections on who's gonna be the next emperor and quite often they cast their votes to the weakest vassal. Once you gain the throne and being piss poor, other vassals will jump you and... gg.
Ofcource, you can turn it around but, for a new player its just... fast game over!
This is actually the best and funniest CK3 channel, I've never laughed out loud at a CK3 video in my life. Great stuff man, keep it up!
Court + Natural Primitivism = pure gold.
This game is mental. 1000 hours of gameplay and I didn't know resetting perks was a thing. That will make a big difference to my gameplay. Cheers!
I know what you mean! I still learn a thing or two every video from comments
Iâve got a good strategy Iâve tested out. Not sure if anyone else has done this yet! It goes like this:
1. Start as Viking
2. Raid for fat stacks
3. Do a Viking invasion of a kingdom in Italy/Greece(Rome or Constantinople preferably.) Then you need to promote cultural acceptance with Greeks.
4. DONT convert, DONT adopt local culture. Raid your wealthy neighbors, marry for traits, maintain as many Varangian veterans as possible. Itâs okay to have negative money per month. Raid!
5. Capture the mines.
You might be thinking that this is literally a normal Viking strat. Hereâs where the difference comes. Weâre going to use the new culture system.
6. Once you have enough cultural acceptance with Greeks, form the Greco-Norse culture. Keep all the Byzantine men at arms buffs and keep access to your men at arms. You will have the most powerful men at arms.
7. After you have raided to your hearts content get ready to reform or convert to a religion. If you can, get Hellenism.
8. Now you can reform the Roman Empire, have a cool religion, and have the most powerful military around. Hopefully all is done before the mid game crisis known as the Mongols.
I play with a mod that buffs the Mongols.
Also helps to get the âBy the Swordâ cultural Tenet. Letâs you go on endless holy wars on everyone around you.
Therapist: Wakanda in CK3 isn't real, it can't hurt you
Wakanda in CK3:
I love the little hello there in the beginning
I watched both of your one-county challenge videos today, and the Abyssinia playthrough, I can't believe I've never seen your channel before, thank you for your videos
thanks for watching my man! appreciate cha
i just discovered tall works now lol I played as count Eudes (i'm not a hard start kinda guy) just for fucks, and focused purely on being a peaceful little duke just stacking up Anjou. By the time 1453 rolled threw I had been rocking the most gold and largest army as emperor of france for about 300 years- Favorite part of the play through was Count Eudes Scale Armor of Mercy that got handed down from Eudes all the way to Emperor Savory, surviving the entire play through. Artifacts are dope.
A video from you and SurrealBeliefs in one day! Thanks for the great content, I just started watching and can't stop!
I did not expect to watch this whole video, but damn dude the editing is hilarious and the content is very good. Keep up the good work!
Yeah its longer than I'd typically make, but I'm happy you enjoyed regardless!
Almost An hour long video love itđđ§š
It truly is a blessed day. All hail King Zieley
I know why you chose that culture to play as... chadic language xD
What a coincidence, I just started playing the Sao culture to try out the new achievement goal with them; the one where you need to divert cultures then convert 30counties to that new culture. This tall strategy can help me a lot, thanks.
Really fun to watch episode! :D I love the little meme edits you sneak into the video!
As for culture traditions: You would have been able to break the game even harder if you replaced the City Keepers with the respective castle or temple based equivalent tradition, depending on your building preference I think. And "Communal Lands" is also a really damn strong tradition you could have added later, it boosts development by 30% I think with the only downside being longer construction times (but those are not really important anyway in my opinion) and lower control growth (which is also insignificant for a Tall playstyle).
Looking forward to what you will do next. :) I am hoping for a new "save your disaster game" but I understand there might not be enough material available for you.
Architects and baeaucreats in this are on something else. I'd like to see this continued with uniting Africa or something with this powerbase
Your culture has two traditions for city holdings btw. Incredible for development.
This was eye-opening. This might help me do the Mother of Us All achievement!
I still have that on my to-do list for a video!
Only found you about 2 days ago on youtube, but have been watching a ton of your content. From guides to saving game video's to the rest. Your content is really good and enjoyable. You scored a new subscriber. Keep it up!
Decent video. The new traditions are indeed powerful.
Just played my first couple games with the new system, both as Norse rulers.
One being a tall Iceland build (starting in 1066), mostly because I want the end date achievement and my other campaign started freezing around 1370. constantly, so this time, Iceland only, and I am not spreading my Dynasty. So far I have any been involved in two wars, one being against a peasant faction that took my land from my liege (the King of Norway hasn't been competent since Hardrada), and the second being an independence war.
Could have also mentioned the benefits of being above expected court grandeur, the expected level is based off nation size. (let me know if this was mentioned and I just missed it)
I played a single duchy game and those bonuses are amazing, massive prestige and reknown gains among other things
Really love your music/voice add-ons. Fun.
Yeah, subbed, liked. The edits are really good. You have good taste on the feel. The raid on the subtle child marriage xD
If your culture had fervent temple builders and religious patronage then they would give you 750 prestige, 150, 5 fervor, and 2000 piety whenever you build a temple
This is probably the best CK3 video Iâve seen since royal court. Absolutely insane making buildings for just 16 gold!!! Amazing work man great videođđœ
Nice video with absolutely amazing stats! What about feadal elections law? You will just chill with inheritance-add to all your titles and choose right heir in your small kingdom without losses!)
You can greatly increase the chances of getting the "Athletic" trait when reaching a stress threshold by having the "Whole of Body" lifestyle trait. Having the "Lustful" personality trait on the other hand almost guarantees it, because of how the events are grouped together in the script.
whoa i did not know this, may come in handy for future games. Cheers!
while some of the traditions are nice, it took you like 150 years to get your capitol to 20 development, same thing can be done with a few points in Learning and Stewardship lifestyle trees and a high level steward council but in a much shorter time span. Farmlands and floodplains are few and far between, mountain based culture traits are much more OP.
Even if they are OP, Mountains themselves are not... They're some of the worst terrain for economic buildings, and development.
Soy arab and italian vs chad armenian and bosnian
"Your leaders are just... taller than everyone else?" -Dib, Invader Zim
would love to see this finished to max buildings and all innovations!
Nice! I did a game as Egyptian culture, with the agrarian trait, in Baghdad, and some other nearby provinces, which is also flood plains and has the build special building in the game, the House of Wisdom.
I was looking into the Egyptian culture when trying to pick who to play as for this video, they have some amazing traditions as well
I was just watching one of your other videos when I saw this appear in my sub box! Can't wait to see what you do in this video and always keep up the good work my dude. â€
Your stuff is amazing
thank you a
In my last play as the kingdom of portugal, i conquested iberia, created the capitalist religion and chose lay clergy + temporal head of faith, and at the end i was earning almost infinite money because playing tall and because i abducted the heir of the biggest kingdom, demanded conversion, repeated, and so there was a lot of people giving money for basically nothing, everybody wins!
Agrarian is a stupidly generous tradition considering that all the other terrain types (except for oases) are either at ground level or in the negative when it comes to development bonuses. Its increase to man at arms should also apply to their monthly salaries, not just the one-off penalty of hiring cost which is laughably negligible considering one can raise farmlands in floodplains/farmlands.
Yes, I'm a bit salty, since the culture I like playing is stationed in mountains and doesn't even start with a tradition negating the mountainous terrain development mallus.
27:23 -69% for 69 gold = double noice
Hey great video man. Donât get too burned out though. Love the content hopefully Iâll see more during this dlc
When you kill both your sons, and a grandson, only to realize it was pointless.
Been having a lot of fun playing this DLC. This video was absolutely insane, can't believe how cheap some of those buildings were! Makes me really wanna try making a new game where I play tall.
I love the long videos
Playing tall is fun. Taking up the Dutch polder tradition will also help when on flood plains. Of course you go on a Varangian adventure for that.
What a great job. We appreciate it
you have the most calming voice of any youtuber I enjoy watching
Nice to see a video, Iâve been playing as the king of Burgundy with a hybrid culture of Occiatan and cispian
Soo satisfying to watch all the numbers go down and the percentages add up lol
100% I want to push it lower
For the sequences where you want to show building construction queues for all the holding like at 36:04 , click the little scroll icon just under your domain size/limit numbers. its a very useful tool.
the Runescape references in the start were awesome.
ck3 legend is back! and the memes, missed those haha
I will always like when Obi Wan says hi
Zieley out there constructing Wakanda.
Bohemia is the most op tall country in the world. It is because of several things:
1) You get the cultural tradition "industrious" from the get-go, that gives you +25 development every time you finish a building (also replacing counts). You can grind the development and get 100 dev in your capital in max. 100 years. You can get ahead in research and just keep on upgrading your buildings. That way you will have 100 dev. in any province of your main duchy of bohemia within 200 years. On Top you get ahead of time in research, the first time I finished all research like 25 years before next age could spawn. After that I finished all research 100y before the next age could spawn.
2) You have one of the best duchies in game with 7 counties, one mine, capital duchy with 6 holdings, 2 more provinces with 6 holdings and a pretty small de jure kingdom. If you make Moravia part of your de-jure kingdom, you can hold these two duchies or give your heir the duchy of Moravia. It is important to have a small kingdom, because if you hold all titles yourself or give parts of it to your heir, your kingdom is save from factions. If you form Empires, you just need to have a strong main kingdom, give the other kingdoms to whoever you like. You alone will be stronger than all of them together.
3) Because of being ahead of time in research, you will have the best man-at-arms units at any time, will be able to field the biggest amount of all countries, because no country can come close to a player in research. After 200 years you will have 8k man-at-arms with round about 40 knights and like 30-40k levies. The downside is, have less titles for a knights breeding farm, so I was always short of knights and was missing 5-10 knights quite often (to be fair, i quickle added the cultural tradition, where just guys with 12 or more prowess could become knights. Or and yes, this tradition reduces your levies by 25 percent, but I still had 35-40k levies with just bohemia and half of de-jure part of poland. But levies doesn't matter, because your 8k m-a-a and 30-40 knights will shred all armies.
To be fair, India could be much stronger, because you get the elephant building in jungles, that give you extra knights, with what it is possible to field 70-100 knights after 100 years, but on a much bigger area.
32:00 it actually matters, if your court is in top then you get to hire courtiers of different faiths and culture, not sure how it works, but it's super crazy to pick up the best traits and marry them with whoever you want them to. The court grandeur goes up quite fast if you pump up everything to 4/5, events will push it up and down so you might need 1-2 of 5/5. exotic food might cause some health issues on maximum, like getting gout ridden and making courtiers fat, also the 4/5 to 5/5 is actually costing too much for almost nothing.
39:00 ahaha, those knights look sooo bad, do you even marry your courtiers? some of them were like 5-7 prowess, you could easily get better ones, it's almost bad that you got 16, they will just die and your court gets empty and baby vassals xD
47:00 you can select neutral focus for your kids just don't do opposite focus, normally it's 50-50 with any guardian, and around 40-60 without guardian or without focus, but the maximum is around 66% yearly to pick up 2 points or 0. these points go randomly to any 5 but usually to kids or guardians focus.
genius guardians are far better than others (there are some traditions that can make military traits to be inherited or guardians to be more effective but still) . you even got court tutors and other courtiers who you can use full time teaching random kids. the levels are 0-7-11-15 points to reach (aside base) for 1-2-3-4 star education, and the events are better too. but honestly 3 perks in kin are worth it, there is 10% fertility and then 2nd perk is better education then spouse care which is less childbirth deaths and health buff. Usually my genius girls die to that, and when I picked that up, it almost paid itself, I got the next renown level almost right away. Yesterday I checked, I had 9 points from the base, and still got lvl 4 education for a vassal kid, which is crazy. There is also a +30 marriage acceptance, which might be the best thing to pick up first and go to 200 dynasty members (maximum that gives renown) and make a kingdom for them, release as independent and the renown flows in then, no management needed, they will marry all around.
is kin better than blood for general gameplay? i figure one of the two is the best in the game. though with kin and large dynasties i tend to have insane claimant faction problems, if literally any claimant exists vassals stop at nothing to screw over the player
The Czechâs start with industrialize and u can replace buildings for the 25 development. very easy to get to 100 development
You played in Chad. What else should we expect
Great video and love the little knight
Well your hopes certainly got true coz i trulllllly enjoyed it !
don't think i didn't notice the Obi-wan "hello there" in the beginning of the video
30:10
Dude really wrote a book about books
đ
New favorite CK3 channel!!
POG
0:00 âHello thereâ
Iâm bummed that Xbox doesnât have royal court. Iâm building a pc just to play this game in all of its glory lol. I love it. Canât believe I just now discovered it.
I love the RuneScape music throughout the video đ
Damn he found ~Wakand
48:03 gets a shitty spear, dies immediately out of cringe
Great video! I'm still learning the game, I find myself constantly stuck not knowing what to do hehe. Like how do I take back domains, how do I earn prestige if it's really low and not rising. I have watched some of your videos now and they have been super helpful! :D So thanks so much for that.
One thing that bothered me a bit in this video, is that the sound of your mic is quite distorted, so we can hear static or like a noise every time you speak (in the background). :)
loved the jojo references
I really love playing as Pegu and then making Pagan yourself but with the objectively superior Ari religion as you get 3 holy sites in your de jure kingdom and high dev. And you can get Jungle Dwellers for 2k prestige which mitigates the fact that CK3 terrain modifiers just suck and there arenât nearly enough flood plains and farmlands lol
It's so hard to restrain myself from conquering.
5-speed Benny Hill Stack Chasing is the new meta
Keep up these great videos. Aldo i wish you would not skip soo soon from 1 to 4 counties. What have you done during that time, which tech you developed and why. What did you do with your spouce? Managment or Chilvalry or any other support or just "assist ruler" ? So many questions. Only at 9.15 minutes i see you developed the learning lifestyle very much, almost 100 years ingame have passed then. So, you did only the learning lifestyle, or did you also do some other perks?
ps: first try; defeated by neigbourg on th eleft very early ingame. No chance to build up any extra forces. So, how do you beat that?
Great work mate. Love seeing all your videos â„ïž
Great vid, the sound issues rly fucks with me
47:12 the Editor is gold
I went and tried your idea with Kingdom of Mann and the Isles and it. was. insane.
at 36:20 I cant believe you used that movement!! Its so good!!!
it really is!
Just realized you have under 10k subs, bro your decently entratining keep the good stuff up.
I just started a Hausan game a few days ago. Funny that you just made a video on them.
I'm trying to create a dynasty of possessed kings, spreading Bori across the African continent.
Maybe a fun idea for you too for a future video :D
27:20 69% off to the cost of 69 gold.....NICE
well... all these commercials in this vid is definietly broken
Amazing edits! Made me laugh a lot.
Your videos are cool enough, plus your editing is godlike
Well thats nicer than my Bohemia attempt
you're editing is getting better, ik how cumbersome longer edits can be. I appreciate the effort you put into the vid man. Also; there's a crackling noise behind your mic because of how high the gain is? is that because you speak soft and have it cranked to catch your voice? if so maybe try dubbing over the audio in post so you don't have to speak so softly? just a thought. I love watching your vids! keep it up!
Thanks man. The noises are from my cpu and case fans which go into quintuple overdrive when I'm deep into a CK game. Trying to work on a solution for it though
@@Zieley AHHHH i see, you can use moving blankets (the thick kind) and put it over your desk and it will muffle the sounds just make sure your computer can breathe.
Uh, that's actually the Sword Art Online culture thankyouverymuch.
Here we go!
SAO, sword art online xD Name a few kids Kirito xD
I play as Jarl Dyre, again. They changed a few things and it's so confusing. Mainly it starts off with you being Sigurdr and not Oskyldr, and your father has around 3-4k army. So it will fluctuate a lot who is the house head. Which makes him pick up one of the norse perks for the family and if you don't hurry then the second too. The second line is okay, more prestige from wars or something, but since is a factorial increase, it will be slower to reach all the other ones. Also not sure if it was a bug or why, but I started it and I swapped houses somehow and my firstborn took the lands with a different house and a few kids so that run was ruined. You can restore inheritance and legitimize yourself if you get the house head but somehow I ended up as a bastard founder (I guess you inherit if your father dies and that blocks further inheritance) so it's a bit shaky start. Had to redo it as it was an update since and didn't wanted to mess around with the suboptimal heirs and 2 houses fighting.
I was swapping for the Magyar culture, as it's a 4 county culture, with a single duchy that is a pseudo kingdom (yeah it's giving you the title of kingdom but it's not a kingdom), I did the lvl 4 prestige, Kiev as a capital then move to yedisan and make your vassals convert to local tradition means all norse converts both faith and religion, it was intended to go Russian, Slovaskian pravda but you can do Magyar, taltosist too, just get all norse vassals. The development in Kiev is crazy, and easily goes up to 20-30 if pushed, and also helps with the research, around 1000 should be done easily. First I wanted to pick up a 7k tradition, and I didn't realize diverging is so good, but then I found out that I can divorcé my wife over and over for 1200 prestige gain which is kind of crazy exploit. I looked at traditions and the best ones seem to be industrialist, horse trainers (not the same as horse owners but stacks nicely with cheaper horse archers and cheaper maintenance). Then you could choose either hills or wetland (ruthenia/chernigov is actually one of the first cities and it's all wetland but almost nowhere else in europe). There are other good ones like more often holding feasts and hunt or military buffs, so much good ones to choose from. One interesting one is going for culture merge debuffs, for 0.3 control increase, which is actually good so others won't take your culture or merge it if you don't want to. The other exploit is to marry the northman army heir then kill him to inherit like 600 maa for them, they even retain a bit of special units. They knock out some weak vassals from their lands, they normally target ukraine, so this isn't possible elsewhere, and fighting them is not the best.
Nice video Caesar!
âFBI open upâ đđđ
Did something similar with holland, but with another subgoal. Have to say, it's complete insane in every aspect.
Zieley post... the drought has ended
Can you make a video about the cultural tradition Practiced Pirates? While sure you can start off as Vikings, you lose the ability to raid when you reform your religion and become feudal. From what I know it let's you continue to raid as feudal and organized religion, every interesting opportunities.
Look at that GIRTH (video length)đ
