Crusader Kings 3 is one of those games I thought I'd never like, but after a thousand hours, it's become my favorite. can't wait to start the Outremer campaign! thanks snap

The Mansa Musa start is really OP considering one of the native religions has all its holy sites in the Empire of Mali.

Having played most of these starts myself, I can vouch for them. One more I'd add is playing in Khotan, which is a ring of oases surrounded by mountains. A great spot for a chill hermit kingdom playthrough where you get mega rich.

so close to 100k awesome to see you still doing so well my friend

There's a character which starts (in the base game) with Zunbilism as a secret faith. It's the only other landed Zunbil ruler, and you almost instantly convert to it.

Love the content bro I just going you last month and can’t get enough of your content

For the Mogyer Migration, you could go to settings and change it to be historical, player only, etc. I know that this means the challenge of the war won't be at the start for Bulgaria and the Mogyers will get rolled by their neighbors, but I just want to point it out because Snap always mentions that this war happens instantly at the start of every game in the 867 start date, which it could if you, again, don't touch the settings.

Cool video. Time to start playing some ck3 again. Thanks for the interesting Ideas. Love your Channel btw. always happy to see new videos :)

It would be actually more historically accurate to start as the brother of the count of Anjou. Since he is the ancestor of Angevin kings, not Geoffrey, and he is pretty good. Playing as him also comes with challenges, as you need to end your brother ASAP before the King takes his lands for being excommunicated, and plus he has 4 personality traits, most of the times 2 of them are considered a Sin in Catholicism, which will make it pretty hard to get pious and request claims. Also if you want to form the duchy of Anjou you will need more counties, which you can get ONLY by fighting insanely strong Normans/English. MOREOVER, you are weaker than your brother, and start off with only one county, while your brother has 2 or 3, and he actually hates you. So I would say play as him is both historically accurate and fun challenge. It took me 100 years of scheming and wars before I could be on the throne of England. Plus you only have a claim on the Duchy of Anjou and not the counties owned by your Brother. So only two ways of getting his lands: either kill him and inherit, or very slowly and costly fabricate claims and conquer, which is nearly impossible considering the fact that the king will end him in the first 5 years of the game.

I have just finished a campaign and was thinking about a new ine so great timing with this video

Hey man! Nice video your my favourite youtuber, Could you please make a video on fun starts in the more bookmarks mod? Thank you, Keep up these great videos!!! Love from Ireland

angevin empire might get some recognition when the new start date releases

Just started watching your channel a month ago, and You revived my love for this game! Thanks! Keep up the good work :)

another hundreds for the first milestone boi, good luck. your ck3 content is always amazing!

well done for 100 thousand subs

Already did Baghatur, Geoffroy, Audr, Erik, Suri, Hurmiz as Zun. They are pretty cool runs

I have had so much fun starting as Erik the Heathen.

If playing Audr make sure to use the RICE mod, it has some fun unique decisions like "Convene Iceland's First Althing" plus an optional struggle for Greenland and Vinland!

Appreciate you suggesting vassals. A lot of players seem terrified to play as a vassal when it's actually some of the most fun

The alans north of the caucases are realyl fun in 876, can pretty rapidly build a kingdom under the Khazars, plus you have the Jewish faith right next to you, so you can create an amazing hybrid culture which if you set it to israelite heritage can combine with every other culture in the game, after you've combined with the radhanite faith you can pretty rapidly combine with Georgia to get their mountain cataphracts and then you can be a tribal kingdom with huge buffs to stewardship and learning, horse archers and mountain cataphracts. Your armies become pretty much unstoppable, and the Khazar's are never really much of a threat at all

The duchy of Manding is preposterous. I started as the king of Ghana and just went straight to take it before making it my capital. By 170 years or so in I could be making 120 gold a month with a stewardship character and that was playing wide, I had almost all of Africa. Massively over powered.

Snap, the goated one, blessed us with a fresh drop

Abd al-Rahman ibn Marwan al-Yiliqi, Emir (Duke) of Batalyaws (Badajoz) going Morzarabic is my fav, pope gold & clan mechanics

Another interesting character in 1066 is Count Eustace of Boulogne in the Duchy of Flanders in northern France. Eustace himself isn’t the main attraction, but his second youngest son, Godfrey, was a major commander of the First Crusade and became the first ruler of the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. Also also just a question. When I started playing CK3 some years ago, I swear I saw screenshots from someone’s game showing a title’s full name on the map; ie Kingdom of England vs just England, Kingdom of Castile instead of just Castile, etc. I can’t find this as an in-game setting but I also can’t find it anywhere as a mod, either on the internet or the steam workshop. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

I have to admit, dwarf fortress conditioned me to see the word "fun" and have an immediate pain response I've played Ghurids once, was insanely fun because I somehow managed to be friends with Tahirids for quite a while: first as a vassal, then as a neighbour, later as a leige. All that despite the fact that I continued to be buddhist (although I created my own faith to allow myself more female rulers). I was playing it a bit too safe and wasn't able to finish the struggle, but I did form Bactria after the struggle was done. That was my first time fighting the mongols, too, which was fun - I even managed to personally capture myself a great husband in one of the battles: Subutai, an actual historical general, has really great stats and traits, we planned a great wedding and became besties \o/ Now need to play this dynasty again, didn't know there was an achievement.

I will if i have ck 3 lol btw nice video like always

this game consumed my life

Please try a tyrranical character run, I'd like to see a CK3 pro do it, I had a custom ruler with every trait possible to help him be tyrranical (obvi not achievement worthy), murder and executing prisoners actually relieved the guy's stress lol, but managed to get him to age 65 from age 16 before he was in turn murdered. I'd love to see if there's an actual tyrant RP route in this game.

Erik III is either THE most fun or the worst depending on the RNG haha

my fav start is karling 1066. i have played more than 10 playthorugh

does anyone have a problem while resuming the game it goes back to steam library?

Hey are willing do the Iceland video start? Im trying to as you sugested to murder till I get man of isles and to elevate it then do all sorts of sheningans. Im just curious how to get best start as Audr as she has 3 son and dunno If i should reroll ironman save to get her 1stborn with decent stat or just make new kid hoping to get eugenics and better education and just kill of my sons or to keep them without marriage. Please help.

"Angevin isn't a formable nation" Technically, it is. If you become a duke of Anjou, you'll have a decision "found a new kingdom", which turns your duchy into a kingdom, and then you'll get a decicion to turn your kingdom into empire. Obviously, you'll need a lot of land or titles for this, but still, it's really fun to do

How do u show mines

Reviving the Egyptian religion is fun

Hey Snap, to celebrate 100k how about you do a Q&A?

Once you hit 100K Subscribers, you should do a full analytics review, like how much money you earned since the start and how many views you got.

Hello boy

LONGUE VIE AU ROYAUME ANGEVIN !

Wrong Anjou

Cmon Talk about Strathclyde

4:21 I started a game with her, for some reason the Pope gave me the claim about Scotland, now I'm the Queen of Scotland, the character who ruled Scotland before me was a sinful woman

Chose the wrong Anjou brother

DAMN IM EARLY

croatia is top

Fix the way you say Byzantine, it's extremely irritating and just wrong
