Attempting to Create the Most Powerful Dynasty with 0 Wars 

Come join the discord! A great place to talk about CK3 or games in general! and will hopefully get an Elder Kings 2 Multiplayer set up soon that anyone can join! :) - discord.gg/XZ3sm8kNbp

I bred fecund beautiful children and made a religion that promotes many children. My dynasty was in about 3/4 of the known world. My first character had 40 children.

I wish india got more atention from the devs, as of now it just feels like europe but with complicated names

India is a very overlooked location in ck3, glad to see it get more love

IMO intrigue is even more OP in europe because you can use excommunication and papal shenanigans.

Try an Intrigue Run in Elder Kings, you can use Birthsigns and Patrons to stack Intrigue higher. You could try to reunite the two Skyrim Empires through having one of your descendants inherit both. I love how your character wears an eyepatch but isn't one-eyed. He probably wears it to look more sneaky.

When I watched the previous video, I felt that the concept would be much more flavourful if the character was isolated on an island, so it felt more like they were manipulating from the sidelines rather than meddling with everything around them. So starting in Sri Lanka is absolutely perfect for that vibe.

Imagine a really old decrepit old man literally having tons of grandkids and he is mumbling under his breath like, "So little Susy will marry the King Of France!" And all the grandkids are like, "Mommy, Grandpa is talking to himself again." Im pretty sure this was said already but it's just funny to me.

Your 'Intrigue' video series is one of my favorite ck3 content on youtube

When you use Ruler Designer and forget to change sexuality and left it to random happens to me all the time

I didn't even think of going to other ruler's courts and fabricating hooks on spymasters or physicians, will most definitely be trying that out next time I play!

Hey man really smart to use those borders for the characters. At first I thought they were ugly but it's actually super useful for us viewers who don't have a mouse to scroll over and see each dudes rank.

Your intrigue character being accidentally homosexual reminded me of a time my buddy was playing a game like Crusader Kings III, but a different title. He created his ruler as a bisexual and created a harem of both men and women. I was curious why he did it, since he was normally a little homophobic about things like that. He told me... get this... that he wanted to double his chances of increasing the number of children he produced of his heritage. When I asked him how he planned to impregnate the males in his harem to produce children with his heritage, he suddenly stopped, sat up, blinked a couple of times, and said, "Wow... I really feel dumb right now." I just about peed myself laughing. LOL. :)

In the process of learning how to properly play this game😅 the videos help me so thank you

great video! Cant wait for more Elder Kings

Love these type of videos, thanks

Intrigue is how I get from Count to King within the one lifetime lol

Started playing tall as the King of Bohemia. Getting 60+ gold per month and currently i'm doing this strat, spreading my kids to become King or Queen and gotta say i'm enjoying it so far.

that was a lot of fun to watch for sure

I always love these types of videos!!

Great video. Recently became a sub. Love the content. I liked the cloak and hood look. What mods are you using?

ngl, first video i've ever seen from you, and i saw the title, totally thought this was going to be for The Guild 3. XD

Hi, first time to your channel and this is the second video of yours I've watched so far. I do have a question, these two videos of yours I have watched I am wondering if you are using any mods? The reason I ask is the colors in many of the UI windows seem so bright and vibrant whereas mine without mods, is not. I hope you'll reply, thanks!

coming late to this video, but I would love to see more intrigue based games on this channel :)

please do more elder kings content

how do you get the hood and cloak that spymasters were that makes them look like Palpatine from star wars

Very cool thanks 🙏🏼🖤

Between watching your videos and experimenting myself, I've found that each skill tree in CK3 is op in some way. You just have to play smart.

Sexuality doesn't affect fertility. All it impacts is attraction opinion and the ability to use Seduce and Romance schemes. Technically reduces the chance of kids because you can't roll an event to lay with your spouse but doesn't otherwise slow down the rate of pregnancy.

is there a list of the mods you used?

I cant for the life of me play intrigue and enjoy it but i do love watching others max the play style in an entertaining way

How did you get that black cloak set

I've played so much of this game and holy shit were you unlucky at the start

what mod are you running where the portraits have a blue, green, red, or orange background?

Kanatissa died far too young… I was really looking forward to seeing the shenanigans of her fate.

Is this outfit from mod or from dlc? Only have a base game

Anyone know the mod for the ruler background colors?

in my first game the king of england died leaving only 2 young daughters. i couldnt marry my children to them because i had too many alliances so i intuitively married their aunt and then murdered both of them. the heir of scottland also only had a child daughter so i mareied my heir to her and then murdered him when his dad died. i also married my daughter to the second heir of the heir of the king of france because they would never agree to maternally marry the first heir but the second heir is fine. I then bought a claim on the holy roman empire and called france, england, and my giant daughter, who became a queen of a spanish kingdom after i got first place in a crusade, to war, amassing 44000 troops against the holy roman empire's measly 16000. however, i got lucky and won the war without even fighting a battle because the emperor died from illness shortly after i sieges the capital.

What mods do you youse

Does anybody know if my seduction scheme child becomes king can I somehow reveal his heritage and get the dynasty stuff

I saw the thumbnail and thought Malicos?

@SnapStratey Lol. 🤯 My sister decided to do exact thing a year or two ago but in ck2. And even with the same start place (sri Lanka). Hilarious!! Nonetheless, GL epigon!

What is the mod for the colored backgrounds for the portraits?

Sadly, Paradox have introduced another game mechanic specifically designed to annoy players. Demand Artifact. Demand Artifact. Demand Artifact. Demand Artifact. Demand Artifact. Demand Artifact.

India is by far the best region for intrigue. since some realms even have equal gender inherit laws, you can really go wild with it.

PLEASE DO MORE

Does anyone know how to get that outfit?

Hmm yes lore of ck3 intrigue only chakravarti momentum 100

Please do elder kings 2 tamriel reunification

A gay king who wants to rule the world via his children... yeah this is gonna be... intriguing lol

I'd love to watch this but you need to take speed to keep up with him so no thanks, I'd rather miss this and keep my sobriety.

Would that work if you waited for your daughters to have 1 or 2 kids from your dynasty and then kill the husband to make them marry someone else ?

Power's teets

I wish you would’ve attempted this as an albino Englishman. It would’ve been a bigger challenge and watching the country change its race and shit like that would been crazy..

Can you do the sultunate of sulu in the philippines and unite the whole philippines?

Victoria 3?

Cheese

I just feel the game is too easy when you have the knowhow. He was discovered as the murderer and the other nation didnt invade such a small country?

Intrigue has always been OP in these games.

I kind of found it funny that your first character was a homosexual when the goal was to crank out a bunch of kids. Lol.

Your words lmao...'overthrowen'

parasite the game

The only possessed gay in the village 🤣

The failing on 95% actually ruins this game it's so fucking annoying with the fake rolls

I find my 95% chances fail 50% of the time.....meh :)

What are the blue and gold borders? I want to get that.

You started in Sri Lanka, my home country :D

I have to ask, why marry 3rd in line as opposed to 2nd or 1st? Ty

Could somebody break down to me why matrilineal is key to this strategy?
