CK3 Best Strategy to Make CRAZY GOLD! - Playing TALL Guide

Amazing video, thanks

come on man u can’t just give yourself 100 stewardship😭

as someone who’s been playing the game since release playing tall doesn’t mean… playing… tall? 😭 i feel like i don’t know anything about this game i’m still learning

bohemia is just far and above the chillest playing tall experience, being able to control the whole duchy with a high stewardship domain limit and the mine, surrounded by mountains in your lil valley. also the czech culture being busted.

If u don't start being 0 years old, no traits, no attributes I consider u to be cheating because this game is far too easy, AI sucks too much.

Love the shoutout to spiff

Of course, this has been patched out long time ago. Fabricating hooks is now more expensive than blackmailing. New strategy please ... ^^

10/10 Editing! 😂👍

Is this still working?

"You'll want a family full of geniuses so you'll want-"
Me: eugenics, incest, and a DVD copy of Gattaca, got it.

When you play Victoria 3 in Crusader Kings

Bruh really said "find some woman in your court and marry IT off..."

Messopotamia is best

If you also want to expand a little bit and have a fun roleplay you can start as brittany and conquer cornwall asap. Ally with west francia and diplomatically conquer england and wales and later on proclaim brittania.
Some of the most fun i had was doing this in MP RP with friends who couldn't believe brittany could be this strong

Watching this video again after a year, definitely one of the best videos on CK3, thank you.

Pagan (Burma) is extremely good for playing tall as well. The special building in the capital makes nice gold once you build it, lots of farmland in the area as well. Additionally, India is just a stone's throw away.

How bout zahumjle county?

Can you play tall in a tirbal government then, seems impossible probably isn't

playing tall SORTED

What I did was start as Austria in 867, which is a count at first but very quickly your liege will become a king so you can create the duchy title. There’s a farmlands tile there + a university. Then I collected a lot of prestige and created a divergent culture with Industrious, Garden Architects, Pacifist, Agrarian. The rest of the stuff I did was what you suggest in your video, also, holding feasts a lot helps with the development of the county. Then I just watched my development skyrocket and in a short while I was earning twice as much as the Byzantine emperor.

Temes Duchy is good in Playing Tall

I recently picked up the game and as soon as I kinda-sorta figured out what I was doing, this was the strategy I instinctually gravitated towards. Maybe it's because I hate going to war so much or maybe it's because I really like to nurture and invest in a manageable number of characters and holdings, but this play style is INFINITELY more enjoyable to me than trying to conquer half a continent for the hell of it.

what do you do while you wait for your buildings to be built?

"Find some woman in your court and marry it off"

Damn

Barley got this game, starting is Ireland and my goal it to become the empire the British isles. Maybe my heir will do this but for now it's martial time

How do you do that editing thing where you can move around the pictures lol

Ugh got excited found a wife with 21 stewardess first off then after marrying her noticed she was chaste looks like I'm putting on a point into fertility chaste....oh and she had quick as well smh

I tried this as Cagliari, conquered Sardinia and made 21 gold per month, but got invaded by some Muslims and was destroyed and lost everything, any tips to prevent this?

Hahaha! The religion of money. Classic beauocracy. 🤣

But how are you able to do all this without being forced to join in a war, since you disbanded your units? Do you just hire mercs?

CK3 content has some of the best quotes: “piety which you can turn straight into gold”

I decided to try this as holland and immediately inherited the hre by election

Holland starter gang

Indulgences aren't supposed to be balanced. They weren't balanced irl

Playing tall is pretty much impossible. You NEED at least a few duchies, to have the abilities to raise a large force and defend yourself against, say, a tyrant liege that wants your lands..

Instructions unclear, became emperor of Earth.

Something I think this video misses is how The increasing development penalty is applied, because at certain points in the game it might make sense to switch to increase taxes until the next Era unlocks because your steward isn't gaining you anything when that penalty reaches max.

I wasted hours on this...do NOT do this. It is absolutely pointless to be a vassal. Peasants uprise against your liege and if you do not support them, your liege surrenders and you lose your land. If you join the fight with the rebels, all your neighbors then jump in a siege all your cities with stacks of troops you cannot defend against while your liege just sits back and watches. He sends nothing. Do NOT play as a vassal.

The extra points at the end of custom char, what to do with them? I can pump Stewardship up to 28 or I can spread them across the board to get all other Skills to "Average." You never say what to do with that.

Bottom half of Cagliari has the silver mine as a special building in the capital which boosts gold per month by a full three, Sardinia is pretty nice for tall play too not to mention you have the option to attempt to take rome

Whenever I try the indulgences faith option, it never works. Aparently I need to control 3 holy sites.

"If you want to make a custom character use checks notes Vespers favorite traits" Cool. Cool, Cool, Cool.

The lunatic trait is helpful for the bonuses provided. But now lunatic has some negative events too.

More random now, and the glass monument event seems a lot less likely to trigger. But more positive events for lunatic aswell.

I sure wish I understood what you did in this video. Despite trying to copy your character setup and starting area, you have buttons I don't. I really want to understand and enjoy this game but I'm 40 hours in an still completely lost.

Norse Asatru is so much more hilariously effective than Catholicism by an order of magnitude. Raiding > Seek Indulgences.

Also when it comes to development, it's capped at 20 for a province in the tribal era so you're much better off just collecting taxes with your steward... especially because raiding also increases development when you use the "capture slaves" pop up option a lot.

Make sure to go Celibate after one or two sons, as well. The last thing you want is for your kingdom to split up at such a critical time.

first time I play this game,I play this so called "tall", I thought this is the normal thing to play lol
