Well, fear not!
It’s a pretty rough ride to begin with but you’ll manage easily enough with this guide.
Here’s how to get your dynasty off to a good start in Crusader Kings 3.
Stick with the tutorial
The first step to Crusader Kings 3 success is playing the tutorial.
It’s actually really well explained and shows you the basics of building, conquering, and diplomacy.
Rather, you play through your own story and have different objectives as time goes on.
This means the biggest tip for beginners isrelax and don’t worry.
So what if you’ve been sliced down by enemy empires conspiring against you?
As long as you have an heir, you might continue the story and work your way back up.
Do this for tidbits that’ll explain what certain things are if you forget.
It’s pretty simple and you’ll be using this a lot throughout the game.
You’ll usually be told what affects your traits will have on certain actions.
For example, I had a ‘lustful’ character who became more stressed when turning down romantic advances.
Just like in real life.
Hover over the number to see the specific reasons behind their feelings.
Things that influence opinion range from traits and personality types to family loyalty and monetary gifts.
Improve your realm’s infrastructure
All rulers are mortal.
you might’t stay alive forever, but your realm lives on.
Buildings in your holdings offer permanent upgrades to things like levies, tax income, and siege defence.
This helps a huge amount, since when a leader dies it can be difficult to hold onto control.
