Tip 13 is also genius for any factions that rise up I had a recent poland run where my character (with 7 sons, 4 ended up being priests - so really just 3) had just died , so my heir did not have much control over the domain. I had a large faction - 37k troops/9 vassals against my 3.5k levies + 2k MaA . I imprisoned the faction leader RIGHT as the war started , and ended the war - resulting in the imprisonment of each vassal that partook in the faction. I was able to strip the land from them, and give it away to new/friendly vassals. I lived to the age of 82.
You're sending gifts? GIFTS!? Are you made of money!? Great tips, Imperor approved! A few notes: As for the Demand payment for Hooks: Watch out as a clan, it decreases Harmony pretty significantly. Having alliances in place does dissuade both internal and external enemies from trying stuff, so might want to consider having them up even when you don't need them at that moment.
The Aniconism tenet actually also allows you to sell blue and purple artefacts as well; as far as I know it's the only way you can sell said artefacts, and can net you a lot of money in an emergency.
That tip about Mongol. I was weirded out when i was waiting for the Mongol empire to arrive but then it barely made an impact. Turns out since i started in the north, Perm I expanded aggressively and was very carefully choosing my hybrid culture and such (ironman mode on) i got my own horse archers and managed to basically somehow not make Mongol Empire come out strong hahaha. Now i am the mongol empire LMAO but there was a side effect, now the threat is from the west. Scandanavian Bastard King with 36k+ strong army is something i cant hold back if he ever declare war with me haha
The Court Physician one is so obvious once you know about it how did I never think of that I guess I automatically assumed they were one of those NPCs that are dead unless you take the decision to hire them through the event
I already liked your channel, but The Warriors reference made me love it. Few thoughts/additions: tips 1 & 20 don't work on console, you can't minimise the window to access your spouse and switch their focus; tip 3, more trouble than it's worth, takes too long to build up any significant money because the vast majorityof people your spymaster gets hooks on simply don't *have* any money to give you, it's better to just focus on upping your passive income in other ways; tip 7, easier said than done, if you're not tribal you'll have to fabricate a claim on the Mongols' first county, by the time you've done that they'll have conquered more lands and probably moved their capital anyway; the kidnap win wars thing only really works early game, by mid game kingdoms and empires have such high scheme resistance it simply doesn't work often enough to make it a reliable strategy; and finally tip 25: best tip ever, role playing instead of min maxing is so much more rewarding. Great video, liked and shared!
If you have too many children taking the pieces of the pie, you could ask/force them to be a monk or give them more lands that you dont want your heir to get or put them in an army that you want to sacrifice and keep losing until they get captured or killed.
I hardly ever do the "search for court physician" decision anymore, at least not at the start, because the candidates are often somewhere between mediocre and inept unless you have very high learning and get the third recommendation of a physician who is reknowned in scholarly circles. Half of the time, the proposed candidates don't even have the learning education focus. Instead I search a wife for one of my knights and sort for high learning. That way I can pick one with good stats who isn't too old and has a personality type that is unlikely to be an agent.
never thought of the spouse shift thing.. seems useful in a pinch. ever since legitimacy, i have just been sending unwanted heirs to disease-ridden areas as wards or hostages
Once you get to King status, you can set your Duchy domains to elective succession. So long as you have majority voting power, you can pass on all titles to your heir without the need for primogeniture.
For a new fresh experience of CK3 and to make it harder without any mechanics change use the: ObfusKate mod. It essentially removes the omnipotent ability of knowing every humans trait name profession and life story. Best small mod I've tried to make the game feel even more immersive.
I have over 1300hrs in this game and I can confidently say that I would have never even thought of most of these tips. Especially #25, how have I never thought of that? But seriously, these are some great tips that I will have to implement in some of my future runs
Tip 26 - Always get Pedagogy & Groomed to Rule. Once you've had all your kids and ready to move onto your heir, reset skill points. You can then reenter your skill points - this will cause Groomed to Rule to trigger for a second time. Free Skill Points twice per lifetime for kids. (Don't do this before you have your last kid, otherwise not all your kids will get the full benefit)

I rarely play as clan so that's a very good call out.
Well that only applies if you have the new dlc. Otherwise just do it.
@@DIFBhi i cant make a separate comment, but how did you do the random de jure on the map you showed at Tip #25?
@@jdmagtibay More game rules is mod that let's you mess with stuff.
The wife tips is just basically "hey honey come help me with these"
Sometimes you need a helping hand.
The wife diplo will really help with keeping vassals in check
Emperor Heinrich how is your rule so stable?
Heinrich - My wife helps in pacifying them...... 😂😂😂😂

I'm glad you enjoy it. I've never played the console version but I have hear a lot about it from you all.

04:32 this trick hasn’t worked for a while; the characters immediately die if they aren’t hired from the event menu.

One of my many mods must be fixing it then since it still works just fine for me

That is a solid move.
Love the video! Your passion for this game is inspiring!
I appreciate that!

Is there any ck3 conversion mods that you like?
Nice, I love these. So many newbie guides but we need better stuff

Good point.
You are right , Top 1 Advanced tip these days would be: just have fun , egomaniac has never been a good trait for a ruler ;)
You can give your kid a city to prevent them from getting titles
