You didnt mention how if you execute multiple people at once, all of the sounds play at the same time. Meaning if you execute lets say 200 people, you are rewarded with the sweet sound of victory.

CK2 is legitimately the best paradox game, its extremely complicated and simple at the same time, all the characters function as actual people and try to get whats best for them, either by viewing it through the lenses of "more land=more win" or "loyalty=moreland=morewin" and a million different aspects. Its hard to understand, unique to every run, and i have over 3000 hours in it and i can easily win impossible wars and battles, but can just as easily die as a brand new player. Its one of those games where being good and meta doesn't guarantee success, and there is no true meta either. you could go a high intrigue build and join the assassins, but then die horribly because the king discovered one of your plots, or you killed the wrong person and a whole empire is coming for you ass now, you could go with high martial and have a billion troops then die because the economy collapsed, you could focus on money and be extremely rich but then get fucked because the money disappears when a random plague wipes out all the prosperity you have built up over generations. There isn't a single game i have played that comes even close to CK2, not even CK3, and I don't think i will ever stop playing it, and that's not even discussing the modding community which is both extremely diverse and extrodinarally unique, where there are mods that balance things and make it more fun to mods that automatically make every council member a horse, its truly beautiful.
Can confirm after 2k+ hours, ck2 is a meme, combat is something you really only need to worry about learning for MP (otherwise just make retinues and larger ones with better commanders and you're fine)
I once tried to imprison my son who I had given a count title to so I could kill him but he and 90% of my empire revolted against me and to top it all off he gained 30,000 more troops out of nowhere.
The 30k may be an event that some old soldiers joins the rebelion as event troops, how many spam depend on the size and army of the rebel, the same event may happend to you also, is kinda random On the other hand, to get rid of a son you don't want, what you can do is give him a county, excomunicate him, and now you have a reason to imprison him, so no vassal will think is tyrany, and so no one will join him, then you beat him, you take his county back to you, and then you make him a monk, heir dissposed
I would just like to say that the death sounds are not so disturbing in the moment, because executions are explicitly optional and the game does not pressure you into doing them whatsoever. In other words, if it gets to the point where you are willing to go out of your way to execute someone, that person is almost certainly someone whose agonized screams will bring you pleasure.
no clue how this channel is not more popular - your content is amazing. It's simple and not overly edited, yet still manages to keep my attention for multiple rewatches, keep it up! Reminds me a lot of SsethTzeentach's content, and yet still has a unique rewatchable spin on it
Madea period is my favourite period of history month. Also, personally I go for North Korea route becoming an immortal god rulling all the provinces without any vassals cause only the supremem leader has the right to command others while battling his brothers and sisters in some cult of bear to get martial arts skills to the high from which it's literally impossible to get killed. And then you marry Chinese emperor daughter, transfer your game into EU4 and enjoy thу bordergore.
Man now I'm nostalgic for ck2's janky law system all over again. It's not the best thing ever, but 3's implementation feels kinda empty compared to my memories of moving council sliders so i can just barely hold on to the vassals of the growing Slavic empire, shuffling everything around every few years as the situation changes and the attitudes of the council shifts
God, every delivery of every line was so good and explained in such a clear and easy way to understand the game too lmao I wish I had watched this before I learned the game however many years ago, it would have actually been so helpful as well as fun
6:14 funnily enough, the reason why England was so powerful was because they had a very advanced and efficient taxation policy, meaning despite being smaller and less populated than other medieval kingdoms, their kings were usually richer
I tried CK2 but couldn't figure the systems out! CK3 has a much lower barrier to entry so I played that a bunch. This vid definitely convinced me to try CK2 again, it seems to have a lot more depth than CK3.
Honestly, CK2 feels more 'challenging'(also less often Byzantine Sweden), if you like overhauls HIP is a good try, also a inconsequential mod fav of mine is Fitna Fracture
Had this chad Basileus Ioustinianos "the Hammer" the Third as a character once. The dude was of Nordic descent, wroth, yet kind, brave and ambitious. Genius and strong. Stood against the combined might of Shia Persia and Sunni Mongols both declaring Jihad on Jerusalem, outnumbered 3 to 1. He beat them all, gained the Hammer nickname. Died to a frickin' flu 2 years after his triumph. Thankfully the elective succession was implanted, with more than half of the Strategoi in my Philasteros dynasty (I got inspired from the observatory event chain, the name I believe means "Star-Lover"), so the throne passed on to his brother, who was a weak but learned man, named Andronikos. Now, he was actually a rival of Ioustinianos, and yet he got to finish the job his elder brother had started by conquering Mecca and Medina. Even got named the Saint when he re-established the Pentarchy, never joined a single fight, got cucked 4 times, slipped on a wet floor and lived for 40 FRICKIN YEARS as an incapable yet 30-something learning stat man. His niece, the daughter of Ioustinianos (named Anna, just like Anna Komnene) actually rescued him from his mothers' bullying. 3 times the Shia Caliph tried to assasinate him, and each time he failed, and then dropped dead for some reason. To say that this game is awesome is like saying the Sun rises from the east. It is technically true, yes, but it does not do it justice. Nowhere in this world is, or will be, a game with better representation of individualism and consequences than this game.
Stumbled across this channel and absolutely love the style and humor, off I go to binge all the videos on your channel after recommending it to everyone I know.
So, maybe somene else mention this, but the sound for the garot seems to be the one for the garot where its not strangulation but rather the one where the victim is immobilised on a contraption where a screw is slowly turned inside the protruding bone at the back of the neck
Haha! A friend did send me this video, it made my day! I'm happy that you enjoyed the work I put into creating the various SFXs. :) If you want to hear more behind-the-scenes details, you can check out my talk I held a couple of years ago. There is a link with a time stamp to the part about CK II Death SFX ua-cam.com/video/r28oa_FLifA/v-deo.html
Oh wow, the man himself! Your talk was really good, I liked your anecdotes about getting desensitized to it after all the work you put in. It seems we both cherrypicked the two most disturbing sounds to show off lol (the elephant and breaking wheel) I will say though: your work here has a funny knock-on effect for how people the game, since hearing these extreme death sounds adds a bit of humanity to your victims, which is absent from the depersonalized mass-cruelty of EU4 or Stellaris, for example. And that's perfect for crusader kings, since a core theme is that kind of interpersonal conflict. I didn't have enough to say about it in the video, but I think you do a great job with sound design in general, not just for this game but in all your games. I imagine that 90% of that kinda GUI-gameplay sound design is a thankless job, since the only attention it gets is when it's over-the-top like these death sounds, or when something is bad enough to stand out lol. Thanks for dropping by :)
each troop has an advantsge in different terrains. Steppes are better for Mounted Archers. Light infantry is better in deserts. Pikeman are good for mountain etc. so you gotta check the terrain for soldiers.
The best part of CK2 is that at some point just before or after Jade Dragon update, the devs just gave up trying to balance the game and just let players have fun with overpowered mechanics, and how every modders misinterpreted the essence of warrior lodges
Very well edited (I can tell you put a lot of time into it) and voiced video, definitely feeling the SsethTzeentach influence but it's a good formula and I like his videos. Suprised you don't have more subs/views but I'm sure you'll blow up soon.
Another way to keep vassal in line is i usually have one or a few powerful vassal of king or multiple duke that i always non aggresion pact with my spare kid while the rest of my vassal are just one duchy. After that i don't give a fuck if most of my vassal are angry nor do i care if my powerful vassal is not councillor because i always have inbred powerful vassal that always give me army that i can ignore as long i have spare kid to marry. Also i have tendency to imprison wealthy non landed, mayor and bishop so i could revoke and banish them to extract their wealth to my treasury.
I was so genuinely intrigued by the education of a feudal chain of command and how politics influence civil unrest that Crusader kussy hit me like a brick to the temple Good stuff :)
"Wow, Toastoffire. Great moves. Keep it up. Proud of you." Where the hell did you come from dude? You've only been on UA-cam for a year and you have 4k subscribers. But damn, you have what it takes to enter the pantheon of game reviewers. You have a great voice, sense of humor and are good at editing. But for me, the most impressive thing is that you are not biased and freely express your thoughts and jokes. It reminds me of the golden age of UA-cam when everyone could say what they want. Few of them remain today, even among game reviewers. Good luck with your work and thanks to UA-cam Algorithm.
in terms of combat, all u need to know is that pikemen are king. That's literally it, pikemen win against everything if u have enough of em to trigger special combat formations
@@Toastoffire100 retinue pikemen are the most OP thing, though to get pure pikemeon retinue, u gotta be italian. Army composition is a thing in ck2 but it is a bit wonky.... and kinda specific
I was trying to get the Pale Spider bloodline so I executed forty or so people at once The game crashed So instead, I manually clicked each time for every single prisoner unlucky enough to wind up in my dungeon. I think I have the sadist trait now.
You're the only person to actually explain ck2's system pretty good. Thank you so much man i finally understood this stuff and can marry my child to his sibling!
Don't forget that mod exists for this game, pretty well crafted mods. Wanna lead a Chimer resurgence and make Resdayne great again while your best buddy retakes Atmora in the name of Ysgramor, in the same time period than TESO? Well buckle up, for Elder Kings is one of the best mods for CK2 to play in Tamriel, with talented modders that added a fuckton of new mechanics fitting the universe. No seriously, somehow, somewhere, somebody thought that the game had not enough replayability to make this and I'd pay a pint to this person any time as a thank.
@@SilentSakura- I unfortunately did not, my concubines were lustful and fecund. I immediately divorced my wife when she went into menopause, I think she was glad that happened because she escaped my wrath. I’m not a bad person IRL I swear. Also did I mention I was playing as a Strong Brilliant Strategist Viking who excelled at pillaging everything that looks like a settlement in the Mediterranean?
@@Barakeh Yeah on said character I killed a ruler of a duchy to get rid of the alliances, and within a month or two, the heir had made different alliances, so I had the people constituting said alliances assassinated. Alliance marriages are null when one of them is dead
I love ck2 one time I ran out of money to pay my mercenaries and they took over my kingdom leaving me stuck as the duke of west Iceland while they became my leige. I WAS THE KING I TELL YOU ;-;
@@Toastoffire100 it definitely taught me the valuable lesson to always disband your mercenaries BEFORE you go into war debt. unless its a holy order in which case you dont even need to pay them real money its great. no wonder they had so many holy wars back then its WAY cheaper when they dont expect to be paid in anything other than the blood of the infidels
"cosmic", I'm stealing that I haven't even downloaded vanquish yet, I'm working from a backlog lol. The next game IS a little lovecraftian now that I think about it, but that's not the first way I'd describe it :^)
You didnt mention how if you execute multiple people at once, all of the sounds play at the same time. Meaning if you execute lets say 200 people, you are rewarded with the sweet sound of victory.
I never actually used the mass options in the prisoners menu so I didn't even think to try that lol. I just googled it and yeah, music to the ears
It either does that or makes your game crash

I immediately divorced my wife when she went into menopause, I think she was glad that happened because she escaped my wrath. I’m not a bad person IRL I swear. Also did I mention I was playing as a Strong Brilliant Strategist Viking who excelled at pillaging everything that looks like a settlement in the Mediterranean?
@@Barakeh Yeah on said character I killed a ruler of a duchy to get rid of the alliances, and within a month or two, the heir had made different alliances, so I had the people constituting said alliances assassinated. Alliance marriages are null when one of them is dead
yes fam lets have it lad
thanks for the hard work you do!
Thank you for noticing and appreciating 🙏
Back at it again with another banger
This is like SsethTzeentach without the insanity
this is some god damn good stuff
I love ck2 one time I ran out of money to pay my mercenaries and they took over my kingdom leaving me stuck as the duke of west Iceland while they became my leige. I WAS THE KING I TELL YOU ;-;
Machiavelli tried to warn ya man, them mercs can't be trusted
@@Toastoffire100 it definitely taught me the valuable lesson to always disband your mercenaries BEFORE you go into war debt. unless its a holy order in which case you dont even need to pay them real money its great. no wonder they had so many holy wars back then its WAY cheaper when they dont expect to be paid in anything other than the blood of the infidels
you literally sound like sseth and as based u earned my sub hope u grow very big soon !!!
fucking cosmic. love the content M8, have fun with vanquish, or whatever fighting the ocean means
I can only assume lovecraftian shenanigans
"cosmic", I'm stealing that
I haven't even downloaded vanquish yet, I'm working from a backlog lol. The next game IS a little lovecraftian now that I think about it, but that's not the first way I'd describe it :^)
Enjoyed this review despite how old this game is

CKII combats works by courting the favour of the RNG god through human sacrifice and daily prayer
