This is the only guide that eases you into ck2 with some definite first actions. You've got a talent for turning a mass of information into tiny steps. I think I can do this!
I have had CKII sitting in my steam library for almost two years, but every attempt at playing ended in total confusion and failure because of my impatience. Thanks to your video, I can finally enjoy CKII as much as I enjoyed EUIV and HOI4. Thank you!
Nice job, best condensed tutorial of CK2 I have watched. Thanks for talking clearly and slowly! I find that to be rare; most others tend to talk very fast while conveying too much disjointed info.
This is the best tutorial for this game I've watched. Clear and concise, and much better than those other dudes who try to explain things to me using colloquial language and too many jokes. The humor in this was real subtle with you pronouncing the names for the different counties
Very good tutorial man, thanks. I like that you did it by just playing the game and explaining the major features. I've seen other videos where they're going down the list of every little button/feature in the game and explaining them; it's really not necessary to a new player and is just too much information and can be confusing. Your approach is much better brah.
Just to reiterate what everyone else has said so far, this tutorial is excellent. Went from starting the game earlier today with absolutely no clue as to what was going on. Watched this video 30 minutes later, and I've just sat down and played continuously for about 6 hours.
Thank you, it takes hours to watch some folk's tutorials and by the time I am done I am usually burned out and don't want to play anymore. This is nice and quick.
Thanks a lot for this quick tutorial. I was struggling with this game but wanted to somehow get into it. You have clearly explained the basics in a manner much better than the game's tutorial. I will try your tips out tonight. Thanks!
Thanks for the vid, it was perfect in helping me start. Clear, concise and just the right amount of information to get me going without boring me with too many specifics.
Only discovered this game recently and it has been a struggle to find decent tutorials for beginners. This was a really great introduction to the game, thank you.
Great guide. Picked up the game a few days ago, felt lost with an hour in the in-game tutorial, but here you go, getting me on the right track in a third of the time.
This the type of tutorial ive been looking for, other youtubers should learn from you instead of ramblings unnecessary nonsense things in their videos...
Probably the best tutorial i've watched in trying to grasp why the game has such a dedicated following. Can't say it's my sort of thing but good to know the basics behind it. Thanks
Yes, you are, hands down, the most articulate of the ck2 tutorial guys (I wouldn't even describe them as articulate). It would be great if you made advanced vids, just sayin.
Thank you very much. I was finally able to play the game thanks to this video and I'm loving it. A good and clarifying tutorial like this is something rare to find for Paradox games.
You are AMAZING at delivering a great beginner tutorial. Kudos to you for finding a natural flow to demonstrate how the game works in a realistic organic way. You bounced around but I was able to follow everything logically. You’ve definitely inspired me to give this game another shot.
My man, you did the impossible. Not even a Saint's patience could get me through this game's tutorial, it was just a mess of menus and the hints were either too generic and vague or too detailed but on the wrong thing. Thank you so so so much, I finally get what's going on
Ck2 is so in depth - he didn't even get to talk about most of the game😂😂 Still this is one of the best tutorials out there (no idea why I watched it as I already know how to play the game)
Yeah this is probably the best short tutorial on CK2 that I have found so far. Thanks for this. I found that I learned more things from watching than I had already learned thus far. I second the notion you should make more advanced tuts or maybe even do a "Let's Play CK2 -- Emperor of the WORLD" edition where its more like a series and you show us how to do just that from scratch, decision by decision. I guess that's not the easiest thing in the world to do in a game like this, though lol
Fantastic job - many thanks. Cleared up a lot of little things I still wasn't sure about. I had my first successful plot yesterday - I started right there in noobtown but Brian's stats were so much better than his father's (I mean the king was useless), so I married Brian to a fiery intelligent ambitious welsh lass and before you can say "Long live the king" I had a little "hunting" accident. I am now ruling happily as Brian.
I was gonna purchase this game a few months ago after trying the demo, so glad I didn't because now it's free. Also a very helpful video to follow for a peasant beginner.
wow I've seen a few tutorials now and this is easily by far the most clear one for someone like me whos brain starts to hurt when I try to play this mess lol. When playing myself the who council thing confused me because I could only click on one of their duties at a time and I couldn't tell if they were doing anything. Because they weren't. I didn't realize you had to click the map afterwards, which makes a lot of sense. I have yet to play a game that makes me feel as intellectually inadequate as this one lol.
Very nice tutorial! I myself have played for hundeds if not thousands of hours over the years, but looked for tutorial for friends who asked, and this one shines. Nicely done! I'd add to explaining to traits that they do affect how AI plays those charecters, as in lustful charecter is more likely sleep around etc... Or I'm not sure, it's prob more fun to find it out oneself
This tutorial is really good, I've put in quiet a few hours into the game and always felt like I was doing something wrong as if I should be doing more within all the years gone past, but it's just normal for the game to progress that way.
The most useful guide out of all the useless videos I have watched you explain things very well and you don’t say useless things only stuff that is necessary I thank you very much
this game was added to my steam library for free a few weeks ago, funny thing is I'm more of an Action/Adventure player and wouldn't really consider buying such a game but since I got it anyway and now I've found your tutorial I think I might like it! so thanks and keep up the good videos 😊
Very instructional tutorial btrekkie and thanks for the calmly explaining. CK2 is indeed a complex game and so much things to concentrate on. Keep up your good work and like to see more vids :D
thx buddy, just downloaded it and i was lost in space, sort of speak. even the tutorial felt like it requires an IQ OVER 9000! you made it look simple and interesting, and now i will play as Byzantium, reform the TRUE Roman Empire and rule with an iron fist! cheers
I hate to ruin it, but by default, it's not actually text-to-speech; I manually entered in the subtitles. On desktop, you can switch to the auto-generated subtitles by clicking the settings button, then "Subtitles / CC," then "English (auto-generated)." It's entertaining to see how it reacts to all of the proper nouns.
Thanks for starting immediately and stating nothing but facts instead of rambling about random shit for 8 hours and demonstrating you have no clue what you're talking about like 90% of "how tos" these days.

This was infinitely better than the in-game tutorial
Kaiser Groog in game tutorial explained nothing
everything is better than in-game tutorials
oh god my head hurts from so much information totally gonna play this game :)
@@jacktheripper5112 Is this same Jack from PSN?
the in game tutorial literally just tells you how to control the camera and absolute fuck all else
"Now you can see the troop numbers going down because people are dying."
Just the way he says it is fucking hilarious to me good god.
Dimitri same lmaooooo
Dozens of tutorial videos later, I finally find one that ACTUALLY teaches you the basics.
This is the only guide that eases you into ck2 with some definite first actions. You've got a talent for turning a mass of information into tiny steps. I think I can do this!

I have watched easily over 2 hours of tutorials and I have learned more from 10 min of this video than all those combined. Good bloody Job!
Thank You! I watched hours of tutorials so far and learned nothing, but yours 20 minutes videos helped me a lot!
The game is free right now on steam, just got ck2. Great tutorial my dude
@@ericwoods6286 ikr. I'm with you on this my dude
@@ericwoods6286 chill out my dude
Deucey D why?
This tutorial should be in the game. Amazing work!
paradox should hire him, he has good voice, and paradox can pay him big bucks for it haha
Nice job, best condensed tutorial of CK2 I have watched. Thanks for talking clearly and slowly! I find that to be rare; most others tend to talk very fast while conveying too much disjointed info.
blackHUSK Ya, Arumba's playlist is zzztown.
very true
You don't know how good your tutorial is compared to others.
Thank you. This was super helpful. I'm amazed such a complex game doesn't have a better walkthrough.
*When you're an advanced player and still learn something new* Outstanding job!!!!!!!!!
Oh and you earned a new subscriber!
how did you not know this
@@cometive6075 amogus
A Crusader Kings tutorial that doesn't give me a migraine. Wonderful!
Thanks for making a tutorial in a reasonable amount of time instead of the shitty hour+ videos
This is the best tutorial for this game I've watched. Clear and concise, and much better than those other dudes who try to explain things to me using colloquial language and too many jokes. The humor in this was real subtle with you pronouncing the names for the different counties
This BY FAR is the best tutorial out there for CK2.
This is the tutorial I needed. I found myself being overwhelmed with information within the first 10 minutes of every other tutorial. Thank you
Very good tutorial man, thanks. I like that you did it by just playing the game and explaining the major features.

Significantly more helpful than the in game tutorial. Thanks so much!
I played the ingame tutorial and like five other youtube tutorials, and yours was definitely the best at showing how to play the game.
Only discovered this game recently and it has been a struggle to find decent tutorials for beginners. This was a really great introduction to the game, thank you.
If only the official tutorial were this great! That's earned you a subscriber!
Thanks so much! This was the best CK2 tutorial I have seen.
You are the greatness person to live you made a game I've owned for year playable but explaining it to me in a way I can understand thank you
Great guide. Picked up the game a few days ago, felt lost with an hour in the in-game tutorial, but here you go, getting me on the right track in a third of the time.
This the type of tutorial ive been looking for, other youtubers should learn from you instead of ramblings unnecessary nonsense things in their videos...
Goes to show how much navel gazing and nerd hipsterism is in the grand strat community tbh
He should do one of these for every DLC :)
Javier Sánchez it'll take years for him to finish
definately
lol
True
once you understand the basics the DLCs should be easily understandable. the game is pretty easy to grasp
A tutorial thats not trash and filled with ums and ahs. Thank you.
Probably the best tutorial i've watched in trying to grasp why the game has such a dedicated following. Can't say it's my sort of thing but good to know the basics behind it. Thanks
Great job! I was worried if I could ever learn to play CK2 and now I feel very confident. Thanks!
Finally a tutorial that doesn't try to be funny and actually gets on with the job, cheers.
Please make an advanced tutorial, you explain things very well.
I second that
Yes, you are, hands down, the most articulate of the ck2 tutorial guys (I wouldn't even describe them as articulate). It would be great if you made advanced vids, just sayin.
this is a quick no BS guide to jumpstart your empire
Yep, best starter guide I've seen.
Good job! Great explanation
Best beginners's tutorial I've watched so far.
This was an extremely concise and easy to follow tutorial and very well explained, thank you.
thank you so much bro, really help for noob. i played EU4 before and CK II really different, now i know the difference and the fun part of this game
Thank you very much. I was finally able to play the game thanks to this video and I'm loving it. A good and clarifying tutorial like this is something rare to find for Paradox games.

Still this is one of the best tutorials out there
(no idea why I watched it as I already know how to play the game)
If I was a game designer I would absolutely hire you to do official tutorials. You rock!
your voice is so calming and the video is really concise 10/10 keep it up proud of ya
Very well put together video and better then most that I was watching. Thanks for the info!
W O W. Probably the best basic tutorial I've seen of CK2 and just in 20 minutes. Respect
Yeah this is probably the best short tutorial on CK2 that I have found so far. Thanks for this. I found that I learned more things from watching than I had already learned thus far.

Well done, nice and compact tutorial with relevant information, but my god, as an Irish person your pronunciation killed me!!
Haha, perhaps you could enlighten me?
Ha well its pronounced os-rig not os-rage but im just teasing. Thanks for this, appreciate the time and effort!
This is the best tutorial of CK2 in the internet
thanks very much for this. I started the game and felt completely overwhelmed but now at least how to get started.
Thank you. Tutorial has made me confident in returning to the game after a poor start!
I was gonna purchase this game a few months ago after trying the demo, so glad I didn't because now it's free. Also a very helpful video to follow for a peasant beginner.
How is it free?
Dude, i was struggeling so hard with this game, Thank you for this great guide. Ps.. You have a great tutorial voice!

This tutorial is really good, I've put in quiet a few hours into the game and always felt like I was doing something wrong as if I should be doing more within all the years gone past, but it's just normal for the game to progress that way.
The most useful guide out of all the useless videos I have watched you explain things very well and you don’t say useless things only stuff that is necessary I thank you very much
The best CKII tutorial I've seen! You have my subscription!
thank you, this was the intro that has actually made sense of the game.
this game was added to my steam library for free a few weeks ago, funny thing is I'm more of an Action/Adventure player and wouldn't really consider buying such a game but since I got it anyway and now I've found your tutorial I think I might like it! so thanks and keep up the good videos 😊
The game is overwhelming , your tutorial helps a lot !
Thank you for this. Been banging my head against this game for ages, and this is very helpful.
Now i can play CK2 thanks for this super easy tutorial
Dude you are an excellent trainer. If you are not already making a living using this skill you should start.
Very instructional tutorial btrekkie and thanks for the calmly explaining. CK2 is indeed a complex game and so much things to concentrate on. Keep up your good work and like to see more vids :D
Very good tutorial :) This is sure one of the most hardest Strategy games I've played so far. :)
Thanks for a clear and concise basic tutorial for the game!
Very helpful! Going to try my first playthrough as Ireland then watch you're other tutorial and try another one!
Thank you! =D
Very good tutorial, good tone and informative.
This was amazing! I just got this game and was very confused by the tutorial!
simple, fairly recent, and not over explanatory
Great tutorial! Explained deeply , so we'll I can understand easily. You even thought me how to start a game !
thanks to your video I finally understand this game a bit, thanks!
thank you very much for this great quick introduction to ck2. and also thanks a lot for gameranx tutroial link. really great reading :)
This is a really fantastic tutorial.
thx buddy, just downloaded it and i was lost in space, sort of speak. even the tutorial felt like it requires an IQ OVER 9000! you made it look simple and interesting, and now i will play as Byzantium, reform the TRUE Roman Empire and rule with an iron fist!
cheers
When he starts pronouncing the names of the territories I just start gigglin'.
very nice. Trying to get this game down and you explained the basic nicely.
Thank you! I've been searching for the right tutorial video and this was it!
Pro tip: turn the speed to 2x. Learn CK2 in 10 minutes!
Thanks to you I feel ready to play the game. The in-game tutorial was awful but this really explained the basics very well.
this is the best video on this game I've watched
Really great! I finally understand some stuff that broke my neck a couple of times :D
The text-to-speech engine used for the voice in this video is AMAZING!
I hate to ruin it, but by default, it's not actually text-to-speech; I manually entered in the subtitles. On desktop, you can switch to the auto-generated subtitles by clicking the settings button, then "Subtitles / CC," then "English (auto-generated)." It's entertaining to see how it reacts to all of the proper nouns.
ikr
LOL
F
,,,f
Finally a tutorial with a subtitle
Really fantastic little guide, thank you!
I was the 6K like, well deserved, great video!
This was the most helpfull tutorials for CK2! Thanks!
nicely done, helped me out a lot must say you are very good at explaining things!
Awesome, was just looking for a guide like that. Thank you :)
Actually, i started as Leix of Ireland and i've made myself a duke on ironman
Thank you! I'm lost. Going to start the video now.
Thanks for starting immediately and stating nothing but facts instead of rambling about random shit for 8 hours and demonstrating you have no clue what you're talking about like 90% of "how tos" these days.
This is so clear and helpful. Thank you.
If there's one thing Paradox really sucks at, it's tutorials for truly hideous UI. This was really helpful since I was tortured with what to do.
Such a shame that you did only three tutorials. I would follow you!
