Getting into CK3 but still not super clear about whats going on after playing through the tutorials. Looking for a playthrough of the game directed somewhat at beginners, kind of like TheRedHawk's EU4 country guides if any of you are familiar. Basically just people playing the game while explaining stuff as if the viewer has never seen the game in their life, I find those a lot more fun and intuitive to understanding the game than those mammoth playlists of videos where every episode takes 30 minutes explaining every button in the diplomacy menu. Just anything that doesn't feel like homework lol. Thanks

hello, I’m fairly new to ck3 and have a bunch of GOT mods installed. I played them with ease last week, but when I recently opened steam I had to update the game. Now everytime I load up with a mod play set my game crashes, I unsubscribed and redownloaded all mods and still crash.

What’s the fix? Is there a certain game version I should run?

Just had a great Ironman save going. Started out as Luxembourg to play tall, but my realm expanded. I formed the Holy Roman Empire, west Slavia, Italia, Prussia. It was a good dynasty too, legendary by 1066.

But then 1200 rolls around and I’m invited on a special crusade to take down the byzantines. As a catholic this had been on my mind for hundreds of years. So we successfully conquer the byzantines! A message comes up at the end asking who should take the title of the Latin empire, and a London and a few counties. I said I would add them to my realm of course!

But as soon as I clicked accept, I then saw that the Latin empire was my characters only realm! I was left with a measly land base and then the Europe spanning HRE goes to my nephew?

It’s on Ironman too so there’s nothing I can do about it…… on to another life!

I'm new to the game and the series as a whole so I'm really confused on how the crusades work. We always have way more troops and it shows that the war score is green so we're winning but then after awhile it says we lost. It's happened like 6 or 7 times now and I'm getting to the point where I'm just gonna tell them they're on their own but when I do that I lose something, I dont remember exactly what it is right now, and then after a month or so they just ask me again so saying no doesn't really do anything.

TLDR: How do Crusades work and why are we losing every time when the war score says we're winning?

Basically title.

What the heck is going on

I’m just giga poor even though my land is quite developed (windmills a plenty, high development in capital) and I’m not making money like I used to

Do I just need a reality check? We’ll never be as rich as we were prior to this patch?

By 1200 (from a 1066 start) I used to have so much gold I didn’t know what to do with it - it would just stack up in the thousands and couldn’t rly spend it on anything

Now I’m in the low hundreds feeling like a peasant

Is this the new normal or have I done something wrong? Appreciate all input, thanks.

I bought a MacBook a couple months ago. I’m curious if it plays well on the M5 chips. Internet is giving vague results. Some say it plays great, others say it doesn’t. I also have a built desktop, but I’m looking for a good game to play on the go.
