Starting as a king seems like a fun idea, but is fraught with peril. As strange as it sounds, the best place to start a Crusader Kings 2 game is not as one of the largest powers, but among some of the weaker options. However, a few of these are DLC-only, and for a beginner, I don’t really recommend any of them anyway. The game does have some options for you, including interesting historical bookmarks and the characters who are most relevant and enjoyable in that time period. Even without any of the DLC there are potentially hundreds of starting characters to choose from across a 400 year timespan, before even including non-Christians and 2 additional, pre-1066 start dates. Thanks to Crusader Kings 2’s character-based play, there are plenty of options open to you, from mighty Emperors down to measly provincial Counts and everything in between. However, if you’ve already read it and just can’t wait to dive in (my definite recommendation) then you might be looking for advice on the best place to start. Of course, the advice in that guide is very basic, and I intend to flesh it out with followup articles to help you make your way through a game without complete cluelessness at a later date. It goes over the most basic mechanics that will help you to create a successful first game, from which you can self-learn everything else you need to know. It's not unlike a GM rewarding a really good roleplayer with extra experience in a tabletop game.If you’ve just picked up Crusader Kings 2 and can’t wait to get started, then it’s worth taking a look over my Beginner’s Guide to Crusader Kings 2. The traits, then, aren't just intangible stat modifiers, but helpful personality guidelines. In Crusader Kings 3, playing against your personality will have some potentially dramatic side effects, all the way up to your ruler losing their mind. If your character is a cruel idiot, that might be expressed through events, but you could play that character any way you wanted.
You don't need to just settle for one tree, either.ĭespite being such a big part of Crusader Kings 2, roleplaying was largely optional.
If you pick the martial lifestyle, for instance, you might focus on chivalry, becoming a knightly Gallant, or you can focus more on logistics and strategy. You'll once again be able to pick a lifestyle for your ruler, but this time it unlocks a trio of perk trees that relate to it. While you'll have all these broad concerns with your religion, dynasty and the lands that you control, Crusader Kings 3 promises more of a focus on the individual.
