Ok but real talk huge props to paradox for actually making a decent tutorial. I still get nightmares from the old hoi4 tutorial's approach of "here's a link to the wiki, god help you"

[blueskye]

The most helpful tips I found on Youtube. I am 30+ hours in, and I now only see the education focus button! May you be crowned Emperor fine sir!

[wadehansn]

That disinherit button literally just solved all of my problems. Time to reroll for the sixteenth time now and try to form a kingdom then hold on to more than a single county when my ruler dies.

[Oscar-vvdn]

I'm so pissed off that I'm at 50 hours and only now find out that there is an education focus...

[Goncourt]

That actually clarified a lot of things I had questions on but kept dying before I could get through it. Thank you Quarbit, and yes Mid-war allies drove me insane with norse invaders.

[wilyape]

Thank you for telling me about the education focus.

avoid disinheriting if possible - just raise your army, split it into a tiny force with all the knights as people you would prefer were dead, and send them on a suicide mission to "aid" allies or raid as knights/champions. also, while on the subject, forbid your important characters from becoming knights/champions! If you know or suspect you will die soon and children wont get old enough to die gloriously, then disinherit. You will actually earn some renown just for having them live awhile, so it'll balance out in the end or even end up as a net gain. Also - you can change your commander it you would prefer your dude stays home to hold feasts to relieve stress or would rather a more expendable character with high martial tries to gain those lovely commander perks.

Another few notes on the education: You are right that the skill of the resulting perk is based on the skill of the educator, but its also based on the time spent with that focus, so if you are going to change it, its best to do it early. You can also use the culture and faith of the educator to swap your heirs culture and faith, if you so wish. This is sometimes easier than converting all your counties cultures.
One final thing, is that while there is no explicit limit on the number of Ducal rank titles you can hold, you gain a -10 malus to all your vassals opinion of you for every ducal title over the 2nd one you personally hold.

[lamename]

Disinhereting sons uses up renown, which if you are especially fertile... well it will be expensive and ensure that you won't get any legacies.

[Vinterloft]

I love how you compared something to Imperator as if that was a game someone played

Really got a good laugh

[Seppi]

according to nr 8: I found it very useful for the start with a very very insignificant character like in my playthrough the Duke of Passau to get the Intrigue Skill that lets you create hooks on other characters. By doing so and creating a hook on my Leige I modified the "vassal contract" (I can't remember the specific name of that) that way, that my titles can't be revoked, so I don't lose right out because there's no way to win a rebellion war due to too view soldiers.

[stickymilkman]

I HAVE 300 GOD DAMN HOURS IN THE GAME AND 4 GAMES UNDER MY BELT AND I JUST NOW LEARNED THAT I CAN CHOOSE EDUCATION FOCUS

[chazeltov]

I love that you use that as the example, it took so many re starts before the French didn’t join. The one good game where I got the achievement, France joined but wasn’t fast enough and I took the capital and ended the war.

"...that way you can make it someone else's problem"

How to play CK in a nutshell

[darthgoldfish]

There is no limit on how many universities can be built, but you only get the bonus from it, if you personally hold the county title.

[Maverickran]

CK3 + lazy night Jazz = the heresy that I approve

[WSalzstreuer]

I like the "get over it" song in the background :D

[caileanireland]

The special succession types make it so if you die while having confederate partition no new kingdoms are formed.

[emilkapron]

Acctualy the special successions can be applied to all your titles and is specialy useful in duchies case cuz if you apply the special succession type to your primary title as well as to the duchy titles then your heir will inherit all the counties located in said duchies no matter what. So for example you can have 10 sons and a domain of 8 counties located in 2 duchies if you change the duchies succession to elective then you are the only elector in said titles and what happens upon your death is that your heir will inherit all 8 counties.

[jenniferpresnell]

Hello,
The inheritance law you mentioned with elections actually can lose you the game. The game only continues if you continue to rule something and generally has to be a member of your house. Whenever one of your characters dies or anytime you can choose to play a different ruler, but I know in Ironman it always had to be that your heir was a member of your house to continue the same game/get points. I’m still playing through my first game and haven’t turned on Ironman yet to be able to verify it’s still the same.

Also, you don’t have to learn all of the innovations to move to the next time era. You have to learn most and then have a “waiting period” before you can switch. I think it’s like 75 or maybe 80% of the era before you can. You also have to be head of culture to control that (otherwise it probably my does take all of the innovations). To be head of culture you have to control more counties of your culture than any other rulers.
