Fourth, you can press a “De Jure” claim on a county. From left to right, the first says you can press a Weak Claim on a county. Almost everything critically important in Crusader Kings II will be either a pop-up dialogue or one of the top middle icons. The first most important things: the icons that bounce onto the top of the screen. It's not, really, but don't expect Crusader Kings II to tell you that. Now, there are a ton of buttons across the top of the screen and a few on the side.
I find that, other than occasionally checking the Religion map, the Terrain map suffices for most everything in the game, so set it to that and forget about it for a while. You can change that, and fiddle with other settings, on the bottom right of the screen. When the game starts, the map will still be showing the duchies. As such, I'm going to be saying “this will make sense when you get comfortable" a lot. This guide is aimed at helping you understand the most common and important decisions in the game. Once you become comfortable and fluent in the game, it's probably about as complex as Civilization. Crusader Kings II has a lot of wheels and can toss a bunch of information at you. You don't have to stick with 1066.įirst, don't panic. One of my favorites is to start from the Alexeid, in 1081, because its weakened Byzantine Empire tends to prevent it from being too dominant. While normally I like to play from the beginning, varying the start date in Crusader Kings II can be quite interesting. You can also change the start date for different situations. The guy we want is Duke Guilhem VIII of Aquitaine. Click it, click around southwestern France. Hovering over every button in the game leads to critical tooltips. In order to choose a Duke, there's a small button in the line on the top to sort by duchies. With that in mind, I recommend trying Crusader Kings II as the King Of Sweden, Duke of Transylvania, any of the Russian dukes, the Emir of Baghdad, or, as I'll walk you through in this guide, the Duke of Aquitaine, in southwestern France. As a head of a large kingdom or empire, you'll be bombarded with confusing, decontextualized information. If you play as a Count, you probably won't have the power to do much of anything, making for a boring game. Second, new games are best at the Duke or small kingdom level. Spain, the Balkans, Russia, Scandanavia, Turkey, and Iraq are the boundary areas for the 1066 start year. The game mechanics make these areas more interesting for conventional strategy play. This can be an overwhelming beginning, and it isn't helped by the fact that the only way the game offers for sorting different rulers is an incredibly misleading “Difficulty stat.” My two recommendations:įirst, play fairly near the religious borders. Currently, /r/CrusaderKings is operating its seventh communal game.Your first decision is which noble to play as.
