i am so overwhelmed by this game

[Degekstuh87]

I try to play it, but i'm so overwhelmed with all the menu's, buttons and info I can't seem to hold my attention for so long. How do you even start this journey? I see people with over 500h in-game. It amazes me really and I really admire those people. Do you have any tips for a new starting hobo of a player

Embrace. Become. Thrive.

You don't have to know what all of the buttons do to start the game. Learn what you need to for each small task as you go.

Enjoy it. Like any paradox game, the entire strategy and complexity illusion is in figuring out the mechanics. After you figure out all the menus and what does what, it is boringly simple.

[Cruentus]

If it seems to be too much, take a little break and watch one or two Youtube videos. When you get a grasp on the core features, everything else comes really fast.
Looks way more complicated than it actually is, believe me.

Play the tutorial until you finally understand the basics. After that its just trial and error. I messed up games for a month before i had a good understanding.

Send a friend request if you want to play with me and my friend. We'll help explain stuff.

Just RP as a nobleman who has no idea what he's doing.

I recommend ItalianSpartacus' CK3 tutorials. Honestly, I was super overwhelmed at first, but now that I have the game down it's actually very easy to navigate. The hardest part for me was actually just learning how the feudal world works like rules etc.

Can you call it roleplay, when you have no idea what you are doing? Are you playing the role or the role play's you?

I recommend to start small. Be a Count. Learn in baby steps what you need and how it works.
Try to start as Count of Genua in Italy. It got a nice special building. For the early boost. :)
Be a good (or bad) vassal. And work your way up. Or keep it small. It's your decision.

Aye you don't need to know it all right away, I've had many failed attempts where I barely get a kingdom together through mainly warfare, its only my last run that I've managed to get an Empire and things are going well, and thats 129 hours in.

Best tip is just keep playing through until you hit a loss point and learn from that, and as you do that you'll also start to see all the other things throughout a play through that are effecting you badly and you need to sort out.

How can you not get a Kingdom?

I can get an Kingdom in the first 5 years, because there are too many and too overpowered small Kingdoms, like the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Venice, but Bohemia is a lot more overpowered than anything else in the Game, because of Mine, a University and 3 Counties with 6 Baronies + 3 other Mines and Universities in the Neighborhood.

My Advice play in Bohemia, because this was the way, how I learned the Game, it is a safe Duchy with good Terrain for defensive Battles, because it is surrounded by Mountains.


And since T&T, you will always find an perfect Commander for your Battles.

"All right, look. Look at it this way. You know, a man takes a job, you know? And that job - I mean, like that - you know, that becomes what he is. You know, like - you do a thing and that's what you are." Peter Boyle in Taxi Driver, 1976

Don't feel the need to do anything. Be overwhelmed and just press play and stick with it making decisions/choices till game over. Repeat. Learning the mechanics of the game was half of the fun for me personally. When you finally learn the mechanics a new dimension of the game opens up.

Basically because I like to start as a small ruler owning 1 or 2 counties at most and work my way up, I never like starting as somebody with way too much to manage right off the bat.
