Whether you’ve just lost some war and have to keep reloading that last save or your ruler got assassinated at the most unfortunate time, just go with the flow and enjoy the chaos of it all. So my tip here for you is to never worry about whether you will win or lose. There’s no ultimate goal that you have to reach to win a campaign. You don’t have to worry about when the game ends because it’s irrelevant. Through strategic marriages, religion and politics etc. This means that your goal in a campaign, in addition to conquering lands and expanding your realm, is to expand your influence, grow your dynasty and leave a mark on the known world. While it’s certainly possible to do so even before the campaign officially ends, this is not what the game is all about.ĬK3 is all about characters, rulers, your family and your dynasty. The first instinct of many players is to say I have to conquer all of this and make it my own. When you first look the map in Crusader Kings 3, you see all these lands and kingdoms, empires etc. The more you learn, the faster you’ll be able to learn more. When I first started playing CK3, I was completely overwhelmed but I stuck with it and stubbornly learned about it and nowadays it’s very easy to get into a campaign and have some fun, whether for 20 minutes or 3 hours. The most important thing that I can tell you right now is to keep playing the game, keep learning about it and eventually it will all make more sense.

In this guide for beginners I am going to talk about some core game concepts, as well as your goals and some general tips & tricks everyone should know about. Crusader Kings 3 can be very intimidating to players who have never played a grand strategy game before.
