Thankyou! its surprising how much random little things I've still not fully realized after all this time lmao

I'm currently in this run. I started as the jarl of the island of Visby just south of Uppland. I started a Varengian Adventure against Greater Poland and then formed a new culture with Konni, and the Norse special units also. I also put the tradition For the Sword which allows me to do multiple great holy wars for kingdoms. But then most of the Pagan kingdoms became Orthodox. And so now I can actually conquer the Byzantine Empire cause I had my heir (whom I am now playing as) marry the daughter of the Emperor. I now have West Slavia, the Baltic empire (which does not count as a De Jure Slavic empire territory, but they where pretty weak and so I conquered them. The most difficult thing will be obtaining the rights for the zone of the Russian Empire. But it's 1075 and so I hope I have time for all of that land.

I finished my Slavia run yesterday. It was a pain to go (one particular Duchy war took 19 years). Started as Rurik to get Land of Rus achievement. Did a few tricks to free land - for example swore fealty to Khazaria to destroy in from the inside, then had to destroy Byzantines, to get my hands on parts of the state inside Byzantines. Converted to catholicism for better culture progress and made norse/russian hybrid culture to boost switching to feodalism. At 5th of June 1252 I finally finished conquering the lands.

Nah, wrong expansion direction. Be Slavic Pagan.

Hey a quick tip/hack i found out recently. When you create a new faith your new holy sites are the same as in the old faith from which you created, which can be exploited. Example: i played as a Catholic character and became the king of Jeruzalém, later i converted to apostolic and immediately created a new faith which a called new catholicism. Apostolic has holy sites close to Jeruzalém and so my new catholicism had the holy sites close too. I your case i would recoment converting to krstjni as the holy sites are in the region and one is in your capital, build a temple threre and then creating your own christian religion. It doesnt matter if you would like to recreate helenism or slovanska pravda just change the name, color and icon and nobody will ever know that you are a christian. You can keep the holy sites close by and build up the counties there.

You should go with Krstjani faith as it suits your starting point

Nice. Here is an idea. Form a hybrid culture with something so you can get the Konnie men-at-arms. Build Hunting Grounds in all your holdings so you can get insane bonuses to the Konnie. I did that when i did the Unite the Slavs challange. Konnie are op. You stackwhipe everything if you have enught of them

Ready for the next part !

The special building slot in Rama is for the holy site for Krstjani. If you make your own faith, convert to Krstjani first so you get the holy sites.

controversial game goals of the 90s

Love this. Such a fun playthrough. Can I make 1 suggestion though.... Can you just slow things down a little. I get that you want to cover a lot and you're very familiar with the game, but personally I'd happily watch slightly longer videos where I get to see a little bit more of what is going on as it happens. I'm getting on to 50 and maybe that's why I'm occasionally having to rewind bits to figure out what actually happened because it went so fast. I even tried lowering the speed to .75 but boy you sounded weird

ive lived for 105 years as king of aquatine, england, wales, and brittany. Pretty good run

Love ur content of ck3 it's my favorite. I have ck3 on my Xbox but no keyboard and mouse support. It's so hard to play with a controller. Just navigating or movement is a night mare

Dejure wars have to be unlocked in the culture tab

You should definitely try to get the konni Men-at-arms because they are broken. Croatian has the cultural tradition "konni raids" that grants them. Also when you form a new culture, you should drop the isolationist tradition Bosnian has because you're going for such a wide, diverse empire.

This may sound crazy, but I always try to combine cultures with the Basque culture. You only need one county, which you can get a claim on with your realm priest. Once you build up enough cultural acceptance you can combine and take the trait that gives you "high partition" VERY EARLY. This solves succession problems bigtime.

I think forming a pan-Slavic culture (definitely getting the Konni in there), and converting to Krstjani would be good. If you united all of those Holy Sites, you could even declare a Krstjani Pope, which would be awesome!

You should revive the karolingers to the french throne

Culture wise I think hybridizing with the Avar culture could give you some good diversity tolerance and military advantage ~ i think they’re even better than the Moyger culture. In my playthrough Russo-Norse was formed , they might be another good one to hybridize with. There are so many options with faiths too! Maybe a folk syncretic christian faith? Would be really good for all the pagans to your north!

You could create a heresy from the Bosnian faith of Krstjani, they would have decent holy site locations within your realm.

Did you take the idea from my comment 6 days ago: A fun playthrough is starting as a Croatian or Hungarian and hybridizing with the other so then you have both Koni and Horse Archers and can melt other armies so you don't have to chase them around the map. I prefer to go with Croatian so you can milk the Pope for gold and then go for the whole Slavia unification. Just make 2 stacks of Koni, 2 Horse Archers, and 2 of the best siege equipment while building all buildings that give a bonus to light cavalry. So easy to win against 3-4 times your numbers. Or is it a lucky coincidence? The Bosnia move threw me for a loop, but it does seem interesting. Nice to see a Slavia playthrough.

They are noted as having mixed with Germanics, Hungarians, Celts, Old Prussians, and the Pannonian Avars. East Slavs have origins in early Slavic tribes who mixed and contacted with Finns, Balts and with the remnants of the people of the Goths. Their early Slavic component, Antes, mixed or absorbed Iranians, and later received influence from the Khazars and Vikings.The East Slavs trace their national origins to the tribal unions of Kievan Rus' and Rus' Khaganate, beginning in the 10th century. South Slavs from most of the region have origins in early Slavic tribes who mixed with the local Proto-Balkanic tribes (Illyrian, Dacian, Thracian, Paeonian, Hellenic tribes), and Celtic tribes (particularly the Scordisci), as well as with Romans (and the Romanized remnants of the former groups), and also with remnants of temporarily settled invading East Germanic, Asiatic or Caucasian tribes such as Gepids, Huns, Avars, Goths and Bulgars. The original inhabitants of present-day Slovenia and continental Croatia have origins in early Slavic tribes who mixed with Romans and romanized Celtic and Illyrian people as well as with Avars and Germanic peoples (Lombards and East Goths). Therefore they all have mixed blood, which means that your exclusion of Russia is racism motivated by your western propaganda-influenced political views.
