I love playing tall. My favorite start is Brittany. It's a kingdom consisting of one duchy with 7 counties, perfect size so you can control all of the holdings without needing too high a stewardship and you don't have to deal with any vassals (or at most a couple of mayors). Plus you control every county of the Breton culture so you'll always be the culture head. Once you get primogeniture you'll have an extremely stable kingdom.

I favor Sardinia myself, but it's much the same as Brittany, I imagine. Fairly large duchy( or maybe that's only with Corsica?), ALL of it is coastal so you can build tradeports everywhere, and it's fairly easy to either convert to Catholicism and befriend Italy or France, or maintain Orthodoxy and join the ERE.

@@TheAngryXenite Yeah I've done both and it's a pretty similar situation. Sardinia has those mines too, which is really nice. A lot more competition for territory going on over there though and a little more work to set up initially, which is why I tend to go for Brittany because I like a pretty chill game for the most part. Sardinia is great though.

@@meowzebub9667 Sardinia is my favorite starting place. It`s super easy to defend, as the only way there is by boat. I focused a military only castle in the one mountain tile, so I could defend it extremely easy. Even 10:1 Numbers of the enemy weren`t a problem. Had a holy war declared by the muslims for Sardinia, and slaughtered basically 100.000 enemy soldiers over the course of the war, as we only chased around the island and sometimes ambushed them in the mountains.

Great video! I'm playing an Ironman game where I started as the Duke of Holland in 867. Currently in 1295 as the Emperor of the custom empire of Frisia, and I've completed all technologies in the Late Medieval Era. I'm earning close to 600 gold a month and have a pile of 120,000 gold lying around. My capital county of Holland has development of 95, and the Dutch counties in general have the highest development in the world. Playing tall is easily the best strategy in CK3, and is actually quite OP. It especially helps if you have a few counties with more than 3 holdings in it, since you can always add more castles to boost your economy and military. Some tips are: - Always keep the steward on increasing county development, with first priority on your capital county, and second priority on your other counties that share your culture, and third priority on vassal counties that share your culture. - Always keep the marshal to training commanders, since it reduces men-at-arms maintenance, which nets you more gold per month, and gives your free knights. - If you take the golden obligations perk, set your spymaster to finding secrets. Start blackmailing everyone and watch as they pour out their coffers to keep you quiet. Strong hooks are especially valuable since you can demand payment every five years. - If possible, marry your ruler to someone who has very high stewardship, and set her to manage domain. Half of her stewardship stats will be added to yours, increasing your demesne limit as well as your taxes. - It is even better if you can get the genius trait into your family, since it gives you additional 30% lifestyle points, and gives better education traits to your wards.

I really liked this video! The only thing I want to add is that if you really wanted to focus on development you could build cities rather than temples whenever you can. You don't get as much in gold/levies but it has the guilds building option which gives the same development bonus as tradeports. Little bit of a tradeoff as you won't be making as much gold but I like trying to get my development as high as I can as fast I can, just to see when I can catch up to Rome/Constantinople/Madrid

Had a pretty fun campaign as the King of Georgia in 1066. Became vassal of Byzantines and stayed a loyal vassal (mostly) for 300 years. Focused on playing tall and building up development and buildings. And fighting wars or murdering to put dynasty members in power including Syria, Jerusalem, Serbia, and Pontus. Also spent that time getting a nice feudal contract. Guaranteed council rights as steward is seriously OP for playing tall. In the last 100 years once I was making like 200 gold a month and like 30k levies just from Georgia and Servian which was integrated. I put myself as Emperor and decided to form Rome and go on a conquest spree.

Playing tall is super fun and can be very rewarding if you play it well. The last tall game I played I had maxed out my buildings in the duchy of Holland, but was pretty much a nobody. But because of my strong tall economic backbone I managed to grab hold of 2 extra dutchies and found The Netherlands after I broke free from my liege (lotharingia). With a holy war I took over viking Denmark and thanks to the buy claim perk in the scholar learning lifestyle tree I managed to take over East Francia. With some more bought claims I was able to take over Lotharingia as well and was deep into pomerania. I then was able to combine the kingdoms of Denmark, The Netherlands, East Francia and Lotharingia into The Dutch Empire. Within a single lifetime I went from being a duke from some backwater duchy to the ruler of a giagantic european empire.

Hey there! I'm not Welsh but I love playing Wales in ck. Pro tip. Next time yo want a perfect succession, give the kingdom title the feudal elective law and hold some lands outside of Wales by either on your own or by vassals and inside Wales have 2 duchies completely and max 1 vassal. This will ensure all the lands are inherited by the person of your choice. You can even take this further by owning literally no land outside but getting another kingdom title. For example I have a play through atm and I did what I just described but also took the kingdom of England with no land inside England. Still confederate partition, but no matter how many children I have I can choose whoever to inherit all my lands and both kingdoms. If you get another kingdom title that you want more, you can make that your primary for a second and switch back to the one with the election law and voilà.
