This is by no means a really good guide to CK2 – I hope we’ll see some awesome guides in due course (for example, the Hearts of Iron 3 strategy guide was really great), but perhaps this will help a few people.
So, I thought I would write up a few tips for any starting CK2 player based on some ideas I’ve had playing the demo, playing CK and playing other, similar games. And how do I know if the car is running well? And what on earth would I do if it wasn’t? Yes, I could read a description of all the car bits, but how would that help me diagnose the problems? And what minor tweaks would I apply to rectify little concerns? I know, roughly, what all the bits do, but I have no idea what on earth I could tweak to make the engine stop rattling. Playing a Paradox game is for many what looking at a car engine is to me. Then there are those who play like the guy behind the ParadoxianLP streams, who whizzes at speed through CK in a way I find slightly dizzying!Īll of this makes for a great read for you and me but these amusing tales don’t take away from the problem that many Paradox games have: It’s easy enough to know how to click the buttons and even the systems are easy enough to understand, but it’s really hard to understand the way to actually go about playing the game. Friends from demonstrate this well: Aeon221 plays an extremely bloodthirsty game, CSL, on the other hand, loves to play a more ‘courtly’ game, like me. I’m not one to take on playing a huge kingdom and blasting my way through wars and relations, I love getting close and intimate with my own family (er… that didn’t come out right) and watching all the courtiers and vassals closely.īut what’s great about CK2 is that there are a variety of ways to play. There’s something wonderfully personal and intimate about managing a single dynasty and engaging in the petty squabbles of courtly life. I have tried to enjoy Paradox games in the past and while I found HoI3 approachable I’ve not really jelled with any other game.
So Crusader Kings 2 is out (or is inside a few hours) and if I had the time I would love to be playing it as I loved the demo.
