Anyway, I managed to marry a person from the family of William the Conqueror of the Duchy of Normandy. This is one of the aspects that makes this game so interesting: The political and family intrigues.īeing single, I wanted to marry a powerful family who could support me in the event of future conquests. War is one way to conquer new territories, but there are others, such as diplomacy and family alliances. My aim was to form the great Kingdom of Ireland by bringing together all the different families under one banner. With my southern border secure, I was finally able to take the time to think about my expansion. Genghis Khan himself would have been impressed! Once the battle was won (so much skill), I besieged the capital and made it my vassal after negotiating peace. Therefore, I confidently went to war to fight my opponent and recover my due. That sounded like a good excuse to me, but you can probably be more creative. My casus belli? This territory was previously part of my duchy.
To start a war against another ruler, it is absolutely necessary to have a pretext, called a "casus belli". I wanted to secure my borders on the south of my territory, that’s why I started to prepare for war, going against my neighbor to the south Desmond. And as I said earlier, I’m quite a beginner, so I needed something manageable. Was it the exotic climate (hum) of Ireland that appealed to me? Or its wonderful landscapes? To be honest, the reason I chose this family is simple: Its natural borders are sea and ocean, which makes it easier to play. I, for example, chose a family in Ireland, that of "little king Murchad" from the "BRIAN" family. The following is essential information: A “family” represents a people and a territory. The game is based on alliances, families, and the creation of casus belli (I'll explain what that is later) to invade your neighbors and make them your vassals. That helped me tremendously in the discovery of Crusader King III’s incredible game system. Families, duchies, casus belli, and wars.īeing a beginner, I had to go through the tutorial.
And today I decided to take control of the blog to share my thoughts with you about this little jewel! Who am I to tell you to do a tutorial? Well, I'm Vincent, Marketing Project Manager at Shadow. Want to relive the First Crusade? The Viking invasions? The conquest of England by William the Conqueror? Then this game is for you.Ĭrusader Kings III is a strategy game set in 2 epochs of history: Either during the period of the Viking invasions in 867 AD, or just before the First Crusade in 1066.Ī little tip before getting to the heart of the matter: If you don't know the game, you should absolutely go through the tutorial to understand the numerous amounts of mechanics.
