Tutorial and FAQ Request(s)

[Aeon221]

Hey, the Steam winter sale is going on and that means numerous new players buying this game, loading it up and going "wtf?"

Any chance some of you enterprising souls can take a little time to post some links to awesome tutorial videos or guides so that people have a resource? It'd also be handy if people could answer questions and whatnot.

Gonna link this in the r/steamdeals post about CK2 so that people can spot it easier.

Danke.

Meneth did yeoman's work and it's hard to improve upon or even add to.

I tried to add a bit about combat value and build order, but it was built on a flawed model of combat and has been outdated by the introduction of tactics. Retinues are about the only major mechanic Meneth didn't cover, and debate on best strategy for their use is still ongoing.

Thank you soooo very much for these timely tutorial links Aarvark Bellay. I recently bought CK2 on steam and as a complete newb they are a truly great help!

You're welcome. Pardox games are never simple to get at first, but if you got the hang on it you'll be gripped.

I haven't really been reading the AARs for CKII a lot, but there might be some good gameplay oriented AARs. Reading those are usually a good way to learn the game.
