Crusader Kings 2 Tutorial: Learn CK2 in 20 Minutes
341,663
Published 2017-06-05
This is a quick start guide aimed at beginners. It was made for version 2.7.1. The tutorial introduces new players to Crusader Kings 2 through an example game started in Ireland. The video assumes no prior knowledge of the game. In particular, it explains the meaning of the terms "vassal" and "demesne" and explains the purpose of having vassals.
Once you are comfortable with the basics, read the Gameranx tutorial if you want a more detailed guide to the game:

This was infinitely better than the in-game tutorial
-
"Now you can see the troop numbers going down because people are dying." Just the way he says it is fucking hilarious to me good god.
-
Please make an advanced tutorial, you explain things very well.
-
Thank you. This was super helpful. I'm amazed such a complex game doesn't have a better walkthrough.
-
Nice job, best condensed tutorial of CK2 I have watched. Thanks for talking clearly and slowly! I find that to be rare; most others tend to talk very fast while conveying too much disjointed info.
-
This is the only guide that eases you into ck2 with some definite first actions. You've got a talent for turning a mass of information into tiny steps. I think I can do this!
-
I have watched easily over 2 hours of tutorials and I have learned more from 10 min of this video than all those combined. Good bloody Job!
-
This tutorial should be in the game. Amazing work!
-
The game is free right now on steam, just got ck2. Great tutorial my dude
-
Dozens of tutorial videos later, I finally find one that ACTUALLY teaches you the basics.
-
When you're an advanced player and still learn something new Outstanding job!!!!!!!!!
-
This BY FAR is the best tutorial out there for CK2.
-
A Crusader Kings tutorial that doesn't give me a migraine. Wonderful!
-
This is the tutorial I needed. I found myself being overwhelmed with information within the first 10 minutes of every other tutorial. Thank you
-
I have had CKII sitting in my steam library for almost two years, but every attempt at playing ended in total confusion and failure because of my impatience. Thanks to your video, I can finally enjoy CKII as much as I enjoyed EUIV and HOI4. Thank you!
-
Thank You! I watched hours of tutorials so far and learned nothing, but yours 20 minutes videos helped me a lot!
-
Thanks for making a tutorial in a reasonable amount of time instead of the shitty hour+ videos
-
Finally a tutorial that doesn't try to be funny and actually gets on with the job, cheers.
-
The best CKII tutorial I've seen! You have my subscription!
-
I played the ingame tutorial and like five other youtube tutorials, and yours was definitely the best at showing how to play the game.
