Jusy another lot of thanks to CSK, I've just bought the game and this served as a great starter tutorial. (Despite getting my ass whipped by Poland/Silesia every time!)

Would love to see another Noob AAR from you CSK - just put that EUIII game aside for alittle while! :D
 
Just bought CK and started playing using this AAR. As some before me, I got kicked in upper Silesia after winning the first 2 battles. But no matter. It showed me the ropes and the rest I'll learn by playing. But first a restart :D .
So, thanks :) .
 
I've had HOI:Doomsday for a while and decided to give Crusader Kings a go. Found this AAR and tried to follow it............ but every time I go into Lower Silesia, the Germans and Poles have declared peace which I am assuming creates peace between myself and the Duke of Silesia.

I ended up sitting with my army in Lower Silesia waiting to take the province and it took me two months to realise that I was no longer at war!!!!!

My question is, once I have defeated the army in Lower Silesia, how long (as long as I am still at war) does it take for me to conquer the province?? I know this is dependant on a number of factors but can anyone give me a rough idea??
 
Hmpf

Nice AAR, really gives some insight into the game.

I tryed the same silesian strategy, but failed utterly ... 7 time in a row.

in 6 times the following happend.
I moved my Army of 4400 Soldiers to silesia, destroyed the defenders, got attacked once or twice by smaller armies like 1000 men or so ... and got attacked by a much larger army of 6000 men who wioped the flor with my men.
One times of theses, I retreated, and attacked upper selesia, got attacked, but I got help by the germans, and won the battle in the end .. unfortunatly everyone of my soldiers was dead.


The 7th attemp (which was actually the 3rd chronological) I beat the silesian army, conquered lower silesia, advanced to upper Silesia ... and germany makes a whit peace, so I got nothing.


Now, please tell me. How is it possible to win this without countless reloads? Either you are crushed by far far superior forces or germany concludes a peace and leaves you with nothing. Any tricks?

Luck, and the strategy doesn't really work for DV or newer patches anymore, I think. At least I failed myself when trying myself the last few times.

Oh well, if there's any wish, I'll make a new DV guide as Apulia/Sicily.
 
Yes, plz

I can´t speak for anyone else, but I would really like to see you make that AAR.

Being a n00b with DV, I think it would be really helpful for me and probably for lot of other player as well.

So if you have the time plz enlighten those of us who needs it!

It's not impossible. I have conquered Silesia in DV with the help of my German liege.

I would second that request, as I am just new to CKDV and am starting out with the DVIP+addons as well.

But this was a great AAR and it gave me some insight as to things I need to check and keep track of.

Thanks for all of your work.

Great for beginner like me. Thanks!
 
Is it still the case that you have to save and reload when your character gets a higher title? I have the latest beta patch installed.
 
CSK said:
Yes, it is. And I doubt that will change anytime soon, since it's a basic mechanic of the game.

That sucks. Why it can't be fixed, I hate S/L stuff and most of the time I'll forget to do that just because this game requires S/L in the gameplay :mad:
 
Nice post for beginners. pinned:D
