CK3 basics - Victory (lemmy.ml)

Hey guys,

Just got CK3 after watching Viking and wanting to play with essentially royal court simulator.

Loving it so far, I have become king of all of Ireland with petty king Brian's son but I've got no victory screen.

Is this like other paradox games where there are short victories and long victories?

Essentially I'm wondering if it's time to start a new campaign or if there's some screen I can go-to to see my current campaign goal.

Any help would be appreciated, this community looks like it needed some love so I figure ask here before I search for an ancient reddit post.

Yeah, like others are saying, this is not a game with a typical "victory." It has an "ending," of course, when the timeline ends, or when your dynasty dies, but the game itself has no pre-set goal. The goal is whatever you decide it to be. Essentially it is a simulator, and you are "winning" if you are having fun playing it.

This is what I've found out. Sense the show vikings is my inspiration, I'm playing as Alfred. So far I have Mercia, Angela and Wessex. Currently I'm trying to decide to either go for Gweynny to bolster my forces, or attack Jorvik.

I SHALL CONQUER ALL OF ENGLAND!!!!

Sounds like you're playing it right. :)

I became king of England and Ireland. Stood my ground against multiple northern armies. Became a saint. Finally just died once Alfred reached 70 years old. RIP Alfred.
