7 Best Starting Rulers For Tours And Tournaments In CK3
With the new Tours & Tournaments DLC for CK3, you can choose from a number of interesting masters to start with.
Along with the free Lance update, the Crusader Kings 3 Tours & Tournaments extra pack is one of the best things added to the game so far. Roleplay has never been better in CK3 than it is now, thanks to changes to activities and a new way to move.
The best parts of Tours & events are the exciting events players can host or join and the different types of grand tours they can take around their realms. To get the most out of this new DLC, players will want to choose starting rulers who have the money and tools to host all these grand events. They may also want to play as characters who are strong enough to fight with the best in tournaments and hunt the biggest beasts.
Duke Vratislav II Of Bohemia
Duke Vratislav II of Bohemia is a great starting master in 1066 with the Tours & Tournaments DLC for a number of reasons. First of all, the Duchy of Bohemia, which can turn into a country, is pretty stable. This means that the player can avoid wars and focus on other things.
Duke Vratislav’s lands are also a great way to make money so that people can pay for all the expensive things they will want to do. His fairly high Stewardship skill helps him manage money, and his even higher Martial skill and Prowess mean he can also compete in grand events and have a chance of winning.
High Chieftain Bayajidda “The Slayer Of The Snake” Of Kano
Even though Crusader Kings 3 can teach players a lot about real history, there are still a lot of gaps to fill in for the year 867. This is especially true in places where there aren’t many historical records. In these kinds of stories, most of the characters are made up, but some are based on legendary people who may or may not have lived.
One of these famous heroes is High Chieftain Bayajidda of Kano, who is also known as “The Slayer of the Snake.” Few characters are better suited to taking down the most epic beasts that Africa has to offer in the new hunt activities.
Doux Dragos Of Raska
Several new mines were added to the mediaeval world in the free Lance update for Crusader Kings 3, but the area around Serbia gained the most. Now, in 1066, Doux Dragos of Raska has two mines on his land and a few more just outside his lines that he can take by force.
Doux Dragos and his successors can make a lot of money from all these mines, which gives the player a lot of new perks and lets them pay for all the big weddings, tours, and tournaments they want.
William The Conqueror
If players can beat Harold Godwinson and take over England as Duke William of Normandy, they might not be able to think of a better ruler to try out the new tour tool as they try to keep their power.
William the Conqueror would be the perfect person to go on an intimidation tour, and players will enjoy planning each stop so they can teach their new vassals the rules of the land.
Chieftain Haraldr “Tanglehair” Of Vestfold
Chieftain Haraldr “Tanglehair” of Vestfold, who would later unite Norway, is one of the best masters to try out the new Tours & Tournaments features in the 867 start date. If players don’t want to conquer, they can use Haraldr’s high Martial skill and Prowess to participate in tournament duels and wrestling matches.
Since he is Norse and worships the old gods, he can also take part in the redesigned grand blots and other celebrations. With all the risks on the seas, crossing them is also more exciting now.
King Sancho II Of Castille
King Sancho II of Castile is a great first king to try out in Tours & Tournaments in 1066 for two main reasons. First of all, his Martial stat is high, and his Prowess stat is even higher. This means that he can do well in both hunts and contests.
But his friend, the great El Cid, Rodrigo de Vivar, is an even better knight, and he can stand in for King Sancho at tournaments. El Cid is also the best knight to use the new Knight Accolade system. This system lets the most famous knights get titles and special perks that get better as they level up. In Crusader Kings 3, players could even give him his own county and then switch to acting as him to roleplay as El Cid.
Create Your Own Overpowered Tournament Knight
One of the best ways to enjoy Crusader Kings 3’s new grand battles and updated hunts is to make your own ruler and boost their Martial and Prowess skills to make them one of the best knights in Happy Wheels game.
Having the Herculean trait and a good Martial education can also help with this. This is because with a good Martial education, players can move up the Gallant perk tree and unlock perks that will help them in events. Players don’t have to rule more than one county, and they can wait for other rulers to host hunts and events that they can join. By winning tournaments, players can get a lot of gold and other prizes, as well as a lot of fame.
You can play Crusader Kings 3 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
