Any reccomended mods or just learn the game first before I start adding random shit. Even just mods to make it simpler?

This is a very demanding question but would anyone be up for teaching me tomorrow because the youtube videos sound like gibberish, maybe even links to youtube videos that aren't in gibberish would help if you're not free to teach a noob.

Arumba's tutorial series is good at teaching the basics but it's pretty outdated by this point

It was however the one I used and the rest of my experience was done by scouring the wiki and just experimenting for myself in game and seeing what works out

I recommend starting with Ironman disabled so you can save scum in case things go wrong on your first few playthroughs (although there are ways to save scum even with Ironman but shhh)

the most fundamental and important information:::

if u are playing a tribal especially viking on elective gavelkind where land is split amongsts your sons on death you should immediately kill your wife after u have 1 son to ensure 100% of it goes away the more sons you have the more fucked border gore you will create and the longer it will be until you reunify

i would just advise you play the base game as a character who doesnt have much micromanaging to do and land to administrate with someone experienced

Untill your son gets sick or gets assasinated then you need to find a wife real fast

although tbh Tribal bordergore isn't even too bad anymore with the Holy Fury mechanic that allows you to duel for the land as long as you have a claim on it

makes cleaning up elective gavelkind bordergore way easier and faster

also pro tip to everyone playing ck2 for the first time:

you can start pretty much anywhere and as anyone, but don't start as the byzantines or england or you will literally hate yourself

can i play as bulgaria?

is it useless like in hoi4 tho?

Bulgaria in the 936 starting date is actually pretty good, can even rival the Byzantines if you play well

also in CK2, no 'country' is truly useless (except for when Charlemagne controls Francia omegaLUL) since the game is based on characters rather than states.
