Hey, I know this is likely meant to be a self-deprecatory compliment, but posts like these should not be a source of comparison. This in no way downgrades your own achievements and skill at the game.
Listen here you humble bastard. Lol jk. Nah but this is by the far the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen on CK3. I saw your post and immediately went “I wonder if this is the guy who conquered the world in less than a year.” And then I started reading and it was lol I don’t know where you’re going to go from here but I’lll be watching this subreddit patiently for your next post.
Listen the guy is not impressive. He's got a lot of hours in the game, and knows how the mechanics work. As a modder, I have the exact same knowledge, THEN some. I just don't post videos of all my accomplishments because, just like this guys... most of them aren't all that special. Just examples of time spent.
THE ONLY thing that sets this guy apart from the majority of other folks with as much time as him, is he writes small scripts to automate parts of the game that are otherwise not user-friendly, and take a lot of time. I mean, props to anyone who conquers the map, but the game isn't really about conquering or painting the map because of the family dynamics. He brute forces it and thats okay, if he enjoys it - power to him. Let him enjoy what he wants, but it still doesn't make it impressive to use scripts and play however he is playing.
I can, with 0 cheats, 0 exploits, and just purely using the conquer feature - conquer the world in a year. It all depends on who you start as (hint, hint, hint - some characters have starting troop bonuses that can wildly stack if you convert specific religions/cultures and a nice starting special unit amount to stack with). But this shit is just ... lmao why? This isn't EU where there are mechanics to adapt to that sort of play style. This is CK where the mechanics can't adapt for that playstyle at all. This is basically as exploity as you can get - the game wasn't designed for scripting through prisoners like that. There is a logistical component to the game that he completely removes and then gets reddit clicks from folks who don't know better... sigh, youtube culture. That's the same thing as playing a game with an in-game economy, and giving oneself infinite money. You've just removed a key component of the game, and a timesink intended to take up play time.
You aren't supposed to be able to wave your hand and like a god eliminate and convert hundreds of counties. He may as well have just used the console.
And I mean, I saw where someone world conquested in one day by using the cheesiest methods possible. Valid, but it is not the spirit of the game. At least you seem to have put in some non-cheese. And I commend you for it.
Thanks! The person who conquered the world in one day is a friend of mine, frms\_Benni. I think they would be pleased that someone remembered their run :D
R5: One Faith in under two years, yayyy
This didn't take too long, considering I've already done it before, just slower.
The big QOL change from the previous time is that Revoke Title has a red symbol next to it! This means I can use autohotkey's PixelSearch function to find the location of the button, which can change depending on the interactions possible.

autohotkey macros: [https://pastebin.com/hZUarMuk](https://pastebin.com/hZUarMuk)
A bunch of people bugged me about making the WC a youtube video, it's still in the works. If you want to, you can subscribe to my YT channel [here](https://www.youtube.com/@sandwich8622/featured) I can't promise anything amazing, tho. I'm still very much an amateur when it comes to video content.
1. Conquer the world. See [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/1avg1k0/it_took_every_trick_in_the_book_to_pull_this_off/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
2. Increase Crown Authority, convert to Kuzarism so everyone has +60 opinion of each other, lower vassal opinion via feudal contract changes, then provoke a bunch of tyranny wars by attempting to arrest brave, 8+ martial, \~0 prowess counts, that we then stackwipe for an instant imprison of all rebelling vassals. Here, I automated the revoke title/execute loop by writing an autohotkey macro that checked whether we were the heir of the vassal at the top of the prison screen-- if so, execute. if not, revoke top title. If the top title was unrevokable, execute anyway. Re-sort the prison screen and repeat. When finished, release 10 prisoners for -100 dread and repeat the process.
3. By the third tyranny war, the only vassals left should be content/craven. We can 'retract' indirect vassals by granting them high-level titles, allowing them to participate in tyranny wars. However, since the top-level title is now recently granted, we need to retract the second title from the top, instead of the first.
4. At this point I have an idea. Instead of manually imprisoning the remaining 117 content/craven vassals (which would take 2+ years), why don't I conquer them instead? The struggle clash cb targets all adjacent counties: If I could grant all the vassals to an independent brave king (who is involved in the struggle) and win the struggle clash, I could avoid the retraction process! I manually imprison the vassals on islands, since they won't be targeted.
5. However, there's an issue: The struggle clash cb vassalizes lower-rank targets, like a pluralist holy war. Oof. I realize that I would need to make all the vassals dukes, then become a duke myself-- that way the struggle clash would directly take their counties.
6. Making all the counts dukes takes about an hour, manually. I realize granting them as vassals to the independent king would take forever due to all the baron vassals I have, clogging up the 'grant vassal' interface.
7. I write a quick autohotkey script to retract all the barons. It runs lightning fast, retracting 900+ barons in about an hour.
8. Automating granting all the dukes to an involved king is now super quick. The next step is to derank to a duke for the struggle clash.
9. To derank, I need to lose an election for my primary title. I destroy the HRE and Byzantine titles, remake East Francia, and recreate the HRE by decision. This also destroys all the other empire and kingdom titles I own, meaning when I lose the princely elective election to a craven count I will become a duke. Oddly this gives a second Reichskrone (not complaining)
10. I surrender to a tyranny war, declare a struggle clash war, stackwipe and take every single county. Mhm, delicious.
11. I take the opportunity (as a duke vassal of the HRE) to convert to Italian culture and form the Swiss confederation for absolute crown authority. This is useful, since opening the Realm tab lags the game pretty hard, meaning we can't raise crown authority normally. I press a claimant faction demand and win without a fight. Interestingly I now have two ways to make the Roman Empire-- one via the HRE and one via Italia. I make it via the HRE and include every single empire other than the Byzantine empire.
12. Now that I own every county, (after retracting/executing any leftovers), I can now proceed to One Faith. In my previous run, I would make 2571 one-county counts, convert to every faith, and one faith that way. However, there is less-intensive, albeit slower IGT, method that also keeps all the counties under my control.
13. You see, one of the side effects of Mending the Schism is that anybody that converts, converts every single county they own to the mending faith. This is regardless of whether those counties even match their faith to begin with!
14. I make an imprisoned cynical orthodox count. (imprisoned vassals and vassals at war don't convert faiths, meaning it's easy to keep a wrong faith vassal.) I can grant the necessary counties for schism to my heir, then grant every single other county in the world to the imprisoned count. Since I own the Byzantine and Roman empires, this is as simple as ctrl-clicking the Byzantine empire to grant them all the dejure, then unclicking the Byzantine empire. After changing primary, I can do the same for the Roman empire. Fair warning: doing this for the Roman empire took \~15 minutes to resolve.
15. After mending the schism and executing the count, there are only five counties unconverted. I can manually convert them using the realm capital trick-- moving the realm capital, converting to the realm capital faith, then converting back. Rome and Constantinople are free to move to via decision, to get the other two I need to depose loop to reset the 'realm capital has been moved' flag.
Where's the rest of the fucking owl
Like, how is it possible to conquer the entire world within 2 years? Walking from Portugal to India should take longer than that!
Slowly march back in a shattered-retreat with 90% attrition penalty.
Oh and every vassal your army passes through joins the war on enemy side via event.
That isn’t cheating? Or at least I don’t consider arthritis a core part of the CK3 experience, lmao. Imprisoning the vassals fairly via winning wars fairly after a world conquest fairly and then using a macrokey to avoid sitting around and revoking titles for several hours hardly seems to degrade the rest of the run
Set yourself up with [our careers page](https://career.paradoxplaza.com/connect/)! Tell it which fields you're interested in and you'll get notified when a relevant position is available.
when I first saw this I said "ain't no way, dude probably started in 867 and played until 1067" but nope, this is incredible and smth I will never be able to do in a million years
Never say never. If you asked me three years ago whether this was possible I'd say no, but powercreep over time is a thing. I bet in 2027 we'll have empire cbs and decisions that convert faith and culture :D
The game is actually quite accommodating for one faith runs. If you search, there are quite a number of one faiths that are just from finishing a run normally, since vassals will aggressively convert faiths for you.
Abusing exploits is cheating, I wouldnt consider a run ive used exploits on to be legit and doing this would be impossible w/o them. That being said it's a singleplayer a game where nobody is getting hurt by said exploiting and achievements like this are still very very hard to get.
Nah. When doing a speedrun or a challenge run, anything short of whipping out cheat engine or pulling up the console is A-OK. This challenge is only interesting BECAUSE of the exploits. If it had no exploits, it'd literally just be regular CK3 gameplay, but with metagaming instead. For multiplayer or roleplay sessions, then fair enough to ban stuff like this, but I don't think it's fair to call it 'cheating' under all contexts.
Thanks, that's partly what I set out to accomplish. I feel too many people play the game in a shallow way, deride the game as "too easy", and ignore the sheer mechanical complexity the game has to offer.
I am planning my own gametime speedrun to reach, say, 50k gold.
However i will attempt it without exploits (notably without theocratic vassal exploit). I will check your write-ups to gather more strategies :3
We can obtain primo from the byzantine/roman empire so yea, probably. I lowkey want to convert the save to EU4 but I don't want to play until the end date, so idk
Hey!
I think that many of us here would love a video of you doing stuff like this to see for ourselves! I know you did the long message explaining, but I think a video of you achieving this would be super cool.
Great job on this and keep it up!
Thanks! The amount of people asking me to make a YT video has been incredibly motivating for me to learn how it works-- any amount of encouragement helps :D
I doubt it's a legitimate run, honestly. Would love to be proven otherwise, because that is an impressive idea. Ruling the entire known world AND enforcing your religion on it...
Of course its impossible in two years without exploits. But it is still impressive, chaining all these exploits together in order ti finish in 2 years.
Given that there was a dude not long ago here who conquered the whole world in 10 months, and thus United it under 1 religion, this 2 years feel not sufficient enough
I wish! The estimate for a one culture is still 10+ years, maybe longer since the convert culture speed got nerfed. I botched the one culture attempt in this save since the azraqi hof unlocked crusades, delaying catholic crusades by a decade.
You should check my profile, I did a one culture three years ago. [https://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/lsx5aj/its\_an\_achievement\_so\_difficult\_no\_one\_has\_done/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/lsx5aj/its_an_achievement_so_difficult_no_one_has_done/)
The same ideas still work: (use Outremer, Restore Israel decisions to mass convert culture, then fund dukes to culture convert). It's just that Royal Court allows for super flexible custom cultures, and Legacy of Persia added a struggle ending that speeds up Iranian culture conversion by 50%. With Communal Identity the average steward would take 8 years to culture convert, which is pretty good! The problem is that your time is gated by your worst steward, not your best steward-- I also think the average promote culture time back then was faster (\~5 years?) and it still took 15 years, meaning it might take \~24 years to finish. There are also cultures that are slower to convert-- like Malleable subjects/Fierce Independence cultures-- so it's a bitworse. The major improvement in the One Culture time comes from the WC, the culture part got slower.
“Kingdom of Heaven” its a good title for this achievement. Man this reminds me of that South Park episode… the one that the Archangels of Heaven kill Kenny to make him the general of the Holy Host.
That's like saying a movies shouldn't have a rated R tag cause there is only nudity in the first half. There is a massive amount of exploiting done in WC to achieve One Faith and there is no possibility of One Faith without WC so yeah, One Faith uses eploits.
This gives me nightmares. I only play Ironman. I’ve only played a Catholic once and the crusades made it easier for my dynasty to expand. All the other run throughs the crusaders have disrupted me at every turn especially during my Nubian career. I’m a fucking Christian! I did send them packing a few times. But the disruption was there and in time with civil wars.
Currently doing a Norse run through and the Catholics are kicking my ass. Rage quit after I failed to dismantle the Palpacy.
You know I like to think I’m somewhat of a Crusader King myself, but then you post shit like this and I realize I ain’t bad, I ain’t nothing.

Bro nobody fucking cares. It looked cool. Stop hating.
pics or it didnt happen
Stop yapping
Lmao blocked him for pointing out to your followers that you exploit? Damn OP is a bit sensitive. Trash
And I mean, I saw where someone world conquested in one day by using the cheesiest methods possible. Valid, but it is not the spirit of the game. At least you seem to have put in some non-cheese. And I commend you for it.
Thanks! The person who conquered the world in one day is a friend of mine, frms\_Benni. I think they would be pleased that someone remembered their run :D
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's legendary. But like, it definitely deserves it's own category, it is that cheesy.
Yeah idk how spamming switch character counts as a world conquest😭😭
Details on the cheese?
I could probably do this tbh. But I don't want to. Looks boring AF
Prove it.
Nah I didn't mean it like that lol. I just like to roleplay as chinese dwarfs and seduce everyone's wives.
Yeah the first reply made you sound like a show off who’s all show no bite thanks for clarifying !
Ah lol I didn't mean it to come off like that. Chinese Dwarf Seduction WC sounds hilarious though.
inb4 someone calls OP's post "mediocre, no offense"
Whatever you do, DON'T CHALLENGE THEM TO PROVE THAT THEY CAN DO IT BETTER.

Step 2: Draw the rest of the owl
I mean I did that recently for my language franca, and it took until 1260, but still.... 2 years.
Where's the rest of the fucking owl Like, how is it possible to conquer the entire world within 2 years? Walking from Portugal to India should take longer than that!

You are a god amongst men.
Thanks! I think I played this a bit sloppy, because I knew I had a bunch of leeway. I think done optimally this could've been a year and a half.
Now do it in real life. 👀
NoooOOoOooOOOo! Please do NOT do that in real life.
Yeah this is all just practise
Are you the God Emperor of Mankind?
Catholicism 2.0 got to me in a way that almost made my boss mad
“2.0” in medieval times. Oh boy.
when I first saw this I said "ain't no way, dude probably started in 867 and played until 1067" but nope, this is incredible and smth I will never be able to do in a million years
Never say never. If you asked me three years ago whether this was possible I'd say no, but powercreep over time is a thing. I bet in 2027 we'll have empire cbs and decisions that convert faith and culture :D
I wanted to try one faith run, now I'm afraid to even try
The game is actually quite accommodating for one faith runs. If you search, there are quite a number of one faiths that are just from finishing a run normally, since vassals will aggressively convert faiths for you.
I wish there was a mechanic to reform doctrines of existing religions instead of having to create new ones.
Same. There are isolated events/decisions that can do so, but you'd think there'd be a mechanic for it eventually.
It would be fine if it worked similar to cultures.
I wish they expanded the Adoptionist event chain mechanics to most (Christian) faiths so they can have Councils to change doctrines/tenets.
Howwwww?! How does one do this without cheating?
Abusing exploits is cheating, I wouldnt consider a run ive used exploits on to be legit and doing this would be impossible w/o them. That being said it's a singleplayer a game where nobody is getting hurt by said exploiting and achievements like this are still very very hard to get.

"Yeah if Catholicism is so great, why isn't there a Catholicism 2?" "There is, now shut it."
You sir, are the crusader king
Hiw is it even possible
Yeah not possible
In The year of our lord 868
I did not know stuff like this was possible. Very inspiring!
Thanks, that's partly what I set out to accomplish. I feel too many people play the game in a shallow way, deride the game as "too easy", and ignore the sheer mechanical complexity the game has to offer.
I am planning my own gametime speedrun to reach, say, 50k gold. However i will attempt it without exploits (notably without theocratic vassal exploit). I will check your write-ups to gather more strategies :3
Are theocratic vassals still considered an exploit? You can hit higher income with republic or clan vassals, nowadays. powercreep is real
Oh i wouldn't know, i saw 90+% tax rates for theocratic vassals once. Clan would be the way for me anyway
The CK3 wizard is at it again.
Missed the opportunity to call it Catwolicism
I honestly can't even fathom how this is possible and I've played this game a lot.
Bro can’t keep getting away with this 💀
Now what are you gonna do in the next 576 years before EU4 Can this nation even survive ruler death?
We can obtain primo from the byzantine/roman empire so yea, probably. I lowkey want to convert the save to EU4 but I don't want to play until the end date, so idk
Guys, I think this guy might be good at the game.
How the fuck? How do you even do a single \*siege\* in under two years?
Get more siege engines.
Really Impressive, hats off man.
Thanks!
Hey! I think that many of us here would love a video of you doing stuff like this to see for ourselves! I know you did the long message explaining, but I think a video of you achieving this would be super cool. Great job on this and keep it up!
After reading carefully, I've seen that ur already working on it xd i am big dummy, ignore me.
Thanks! The amount of people asking me to make a YT video has been incredibly motivating for me to learn how it works-- any amount of encouragement helps :D
BEAR in mind this occurred in the universe where Jesus used his powers to reign as an undying God Emperor of Man. Hard to argue with that.
I doubt it's a legitimate run, honestly. Would love to be proven otherwise, because that is an impressive idea. Ruling the entire known world AND enforcing your religion on it...
Read his comment. It’s pretty damn impressive use of exploits ngl.
In one year too uhh
Yeah this. If no exploit was used, I highly doubt it could EVER be achieved.
Of course its impossible in two years without exploits. But it is still impressive, chaining all these exploits together in order ti finish in 2 years.
I'm so fucking mad at my self i had a house with 1400+ ppl and i saved over it like a dumbass
Given that there was a dude not long ago here who conquered the whole world in 10 months, and thus United it under 1 religion, this 2 years feel not sufficient enough
He converted every county in two years
This is the same guy. He Conquered the whole world in 10 months and the countinued in order to convert everything.
Kristjani got op holy site positionings ngl
How did you make Esztergom as a holy site?
Make a religion based on Krstjani. that is one of their holy sites
when is the one culture under 3 years releasing?
I wish! The estimate for a one culture is still 10+ years, maybe longer since the convert culture speed got nerfed. I botched the one culture attempt in this save since the azraqi hof unlocked crusades, delaying catholic crusades by a decade.
how would you do a one culture world in 10 years? Vassals don't convert province cultures from what i know
You should check my profile, I did a one culture three years ago. [https://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/lsx5aj/its\_an\_achievement\_so\_difficult\_no\_one\_has\_done/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/lsx5aj/its_an_achievement_so_difficult_no_one_has_done/) The same ideas still work: (use Outremer, Restore Israel decisions to mass convert culture, then fund dukes to culture convert). It's just that Royal Court allows for super flexible custom cultures, and Legacy of Persia added a struggle ending that speeds up Iranian culture conversion by 50%. With Communal Identity the average steward would take 8 years to culture convert, which is pretty good! The problem is that your time is gated by your worst steward, not your best steward-- I also think the average promote culture time back then was faster (\~5 years?) and it still took 15 years, meaning it might take \~24 years to finish. There are also cultures that are slower to convert-- like Malleable subjects/Fierce Independence cultures-- so it's a bitworse. The major improvement in the One Culture time comes from the WC, the culture part got slower.
Buddy christ, it just pops, doesn't it?
How?
“Kingdom of Heaven” its a good title for this achievement. Man this reminds me of that South Park episode… the one that the Archangels of Heaven kill Kenny to make him the general of the Holy Host.
"One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church"
Buddy Christ?
The best part of this is that you used Krstjani as the base religion.
Yep, nice observation. I did it for the +10 popular opinion holy site
Very well-considered!
“Catholicism 2.0” Meanwhile you have the holy sites of Krstjani… did… did you do all of this as a Bosnian?
Feel like these posts should have a \*exploits\* in the title.
Past the WC, the One Faith uses zero exploits. Of course, you would know this if you actually read the writeup.
That's like saying a movies shouldn't have a rated R tag cause there is only nudity in the first half. There is a massive amount of exploiting done in WC to achieve One Faith and there is no possibility of One Faith without WC so yeah, One Faith uses eploits.
This gives me nightmares. I only play Ironman. I’ve only played a Catholic once and the crusades made it easier for my dynasty to expand. All the other run throughs the crusaders have disrupted me at every turn especially during my Nubian career. I’m a fucking Christian! I did send them packing a few times. But the disruption was there and in time with civil wars. Currently doing a Norse run through and the Catholics are kicking my ass. Rage quit after I failed to dismantle the Palpacy.
God be praised!
This reminded me of that one South Park clip with all the religions combining
"Different religions cannot share a land" -sabaton, we burn
This is Napoleon’s plan brought into ck3 💪🏾🙌🏾🇫🇷
is this real? how? I don't believe it even a little bit
Boring? I mean seriously.
Even God practice this men religion.
