How to Take Land in CK3

To take land in CK3, you need to declare war with a Conquest Casus Belli. There are many Casus Bellis you can use in CK3, but this one is the best for quick land grabs.

If you play as a Tribal ruler, you will have Conquest Casus Bellis on all of your neighbors. To declare war to take their land, here is what you need to do:

  1. Right-click on the flag of the ruler you want to conquer.
  2. Select the Declare War option.
  3. Choose the Casus Belli that suits your needs (If a Casus Belli has a big red exclamation mark, then you can’t use it at the moment).
  4. Declare War.

After you declare war, all you need to do is beat your enemies’ armies and conquer the territory you chose you wanted to get.

War is the best way to take land in CK3, as other ways are complicated and “gamey”. If you are at the start of your Crusader Kings journey, then you should first go through some wars and get the hang of the game.


That’s everything you need to know about how to take land in Crusader Kings 3!
