Knowing your ministers

Learn how to effectively use your ministers in Crusader Kings III! Understand their roles, unlock kingdom plans, manage buildings, and track quests with this essential guide.

Alright, let's talk about your ministers in Crusader Kings III. These folks are super important right from the get-go, helping you shape your kingdom. You've got three main advisors who swear loyalty to King Corobo as soon as you take the crown: Howser, Verde, and Liam. Each one does something different, and you can call on them anytime by sitting on your throne. Just pick the minister you want from the menu that pops up and hit A!

First up is Howser. This guy's been waiting ages for a proper king like you! He's your go-to for all things related to kingdom development. Through the 'Kingdom Plans' option, you can build new structures across your realm or grab power-ups for yourself and your subjects. Buildings are sorted by region, so you just pick the area, choose what you can afford, and confirm. The game handles placing them automatically, and remember, each building can only be built once.

Howser also lets you peek into the 'Suggestion Box' where your subjects share their thoughts. Keep an eye out for quests here! They're marked with a five-star difficulty rating. Read the description to get the gist, then press A to accept. You can track these quests later via the field menu's 'Quest' option, which will point you in the right direction.

Next, we have Verde. She's a close friend of Corobo and, fittingly, handles your game saves. She's your records minister, so whenever you need to save your progress, she's the one to talk to. Verde can also give you the lowdown on your kingdom's stats, like how many people are in each job class and who's feeling the love (or hate) towards you.

Finally, there's Liam, your 'Anything Minister'. This big fella is your personal tutor. When you call him over, he'll walk you through various aspects of the game, offering helpful tutorials to get you up to speed on different mechanics.
