Learn the Hit and Run strategy in Crusader Kings III to defeat enemies early game by attacking and retreating before they can retaliate.

This is the most common strategy in the early parts of Crusader Kings III, when you can't afford to take damage from the enemies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Send your men after your target and attack him.
  2. 2
    When you see smoke fuming out of the enemy's head, press the B button to order a retreat.
  3. 3
    Your men should be able to escape before the enemy attacks.
  4. 4
    Once the enemy has finished his attack, send your men back in and repeat this pattern until he is dead.

Another way to hit and run is to attack and run away. The enemy will give up its chase after a short distance, allowing you to attack again when he seems to have forgotten about you.

Tips
  • This strategy is most effective when you cannot afford to take damage from enemies.
  • Use the B button to order a retreat when you see smoke fuming from the enemy's head.
  • The enemy will eventually stop chasing if you run away, allowing for another attack.
