I'm a speedrunner for Paradox games. I also do guides and video essays. I learn languages too. I speak French, English, and Spanish, and bits and pieces of many other languages. I'm writing with simple syntax to save you time, since no one likes long-winded explanations... oh no I'm doing exactly what I was trying not to do; someone stop me before I take up the whole word limit.

I tend to give the kingdom of Wallachia to the Bulgarians and rename it Bulgaria, because by doing so I’m making that independent state of Bulgaria which is ruled by Bulgarians, the “true Bulgaria” thus damaging any Bulgarian territorial claims south of the Danube.
I think there’s interesting concepts and ideas, and I love how you addressed this. However, I don’t necessarily think to creolize a language, you need to have two consenting culture heads. Because with the example of Haitian Creole, it was more akin that the slaves picked up what they were forced to interact with. And with even Norman England, it was more that the English picked up the vocabulary of their ruling class. I also like the idea of being able to forcefully change the language of a culture. But that should be a far more difficult process, especially because the examples with the French and the British, that took hundreds of years and didn’t truly happen until modernity. If the Ummayads conquer a good chunk of Iberia, it basically makes the Iberian Struggle trivial. And probably too videogamey if you can just wipe out a culture’s language completely within one generation.
i can't wait for paradox games in the 22nd century where i can just simulate "the world if England and France were united by a feral turkic supersoldier with an iq of 13" and be the god of this blessed alternate reality 🙏
The quite like that you didn't focus on Richard the lionheart and more on the adopted son for the sake of in real history Richard did do some interesting things but he also didn't I feel like his contribution to the crusades was negligible at the best😊
Video Idea: A anglo saxon from northumbria fleeing the viking invasion of 867, travels across europe to the ural mountains, and establishes his own dynasty there
Other than the new mechanics and how the tours system conflicts very hard with the simple scripted RNG system of the firing event chains associated with the unique adventures starts in 1066, the rest of the DLC is pretty solid. BTW Adventures used to be more OP before the patch, where if you started in the 12th century start you'd still wipe landed armies 4 times your size. However after the patch, yeah you fall off hard after 1160 as a Mercinary, I'd recommend not playing a merc fo4 the 3rd start date onwards. I'd say the Norman, Turkic and Alan Horse Mercenary bands of the 11th century were the last hoo rah of powerful roaming bands both historically and in the game itself also.
Now I can't stop thinking about Richard the Lion heart throat singing now as he scalps the head of Saladin Dingri Dingri Dingri Whistle....... Richard Haaaaaaaaaaan
Wait... sooooo... chat's decision to adopt the boy actually saved your run then... Richard got unalived by his brother which had left u in the gameover screen without that adoption.
I did have my other son Miles, but they saved the run content-wise for sure lol. It was much more enjoyable to play a child adventurer with a backstory like Baytursun than to play lame ol' Miles
Very interesting idea. How about a lone adventurer just going around trying to seduce the queens of empires? Make his bloodline rule Europe through interesting means.
