Attempting to form the MOST DIFFICULT Empire in Crusader Kings 3 

I haven't heard about Clash of Clans for awhile

@@justsomeperson8806 That's why they have been sponsoring people recently

No, but I’m glad to see you getting sponsorships from more mainstream stuff!

Become chakravarti in India. I tried to do it and lost so many times. My challenge is that you have to do it without loading saves.

Please, do not take the Lord's name in vain. "OMG" and things like that.

Nice

“Britain is lame, I’m going to Arabia” based

I'm about to form viking Carthage as a descendant of Haesteinn all I wanted was an Iberian Danelaw

@@Makarosc Haesteinn is too good. I jumped all the way to India and reconquered my way back to Montague with my war elephants.

@@MinecraftRealm713 I became a an Asatru Jarl under a Muslim then declared independence formed Aragon then conquered a chunk of Algeria and he lived to 108 would've conquered more if I didn't have to do it County by county

lmao I was really hoping he would've noticed that and just noped out and be like "not dealing with that"

"[Forming an alliance with HRE is] probably not that useful for us, because I don't really feel under threat by anyone..." Best part is that if you pay attention to just before the transition from that bit line to him talking about how fat his ruler was becoming, his cursor is lingering on the state of the Mongol Empire at the time.

Yeah while playing i just slowly kept an eye on them, got lucky they didnt just launch a full on invasion on all my land ngl haha

@@SnapStrategy So i tried to do the same campaign as you but i did not have the mine at the start nor could i build it do you know why? If u could answer.

@@ZestyZenki the mine is in southern sardinia, in judicadu I believe

Facts

The only reason the kingdom was established in the first place was because the Muslims were infighting. The first crusade actually united them against a common foe. Also the King of Jerusalem was a major dick to other kings so no one wanted to help him out, it wasn’t the other infighting within Europe

Catholic infighting is a tale as old as time, thats like asking for it to stop raining.

Denominations

Its unrealistic to expect an undisciplined mob to behave, that includes nobles with no established hierarchical structure and no one to answer to. The crusades were at like a massacre and then a few centuries of stalemate, ultimately causing the fall of the Roman Empire to the muslims. The Reconquista of Spain was a lot more successful

Irony, I spent a good hour last night taking Jerusalem from a fellow Catholic throwing the region into complete chaos.

i know! getting to around 1200AD there always seems to me just some random massive empire haha

One time I watched the HRE manage to end up with a claim on Byzantium through a marriage with the Makedons, then they pressed it and won and it somehow stayed together through the whole game.

Not just that, but it is under the Hauteville dynasty...that is pretty based

Ironic that it's not commonly played despite it being the games namesake

@@LWolf32 because the game has virtually no content despite it being almost three years old 🥲

@@staymad2792 Big facts. Fingers crossed for CK3AGOT.

@@staymad2792 I'm surprised they didn't just keep a lot of the content from CK2 at launch.

@Jean Sanchez I never got to experience CK2 but I heard content was lacking for the first little bit of it life cycle. And honestly I have never really seen companies keep content in their sequel they always resale as dlc in the next game

I was so surprised 😂

I think they should give you a special building in some way

This game’s prices and rewards are stupidly wack. 150 gold for a religious trinket but I restore Rome, form Outremer, or some other grand empire and I get peanuts…

​@@duncanharrell5009at least with rome you get a hereditary trait and gain cores on all empires you currently own. Outremer, you get a nickname and the cores, that's it, would be cool if your character that formed the empire got canonized as a saint, your dynasty could get a good modifier

win

played myself :(

I love COC

What chatgpt bot nonsense is this?

@@grimrider3807 He’s getting likes ain’t he? I can’t hate the A.I. when it’s doing it’s job lol

At my work I have a 30 man clan break room is buzzing on war day

I once searched Giant COC on Google because I wanted to learn more about it, the result were.... interesting

oh yeah true! if i had even thought of that i would have done it haha!

pepe ISP true god

Thankyou so much! :)

Not really difficult just would take you so long to get it just painting the map and suddenly you got there.

@@Bixmy nah it is hard. You face so many rebellions because you have to make a faith that isnt pacifist in order to conquer lands, so you’re constantly trying to be overthrown by every other faith

@@LTD538 its not really hard thou if you build up properly and do a proper birth control/proper heir management in the early stage of the game which is a usual thing with any play through its not hard.

@@LTD538 its even easier when they have alot of religion in one place they are alot weaker.

Well that might be just me. I might be the one that played too much ck3. I didnt usually face these kind of problem after 500h now im on 4khour on ck3. Most vassal rebel are put off even before it started and levy rebel sucked they are too easily dealt with

the Fatimids, who were Shia, tried to side with the crusaders, so it’s not that strange I guess. I’m sure the crusaders would have seen a lot more success if they turned the Shias and Sunnis against each other

@@monkeymoment6478 That's a nice tidbit of information. Altho it's one thing when one powerful state allies one of hostile faith, and other thing when religious head is vassal of hostile religious state. Frankly I felt a bit sad when he didn't vassalised-conquerd sunni caliph also. That would be certified funni moment. He should also make them one count minors and border eachother.

​@@monkeymoment6478 the shias of egypt and seljuk sunnis were against each other though.. that was the whole point behind the fatimid caliph aligning himself with the crusaders, so they could team up against the seljuks. Of course, if the fatimids knew the true intentions of the crusaders and the waves of men brewing up in western europe, they probably would have taken a different position towards them. The crusades would have undoubtedly failed if the muslims were the looming monolith the catholics thought they were. Instead, you had sectarianism and factionalism across the numerous sultanates, emirates and even caliphates (baghdadi and cairene versions)

Yea, I saw that too. I wonder how that has happened

Love playing as Norse, before you launching your casus belli you could just go in with Raid stance smash their provinces and army.. Belief it was that decision that allowed you to raid as a Feudal faction didnt it?

@@gypsyg9612 Eh, playing as the norse is just playing the game on easy mode. It lost its novelty to me after a couple dozen norse games. Very boring.

@@monkeymoment6478 Agree, usally do it if I am going for some short game and then Monn atleast gives some quick goal to get.. I would argue any raiding faction is typically very easy..

How many ducks have you gotten already? I am sure if you breed some you can easily get 4 more duckies.

@@Kozkayn I can but the duckies in that area stopped quaking so they are harder to find.

@@anthonyduggan4104 Tough luck

Good question 🤔

Thanks! :)
