Your reluctance towards empires got me thinking about an A to Z series for you: Create every single empire in the game both existing and decision empires!
As far as I know, you never ride the horse yourself in the horse race. It's your horse, and you're employing a courtier to ride it for you. This is the in-game description of the event: "A spectator sport in which lords and ladies enter horses to race against each other, with the winner being the first to cross the finishing line."
Yeah. I love plaing as either Saka or Tocharian Manichean, forging my own, isolated kingdom in Tarim basin. You just feel so alien towards all your neighbours.
I had never heard of this faith before, so a quick wiki check later and all I can say in the creation story/stories are pretty wild, especially how Adam and Eve are... spawned(?) 😅
I looked for some info and that religion is super strange, they believe in God, Zoroaster, Buddha and Jesus! It also had a big population of followers from China to Spain at the Roman times but we are not sure if they have any followers today.
I've seen some hints online that there are a few followers in China but they tend to be secretive and keep to themselves to avoid problems with the authorities.
Do you have some cosmetic mods installed? I've seen some of the clothing choices you've got in your videos and have not seen them in the game in my time playing
Hi, vídeo idea, start at the duchy of kanto japan (with more bookmarks), creating a character named ash ketchum and conquer all of the regions to become the best (japan, england, french and spain)
I find no matter the spymasters skill its hard to find secrets in the first few years because no one has any yet. Background events haven't happened so no one has any.
Hi Snap, hope you've had a Nadolig Llawun! (Hope its right). Do you have a discord channel where people are free to type and chat on? I'm following your server but I'm fairly restricted is this normal or am I showing my age here?
No, the Zoroastrianism did not get suppressed by Chinese, and it even became the most popular religion during Tang dynasty. However Chinese fail to helping the last Persian Zoroastrianism prince after defeated by Islamic army. The religion has mixed into Chinese local religion and the last temple remains in Shanxi province.
I really, really want to love this game but I just can't seem to get it passed a few generations without everything falling apart. Stellaris max difficulty? no problem. Same with literally every 4x game I've ever played. This one's a tough nut to crack though. Feel like part of my issue is expanding too rapidly but idk. I'll keep watching your playthrus and hope to someday git gud.
ItalianSpartacus and PartyElite, as well as Snap, are some of my favorite RU-vidrs for guides on CK3, especially the former 2. I’d recommend watching their vids, they’ve got whole playlists on them. I’m by no means an expert at this game, but when I first started a few months ago I was completely overwhelmed, now everything seems more manageable. Good luck :)
Have the exact opposite issue. I can’t play normal mode stellaris without lagging behind most of the AI, meanwhile I can boot up CK3, make an entire empire from a single county in 2 generations, then get bored of my own intense power creep, and get off.
Manichaeism belongs to the Gnostic teachings( the people that fought the Apostles of Jesus and we're kind of like the new agents of their day but we're also responsible for writing fake gospels like Mary Magdalene famous Judas and Peter just to name a few which were all written hundreds of years after the Gospels and fun fact Muhammad found some of those Gnostic writings and put them in the Quran) and they also were the ones that originally created arianism which is the old name for the Jehovah Witnesses so I hope you like my history lesson😅 someone who likes history and studying cults you've piqued my interest with this video
