Crusader Kings 3 - THE ANTI-POPE EXPERIENCE 

**Experience "Better Catholicism!" (It's my religion).** It's my personal ambition to start exploring more segments from here on out - what would you like to see next? Oblivion, Starsector, or Kenshi?

Imagine how successful Martin Luther could have been if he marketed it as "Better Catholicism" instead of "Protestantism"

He looks so old despite being 25 years old because of all his wisdom

I believed you when you said you were Catholic but when you said "Are we supposed to stand or kneel now? Please put the pews up" I really knew I could trust you

Single follower: Me Many followers: Yes I am a Me, an Enhanced Catholic, and together with other Yes we spread the word of Better Catholicism.

Fun fact: Saint Peter asked to be crucified upside down as he felt unworthy to die as Jesus did, so the upside down cross could be seen as okay?

I do like the implication that his parents actually named him "I'mthepope notyou"

"Please stop fighting with the others" is an amazing name for the holy roman babysitter.

It's never a video without a sponge bob reverence

“We’ll call them Karens” That’s hilarious considering the fact that this game has an actual Karen dynasty in northeastern Iran that also has a fringe religion

11:52 "Karens eagerly await the prophesied arrival of their Pope..." Of course they do, they want to speak to Better Catholicism's manager

The “are we supposed to stand or kneel now” resonates with me, but seriously tho, stand or kneel right now priest man?

All I can think of is the Oversimplified scene with Henry the 8th as a child: "I'm the supreme head of the church, Screw the Pope!"

This is the fastest I've ever gone to church

I can only imagine what AA's neighbours think when they hear him chanting "Antipope, antipope" :D

You could've just used the name 'Jesus the Unorthodox'

When you have super high piety and learning, demanding conversion of your vassals is probably the best way to spread a faith

Sounds like a movie from 2009. The Pope dies so they have to get his brother, Frank Pope, to take his spot. Played by Zach Galifianakis

19:59 The fact that you beat the pope in *Benevento* of all places makes me so, so proud of you

You know he's actually a Catholic when his house motto is "Don't question it"

When you’re the son of the head of a new religion and you’re born when they’re busy: Guess I’m Squidward now 😔

I almost started to question it, but then I remembered to not to.

Looks like Tom Hanks playing a role where he actually acts and doesn't just play Tom Hanks...again.

AA, as a long time fan ever since some of your earliest Rimworld playthroughs, I love seeing you play a Paradox game, strive for more games you enjoy making content about, we'll be here to support you!

8:21 casually obtains a claim to Rome. While building his own religion truly a tragic hero.

That intro and the bgm at the start makes me think that I was at the wrong channel (especially the part where you go "we're going to create a new religion. Yes! A new religion!) and thought it was going to be a totally balanced gameplay of crusader kings

Really happy to see a creative CK3 run. I love this game, but most creators don't have very entertaining ways to play it. Kudos AA.

You should do a playthrough with all the negative traits.

"Dad...? Why is my name 'Reminder: Disinherit later'?" "Ask me again when you turn 18."

"He looks like Santa Claus" Me: "He looks like Gandalf with a dwarven nose..."

"I have gained weight recently. Time to start a new religion." Most modern quote ever.

Jesus, John Paul II on the picture.. there is whole industry in Poland of making memes about that guy xD

“Please stop complaining- it’s very distracting to Jesus.” I’m gonna tattoo this onto my forehead 😂

I just found your channel the other day. I was watching a Sims 1 video that you did, I think I'm going to have to subscribe.

You are once again here to grace my ears with the poetry you call gameplay

You missed the opportunity to call it “Pre-alpha Protestantism.”

"Trust me I'm a Catholic!" Hm... sounds theologically legit to me!

"Single Follower: Me" "Many Followers: Yes" Love it :D

I think the Holy Site in Cologne is Kölner Dom, a massive cathedral housing the Dreikönigsschrein. The reliquary is a triple sarcophagus believed to house the bones of the Three Wise Men. It was originally located in Constantinople, but Emperor Constantine decided to house it in Milan. Almost one thousand years later, Kaiser Barbarossa of the Holy Roman Empire decided that it should be in Cologne. The timeline doesn't match very well, but I am not super familiar with the Holy Roman Empire, so this is the closest match I got. Now as far as I know, the Wise Men in question were never specified in number, but it might be part of Catholic doctrine, I cannot say.

... you are allowed to *say anything my friend. That voice could never do wrong. Also crush the empire! Blood for the blood god! LET CHAOS RAIN!

“Please remember to put up the pews after mass” Holy smokes that got me good haha

technically speaking, the other pope became the Anti-Pope when you took Rome

If you set one of the skills to 69 in the character creator, the rank will change to "nice"

Irl an Emperor of the HRE was declared the anti Christ obviously he wasn't but thanks to CK you can make that shit canon.

Amphibian: wants to create a new religion Also amphibian: chose zealous trait Me: Oh no

I think your opening line of this video is why I been enjoying your videos so much. Although I find project zomboid to have less narrative game play elements, but the game you typically play allow you flourish with your interpretations and ate genially enjoyable.

Thank god you're uploading another CK3 video. You've got to be my favorite youtuber, you play literally every game I do it's pretty badass.

"It's like fidget spinners" is my favorite quote ever

The music, the game choices, the commentary, you sir are the coffee drinking version of The Spiffing Brit!

A game where you have fun, is a video where we have fun, games I have never watched before I have now because of this channel. Love the content!

It's about time you got into Crusader Kings! Hope to see more of this game in the future

"It's like affiliate marketing but for a new religion" is a line that shows that this is a channel you come to for the narration but you stay at for the humor.

“It’s very expensive to have a heretical religion” Mormonism would like to have a word

This feels like a Mr. Streamer inspired fever dream and I love it

AmbiguousAmphibian: *wants a nice clean schism* Also AmbiguousAmphibian: *launches crusades against the papacy*

"he's been trying to avoid the working world as long as possible" you just summed up my 20's in a single sentence.

You basically made the God-Emperor if he was totally self-absorbed and just wanted to shitpost.

The first minute of the video really got me in a Catholic mood! Don't question, just pray. Thanks Amphibian!

I very much enjoyed this, i'd love to see ya play it more as long as you continue to enjoy playing it!

Ah, the famous credo "Don't question it" - the motto of House Zedong, later adopted by House Jinping! And also, of course, a great many other houses around the world.

The title alone makes me consider popcorn for breakfast. 🍿

AA just made Gandalf and called him the Pope

Love you doing CK content. Even if its just short form one shots like this video, its a welcome addition from my point of view 👍

Ive been waiting for you to do crusader kings, I'd love it if you did more games from paradox, like Victoria or Hoi4

I can't believe it took me this long to realize that he sounds like kermit. I can't believe myself.

Hello. I represent the notification squad. And in the name of the notification squad....... I declare ancestral right to your lands and demand you concede them to us based on these *totally legitimate* historic documents

Man, the Berard bit was by far the best! "Berard? More like, Belongs in the Trash. I'll just call him Squidward..."

There's a tenet that increases learning experience gain btw. Can gain more skill points overall that way. Quicker completion of learning lifestyle options so sooner you switch lifestyle choices.

Beautiful. An inverse of this where you start as a backwater count with negative traits and become emperor would be a hard challenge. You would want to do tribal pagan or Islamic clan for casus belli. A RU-vidr started as a eunuch in ck2 with the challenge to restore his manhood, for example. If you continue this challenge you really need to give away some of your personal holding - make new vassals or give to your sons. You get a severe penalty to income and levy size across all holdings when you are over the limit. IIRC it's 20% reduction per holding over.

I feel like I took a wrong turn and landed on Spiff's channel. Those kinds of shenanigans with that music feels like a trademark at this point.

This is a blessing to find a ambiguoussamphibian video newly made. *preprare the popcorn*

Loving the CK3. As for ideas you could always pull off some Viking Shenanigans and country hop your way/Varangian adventure to Africa or something, lol. I hear Manding & Ghana have some juicy gold mines in them.

Thank you for blessing my night

11:57 Don't you hate when you're announcing your new religion to the medieval world and you get a phone call?

I love how you sound like you're ready to burst out laughing throughout the entire video

Lots of fun to watch you play games with your own spin, I'd like to see more CK3

Notification from RU-vid! This video has now been banned from the Vatican 😎

I'mthepope, a truly ideal papal name.

Didn't expect an 11th-century domino effect to happen

The "stand or kneels thing" is something I always wonder because it seems to always change

This is everything I have wanted.

"I try to remember what is in cologne..." me as a german slightly offended

I love the fact that he always sounds like he has no idea what's happening, even though he's actively following his plan! XD

I love this game. One moment I'm conquering all the land, spreading my faith and culture, setting strategic alliances. Then my ruler dies and law of succession tears my realm apart and opposing rulers take advantage of the ensuing chaos to invade me. It's challenging and a lot of fun.

Shit dood you're literally starting in my hometown that's awesome

aa conveniently cutting off when faced with the topic of same sex relationships and just keeping it shunned

I have been wanting to see this! Please do more!

“The better to smell you with” Jesus imagining that face saying that to you is straight up nightmare inducing 😂

Just get done with my first day of playing crusader kings to see AA made a crusader kings video

YESSSSSSS HE IS PLAYING ALL THE GAMES I PLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your pronunciation of Orbetello was excellent

"We don't want to get into all that stuff Martin Luthor did because we are righteous." almost made me cut the end of my finger off while making dinner

This looks good... *Motto: "Don't question" So... same thing again?

That name was divinely inspired

Forget becoming antipope, this man's appearance makes me want to RP as santa claus.

I completely lost it at the first mention of the name "I'mthepope No'tyou" xD

"Pope be gone! By a can now!"

4 minutes long of deep philosophy just for character creation. Eventually look like a hermit worth of 20-30 years old of lushful beard and hair, while just 25 years old. This is the content i subscribed for.

the greatest thing in CK is realizing that actual history is prettty close to this.

Now, THIS is the quality content I've come to expect to be frabjously surprised by on t
