I Conquered RUSSIA as the MOST POWERFUL VIKING in all of Crusader Kings 3 

In 2023 can we get a birthday stream?

Happy New Year!

Next time you should start from the duchy where Gammalsvenskyby would be located and first form Ukraine, then expand through the future Belarus and take control of Moscow.

Happy New Year!

I was really curious about the game play of this russians separate kingdons, the real history of this places is sick 😎😵‍💫 Happy new year!

We gotta get him out of there!

I am trying to oppress the editor even further so he can submit to the will of our lord and savior Koifish.

The funeral ship he had made was so great that he had to go with his father.

@@himarei They just put him on the same boat, a 2 for 1 trip to Valhalla.

I went from him to gardariki, and then stole constantinople from the eastern romans, rather than playing peaceful I fought kazaria and won

So, ally your papa and uncle?

this! I mean why would you bother doing anything else when you can overtake kazaria and then pick the byzantines apart one duchy at a time... take by the sword tradition as soon as possible and boom, world conquest job done!@@user-qe8oc8vj3e

What would it even actually be a combo of though?

@@glaz5228 Of East Slavic and Norse

@@fjkcat1815 but it's not tho. It's East Slavic with little influence from Norse, only the name Rus and some other stuff due to being ruled by Norse but they're still East Slavic

@@fjkcat1815 bro russian culture existed before Rurik came

While the Rus was founded by vikings, the vikings assimilated into East Slavic culture rather than fusing with it. Probably because the viking way of life was not relevant in a more landlocked situation

I always immediately varangian adventure next to the byzantine, become a religiously protected vassal, then form varangian culture by hybridizing Greek and norse

I assume he got bored of playing non vikings

Dyre should be a starting character tbh I don't know of any other start where you get a genius and one of the best counties on the map right off the bat

@@SkilledKill he used to be in CK2

Meanwhile in ancient Primary Chronicle... "И пошли за море к варягам, к руси. Те варяги назывались русью, как другие называются шведы, а иные норманны и англы, а еще иные готландцы, - вот так и эти." Not swed, not norman, not angle (brit), not gotlander. Of course that Chronicle was written from other accords and could be... not so accurate... especially about really old time.

@@user-xw5xo3bv1n what historians say about the varangian rus people is that they came from Roslagen an eastern coastline where svear came from in todays Stockholm and when they went to todays Finland and Russia they said thats the place they came from and thats why finnish people dont say Sweden but Routsi/Roslagen insted, in the oldest meaning of the name routsi it is land of rowers and they belive thats where rus came from. Also the early rus said that they where svear to Louis the pious when they left Byzantine with a delegation from constantinopel and met him and he asked them, If I remember correct. Then there was someone of the rurikins they dna tested and he shared dna with swedes and there was the bracelets and some other things i belive they found in Kremlin that had swedish-slavic style. So with all info we have about them, they where svear from Roslagen and there is nothing really that says otherwise.

​@@user-xw5xo3bv1n chronicle is completely off point, it's just a typical medieval legend, glorifying the family root. There was even no Novgorod on Ilmen at the time of Rurik.

​@@huginmunin8253 Krelmin has nothing to do with Rus and didn't exist at that time, what kind of evidences you told of? And no, it couldn't be about Roslagen particularly, it's just a hypothesis trying to tie names. Rus word is most probably of Slavic origin, because other Varangians weren't called Rus, neither generally, nor in such places as Polotsk, by the time of Rogvold. Nothing was called Eus apart from Kiev-region, however Varangians were at many places. (doesn't change the fact that Kievan dynasty and their host are Scandinavian)

@@greatsarmatae My evidence is from historians, chronicles and other type of sources. Also what i said about Kremlin was that they found swedish-slavic style of things, and it was built by rurik dynasty and it did exist in kievan-rus rus era and later destroyed by mongols (not completly i think) and later rebuilt, it just the walls as they are now started after kievan-rus. Yes rus is obvious a slavic word i have never said anything else and why cant it mean Roslagen original? , but what the most accepted origin of the word is that they borrowed it from finnish peoples name for the place svearna came from Routsi which they borrowed from svearna to name them, of course not all varangians where called rus because not all norse people came from same place and the original varangians where svear and later others where called it because they joined varangian guard.

Time of Troubles happened in Muscovy, not Rus.

Even till now only two start dates. Think kn ck2 there were more. Personally I would like a 911 start where Rollo is getting ready to invade Normandy. Guthrum is the Earl of East Anglia. Erik Bloodaxe is controlling Danelaw. Uhtred the bold is active. Many more... Other start date could be a first Crusade start date. You can play as one of the crusader Lords who own nö land - Bohemond starts from Taranto Godfrey of Bouillon starts from Bouillon. Raymond of Toulouse from there. Hugh of Vermandois. Robert Curthose can start as disinherited but the Duke of Normandy. Lastly, Stephen of Blois who if he succeeds can start with a pressed claim to England as well. Would also like if Tancred Hautevillebalso had a start That would be awesome
