I Played as the MOST LEGENDARY KNIGHT in Crusader Kings 3 Roads to Power! 

The Bad El Cid Ending >No Valencia >Loyal to a king who murdered the rightful ruler his brother >Seduced famous married lady sovereigns >Lost his only crusade >Dies of illness in the Baltics >No successors >Camp sank into obscurity in the Sea

Finally koifish just doing casual things as last living viking

his real name was actually Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. El Cid was a nickname given by the Arabs in Spain to him, which came from the Arabic Al-Sayyid (El Cid) which translates to, "the Lord or the Sir". He has an insane story and dies in 1099. As soon as he dies, Spain goes to shit for a bit it's quite insane. There's a video documentary by Kings and Generals iirc, very good highly recommend if ur into history

Ngl the story was amazing. A wrongfully exiled knight goes on an adventure throughout Spain to be then rehonored and then move on to Italy in search for love, only for her to die as he was on his back from Valencia. Heart broken with grief he lost taste for the foods he once enjoyed. In grief but not broken, he then moved onto the HRE and in the marketstalls he met the Empress, a beautiful sight for his Castillian eyes, he tried to elope but alas was found out. His 2nd lover now imprisoned, fleeing back to Spain in hopes to find comfort in a friend, only to find out his friend has disappeared 4 years ago while he was in the HRE. Old friends and aquiantances though flock to him and greet his return and inform him the king has left a daughter, and it was dire times. So he does what he does best. Fight. Pushing back the muslim invaders and securing his friend's daughter's queenship and being graciously rewarded in silver and gold. With coffers full, a thousand strong army of veterans and his loyal friends and nephew by his side, nothing it would seem to stop him. And there the pope calls for a crusade into the northern fringes. El Cid's eyes gleam with enthusiasm, another war to fight and against pagans. An opportunity to finally settle and win favor in the eyes of God. Gold, God and Glory! he shouted to his mercenary company. All cheered and set sailed for Prussia. But alas, the crusade was doomed, heavy winds delayed many of the Crusaders, only El CId's company and a few hundred men from the HRE arrive to the border and shores of Prussia. Outnumbered and outmatched, El Cid would find his nephew dead, many of his loyal veterans gone and most of his treasure lost. He himself wounded, and contracting typhus in the cold north, he then gets delivered some more depressing news, the crusade has failed and many of the crusaders have gone turning home. Depressed and saddened. El Cid decided to sail off to Sweden, maybe there he could find peace. With whatever silver and gold he had left, he boarded a ship to Sweden, but alas unbeknowsnt to him, he would die of his infection enroute to Sweden. There he was given a burial at sea. For no one knew El Cid in the cold fringes of the North. To the sailors he was but a lowborn adventurer or a lost crusader.

00:36 - Not El Cid dancing in front of chained Matilda in dungeon...

In my playthrough I united the Spanish kingdoms under El Cid, married his irl wife, captured Jerusalem in the first crusade, then placed his daughter as its Queen and finally created a pretty good Legend for him. He was still a beast when he died at 70. The Sid is possibly my favourite CK3 character so far.

EL CID CAMPEADOR 🎺🎺🎺🎺

Hello, I'm from Spain and my grandmother told me the song of The My out Cid. During the time in which the kingdom was divided, his friend King Sancho won over his brothers, but died under mysterious circumstances. and his brother ascended the throne. He took the new king's hand and made him swear on the Bible that he had had nothing to do with his brother's death. When the king swore, the cid knelt down and swore loyalty to him. After this and other disagreements, the cid was banished. But such was his expertise on the battlefields that both Muslims and Christians began to follow him. The Muslims called him siddi = Cid which means my lord. Faced with this, the cid refused and continued to be loyal to his king, which is why he handed over part of the loot and all the conquests to his king, the same one who banished him. In the end the Cid wall defending Valencia from the Moors but his legend does not end there, his wife Ximena put his corpse on top of her horse with her sword. When the Muslims saw the cid returning from the dead to counterattack, the enemies withdrew

"Welcome Rodrigo. The tournament awaits only your arrival to begin."

A legend has returned( just be honest Koifish, you just wanted to play the music again )

Runs into the most beautiful woman he's ever seen > gets rejected > proceeds to never find lasting love because he only pursues women married to homicidal monarchs... CLASSIC lolol 😂

I was afraid I wouldn’t hear the trumpets in an El Cid playthrough for about 55 seconds. Then I was relieved.

This voice….I know this voice….it’s quite lovely

i had been looking for the old video about el cid but couldnt find it, but koifish answers with a brand new EL CAMPEADOR video

9:07 man that must be some heavy wood chopping... Sore muscles for 5 years, holy cow...

Thanks for the Morrowind OST

This DLC is the best CK3 DLC, it may even be the best Crusader Kings DLC in general. Now all they need is playable republics and I think CK3 may have actually surpassed CK2 for me.

Fun fact there is a easter egg in the new dlc that allows you to form a anglo-saxon coloni in the caucasus.

Whos up for a switch from nordic gigachad Haeinstienfnsf to the Hiberian sigma male El Cid Campeador???

Cant wait for the next part!

Yes el Campeador Viva España

Great video!

Another great video!

The second I heard "El Cid" I got transported back to young me playing through his AOE2 campaign.

El Cid calls! My like follows!

always a pleasure

May the algorithm be always in your favor, Jarl Koisfish

Played Rodrigo in the New DLC myself.. pretty good.. but life as an adventurer gets pretty tedious after awhile..

man i read the title and thought this was gonna be a William Marshall playthrough lol

When he said "🎺 EL CID CAMPEADOR 🎺" I felt that

The Lord-Commander of the Battlefield is such an insanely hard nickname

Cid campeador *of montaigue*

Take a shot every time he says El Cid Campeador

Haesteinn is angry

Matilda !!!!!

10/10 due the trumpets

CK3 updates ought to be more roleplay focused and less simulator focused. This was such a great video!

For the algorithm!

25:29 Plin Plin Plon

very good video

How was he not able to say Pedro 3 times? He went Pedro Pedro Perdo Fernandez 😂

EL CID CAMPEADOR!

uyuyuyuyuuyyuuyuyuyuyuyuyuu uyuyuyuyyu thx for not editing out ❤

The sounds this guy makes sometimes, man! 😂😂😂

El cid!

More like EL Simp Campeador

Well if he's so great how come I've never heard of him?

I couldnt stop laughing 😂 m'i the only one to find it fun ? Lmao

Im spanish and "Campeador '" isn't champion in spanish, that would be "campeón" . "Campeador" would translate to Camper

Pedro pedro pedro fernandez 😆

So my first try with him was well mediocre. I got to his desicion and to the swan knight desicion. Couldnt become conquerer and somehow could overthrow the county of valencia. It was my second try on a landless ruler, it went better but still lot of improvements to get.

I think you misspoke- you meant to say "El Cid, Koi-mpeador". 😉

Love the IPL music 😂

Its too bad the player character's prowess only counts for duels and other events. Would be so cool to play as El Cid and see howany hundreds of kills he can get in battle.

Can you do a video with bianca savazzi from the game ?

Yay

Can you get the conqueror trait as el cid I tried a few times and couldn’t get there so I decided to play as a wandering Jew instead

Finaly

Da da da da da DAAAAA!

Me when im a knight

Sorry, I might have missed the nickname of the character ... Can you please repeat me here below?

POV the Bad Ending

El cid is a half historical, half legendary figure of the Spanish reconquista, think like Richard lionheart, he was a true person but most definitely wasn't as great and outstanding as portrayed that is the result of trobadours making a story interesting, in the story el cid is exiled as the whole city watches him leave thinking that he was a true honourable knight and the king made a mistake by exiling him, from there he leaves to fight many battles against the arabs in the skirmishes between petty lords that little by little led to the recomquista, almost all his battles where in extreme disadvantage with him pulling victory through martial might and strategical superiority, the arabs are little more than faceless godless heathens, instead of the actual high science civilization they were being the most developed people during those ages, so if you are looking for a historical description of the reconquista , don't do it here, this is just a story about a super knight killing people to regain the trust of his king. Funfact:A very common phrase in the story being muttered by everyone when el cid appears is "el Cid campeador, que a buena hora ciño espada" which CK3 appears to have translated to "born in a good hour" but in reality it's more similar to " who at a good hour grabbed a sword " why this change is beyond me, maybe to help the epitaph sound better I don't know, anyways those who like knight stories similar to the ones in England but have already gone through those, check the Spanish ones, we have a lot, not everything is don quijote, which was in fact a critique to thos very same stories And yes it is in fact mandatory by law to say el cid campeador in an aggressively andalussian accent with trumpets in the background despite him being from castille

What mods are you using to create the custom followers?

Norman adventure to sicily please

Can someone give me a link of the dis koi? I want to join but there’s no link in the description

Mr.Koifish please do not support Paradox because console players are still waiting for the chapter 2 dlcs after this long

"No dishonorable things" - The first thing they do in the Cantar is trick some Jew loaners to get the money to pay his men.

🎺

👍🏻

Do a Marco Polo inspired episode

Play Haestein as adventurer

Should have married Sancho's widow or daughter.

Ensin

campeador no es torero es experto en campo de batalla
