Don't worry. Rebellions everywhere are historically accurate for Rome so you are on the right track.

"I'm reclaiming Rome I cant play right now!" Laith 2022

"The Barbaricate is the name sometimes used to refer to the period in West Roman history between the reconquest of Ostrogothic Pannonia in 479 and the recapture of Central Italy, including the former capitals of Ravenna and Rome, in 565. The Barbaricate was defined by the controversial policy begun under Julius Nepos of subjugating the formerly Romanized tribes of Goths and Germans along the Rhine, Danube, and, in later years, Vistula, rivers; some of whose territory lay outside of lands traditionally held by the Roman Empire. This strategy was employed to amass the manpower and wealth required to retake the core territories of Italy; however, the increasingly Germanic dominance within the realm, as well as its status as a rump state, led to its legitimacy as the Western Roman Empire being questioned in the eastern Byzantine Empire. with the Reconquest of Rome from Odovacer's Italian Kingdom in 565, the Byzantine Emperor Leo III finally recognized the emperors of the Barbaricate as legitimate; however, from this point onward, the two halves of the Roman Empire were increasingly distant politically. The modern term *Barbaricate* ultimately derives from Latin *Barbaricum,* referring to the regions to the north beyond Roman control, which can be further divided into Sarmatia and Germania. The word was first used to refer to the realm by Byzantine authors as a pejorative term, mocking the Germanization of the Empire. This was adopted by later historians and modified into a historiographic term." Ripped from a (hypothetical) Wikipedia article on this period of history

A masters degree is a small accomplishment compared to restoring the glory of Rome.

Ah yes, the western Roman empire. Stretching from Illyria to the Baltic sea 😂

That moment at 11:07 when Western Rome looked more like the Austro-Hungarian Empire with a french extension

Scuffed Rome be like: owns Czechia; Slovakia; Slovenia; Croatia; Austria; Hungary; most of Romania; Pomerania; Normandy; Northeast France; Rhineland but not Italy, Gaul, Sicily, Corsica, Iberia

Your Habsburg empire have a weird colour and its missing its Spanish part.

Out off all the cursed things in this video gothic italy having a napoleonic era flag has to be the most cursed off them all

West Romans embraced their exile and in revenge started conquering the lands the barbarians came from, very poetic.

Great Video, one of the best campaigns you've done imo, hyped for the next!

A part 2? Thats illegal!

laith just destroy german tribe left and right while almost left italy untouch lmao

West rome did have that much glory..

Comment for the algorithm so he has to play even more

Just ally the Byzantines!

Loving the campaign, can't wait for part 3!

Me: skips ahead a few minutes “And that was the story of how I got submitted to a psychiatric ward for masochism” Me: what the hell did I miss?!

Inspired by these couple of videos I tried your same run. Other than the countless rebels and the big tribes collapsing after each war, there was a big surprise with a huge Byzantium who started expanding in Poland and Bohemia regions and now they are about to reach Pommerania. Hopefully the historical friends modifier will save me until I eat France and Italy (I decided to not have allies to make the game more interesting)

Are there mods that add more content to extended timeline? I feel like that would be great, like premedieval Italy having a mission tree where, you sort of replace Western Rome, Western Rome itself having a mission tree that allows for incredible snowballing but a very hard start, events related to actual events of the period and some alternate history events, like one of the Roman nations, byz or Western Rome taking Rome, the people of Rome see the chi-ro (Or whatever that symbol is called) on the banners of the soldiers sieging the city so they just let the western/eastern romans in and it cedes the province, maybe if western Rome still exists to 600, a lot of countries that occupy historical roman provinces get separatists for Western Rome. Basically, cool snowballing for a alternate reality

I'd give up my degree to have bragging rights of beating Florryworry.

We need more Romeeeeeeeeee Jabba the Hutt will not be satisfied MOREEEEEEEE

You were saying about how you aren't really west because most of your land is East of Rome, and you aren't particularly roman since you again, don't own much roman land and the operations of the nation aren't as empire-like as Rome. What you are is Roach Rome. Just determined to survive, which in complete fairness has been greatly successful especially considering it isn't in a constant pool of debt. Surprisingly economically stable if nothing else. It's a very hype campaign, quite enjoyable & i think better than if you had done soissons - the comedy of western rome basically avoiding the traditional roman heartland is great.

I would love to see you reform Rome. That is why I am commenting for engagement.

more like North Rome and Byzantium

19:00 laith having an existential crisis cracked me

No I know how the Roman Emperor did feel in the twilight of the Roman Empire, babarians and rebbels all over the place.

From Cursed to Blessed? More like from Cursed to even more Cursed

Yes GIVE US MORE!!

tbf winnig against florryworry is more impressive than degree, he is fkn insane at eu4

MORE WEST ROME don't conquer the byzantines tho

Western Rome will be Western Europe before too long. Also if you wipe out the remaining barbarians, no more insta lose province wars.

Yo instead of going to go search for who the allies are manually, you can just click on their flag in the declear war screen and move over to them

As glorious as the reconquest of Rome was, how dare you clickbait so hard with that thumbnail haha

This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them

Playing as Soisson is a way more easy. Soisson and Altava can restore west rome, but only soisson is roman culture.

latin austria hungary

This empire should really be called North ROME

West Rome at the end of the last video is basically just a really early Austria-Hungary with northern France

I really want to see this series finished by you taking out the Byzantines :O

Dude why didn't you ally the Byzantines???

Holy Roman Empire but it is actually holy, roman and an empire - and mostly in germany

We need a part 3

Sometime, you should play the CK2 mod When the World Stopped Making Sense; it's set around this time period.

Laith I sincerely hope that after you achieve the west Roman borders you make vassals in the lands who were not part of the Roman empire. This would efectevely symbolize the foederaty system rome used in their borders. And also make the map more beautiful. Anyway good video. I hope for more

Ah yes, the famous Austro-hungarian-roman empire!

3:15 Now I want to see your CV cause I reckon about 5% of it will cover your academic achievements

You certainly took a difficult challenge here, but at this point it seems like you're starting to get things increasingly under control. Definitely seems interesting, though I wonder if you'll end up slowly eating up more of Germany just to keep them from continuing their attacks. Or at least to get a more narrow front like Denmark.

in my opinion dealing with rebels is the most tedious chore of the game.. it makes it so i often quit playthrus before 1700... especially if you expand a lot... i dont know why they dont make it easier to deal with... highlight the entire province that might spawn rebels... and an option to make the map go to where the provinces are to make it easier to see.. also i think rebels spawn far too often and for too long.. im not saying get rid of rebels, just make it less boring... they use up tons of manpower that u often dont have or need.. they spawn too quickly.. i spend like 2 years poncing about getting rid of rebels and then go to war with someone and there are another 20-30 rebel factions again all spawning in... its just tedious... they either need to make it less boring to deal with or lessen their effect.. realism is good only to the point where it becomes boring.. games arent meant to be boring.. imagine playing sims and the game forcing you to fill in tons of tax forms for ur job...

Why don’t you just release vassals and make them not join wars, giving them bordering provinces making the barbarians unable to attack yourself

24:24 Watching this in December 2023, it feels so weird to see only 2 possible reforms at each tier. Good to see the game develop even after 10 years.

Can you explain more about what the special CB is? Why do the countries get rekt whenever they declare on you and fail?

Alright, we got our part 2. Now…where’s part 3?

being a slave to views❌

Alright one more lets see it

Could anybody kindly point me in the direction of a guide to download and install mods for the epic games version of eu4?

"from cursed to blessed" You lied me, Connor! -character from a certain android game

Instead of Austro-Hungary, your man just gonna form the E.U instead!

Why don't you trucebreak Italy? It costs adm, sure, but you'll get tons of your cores back.

You should conquer Britain as an Anglo-Saxon duchy and convert England to the one true culture.

make another video its really cool

Laith you need to get out and touch the green things you see outside. No Laith those green things are not kingdom of italy. They are called grass.

Liked and subscribed just to be part of the masses forcing you to continue this shit.

Anyone else get a little confused over the Hannibal/Hanover thing going on in the subtitles?

Laith - I'm reclaiming the roman empirr I can't play! Laith - Does everything, conquers countless counties, but makes almost zero actual progress towards reclaiming any roman cores.

Am I the only person hearing weird ambient noise in only the right ear of this video lmaoo

Only commenting so you make another video on this play through

Liking and subscribing for more torture. Like a good viewer.

Yeah somethings definitely wrong with his extended timeline build menu

Gotta say, every time you say "forts" I have to giggle a bit since it sounds exactly like the German word for fart ("Furz"). Besides solid play! Thanks for going through the torture for us

I do like how you get sponsors, but god that game looks so boring.

wait how did you go back from 1444 ? 😮

play the seljuks in ante bellum :D

Continue

With so many likes Laith you know the rules and so do I ;)

Would love to see you reform Rome. I think you deserve it. Also before you got Rome I think your name should have been "North of Rome". Another thing ally the Sassianid?

Honestly I think culture converting to Germanic and forming Charlemagne's borders would be cooler, seeing as you more or less wiped out the Franks anyway

Last time i was this early Laith didnt cheat

19:22 you are the Austro-Hungarian empire, but more roman

I am wondering - why not create a vassal in the north?

This campaign is literally expanding through defensive wars and few offensive conquest

I remember I tried doing my own west Rome restoration but then I got hit by an event that lost me a lot of cores so I gave up. I think I was almost finished too, I think I almost taken all of Iberia, most if not all Italy, and pretty much just the England section of Britain. But then the event happened and I lost all my cores on land I already had such as all of Spain and England. And by then the overextension would essentially have made me need to redo all my conquering

*hooded Roman appears* "Do it. Unite Rome again."

Lmao i got recomended this in the First Quarter of an hour

Why did the borders looked like Austrian empire

I love when it dawned on him he was bigger than Italy lol

annihilating Hannover is something Laith would do

The Ch at the beginning of Chalcedonian makes a 'k' sound.

West Rome world conquest ?

30:29 “We are a large empire, but that is counteracted by the fact we are trading in wine.“ That knocked me out 😂😂

wait... he won against florry? Do brag.

Honestly this is one of my favorite series, just because it seems challenging without being impossible or preventing you from progressing.

TAKE OVER THE GEPIDS!!😭

Where is the capital of West Rome, east of Rome.

WE WANT PART 3 (obviously)

The Soissons have missions to take all of both western and eastern roman empire , btw soissons can reform west rome as well

Not western, not Roman, meh maybe an empire

Lets go, Granada one next
