Harder achievement. Me struggling to be a loyal vassal to France and babysit the Capets while they blow up anyway.

Fun fact about the guy you play for the Brave and the Bold achievement: his dad Piast the Wheelwright is the oldest character that Paradox put into the game, and was 121 years old at the time of his death.

I am trully amazed how correctly you have pronounced polish words 😆 Dobra robota! 💪

I’ve come very close on a couple of occasions to getting Lingua Franca without world conquest. The closest I got was two Indian kingdoms who didn’t speak Basque. Yes, you heard me, Basque

I got Beta Israel *extremely* easily in 1066. I became a vassal of Abyssinia, got religious rights in my contract, claimed the throne, fabricated hooks on fellow vassals to get the faction going. Then at one point the King died and I became next in line after his heir (I'm assuming there was no one else with a claim other than me) . It was simply a matter of murdering the new King, becoming king of Abyssinia myself and diverging the culture. Claim throne is most op perk in the game guys, don't forget this.

For the Lingua Franca achievement, there was this cheese i used to managed the language of vassals: Played as the Byzantine, landed your Grand Patriarch then feed him all of duke-tier vassals. Since duke-tier vassals dont have court, and theocratic vassals also dont have court, the only royal court in your empire will be yours, and they shall speak only your language. What'a left to do would be to conquer and destroy other royal court until you are the only one left (Tedious, but much easier since you dont have to worry about that one random king-tier vassal decided to change his court language out of nowhere)

Confession: I actually got Beta Israel by playing as Haesteinn and county hopping down to Africa, conquering Abyssinia, moving my capital there, converting to Judaism and then diverging culture and it worked. A bit cheesy but tactics are tactics, baby, and the achievement doesn't require you to be African, just that you have the right culture and religion.

Alzabo: *mentions Poland* The editor: Oh boi this is my day

I managed to get the Legacy of the Campeadores somehow in a larger game starting as the Habsburgs. Not sure how, I'm guessing it was some descendant from a crusade that triggered it.

I got the campeadores achivement by accident lol. I started as king Sancho and gave the duchy of Galicia to El Cid (At the start of the game, he is the bff of Sancho), so 200 hundred years down the line I gave the Kingdom of Valencia to my heir and this achivement pop up out of nowhere. I didnt even marry El Cid in my family, it seems that my wife at the moment was a direct heir of him.

7:10 - so fun fact, you need to make sure that you diverge *as a count*, you can't hold the duchy when you diverge or it invalidates the achievement, which is a pain considering that making the duchy is easy prestige to diverge.

8:39 - So fun fact again, on the patch it came out, this achievement could be obtained with a Custom Character despite the warning that it couldn't, so starting as an Andalusian Custom Character with Diplo Perks as the 867 Abbasids was a tad OP.

I got the Lingua Franca achievement on my mother of us all run. The game went super long and I conquered most of the world. Eventually for a short period I got it to where everyone's Court language was Arabic.

Fun fact: The medieval german poet Oswald von Wolkenstein in his "Durch Barbarei, Arabia" speaks of Ibernia which, at first glance might seem Iberia, but in reality is the Caucasus :) So there you go, achievement explained!

1:25 - I am not certain if this achievement still allows Custom Characters anymore, I did it as a custom female ruler, it's really easy to do if you start with enough virtues and such to make Sancho like you and he'll let you instantly marry El Cid Matrilineally as long as you've stacked enough.

Some of this music is epic. I wish it played longer in game

Correction to beta Israel , you CAN do it with a custom character ( I did it with one )

Including your cat in advertisement is a genius move. I will buy now everything!

Plz do a run where you get lingua franca through conquest, that would be awesome

You actually can get Beta Israel as a custom character! If you replace one of the characters you mentioned with a custom haymanot etheopian, it works - it just *has* to be one of those character you replace.

In my playing, easiest way to get legacy of the campeadores is to start as matilda of tuscany. you can marry el cid immediately to a matrilineal marriage, and then just start taking over valencia. i found it easier to take over italy first, so i had a strong power base, then went for the balearic islands and then the mainland.

Do more completely ridiculous CK3 challenges please I love those

I really can't be bothered to do Achievements, i like just creating random Custom characters in different places and basically make my own world history to accommodate my custom rulers, i like switching between characters to see how they are going an to make sure they're not falling apart from within.

Turkish Eagle and Rise of the Ghurids are an absolute blast

I can't help but to say your intro along with you it's just so satisfying

2:57 Didn't expect a PSO reference in a CK3 video but here we are. It makes enough sense though. Both games are maximum comfy.

You always teach me something new and cool, thanks!

Another day, another awesome ck3 video

Cool vid bro. The last achievement I'm working on is to reach the end date.

You don't actually have to start in Fika to get the achievement, you simply need to have it as your primary title when you diverge culture; for instants I started in Cagliari as Greek culture, built the silver mine, and then went down and conquered Fika. (I also swore fealty to the Byzantines so almost no one attacked me.) and that's how I got the Achievement.

Nothing more satisfying than 100% achievement completion of ck3

Great video as always! Your cable management might give me nightmares tonight lol

There is no easier way to conquer whole map other than playing Mongolia and becoming Khan of Khans

Thankyou for the video.

Loving the CK3 content!

amazing vid bro

Cool Vid Bro

Cool vid bro

Amazing vid

For Legacy of the Compeadores it is way easier to start as Urraca with the matriarchy game rule. Should still let you play in Ironman, and makes it very easy as you start with all of your brothers titles

cool vid bro

It's even possible to play as El Cid. He has a landed dynasty member of a different house and if you become his child you can get deposed and play as him.

Makes me happy I have all these save for compeadores, which I should have finished tonight after work presuming I can form Valencia finally. Mayorca is being a pain

2:58 god those Phantasy Star Online sounds made me nostalgic as fuck.

never been this early to a video, just wanted to say that i appreciate your work!

10:54 - Also again, I am not certain if it was really patched or not, but Lingua Franca also allowed custom characters despite what the wiki/steam said back in the day, so 1 Custom Byz Empire later and "It's all Greek to me baby"..... Edit: Also reading through that Wiki text, that must be either wrong or has been changed, since in my run the AI did actually embrace Greek Language after a while, particularly the Tibetan Buddhists, which by that block of text's description, should be impossible as they were outside my capital's region and religious group. But the wiki being potentially very wrong is nothing new, they still haven't updated the holy sites of several religions since the edits that were made in recent patches. (among other things, Conversos does not have Alexandria, etc)

cool vid bro.

Damn man, I love polish parts of your films xdd Cheers form PL

cool video bro! i humbly suggest playing victoria 3, starting as a small underpowered nation, and support your entire economy by selling art!

Please make a video where you do the last achievement !

Please come to Fika!

I actually have the “Nobody visits Fika” achievement and the “Iberia or Iberia” achievement. I played both as full campaigns from 867 to 1444 (for Converter) and it was a lot of fun. In the Fika Campaign I made all of West Africa Bori and formed a great custom Fika Empire and in the Iberia campaign I started as Asturias, ended the struggle, formed Spain, gave the Empire away via feudal election, declared independence, conquered Abkhazia, formed Georgia, formed a Georgian-Castilian Hybrid culture, swore fealty to Byzantium, rose in the ranks, became Emperor, restored Rome and mended the schism before election another dynasty for the emperorship and living a quiet vassal life as Greater Georgia, which stretched from Lake Van to the Volga and Don.

Hello from Brasil! You'll not believe but your mom gave me the direction to your canal. Best regards!

Thanks for vid Azlabo

05:10 Actually, if you create the Turkish hybrid while your realm capitol is inside the region of Anatolia the culture gets unique name "Anatolian Turk" or Turkish cant remember 100% but a cool thing About Fika, Make sure to not create Duchy titles. Your primary title has to be the county

you could get the Beta Israel with a custom ruler even if it says you cant. Dont know if they have fixed it now but did that achivement run a month or two ago and it worked

You just gave me idea for tomorrow game

I finished a whole, what is kinda uncommon but this is insane.

All achievements are rare because barely anyone plays without mods, just like in CK2 where people would have 3k+ hours and no achievements unlocked, the same happens in this game. Mods made CK2 and they make CK3.

Hey would you ever consider doing a campaign in after the end because I think they just added a form of the struggle mechanic in Texas or maybe you could start as a count and go on the restore the us

I've got Lingua Franca achievement. I started as count Haestinn and migrated to India. There I become Ashari because nearby muslims waged holy wars on my kingdom. I adopted arabic as court language because Abbasyds had grand court. I conquered somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of the world at the end of the game. Because of my grandest court everyone in the world adopted arabic court language. Sometimes new rulers change to native. It wasn't really hard (and intentional)

It may not be super rare but I had fun with Faster Than The Fox (also can you do this for eu4)

alzabo is a poet and he didnt even realize it

Is the Tibet achievement actually banned/ removed in China?

I actually have Lingua Franca. Got it on my first Ironman playthrough as Byzantine Empire. Restored Roman Empire, conquered about half of the world and did the achievement.

0:15 woah there fella. Thee? Speaking to multiple ppl? My ears are burning

I appreciated the System of a Down reference.

Also a note: Unless you enjoy pain, do not do what I did and try to mix Lingua Franca with True Tolerance, it is just not worth the time it takes to combine the two approaches. I wasted an entire cultural era delaying "By The Sword" for "Xenophilic", and that just made both parts worse. Since the best way to get true tolerance is to have a large culture group via divergence and hybrids, and divergent cultures can actually adopt other languages if their realm has the right language mix, meaning more issues of vassal king courts speaking the wrong language. (I am not certain of the exact ratios, but I have been able to adopt Arabic while diverging an West African culture (Gur) in a majority Andalusian realm, or Adopt Greek language as a Roman Divergent culture in the ERE, so I presume it has to do with the majority tongue of the realm, but I am unsure.) Edit: And yes, I did end up getting both achievements in that run, but it took forever. My thought process was that clearly True Tolerance would happen eventually in a Lingua Franca run, and it would just happen naturally, but no, unless you stack stuff like Xenophilic and the Traditions legacy path, you cap at like ~60 acceptance with non-same heritage languages, and you need 90+ for True Tolerance. Much easier if you just play in like Germany or France and turn up AI divergences, slow down cultural conversion speed (to keep more around) and just make a Divergent Micro culture with Egalitarian Ethos and Xenophilic as like the HRE or something. Egalitarian Hybrid of Central Germanic and Frankish might be an easy way to score a connection to both, but considering that you have 4 "subsets" of cultures even there, it's not the easiest. You can't make both the D'Oil and D'voc Frankish happy while also Making the High German and Saxon Central Germanics happy, at least not by some magical combo of language and heritage. But still, Egalitarian and Xenophilic HRE is probably the easiest way to go for True Tolerance. Lingua Franca is probably easiest as Byz, especially if you make a Heresy with Pursuit of Power or combine By the Sword with Quarrelsome, but I haven't tested other variations on it because good grief who has the time to do multiple Lingua Franca runs.

Based on #8 it seems you really like my language (polish). Its really weird to hear polish words in an English sentence. If I would hear the same in polish Accent I would cringe cuz I hear that every week but with your Accent its a different weird feeling. Świetne wideo! Czekam na więcej. Powodzenia w tworzeniu filmów i w dalszym życiu! : D

The first one is going to be much easier with the next DLC allowing you to play as unlanded characters.

On the el cid archievement you can play a game of chess against king sancho and lose that will give him opinion of you righ away before you finish the chess game you can marry him and then you can finish the chess game tab.

Nice

I got Legacy of the Campeadores after I switched from portugal to Crusader Mesopotamia and I still don't know how

'Lingua Franca' is basically 'Karlings! KARLINGS EVERYWHERE!'

Woot Woot!

Im only missing 7 achievements to complete this game .. Some are just way to tedious for even me to do.

I ended up getting lingua franca completely by accident. I had formed India and conquered Arabia and north Africa when European rulers began using my language as their court language.

Watching this as a player who completed all these achievments long ago is fun

Hey alzabo

I'm on a run where I gained Mother of us all, Perfect circle, Holidaying in Iberia and hopefully soon Lingua Franca while speaking Chadic... I guess the language fits the run:)

Can you do one for Vicky 3 or CK2?

7:28 Bless our reign down in Africa No comment needed.

How about a KoH2 video!

I only have 4 out of these 10 achievements. Just out of curiosity, how many are possible while starting with Haesteinn?

In the Legacy of the Campeadores, you can get married to El Cid quicker using the same character. insted of befriend, use sway and if you are lucky with a board game, get your brother to 44% and you can marry El Cid with a +5% acceptance, when Infanta is 35.

Oh neat I arrived just in time

4:15 I don't know why exactly would you torture yourself by feudalizing so early. Raid, feast and hunt. Acquire prestige and gold before you feudilize or else you will struggle economically as well as militarily. Build yourself some power hold first. Feudalizing does not need to be rushed.

o kurwa

Out of those so far i have "Legacy of Campeadores", "Brave and Bold", "Bod Chen Po" and "Rise of the Ghurids" achievements. Currently working on Turkish Eagle. But the game needs more content. Its not challenging anymore.

Does it have to be a direct heir (as in son/daughter) to El Cid? I always thought it fired as long as El Cid was in the bloodline (like up to great grandchild or something)

I swear since I installed friends and foes dlc achievements are bugged. I finished my first World conquest as the roman empire and linga Franka isn't popping

cool vid bro 🐀💎UriGOD

What is he doing? So many videos are brewing. Thumbnail had me spewing. Then had me viewing. With so much work, is this job a great perk?

It’s really sad that they got rid of Assyrian culture. Now I can’t do any Assyrian Empire campaign.

97% of achievements 💪

Nobody comes to fika?! Are the guys on paradox alright?? So lonely

Did they update beta isreal to not allow custom characters? Cause I got it as a custom character

I ain't been this early since my birth

Hey gamers, if you want an easier time getting the Legacy of the whatever achievement (listed as #10), instead of doing all that intrigue, just invert gender roles and play the sister. You start with all kingdoms united as men can't inherit titles. Then, just search up El Cid's house with the character finder and marry him. You can see his house name in the video. Starts with a V or something. After that, just focus on conquering Valencia, you should be able to have a kid with El Cid by then and bam. Easy peasy.
