You NEED To Play The Medieval Kingdoms Mod As The HRE 

"We we we've won! But barely! It's one of those kind of victories, you know ... where you're just like ... Uagh!" - Pyrrhus of Epirus, after the Battle of Asculum

" they consider me a bad strategist but I don't think so" -Sending his mounted general against pikemen

"My fertility could be higher" - Rambler 2020

You were excommunicated because that's just what popes did to Holy Roman Emperors. It was a very common historical trend

"This map looks like freaking Mordor" It's France, what did you expect? Rivendell? Edit: Oh good lord, the Rambler noticed me! Edit 2: 10 mins later, not anymore...

*Army is mostly composed of peasant crossbow men Army name-“Christianity’s elite.”

“My wife is only 14, that’s fine” -Alex the Rambler

His crossbowmen are actually meatshields by the way he’s playing lol

"Lets just try and yeet them to death" Look at Alex trying to be down with the kids

“Trash” and “frickin” are Alex’s favourite words

"They consider me a bad strategist, but I don't think so" 8:21 Their spearme get attacked from behind and Rambler thinks they are giving the front Yet I agree, you are a competent one, you are just human as everyone. But ISP, that guy is a monster.

15:58 Alex: "he has got one son" Ludwig: "Am I joke to you?"

When he said “Welfy” I dropped my phone and prayed to Lord Shaggy for absolution.

"Look at how big I am" -Alex 2020

"I like this imperiale litter" Alex the Rambler 2020

Expected a sick Rambler fail from that hard difficulty but you outdid yourself. Also on a side note thank you for getting me hooked on HOI4. I have 1000+ hours played and still play it religiously.

“Austria is supporting themselves for the Emperor of HRE.”

I bet ramblers hairline wished it had vassals

rambler talking about his fertility: *laughs in naked fangirl*

Rambler: Roy Me: Suffers internally

Flanders: *takes over France* Alex: *confusionquits*

More MEDIEVAL KINGDOMS ATTILA TOTAL WAR. We need it

12:30 as we said in france le roi est mort vive le roi :p

Watching you play a battle in a total war game was very painful...lol

First thing I did in this mod, other than installing the 4 turns per year mod, was play as the HRE. The only drawback with the 4 turns per year submod that every event occurs 4 times as fast. Also medieval crossbows were effective against armored knights, which is why most armies in this mod have so many. And since they have so many, it's impossible to charge all of them down without being hit by their others. What you should do is try to hold them down at once. Oh, and I don't know if this was just what happened in my playthrough, but most of your southern imperial vassals (vassals in italy, the swiss, and bavarians) will rebel in the late-game.

OUR HORSES LOVE BLOOD

I know non-hoi4 doesn't usually work to well for you but anything that isn't hoi4 I will be up to watch

I craked laughing as soon as Alex said "we need to APEASE the Pope"

Even the alpha build is really polished, can’t wait to see how this looks later in development

I'm currently doing a playthrough as the Duchy of Lorraine and within 70 years I have steadily made enough diplomatic powerplays and arranged marriages that I have vassalized the HRE along with every other Catholic nation excluding Connaught (simply because I haven't bothered to sail up and meet them) and excluding Burgundy and Toulouse which I have eliminated. In addition to the Catholic Christian sphere I have also vassalized the 2 Eastern Christian Nations in Ethiopia and Eritrea and I am well on my way to vassalizing all of the Eastern Orthodox nations. I currently have nearly 1.8 million gold and am sitting at +72000 per turn and a food surplus of 300 with 12 standing armies (albeit only 2 of which are full stacks so far). Basically you slowly build up power and resources while making every alliance you possibly can from within the HRE sphere and beyond, arrange marriages, expand you family tree. Once you are mighty enough and well loved enough across Europe, begin by ending you vassal status with the HRE, and then vassalize every non-HRE frontier state you can by arranging marriages with them.. At some point soon after this you will be able to vassalize the HRE thus vassalizing every tributary state of theirs by consequence. From there it should be easy and in theory you could probably even use the diplomatic cheese meta to begin slowly engulfing the Saracen nations into your empire if that's what gets you going... I highly recommend to everyone to try some of the less powerful tributary states of the HRE and follow a similar meta as I have described. It's a slow start and a long grind to get to the point where you can wage massive wars but I am currently in a good position to begin waging war against the entire non-Christian world all at once at this point.

Alex here lookin like late 80's Freddie Mercury

Try Empire of Nicaea next! They’re a bit OP but who doesn’t wanna try restoring the Roman Empire

You took Poland as basically Germany. Oh no.

Reunite Byzantium!

Hi Alex the Rambler, do you only use the 1212AD mod, or also other submods??

I was playing as Nicea and I found that it was a bit of a steamroll so far, the AI factions didn't seem aggressive at all. Although I have only just reached the Caucusus and majority other religions so maybe that's where the challenge kicks in.

Hearts of Iron IV, Total War. Dude, you just get me

Poland doesn't like me, how real it is xd

I remember when he played sins of a solar empire

Keep on playing this faction

Ill run this after I finish my ERE Attila vanilla campaign.

A very good mod Highy recommend.

Good I love this mod

Alex, some random tidbits... History: The expression that the HRE wasn't holy, Roman, nor an empire doesn't actually hold up on closer examination prior to the mid 1200s. Like many feudal nations across Europe, monarchs were generally pretty weak compared to their vassals (just look at the Barons' Wars and you should get the idea), although there were 2 notable emperors who attempted to centralize the HRE, to marginal degrees of success (Frederick I "Barbarossa" and Frederick II). The 1200s saw Kaiser Frederick II von Hohenstaufen, who was also the Duke of Swabia (a region in SW Germany that overlaps with modern day France and Switzerland) inherit the Kingdom of Sicily and push the borders of the empire to its furthest reaches. That particular emperor was also excommunicated 4 times, went on crusade (while excommunicated) and reclaimed Jerusalem with virtually no fighting (making his the most successful crusade after the first). After Frederick II died without an hier, however, the imperial electors couldn't agree on who should be emperor, so the throne sat vacant for 60 years, which lead to a spiraling faceplant where the various states acted on their own authority, even after an emperor was finally elected, leading to the infamous quote mentioned at the start. Game: In my campaign I used the vassals as buffer states to protect me against any invasions (ie Poles) while I ate through France (with difficulty). It looks like you figured out how to use your vassals for defense. The imperial knights (Ritter is knight in German) are really good for you, but you can also build some religious structures to get access to the army rosters of the crusader states and the teutonic order. Anyway, good video and I hope you continue with this campaign.

Play as Flanders

They haven't updated this mod for like a year. I really wonder when they will close the holes in it, like 10 turns for a crusade and stuff like that.

This mods fire I’ve played it for a week

Hi I’ve been praying HRE recently. But I’ve been struggling with developing the decrees. My Imperial Authority is created normal but it is very hard for me to get votes for the reform. Is there any hint for it? I really wish to get the last reform to unify the empire! Thank you

Good shit
