If you start somewhere around 20-30 AD you can actually play as a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty that ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great. They rule the roman vassal Mauritania and their religion is Hellenic
@@vel3035 just click the year/month buttons manually to turn back the clok from the first startdate. You can start as early is 1AD if i remember correctly.
Something that I like to do to add flavor is to name important provinces with forts after amazing generals. That way, 200 years on people will be reminded of their bravery and you'll feel more attached to the land you occupy.
Extended timeline is such a cool mod, I really need to play more of it, it's just a shame that there are few mission trees and stuff, which to be fair makes sense but still.
The Huns also have a mission tree in Extended Timeline, so that might be a fun start to try out. Especially since West Rome is basically falling apart when they're in power
Playing Rome at its height in euiv extended timeline is like starting as ming if there was no such thing as low mandate. I think reforming Rome in vanilla or forming Rome in imperium universalis is cooler. Rome in a game covering its full period should have an event for the fall of the monarchy, the contest of the orders which would be pretty basic. You click an option to reform into a republic for the former, and then the latter would be kind of like court and country, or possibly an hre event. It’s possible that Rome should even have hre style mechanics to represent the de facto degrees of autonomy/sedition practiced by equestrians and governors of the principate. It could be a unity/fragmentation mechanic where Rome uncontrollably forms vassals that are disloyal and then Reintegrates them. Then in the third century a disaster happens and pretenders stacks are always trying to depose the emperor, and the country breaks into separate countries you can reconquest with cores. Events also would occur where the emperor gets assassinated by praetorians. Finally the principate would need some kind of ancient adoptive dynastic element, not as deep as ckiii, but events lead to the emperor choosing an heir. Uniting and stabilizing Rome from within would be satisfying, and then winning against Persia and the barbarians would be a good althist mission tree.
@@derekskelton4187 Yeah republican Rome is arguably a combination of colonizing with oppida, something analogous to native federations/diplomatic vassalization, and conquest of foreign tribes. Otoh archaic Greek poleis involved more colonizing by sea. The principate period has two incidents of dynastic succession that were resolved quickly and then a fifty year anarchy. Roman legions we’re stretched thin to fight each other, the sassanids, Carpi, Iuthingi, Quadi, Sarmatians, etc. Rome’s history specifically is intricate enough to deserve a paradox grand strategy. I know there’s imperator and mods but they don’t reflect Rome’s circumstances closely. The best time period would be 0 to 1500 auc. That’s all of western Rome’s history, Byzantine-Rashidun wars, and just long enough for Charlemagne to meme a personal union on Irene of Athens.
Hey Laith, I'm just a bit curious. What's the plan with your Ulm trip, do you guys already have any idea when you're going to go there? Great video once again, thanks for the amazing content!
Please for the love of god accept the cultures your empire is actually made of. You only get full cash and manpower out the single bactrian province and all others have a big debuff
Well, if you have nothing better to do, you could play rashidun in rise of islam. They get some pretty juicy bonuses. And 666 ruler, and two good generals.
Starting at the very beginning of the game (2 AD) you wont be able to see anything other than your neighbours, so no agressive expansion. It's easy to expand, i did a lot of games in britain and scaled up
The pretender tooltip tries to be true. It is correct on the day it spawns, but typically the pretender leads an army. If he dies as a general he will not take the throne, but his name will stay on the tooltip. You can kill all the pretender armies that aren’t led by the leader safely. If he dies the ruler is just rerolled.
negative manpower actually makes sense you've got some men who are really ought to retire but just can't because there's no one to replace them so any new ppl you get are going to go towards replacing them before you start getting any new free manpower
How are you using both the Graphical Improvements mod and stellaris font mod? When I use the graphical improvements mod that's compatible specifically for Extended Timeline, it looks a lot different than the normal version seen in your video. And when I use the stellaris font, the game always crashes when I open the Ages screen
Dear Laith, the Tooltip with the Ruler you get is usually right. But the Pretender can die before he enforces and get replaced by another one and thats when you dont get what you were promised. And big thanks for the Videos you keep bringing, your playstyle is really entertaining and I cant really get how you do manage to survive in such chaos, but good job and its alot of fun to watch, keep it up.
for the love of god, press the button in the bottom right of your popups, and set them to display as icon. you don't need to know about every single thing that happens via popup. it slows you down super hard
the indo greeks converted to buddhism and are actually believed to have sculpted the first depiction of the buddha in human form, you can see what I'm talking about if you look up Gandhara Art. They didn't "betray" hellenism, they adapted to the lands they ruled over, since they were quite literally the last surviving independent Greek state in existence.
Bactrians aren't really remnants of Alexander's troops they're descendants of deported settlers of Alexander's conquest which is to say not the people you'd expect to be good at fighting
Fun Fact about extended timeline Rome is a bitch no seriously 40k manpower, 90k units, no bonuses to military, +15% land maintenance, absolute hot garbage unit pips Oh and also they trade estates for a government that give -40%devcost and 200 govcapacity (which actually helps the ai since it's not always smart with privileges) BTW every pagan religion has a diety with 10% land morale, 5% discipline, except hellenic which has ares with 10% land morale and 2,5% discipline
if it were me, id have grown bigger in India first but then im not as good at the game as you so i couldnt win when armies are 5 times bigger than mine
You wanted it, so I followed up with another part! - ua-cam.com/video/0ShVmhaInSs/v-deo.html
if you started from the years 2 to 10 the Indo Greeks would be an independent state with hellenic as its faith

My god. The larp possibilities are endless!
I name provinces after good rulers and heirs. It’s narcissistic but fun
Based idea
You should start November 1st, 1444 right before the battle of varna, I want to see how extended timeline handles it.
Great idea.
Not greatly i think since the later the start date the laggier the game is
Extended timeline is such a cool mod, I really need to play more of it, it's just a shame that there are few mission trees and stuff, which to be fair makes sense but still.
it’s the epitome of “wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle” for me
theres mission mods for it
@J Wilt we do not care
@@ysff0710 i care
@J Wilt we didn’t need an essay for an explanation

One weird with is that the huns idea are trade like idea I think, I'm not sure
The 2AD start has the Indo-Greeks
Please, do continue this campaign, it'll be so nice seeing you suffer while fighting Rome.
I'm ecstatic this is done but I'm disappointed that you aren't hellenic. At the earliest start date indo-greeks start as hellenic.
@Avi
Oh that makes sense
I have actually played the Indo-Greeks before and have formed Bactria as well, one of the coolest games I've had, glad you played it as well
Extended Timeline is basically just another game
one province? you should name ALL provinces Alexanderia
It just feels right

What your describing would be a full mod on it's own.
I've played them twice now in extended timeline. The disloyal subjects is the best way I've found to actually survive.

You better continue this one my boy! Can’t leave us on a cliffhanger like this
Well gosh, keep the good times rolling! Part 2!
Hey Laith, I'm just a bit curious. What's the plan with your Ulm trip, do you guys already have any idea when you're going to go there?

Bactrian is the best
He is roleplaying and converting everything to bactrian.
Well, if you have nothing better to do, you could play rashidun in rise of islam. They get some pretty juicy bonuses. And 666 ruler, and two good generals.
BOY DO I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU
Lmaoooooo
Starting at the very beginning of the game (2 AD) you wont be able to see anything other than your neighbours, so no agressive expansion. It's easy to expand, i did a lot of games in britain and scaled up
you should definitely convert to hellenic for that sweet roleplay, not sure how tho
You should do a round of Switzerland in the Present Day bookmark
(Slaps roof of fort) this bad boi can stop 40 thousand Persians if it wants to.
Plz continue this one I need to see the ceasers face when a greeko-Bactrian army marches on him from india
Oh god yes 🥵 Love to see daddy Alexander Legacy being recreated
Now this actually gave me ideas
Not for EU4, for CK3, but still
Ideas is ideas
can't wait to see where this campaign goes
It took me so long to notice that his headset is missing
Yea would be fun to see where this goes if you would continue

if you read the event where you get the core, it says that its because you are mahayana and bamayan was mahayana
The northern satraps aren’t the remanants of Alexander’s empire, they are sakan(a Iranian people) invaders
Nevermind
yay for longer video!
Can someone actually tell me how many nations in extended timeline have mission trees?
God dammm Laith looking fly as fuck today

Whats that money sound it sound like the time I was electrocuted by the police

Is rerolling potential advisors actually even odds? My impression was that you're most likely to get another one of the same type you just dismissed.
"The last greeks" the thumbnail says, pretty sure greek people still are a thing lol
109k subs, where on earth is the ulm collab?
Have it be like Marklar and name everything Alexander
I'd gladly take a second part lol
Lets go 45 minutes of the best eu4 channel

curious why you didnt take this on in imperium universalis?
this is the male fantasy
Loved this video.
ty for usin my reccomendation
Since you already did Taiwan conquering china, why not do Tibet? If you want you can do Tibetan Empire vs Tang Dynasty
That would be badass
Play as either the selucid empire in imperator rome or as parthia in this mod

32:55 AND WHY IS IBERIA WHERE ARMENIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE

Fun Fact about extended timeline
Rome is a bitch
no seriously 40k manpower, 90k units, no bonuses to military, +15% land maintenance, absolute hot garbage unit pips
