Honestly curious if you guys like this type of video. I plan on making another similar one soon but it will be almost 100% me talking about history and using the eu4 game as visual aid. Love you all and thanks for the support ^^
We love you too, Lord Ludi. However, I can't help wondering why you haven't made a vid with the famous historical nation of Schnippeldorph yet? Thanks for a lot of entertainment :)
If there was a Roman successor state around in 1444, I imagine it would be would be on its last legs. It wouldn’t even necessarily need to exist in Rome, maybe somewhere around Greece? I think Constantinople was a pretty big city in this time period. :)
I think as narrative scenario It can be interesting to assume that Visigots, who historically were in many cases loyal to Roman culture and state, became power in old corrupt state and transformed Empire once again into Republic. In process other provinces declared independance or were conquered, but those new roman-gothic nobility were able to save its rule in most of Italia peninsula.
I was going to ask for a best custom nation build or even for you to discuss the different traditions available. Thanks for the video. The best thing they do is inspire me to play more.
Honestly I'm not too fond of roman empire-themed things, but also you look like you're having so much fun it's very nice to watch. Id' be down for other videos like that !
Definitely interested in seeing these kinds of scenarios, and especially with a twist, some kind of challenge to make it interesting, a goal or some rp that makes it not so min-max
Your story is interesting. I think about some things close to this almost every day as I do research into late classical-early medieval history for my work. During the early 600s the secular duties of Rome were transferred from the Senate to the Bishop of Rome. The feel of what you've done is essentially that instead of the Bishop of Rome rising to power to become the Father of Rome, the republicans of Rome reasserted themselves. It was likely a difficult task as they fought with the rising Papacy, allowing for the coming and going of external powers in the region; such as the Lombards and the Franks, and also later to have Italy integrated into the Holy Roman Empire. With the influence of the Pope, the Romans still existed, united, but more secular, thanks to the Senate's revival. The Romans challenged the Normans following their invasion of the Eastern Empire, leaving the region improperly defended, allowing the North Africans to reassert their claim to Sicily. Recognizing the need to resist this invasion, and with the Turks threatening Constantinople, Rome coalesces and elects a king to lead them to war. As the Holy Roman Empire fails the Italians, the northern polities harken back to when they were recognized by the Romans as the Western Empire and confederate under this history as the Gothic Empire to resist their German overlords and the increasingly powerful and centralized Holy Kingdom of Rome. I personally would love for you to shatter the HRE and unite the Romans.
I believe that the Roman Republic should be Orthodox Christians. Maybe in this alternate timeline they would be friendlier to the Eastern Romans and try to follow the same religion.
No, the Western Romans would have been Latins, not Greeks. The split was apparent by the Second Ecumenical Council of Constantinople in 381, when the Latins were explicitly not invited so thay they could not protest the change of the lead patriarchate from Rome to Constantinople, and everything from there is history. A Western Roman successor state would therefore also be Latin, and therefore what we would understand today to be "Catholic." An Orthodox Western Roman successor state would probably have to be subjugated to the Eastern Romans (Greeks, hence "Greek Orthodox") for it to make any sense.
There's a secret genre of video hidden here. It's like AARs that you find on Reddit and the Paradox forums where they add historical flair, but as you play. I'm surprised no one's made something like this, or maybe they have and it never got popular.
My ideas for a what if campaign is the HRE being formed by the Italian states or France and the German states in the HRE being more united (like maybe have them be united in either culture or region).
If one altered the backstory a little, it could make a lot of sense why Rome starts moving now and not before. For instance, A small Roman rump state managed to survive the collapse of the West Roman Empire, holding the OstroGoths off at Rome and in continued fighting with what ever support they could get elsewhere a final line across defensible terrain formed in the North. After this Rome started working on rebuilding its economy and overall setup in its new situation, changing to some of the old ways. Then to the South the East Roman Empire started 'reconquering' various lost West Roman Empire territories and incorporating it in to themselves, ending with them taking Southern Italy and making Rome a partially subordinate nation And as humiliating as is was that Rome of all places was now the lesser of Constantinople, at least they could try and reconquer the north and regain their position in future. But before they could gather enough strength to finally throw the Ostrogoths from the North, the Karlings conquered all the Northern regions under them in a single vast territory. A nation far to powerful to compete with, this was even so when it fractured and had internal troubles. Still it gave a new opportunity to get out of the humiliating situation with the East Roman Empire, by maneuvering themselves between the two powers and so to become a more independent buffer state. To facilitate this the Pope, of course completely with out their direction offered a Roman crown to the Karlings, so as to make them and the East Romans compete more between each other. Though sadly in time this led to the Pope gaining much power in the northern territories and becoming a continuous point of political problems for the Roman state. Even if it further helped to cement their buffer state existence. For awhile this continued, the Karlings fractured and reformed, eventually forming their 'Holy Roman Empire', the East Romans got thrown back by the caliphates and first lost Sicily and eventually Southern Italy to them. And with the weakening of the East and growing power of the North, a religious fracture started to form between both sides as well. With the Romans of course staying with their Pope and being a proper Catholic, while the East Romans diverged in to their Orthodoxy. Also with the Holy Roman Empires central authority slowly breaking down, their long time Gothic rivals in an effort to spurn the Roman Pope sided with the East Romans in this religious conflict, becoming Orthodox themselves, continuing to box Rome in as much as possible. And for the longest time Rome had to just accept all these affronts, as they could not hope to win against these nations to their north or south. Now of course if it were just the Goths alone, or just the imamate to their south alone perhaps they could. But the HRE Emperor would have intervened in the north and their southern neighbors always had powerful backer. But lately this has changed, the Holy Roman Empire has fallen far from what it once was, now other nations tear pieces from it, even internal wars and internal conquests happen, clearly it is weak and opportunities perhaps present themselves north that once did not exist. Their enemy in the south meanwhile finally lacks strong support and is vulnerable. All while Rome itself has fully rebuilt itself in the many centuries, becoming once more a strong power in the world capable of fending for itself. Though of course one other matter also presents itself, having long been the junior of the East Roman Empire, fortunes seem to have greatly reversed n the East. Truthfully reversed far to much, though over their differences and Rome's historically difficult position not much could be done till recently over the Ottoman threat. But perhaps it is time to make the East subservient to Rome once more, as it should always have been. They may resist a bit in their pride, but it would not be so hard now, many of their former island holdings have already been taken as it is. All they'd need is to cripple their southern neighbor and recover the many Roman citizens groaning under their misdeeds and they'd be able to fully focus their armies and more on the Ottomans and remake Rome once more, as it should always have been, under them. I think something like that would make some sense of the current historical configuration. Though perhaps others prefer their own ideas, or have far better ones yet.
I think the most realistic prospect of having a Roman Republic in this era is if Cola Di Rienzos movement 100 years before the start of the game had succeeded
Kind of weird but I also have the Roman sprites even though I bought Imperator Rome a few years after it came out. I think they made this change with the king of kings dlc because before that I never had the sprite
Do a multiplayer RP with a friend and restore the eastern and western roman empires and then proceed to conquer the world together until its split in half in a grand campaign.
If there was a Roman Successor state it would probably be in Italy. Maybe it could be some tiny forgotten mountain state that would be too small and difficult to be captured that it could survive until 1444. Wait that’s San Marino
Bit late to the party but I'd imagine something like the gothic kingdom who already had a lot of the senate, minted roman currency and tried friendly relations to Constsntinople would if we're making a Roman sucessor state transition into a second Roman Republic with gothic and Roman culture mixing a bit. Maybe delegating more power to the senate and having the Kings being dictators for life like Ceasar as to keep favour with the Byzantines since they wouldn't like a king in Rome. Maybe the East had more fierce wars with Khosrow so Italy was better trading partners instead of the target of Belisarius or the plague of Justinian being worse keeping the state too weak to not afford armies taking Italy. By the end of the Empire, Rome was already like a dozen barbarian kingdoms client states making overtures to Revenna. The goths continuing this and embracing Rome instead of a Gothic kingdom might have had a decent chance of surviving for a while. Though the Pope as he gained power and clashed with church and state power sharing could have usurped power in Rome as it did in our timeline. (The pontifacts podcast is very good)
Great video as always Ludi. Thank you for the fun and I can't wait for the next episode. I never thought about making multiple custom nations in a game. Is that possible to do in multi-player?
Actually, the Eastern Roman Empire would probably only survive in Corsica, Sardignia, Sicilia, Malta and Balear. They couldnt stop land invasion but with there superior fleet they would have been able to maintain their grasp on island.
Love Ludi singing Drum Bun, even tho I’m not Romanian, it still somehow makes me want to fight for the Glorious Romanian Empire, one of the best national songs, love it
Side note: The southern Italy portion and byzantine expansion can be easily explained. Justinian's attempts to reclaim the empire could have weakened the south of itally and allowed the muslim exspansion in the area. Rome cound have been spending much of its exsistance for a 1000 years just trying to survive. holding its northern borders, maybe against the goths that became orthidox to support its possible once allies with the byzantines but to also throw shade against the catholic romans. as for them joining the holy roman empire? erm.... maybe it was a decision from a catholic ruler that never converted his people and made a deal to keep them orthidox if they chose, to help strengthen the HRE but to ensure the safty of his people against a roman republic that had finally rebuilt and secured its borders.... I dunno sounds plausable. this was fun
When I was trying to get the "for odin" achievement some years ago I set myself a roleplay run, it went like this: To meet the conditions of just 5 starting provinces and for a pinch of historical backstory, those 5 provinces were the 2 in Greenland and the 3 of Newfoundland. And from there start expanding in North America in order to become strong enough before jumping back to europe. I tried various sets of ideas and units but having the 200 point cap couldn't find the best combination to resist the push of the colonisers in the early 1600s. Do you think with this start would be feasible to get the achievement? Would you like to try a run with this conditions?
You should be able to declare on colonial nations without calling in the overlord if you are a colonial nation yourself, which counts as "any nation whose capital is in the new world." Therefore, when the Spanish, Portugese, British, and French start colonizing, let them get 5 provinces to make a colony, then declare on the colony for free clay.
The thing is with alternative history, for there to be a Rome this big so long after Rome fell in the West all of Europe and the middle East would be drastically different
Ludi, idea - you play as a Pope but every decision has to be pro Catholic Church, pro Clergy, focus on crusading , allying other catholic orders and defending them, etc
Paradox can you make Roman Empire more playable and not require 425 provinces to be formed as Ludi said? Like when you get to this point when you form it there is not much more challange to the game and I am sure everyone would LOOOOVE juicy lore and misions for Rome and not the basic mission tree it has right now. People love this game because its full of history and flavour but the biggest and greates empire of all have no content besides some naval doctrine and goverment reform... like yeeeez. It would be sooo much more fun if you could form some version of Rome much earlier and follow the mission tree to get back the lands, change cultures and also some imaginitve expansion to their history like you did with Teutons for example.
Cant remember what dlc or what but you can finally get the byzantine sprite without having had bought imperator or getting the subscription now. Not sure when they fixed that but it seems somewhat recent
@LudietHistoria Got any tutorial for custom nations? I honestly suck at it. Edit: Before I forgot, during customization, can you give provinces to other nations? Or you can just choose what to add to your custom nation?

if you have time for it can you maybe do a run next with for example the crusader states? lets say the crusades did work out at the end and they kept the conquered lands. i dont know the borders but something like jerusalem up to antioch and cyprus. and as goal maybe something like for the start secure the northern borders of africa to prevent muslim priates from raiding christian coasts and later on with some religious modifyers and ideas conquering and converting all muslim nations or taking all of africa.
"Rome's successor would have the same borders as the Papal states bc the Papal states were the direct successor of Rome" "Rome's successor would have the same borders as the Russians bc the Russians were the direct successor of Rome" "Rome's successor would have the same borders as the Ottomans bc the Ottomans were the direct successor of Rome" "Rome's successor would have the same borders as the HRE bc the HRE were the direct successor of Rome"

we want vic 2
didnt watch it but i already love the comments in the normal games about some historic stuff !
Make one with an entirely custom map that would be cool (or at least europe)
More EU4 movies
We love you too, Lord Ludi. However, I can't help wondering why you haven't made a vid with the famous historical nation of Schnippeldorph yet?

You can't have a Roman empire without Rome and speaking Greek. Pliny the elder would like to have a word with you.
@@PersimmonHurmoshush. It was the Roman Empire.
Yes but Ludi is Romanian and likes money, that title gets more clicks
There were Trebizond, Morea.
@@isaiah107everybody like money,not Only Romanians😂
Funny how the "Roman Republic" is a monarchy. Make more of these kinds of videos!
truly an Agustus moment
That uncut triangle from the camera triggers me...
Same
Genuinely thought my monitor was bugging.
i love your story telling during these types of videos. you should do more of these my man.

This is top tier content i really love the roleplaying aspect of grand strategy games. This is absolutely amazing ludi.
Can't wait Prof. Ludi's history lesson !!!
Honestly I'm not too fond of roman empire-themed things, but also you look like you're having so much fun it's very nice to watch. Id' be down for other videos like that !
I love ludi and i love history
Awesome run Ludi!

You call it Roman Republic, but make it a monarchy. Who do you think you are? Octavian?
When Ludi has fun, I have fun. Let's do a series on this!
1:05 Byzantium💪🔥🔥
Ludi Roleplaying, I'm intrigued from the start ... Let's see if Ludi cannot go full infamy for one video
There's a secret genre of video hidden here. It's like AARs that you find on Reddit and the Paradox forums where they add historical flair, but as you play. I'm surprised no one's made something like this, or maybe they have and it never got popular.
been doing this for a while. you would love my byzantium to new world RP run ua-cam.com/video/EucKEzCl3EQ/v-deo.html
the what if campaigns can be so fun. i did a what if ceaser set sail before his death and colonised south africa
My ideas for a what if campaign is the HRE being formed by the Italian states or France and the German states in the HRE being more united (like maybe have them be united in either culture or region).
Man this just makes me dream of a world where neither Rome ever fell

I think it would be more accurate to create a western roman rump state in Illyria/venetia as was almost historically the case.
The thing is with alternative history, for there to be a Rome this big so long after Rome fell in the West all of Europe and the middle East would be drastically different
Would never have survived in Rome I'm doing a similar play through in ck3, I started with just Malta.
Great video! What about a scenario where Atlantis was real and was in the Madeira Islands?
Why not an orthodox Rome?
Do a video where you remake the Bulgarian Empire!
OG Rome was a monarchy before it was a republic then became empire and then Byzantium.
You maybe misunderstood the RPG concept, it is not "explaining my chnapledoops choices with nonsense excuses" 😂 keep doing your things, ur the best ❤
Video idea why not your fan make a custom nation then you play them it will be so fun
I thought the emperor would named Clickus Maximus
it would've been neat to start off as an OPM
Ludi, idea - you play as a Pope but every decision has to be pro Catholic Church, pro Clergy, focus on crusading , allying other catholic orders and defending them, etc
Ludi is the truest of the Virginicuns.
"All the islands" Meanwhile in Sicily
i'd suggest getting parliment so the "republic" part isn't just a name completely
Well that sounds fun.. i think most cashuals play a kind of role play and not minmaxing....
I know it wasn't that popular but, Last train home part 2 maybe senpaï ???? 🥺👉👈
Yeeessss i lovee thiss ❤❤

Cant remember what dlc or what but you can finally get the byzantine sprite without having had bought imperator or getting the subscription now. Not sure when they fixed that but it seems somewhat recent
Im not sure “raid coasts” ability as an ambition was a good choice, at that point in the game would the income from that even matter? Pls let me know!
I just managed to inherit burgundy as sweden
"So cool that BS..." *cut* "that Paradox"
I see you have been playing too much Tarkov Ludi lol
i got to greedy with a portugal run and got stompd of france yesterday 😀
there is a triangle the whole video on the lower right part (nearby the camera)
@LudietHistoria Got any tutorial for custom nations? I honestly suck at it.
Edit: Before I forgot, during customization, can you give provinces to other nations? Or you can just choose what to add to your custom nation?
Nice, I love uchronias
Venice was founded by Roman refuges escaping the goths, etc. So technically Romans would not have to take it back.
The piece of green screen peeling off is so Romanian

Steagul să lucească, steagul, pentru el trăim,
Țara să-nflorească, țara, pentru ea murim, drum bun!

Maybe the bizantium didn t collapse so much in that timeline
What are you waiting for the part 2?
if you have time for it can you maybe do a run next with for example the crusader states? lets say the crusades did work out at the end and they kept the conquered lands. i dont know the borders but something like jerusalem up to antioch and cyprus. and as goal maybe something like for the start secure the northern borders of africa to prevent muslim priates from raiding christian coasts and later on with some religious modifyers and ideas conquering and converting all muslim nations or taking all of africa.
ottomans never claimed to be romans but if the byzantium is the eastren rome then son of an byzantine princess should be a claimant to roma
Why the Roman REPUBLIC is a monarchy?
"Rome's successor would have the same borders as the Papal states bc the Papal states were the direct successor of Rome"
"Rome's successor would have the same borders as the Russians bc the Russians were the direct successor of Rome"
"Rome's successor would have the same borders as the Ottomans bc the Ottomans were the direct successor of Rome"
"Rome's successor would have the same borders as the HRE bc the HRE were the direct successor of Rome"
When will the next stream be
Dispatch Poland in to small nations and pickup one and unite all slavs :D
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ludi ! Plz bro make a video on Bharat
Dumb question maybe, but how can he have 800 points for creatin a custom nation. I always have 200 only
You have to go into game settings when setting up your game and set the custom nation difficulty to very easy.
Oh thx
Go do more of 5his now pls
Imo the process of building and giving backstories to the nations was more interesting then the actual game
Part 2 when?
