Omg i love your voice man
Gods alive man, Squire I do love your sense of humour, this was hilarious
I thought that was tou XD
You were in San Antonio?! Man.
I freaking love your channel, the first of your videos I watched made me an instant fan and an instant subscriber. Keep doing the fucking sweet work you do.
"Right. Does anyone want to join a plot?" - This was so on point i wondered if this was a trailer for the new DLC
Never!

black wall I mean I once played a game where I got my liege’s entire council to join a plot against him because he cucked me (the reverse happened a few years later (hre multiplayer game))
This is so true to the games mechanics "What do you mean your plotting to take the throne from me, YOU HELPED ME get this throne!"
"Yeah... But that Throne looks comfy, and now that u got it , I want it... So die!!!!."
Seriously what is this game?
It Crusader Kings II(aka CK2) it is a paradox grand strategy game set in the Middle Ages
You know it could be roleplayed as wanting to get rid of a popular king with a bad one that has a claim, so it's easier to take the throne for oneself from the latter.
@@MeidoInHebun yeah, besides, sometimes they disgrace you with your wife, or murder your mother that was spying on them, or burn your daughter at the stake as a heretic. Then they're dead. Or, if your Greek, castrated. That's always fun.
"Right does anyone want to join a plot?"
-A summary of MacBeth
You Sir, could have saved me hours and hours in high school! But excellent summation!
Still read this in iambic pentameter.
"England only has 6 different face types"
Living in Exeter, you sir speak some truth there
Which number of face type did you pick for yourself ;)?
@@theblackbaron4119 He didn't, his face fluctuates between the 6

which facetype is the Cornish one again?
Cornwall has 5.
Too unrealistic, not enough 3 year olds in regencies.
Who are then inexplicably hated by the people who brought them up.
I actually didn't really had such problem. But in other hand, I usually play with pagans, like vikings, means I have lot of people to be elected as new king - and if some of them dies, it usually just means that kingdom suffers less when next king dies...
Only to die in their 16th birthday, leaving the throne to... their 2 year old cousin.
Or he steps into the throne room, someone chucks a rock at him, and he's infirm for 45 years.
In my last game (I should continue it...), I had 5 kings in 4 years. All of them adults. My kingdom was split so many times in pieces that it was even united back! Fifth king in that period was dullest (literally "dull") grandson of king who died 4 years earlier. BUT, he was brilliat strategist. Incredible one. And master of melee combat too! So, besicly he don't understand about shit of anything, excempt how murder masses of people and stay alive. And he is kind of king who will have long long reign. (I think he already had reign of 10 years, and seems nothing is going to kill him...).
In the later years of the Roman Empire, there was a least one emperor who was crowned at the age of three

"Long may he reign"

"May he reign long enough for someone to conceivably run away and change their identity."
"Does anyone want to join a plot?"
No matter who else hates you, always make friends with your spymaster for exactly this reason.
Or provoke that person to civil war with raiding on. Take all their titles when the war is over and banish them. $$$$
Make them a court hester insult them give them council positions or mentor ones only to take them away a revolt should follow
2:36 Missed opportunity to say "Someone has killed the king! And with a chicken no less!"
My name is Greg and I've killed a chicken with a man!
Diplomancy
That would be highly unrealistic.
Greg lived in a Republic.
king was killed with his own sword on an appuncture session
Hey, the english King killed my Cat during battle, I feel completely justified in murdering his entire Dynasty.
It's the only rational response.
Justified
How did you bring a cat to battle and how did you murder the entire dynasty unless they kill themselves (you know when they become courtiers and doesn’t marry
@@yaujj65 shh
@@yaujj65 There is an event where you get a pet cat which follows you around (granting +1 health, +1Intrigue iirc). If you lead troops, that cat can be killed in battle.
Killing of a Dynasty is not that difficult. Just search for any living member and use a combination of assassination plots, satanist abilities and duels. If everything else fails, declare war and kill them on the battlefield or imprison and execute them once you have conquered their lands.
Allison Edge Meter: 4.5
Where is Allison, you say? Try the disembodied arm that keeps appearing to place the death crown upon the heads of all of these worthy gentlemen. The arm that almost certainly is a silent partner in the plots. Oh, and the whole part about killing her husband over and over.
Yeah, Ali-arm is definitely spymaster.
It's about time you made a CK2 video!
But they did't talk about shagging they sisters ir marrying a horse
(Disclaimer: It's a joke about the game)

fabricating for only 7 years? lucky
@@ravensshade moral authority is very important in conversion maybe it wasnt high enough?
you can get really unlucky with claims, but it doesnt usually that that long. and the most fun playing as catholics is building a dynastic empire, marrying into all the royal houses and then taking them for yourself or at least your family whilst your main title is set to seniority.
Seriously, mid and late game you shouldnt be using fabricate claim almost at all. It is objectively the worst way to expand. Invite claimants, land them, then press their claim. Far faster and far more reliable
This is why you go Lollard
EDIT: For until you forge your empire and get a border with the Umayyads or Abbasids. Then it's holy war city!
Chez Master Austin137 Keep in mind, he wasn't done yet.
"Yesterday I opened a book and it drove me insane" I relate to this sentence on a spiritual level
The king is dead, long live the king ....
And that's how the entire dynasty was ended.
'Strong...cruel... does a lot of torture' - Squire's delivery in this video is, as always, absolutely bang on. Always appreciate his appearances in your videos.
Bar Satanic cults, Glitterhoof and occasionally discovering that your Daughter is actually a bear, this does a pretty good job at summing up my everyday experiences in CK2. If only real life were so chaotic...
wait a bear? how did THAT happen?
@@HunterDrone Apparently I gave birth to a bear and didn't notice for 30 years... I did think the baby was a but hairy
Just wait a few centuries for the polar bears.
And the immortality event that kills 99/100 times

So unrealistic!
I was killed by exploding manure as my last ruler in a recent game. I was sort of waiting for him to go so I could be Jewish again (I had to convert when Carpathia was targeted for a crusade...), but now I kinda miss allies. D:
When you somehow assign the guy with 20 Intrigue and Ambitious to be your Court Chaplain when you meant to make him your Spymaster
Making a guy with 20 intrigue and Ambitious your Spymaster is a great way to commit suicide.
You will have no problem if you have good relationship with him. If he hates you, you character will meet an extortionist hobo who is also an assassin and ask for $7.

I expected it to end with a horse being king
Christ, isnt this the truth. The council always seems to know the best ways to drive the Kingdom into the ground, and every poor sod who becomes King is in more danger from his own council than the plague. This game is amazing, lol
seriously though the second you give the council any leeway into actually ruling a country you know its fucked now
Sound like the parliament right ?
Generally safest to have a heathen and foreign spymaster than one on the same culture and religion
Non-Agglutinative Krenak that’s what I do conquer a new nation then use them preferably pagans they have some decent stats in my games
The thing is it is much much much harder for people to get foreign heathens to act against you in game specially if they like you. Specially harder since they do not like anyone in your court and no one likes them so no one is above suspicion. Historically puting religious or ethnic minorities in administrative positions or roles with authority has not sat well with people in the know or who were accustomed to holding those positions by default and in turn by the transitive property oftentimes with the bulk of the population but tons of rulers used them because they had more skin in the game than the other advisors since something bad happening to the ruler tended to mean something about as bad or much much worse happening to them those that follow their beliefs or match their race at a much higher percentage than any other advisor.
"England only has about six different face types" > See?! How can some continue to pretend that CKII lacks realism?
Headcanon:
That last King was killed by the Swashbuckling Man from Diplomancy
They're already making it to the ceremony? Assassins are getting lazy.
Stuck in Wales for ONLY 7 YEARS!
This man is obviously a diplomacy 20
This Squire guy is really good.
I love it when I start a plot against a courtier and every new courtier who joins my court immediately joins the plot like their signing up for the kingdom's newsletter.
I just realized that at 2:10 when he says “that one was both of us, yeah?” He is indicating that they both were part of the Assasination plot 😂
Do one with the Boat Mormons as a secret society
I am a Latter day Saint. I second this motion. It could be a heresy that appears when you find the ARK of the covenant :)
I’m surprised he didn’t immediately turn into Kyle when he stood up to take the throne.
Aaah King Basil, the greatest monarch we've ever had

Civil war in ten years? That’s probably the longest period of peace I've ever had
Absolutely brilliant, this really is one of your best to date and that is saying something

0:55 he tried to control his smile and was successful
Accuracies through the roof.
Should do a Byzantium one next. (Looks at the sundial) "Looks like it time for *another* civil war again... How many have we been through, 30, 40?" "62 to be precise" "I was close enough! If only they could stop fighting me and start fighting our enemies!"
The dialogue was great and very well-delivered, and, as usual, you got me with the last line.
Love it! Perhaps a Stellaris one next?
You know it's EU4 and HoI before Stellaris, or was that Vic II?
This is painfully accurate.

I once had a ruler last two months in game, his was the longest rain.
Quite a ruler if he could control the weather like that.
Then there was a great drought, and he was sacrificed by a Satanic cult to appease the Dark Lord.

Glitterhoof !
1:40 Somehow i find that to be the funniest moment in the vid.
The proper term is venomous snake, not poisonous snake. I demand that you re-record and repost the video to fix this minor error!!!
Who's to say that his hobby wasn't snake eating
Not in Dark Age alternative history Europe that's being invaded by the Aztec is aint', me horse sister daughter mother wife spymaster glitterhoof told me so!
What if they took unvenomous snake and added poison on its teeth? Wouldn't it make snake "poisonous"?
No, a bunch of snakes fell into his mouth while he was sleeping. Accidentally. It was his own fault, for keeping a Snerricks TM Patented Snake Funnel by his bedside.
Snakes are actually rather dry. I demand that you re-record and repost the video to erroneously call snakes slimy!
this remains one of my favorite videos you have ever done,....please make another one for Cursaders 3
You forgot that the heir joined the gavalkind faction.
"Yesterday I opened a book and it drove me insane."
Anyone else notice that the leper king who was left handed use his right hand to drink
This is one of the best things you've done. I need to hear more of Squire describing people in terms of CK2 traits.
Wait, is this the history channel, where did the Door Monster go.
If it's History Channel, it's missing some aliens....
The delivery of the final punchline is damn perfect.
I had a bastard and so I sent him to the Teutonic order, he then became the leader of it. Wish I could legitimize him. Proud of my boy
0:57. I love how he can't hide his smile. It is adorable.

Coronavirus: *Interesting choice of words...*
Welcome back to the loving embrace of Paradox games!
Let's all take a minute to appreciate Squire's acting. He really put on a good performance with great inflection and tone changes when appropriate.
Is Squire always doing an extravagant British accent in your videos, or is that just how he talks?
Given his own channel and appearance on the Tank Museum's top five series. I think this is how he naturally talks XD
That's how he talks
I mean, his name is Squire. Why would you assume he is even capable of speaking in any other voice?
Fair enough lmao
I suspect hes actually from Louisiana and has a strong Cajun patois. Hes merely a good actor.
"I opened a book the other day and it drove me insane!" That bloody thing...
"I have like a 80% chance of becoming a possesed lunatic, but those +2 learning are dang worth it"
-me in every campaign ever
@@samuelladrillo5281 Besides; "A book of mysterious lore...eh, probably not important, on my way, do di do..." What kind of a story is that?
@@GriffinPilgrim the roleplay value is more important than keeping your sanity, that is why I spend excesive amonts of effort and manpower on just raiding the fuck out of france every couple years
That man is obscenely British
Squire and Door Monster making a video together?
That is so amazing.
Arthur, Gregor... These names are all too normal.
I'm pretty sure there're more Buttfaces or Assclowns in CK2 than your rival in pokemon.
"I liked him you know?"
*Has +1 approval*
Don't forget the inevitable civil war!
I will not be blackmailed!
It isnt a real succession of the throne if it isnt followed by a civil war
Ehh civil wars are easy to prevent. Ever since Conclave and Charlemagne I haven’t had to deal with civil wars. And if you do, make sure you have enough Levies (not counting retinues) to beat down the majority of your vassals
@@Gothic7876 , Why would you want to prevent civil wars? They are an excellent way levy a bit extra taxes from nobles.
I love how the Squire/Chancellor and Court Chaplain were basically having a "who can murder the king first" contest, then the Chancellor realized he was next in line and likely to be murdered by the Chaplain, so he maneuvered the Chaplain into taking the position first to murder him instead.
*Get's inherited by Norway*
Squire's mention of his sister being married to the king's uncle and that putting him in succession reminded me how my character married his aunt to a Byzantium prince and decades later his (the character's) son became the emperor after Byzantium nobles rebelled in a civil war and overthrew their new emperor.
A brilliant Door Monster video, but which aren't!?
0:46 Never sneeze and drive
1:48 - I WISH disfigured characters in Crusader Kings II looked like that. Instead they wear Phantom Of The Opera masks.
They need to make one about the court physician. That guy is an endless source of entertainment. Please more CK2, you are doing a great job.
Reminds me of Medievil TW 2 (with the Pope):
Me: *minding my own buisness*
Whole of christianity: *attacks without mercy*
Me: *defends myself*
Pope: "YOU MONSTER, MAY YOU BURN IN HELL!"
Me: "Oh! It seems there has opened up a spot as the pope*
*cicle repeats like in the video*
Squire has a most excellent voice, I'm glad to see he came back for another vid.
the leper should have stayed king and somehow be the greatest king of all time
If only our immortal God-King had better planned out his line of succession. Real unfortunate he disappeared the same day our spymaster invented this perpetual motion machine.
"Long may he reign. Unlike his father."
10 seconds later.
"Not his son. It's his twin brother."
Impressed with Squire's acting
I feel like you could remove the reference to CK2 and claimed this video was about actual history and it would fit just as well.
I have watched this at least, around ten times and I finally noticed that club footed and stepping up joke
No random han chinese heir mixed in? Must be very early on in the campaign.
In one of my recent games I glanced down to North Africa and saw a small independent country lead by a Han Chinese Jew and his one province was Yazidi... then I glance out in the steppe and find a bunch of Czech Catholics hanging out.
@@labrynianrebel my favorite game was where I started in Cornwall, then made the Roman Empire Jewish Again. It was a wild ride.
@@labrynianrebel My Campaign ended with a British Invasion of China in a war of succession, Britain being the Modern Day USSR

I volunteer to join the plot!
Also, all comments are in a Squire voice now. Can't help it.
this is my favorite door monster video
Nice video and all but why did the Croats gain full control of Jerusalem?
With the way real life is going I think a Plot is a Marvelous idea.
Never played CK but this was absolutely wonderful to watch. It'd probably be a little difficult to plan but I think a Kingdom Come: Deliverance video would fit this channel pretty well if you put your minds to it!
Having played CK2 a lot, this is only slightly exaggerated. Basically every word out of their mouths is a reference to some game mechanic or design quirk.
its a door monster upload AND a squire upload rolled into one! it must be an act of divine mercy.
My games largely consist of me plotting against my own children because they suck, and the good one is last in line....
This game, as well as Crusaders Kings 3, definitely makes me think like Tywin Lannister.
I love the mockups of ck2 portraits in the thumbnail. Well done!
