@@SnapStrategyThat would be fun! It was a really funny campaign overall- I got challenged to play as Ælla and then spun a wheel of every realm founding decision in the game. I ended up landing on Israel, so I ended up having to murder ALL of the Sigurdrs, take Sardinia, then Crete, then the holy land. I actually managed to get the Dynasty of Many Thrones decision and achievement in this run. The key is to basically always be murdering Sigurdrs. As soon as you kill Halfdan and Ivar, kill their brothers and sons. Every year two of them need to be dying. Focus on Ivar first- if you can capture his capital, you can pretty easily win the war if you pick your battles well. Kill him fast enough and you can capture the new Jarl that inherits from him. After beating Ivar, you just need to un-siege your own stuff or siege some of Jorvik to keep the war score manageable. If you can have some more kids, marry them off as soon as possible (you can do this with your daughter if you murder Sigurd) to help you beat Jorvik. Whenever you see an opening, go for the capital and try for a good capture- a well-timed murder will leave a child on the throne, so you can capture them more easily. Once you win both wars you can actually form England pretty quickly and vassalize the other Christians. Other funny discovery I made: if you murder enough Sigurdr dynasty members, Saga (Halfdan’s wife) will end up becoming Jarl of Jorvik!
Fun fact the North Sea Empire once existed when Danish Knud the Great took England in 1016 and became king of England. In 1018 he inherited the Danish kingdom from his brother who died. then later in his life in 1028 he also become king of Norway. He was king of these three kingdoms until his death in 1035.
Aella foresaw his death by blood eagle method. He was so determined to avoid this, he was prepared to use any tool at his disposal, including save summing
If you were feeling up to a part two. I'd love to see you take and hold the capitals of France and Kyiv. Form those kingdoms as this Dynasty through maxing out "play tall" strategies. Maybe show off why creating things like Universities, Great Amphitheatres, etc. are so dope. Idk. But to see the High King of the North as the De Jure King and Duchy Holder of Paris, London, Kyiv, and Denmark (I always forget Denmark's). Would be dope 🤙🏿🍻
My personal idea would be to make one super strong Duke Vassal out of all of North Umbria and Jorvik. Then grant that Duke ownership of your County titles in Norway. Kingdom War for Normandy. Then make that Duke the King of Norway and a Vassal King. Give him War Declaration Rights and make him pay the Highest Taxes possible (Id even make them A Platinum Contract with Council Rights to ensure Max Taxes). Then you could conquer Kyiv. I'd especially like to see a super culture formed that's been hybridized like 4-5 times with roots in Paris, London, Denmark, and Kyiv. Sorry, sure you won't read all this. But I dig the content and just wanted to share my two cents.
When this video started playing it was on 0.25x speed, and my brain couldn’t process why a robotic, pitch shifted, massively inebriated Arnold Schwarzenegger was vocalizing at the intro to your video.
Random bugbear of mine, if you click end entrenched Regency it moves the bar down even if they refuse. Can use that and swing the scales to get it down faster.
@@SnapStrategy good stuff good stuff, I only found it out due to doing a lot of custom games where I start age 2-6, can make pretty broken starter characters within the 400 limit if you get lucky on traits. Anywhoo, keep up the good content :)
One thing i would reccomend is the mod Murder is a crime. Its INSANE that yoh can know your regent murdered your father and you cant arrest them. Its such an oversight by paradox. Murder should always be a capitol crime. The mod is actally nice.
I'm surprised you don't go for the duchy of Hwicce, as they have the Forest of Dean gold mine. Money for ages when you upgrade it. As a king, you can hold two duchies, but I never bothered with London. It sounds like I should reconsider if I get the opportunity.
Can you make a video where you play as a vassal of the pope and help him take over all of Europe? Then either crusade or create new religion and usurp the papacy? 🎉
i love this game, always fun focusing on your area trying to expand and develop. then deciding you want to see how the world has progressed and finding out the only two powers in the british isles is the kingdom of Alba and Wales.
I had to save scum a legal file for the first time in FOREVER. I had to go back one generation to the previous ruler because I didn't have a county that had my hybrid culture. I had to go back and immediately make my capital Anglo-Breton. On that particular playthrough, my son died and my grandson was the heir. No problem, all good. He was the king of Galicia. I had Brittany, and conquered much of Britain. That guy was chaste and was raising another man's kids with his wife. Couldn't disinherit the kids, and I didn't want to gamble fishing for secrets in my court to declare them bastards. I then found out, on top of all that, that he was Galician culture....and no cultural county under my control so I could switch to it.
For Ivar's war is enough to defeat those two armies which land coming from York. With mercs you can attack them, but you need to do that while they still have the disembarking malus. And at 25% or so warscore they will white peace. For the southern war I've never found any strat.
It’s funny because he need the Norse culture to mix with the French to then mix with the Anglo -Saxon to get English culture to actually need a reason to use London it was just a Roman Rune the capital of England was different place
was hoping for the monday coming up! But had to get a new mic set up! which just arrived so the following monday! i have some recorded and edited but want a good chuck done in advance haha
I dont understand why I cant create the North Sea Empire title, the decision just isnt there. Do I have to buy a dlc or something. Please can somebody explain it to me?
Play the only rabbanic Jew character in the game (Should be in Khazaria, in the area of Crimea) and conquer and reform Israel/ (You could potentially continue and go to get "The Promised land" conquering all the way from Iraq to Egypt)

Nice! VERY IMPRESSIVE!
But can you play as HAESTEINN?!?
This is an official Koifish challenge 🐒
If this man doesn’t play Hæsteinn for 1 week he will die
Count Haesteinn simulator
Damn i was going to say ill try Haesteinn make the Mongol empire but you have already done it!! what havent you done with him lmao
It's actually possible to win both wars as Ælla! I did it in a campaign once. It took a lot of attempts and a LOT of murder, but I did it!
damn really!! could be a fun short video in the future just to try with them both!

Just had to one-up koifish with the tougher start huh?
True lol
😂
Now he needs to cuck him by making a haestein video
Koi is a little video thief, so we’ll deserved
Haestinn is easily one of the easiest starts lmao

copenhagen is the capital of denmark by the way

murder typically is a crime in most faiths, you just can't arrest an influential enough regent
Vikings when you raid them: **confused screaming**
Pro tip! There is a new achievment compatible rule that alliws you to have bonus domain limit up to 3 more, pretty nice i would say
First time I’ve watched a short and followed through to the video to watch the full thing. Good job 👍
My current campaign I started as Dyre the Stranger so it hurt watching all the homies get merked off in this video.
Honestly they are my favorite characters hurt me too lmao
You should play lord of the rings immersion mod, I love your videos by the way keep it up
I was suppose to record a LOTR video yesterday but having mic issues! So hoping to get that done tomorrow haha, and thankyou!
@@SnapStrategy keep it up man I know these videos aren't easy to make I love your channel. Keep posting
Again such a great video, love the content. Would definitely watch you stream this
Thankyou! I keep meaning to get consistent streams going but never happens haha
Did you forget that the northern isles and Iceland are also de jure, reducing the time to get the title and wars with sweden
It's too bad that there's no achievements for playing as Aella and being able to survive the great heathen army!
Hey Snap, can you start in 1066 somewhere in Siberia and survive the Mongol onslaught?
What flavor pack are you using these helmets of the Anglo Saxons look cool
WELCOME BACK KING 👑

I had the worst game, started as a viking went to sardinia I got the incapable trait with no heirs.
Honestly i dont mind the new sudden deaths, but just hate being incapable its so boring!

Why tf does he sound like laith I just realized like 2 videos ago
What mods do you have installed?
you should do a world conquest challenge, if you havent already
honestly i might, but im not sure seems really annoying to do haha
@@SnapStrategyI would watch every minute of it
@@henrygolfer4836me too
@@SnapStrategythat would've been more possible probably without tours and tourneys like when ziely did the challenge
@@SnapStrategyit is annoying but not as much as playing from start to finish
Just yesterday Koifish made the same video about the North Sea Empire. Bad timing on your end :D
yep haha! not great lmao
Hell I think it's great timing. Gives the viewers two different perspectives on the same goal.
And both vids are great!
Not bad timing at all! There's only so many starts in this game! :D Really happy to see it done by a NON VIKING start!
@@Koifish I really like both of your channels :D

A Danelander? is that a combination between a highlander and a Danish Man?
Anyway awesome video
It’s funny because he need the Norse culture to mix with the French to then mix with the Anglo -Saxon to get English culture to actually need a reason to use London it was just a Roman Rune the capital of England was different place
You better than me saying no to your grandson cause his papy was a viking. 😂😂😂 That 2,900 troops could have fought all your wars for you.
The king doesn’t own London because the capital was Winchester back then
Are these animations in game? Or just for effect on YT? Never seen anything at all like it in my limited experience of CK3
Did u install a mod in order to get access to those decisions?
no, I just looked it up it seems the north sea empire is a part of the Northern Lords DLC
@@SnapStrategy aaaah right. Im new to the game so I havent committed to the DLCs yet. Thanks :)
Hey snap when are you going to post long videos on the other channel, love your vids

Count Benjamin of Tmuratkan in 867 if anyone's curious
Either way we're still coming for you 😂
Really weird to sea that be done with a non-viking xD

Ragnar Lothbrok had it coming.
I tought this was a koifish video
Great video

Play sauruman of isengard
Can you please form the sultanate of rum
intro gameplay
edit: wtf is this comment i dont remember this

bro this is ez i challenge you to play in 1066 in cornwall with that af münso woman try that and then tell me if northumbria is easy or not
ok but giving just 3 learning to ragnar is kinda stupid, isn’t it?
Denmahhhh!
