Should I make a Brittanic empire with Brittany, or should I switch crowns? I'm leaning towards keeping with Brittany and just making as much territory I can de jure to that title. I started out as Brittany, conquered most of Ireland (save one county that another kingdom has, due to them winning a war before I could fight for it), and I conquered most of England to the point I can usurp the crown. I'm probably going to hold off on that, but right now I need some advice. Should I focus on building up and set things up for when I get arched saddles in 20 years? I am anglo-breton with access to huscarls, but heavy cav literally hit different. Should I step away from skirmishers and archery for the heavier hitters? That is my main question, any other points you are willing to offer are icing on the cake.
I watch your vids and made sure to take over the Duchy of Hwicc as early as possible, because it has the Forest of Dean Mining Settlement.
Is there a more chad move than releasing your enemy's king just so that you can beat them up more?
well, if you're norse asatru and capture a king who is your rival you get an event to execute them on the battlefield. the quote is something like "this war is over, but only for you."
i think thats slightly more chad.
"That was fun. Go, raise another army and meet me again!"
I've done that three times in one war before. 200 gold each time, after all. If you know you're going to win anyway, why not?
This was even easier in CK2 because the war was never forced to end you could just keep going. So I would completely 100% siege entire empires late game then ransom everyone back and peace out
Our man Zieley 💪
Don’t you hate it when the Scottish Yemenis try to take your Jewish Ethiopia after the Greek Nubians fail? Mashuggeneh!
Catholic Beduin-Scots, of all things. Did the crusades go weird places again?
Bro captured the king and ransomed him just to send the message 💀
A Crossbowman with 4000 attack?
Get them for every future army!
That "crossbow" probably fires .50 cal
Hey Zieley, at the end of these save runs, could you maybe take us through what's happening around the world map? Would be interesting to see what has transpired in these 300+ year saves!
Seconded! One of my favourite things in CK3 games is when someone will pull back and you'll briefly glimpse that, like, all of Scandinavia belongs to the Ottomans now
@@TheHopperUK in my save the empire of Britannia was created by the irish
@@libenhagos9335 Hell yeah I have one Irish parent and one English parent, it woulda settled a few arguments
@@TheHopperUKOttomans? They almost never form given how strong the Byzantines are in ck3, the Ottomans are more of a EU4 time period thing.
@@clovebeans713 It was an example
Just an FYI, Im pretty sure the men at arms become non station after the county gets taken by an enemy.
Yeah I would guess that the original player did have them stationed in his counties until all his land got grabbed in the holy war
I love how you get primogeniture and then IMMEDIATELY take a vast tract of land that would absolutely enable you to not have to worry about succession because all your core land would remain your heir's.
Every time I played CK3, when I had a big amount of land and wasn't in primogeniture, my heirs will split it away anyway, I don't know what you're talking about ^^'
@@krankarvolund7771 If you have two heirs, and one core duchy you want to keep, conquering a second duchy means your secondary heir will take the other duchy, not your core lands.
@@000Dragon50000 Yeah, but I still lose a lot of lands XD
Any chance we ever get some "blooper" compilation of saves you actually couldn't save (not to doubt your skills, O High One). Maybe for a milestone like 85k?
Its also a great way to learn what you have to prevent at all cost.
Great idea!
If only you were around in 1936

hoi 4 start date 😭
Hehe to save Spain from Franco, right?
: - \
To save Spain from Franco... Right?
@@CHex. to save china from mao, right??
To save Ethiopia from Italy right?
Right...
Sometimes, I forget how hard CK is since I always play so safe early and grow rapidly mid game, I always end up OP later. Ive been making mistakes recdntly like misjudging battles and nearly losing wars but keep getting saved by MAA. Thats why I love this series, it keeps teaching me new stuff.
With how strong they've made men at arms, I would like for their to be some way to boost the power for levies. Maybe a culture or religious option to boost the attack, make the peasant wave possible, or tie it to the average development of your holdings. Richer peasants equals better gear than a rusty pitchfork.
2:38 I don't think the AI knew how to do that. I think they just split up to avoid attrition as usual, but that required splitting into enough different armies that, to remain close to the besieging army, they would end up filling every holding bordering it.

i bet all the problems stem from him starting in 1066
never start in 1066
Why?
@@Bloodlyshiva I'd certainly disagree with OP's claim to "never start in 1066". It highly depends on what nation you play and what you want to achieve. He does have a point if you are going to play an underdog nation or trying to champion a minority faith. The gap in development, technology and strength between different nations is much higher in 1066 than it is in 867. In 867, even the most advanced nations have just barely entered the early middle ages with few technologies unlocked, so if you are playing an underdeveloped tribal, you have a much easier time catching up starting in 867 than in 1066, when some nations start ready to transition into the high medieval era while others are still stuck in tribal. Also Catholicism and the big Islamic faiths are much more dominant in 1066 than in 867, so you'll have a particularly hard time trying to play as a Jewish or pagan ruler with powerful Islamic or Christian neighbours. If you play as a highly developed European Catholic nation or middle east Islamic nation, you won't see much of a difference in difficulty, but getting a foothold playing as an underdog is certainly more difficult in 1066. That said, building huge empires and steamrolling everybody with ease does get old at some point and the games in which you struggle for survival tend to be the most fun and rewarding, so why not start in 1066 as the last Swedish Asatru duke and try to dismantle the papacy? ;-)
"im shocked the computer knows how to do that" so i see this happen a lot in crusades, the AI will want to be a mega death stack but they will only keep enough troops on and around a siege so that there is enough supply for all the armies i.e. a 50k stack of men will split down enough so that the supply of that region can support the army. I actually believe this is where Crusades have issues because then the AI is torn between Siege and Battle allowing for the opposition to stack wipe and win the Crusade. They are also torn because they know the supply limit isnt enough for the full stack of Crusading Troops and so they don't want to go onto that tile. Now saying this, I could be totally wrong however this is just from observation of my games
Amazing video as always! Can you make a video trying to form the Siberian Empire? I mean, the guys culture there is like tribal with only 2 discoveries, it would be fun to see you making those ooga boogas become smart by playing tall :)
there is also constant chaos against the mongols! and the rule would be that you can't form a hybrid culture ok?
I love that there's a random Scottish guy ruling Yeman in this game.
Pro Tip: surviving as Gideon start, best thing to do is become a vassal to a lord with good term (relig freedom) and you can help the liege expand whilst you remain the strongest top level vassal.
This works in general but especially useful for religion groups with very few counties.

Another great one mate! Love these disaster videos
@Zieley really used music from Dune when taking about knights at 11:00 lol
God this series is soooo good! Do you ever plan of doing videos on total conversion mods like AGOT or Elder Kings?
Wow, I love this game and you sir, run it like a boss. Subbed!!
Awesome. I always learn so much. I’d love some tips on distributing land after a war in a future video :)
Give it to your family, extra sons other than the heir, brothers, Super strong knights who you can marry to your daughters and give them the land
Those men at arms look good. One of regions I've really liked playing lately has been Georgia because of their heavy calvary that actually get a bonus in mountains/hills. They are pretty broken.
not gonna lie. looking at the men-at-arms he has build is making me sad..
light horses and camel in mostly hill/mountain terrain, and almost no pikes ;(
It's been quite a while since you last did the One County challenge and the game has changed a lot since then, would you be interested in doing it again to see just how far you can go now, in a post Tours and Tournaments world?
It's gotta be more interesting now with Activities
I love these videos!! I am learning so much watching how you fix things just as much as when you start from scratch. Quick question: Do you invest in upgrading the buildings of your vassals, as well, or only your own holdings? I am guessing only your own unless you have absolutely nothing left to spend on, but wanted your take. Can't wait for the next one!
Guard: Go, you're free.
Enemy Ruler: What? Is this a trap?
Guard: Just go, and don't get caught again too fast.
your videos are like a therapy for me lol
Challenge- Have the best Empire; highest development, most troops, most religious sites, best royal court, et cetera.
Stipulations: 1) Start with one unpretentious barony.
2) No more than one barony per county.
3) All baronies must be in multi-barony counties.
4) No barony (in different counties) may be geographically adjacent.
I think you can do it.
As a new player this series is very useful for me learning all the features and strategies of the game.
I love watching these saving the saves videos
i know i'm asking this much, but can you make a barren ass county into literally stellaris level place
He did that with those Volcanic islands off the coast of Gibraltar.
@@whatismynameohwhatismyname yea you right, but i want to see the full potential with the latest patch

I’ve gotten too good at this game and need a new hobby. I’m looking at this guy’s save like, idk how he made it that far in the first place. Good job saving the file, Zieley! That capture at the start was hilarious 😂
I learn so much from these "save my game" videos.
Freakin love your content
I wish I would have saved a game file for you. I was playing as the Byzantine emperor in the early start and had 5 wars going on for my title. You wipe one army but you couldn't chase people down without another faction raising their war score. It took me 40 years to have peace.
In such times its often beneficial to capture family members of your enemy.
Even if you lose the war, they lose more...
@@molybdaen11 😂😂
@@molybdaen11 I was so mad towards the end I was executing all my prisoners
@@CurtisBallard I know the feeling, lost lore rally half of Africa once in a civil war.
Luckily my enemy had no heirs...
when you released the king this became a certified zieley classic
Nah the thumbnail "black Jews in trouble" 💀💀
Straightforward
This video is why I think every player should experience "playing Tall" at least once. I know its not as optimal in the recent updates, but it forces you to learn how to optimize and upgrade buildings and teaches you the value in doing so.
Awesome!
So weird that I only get that "who told you that?" Reference because my shorts algorithm showed me those videos like 2 weeks ago 😂
Bro I like your videos the best. I have a request could you please make a tall gameplay in england, preferably as Alfred
Yemen declares war on Zieley.
Zieley: You're not that guy pal. You're not that guy.
Here’s a challenge for ya, do a random leader, and you have to only use the culture you spawn with and the religion. If it’s tribal or clan you have to stay that way. Difficulty will vary, you can start with world dom, then go to surviving as your empire then as a Dutchy then barony and then finally just a one county. Would love to see something like this
I gave in and bought chapter 2. It actually makes tall duchies fun because you have more to do. I honestly hate having kingdom+ after royal court LOL
YEEEEAAAHHH viewer save file!!❤ Love from me and my friend owen
You made that look way too easy haha
Great video.
I liked the earlier thumbnail, about black jews in trouble, lol. Delightfully clickbait, while seemingly not inaccurate
Lol I did something similar with my Kingdom Of Uzushiogakure (Island of Visby) playthrough. Had max defender advantage with Marches and Ringmur and horsemen. Every Norse raid and war was labeled as a slaughter to the Norse
7:50 The disrespect 😂😂😂
I’ve honestly thought about creating the worst game possible and sending it in. Maybe the Skyrim map or a empire split between 1000s of miles .
There is a challenge I would like you to try but I don't think it's gonna as fun as the usual ones. Try to get as many positive traits possible on a single character beside congenital traits, things like shrewd, wise man, blademaster, etc.
If Zieley existed in 1000 AD israel would be speaking Tigrinya right now.
HECK YEAH! NEW ZIELEY DISASTER SAVE VIDEO! WOOOO
I'm doing a Jewish Ethiopia run rn. It's a ton of fun, I highly recommend.
Show respect to the don
Hi @Zieley, where do I find my save games of Ck3?
I really like your teaching of game mechanic but....I think it will be really cool too if you could post more game breaking content. Like for example using the duplicate building exploit to really get strong men at arms or just REALLY TALL. or 100 stat man with achievement. For people who love breaking the game.
hey zieley would you make videos about ck2 save files as well?
I adore your videos
28:30 Bedouin-Scots!?
Idk WTF happened, but obviously the most interesting part of this game was the SCOTTISH YEMENÍ KINGDOM!!!
Have you ever gotten sent back a save you fixed before
I love that little stupid knight at the start :P
Man the AI makes such random Big Brain moves the dev work is honestly impressive. Like you said the forethought to do some of the things they do is insane sometimes.
Best edits on YT
During the second Nubian war, you beat them so hard the war leader was reduced to a duke.
Instant Classic
0:41 bro thought we wouldn't notice that jumpcut 💀
Jk, always love your videos zieley
Could you do a video on bringing back the Roman empire. Uniting the byzantines to its former glory.
The Roman Empire would not have fallen if Zieley had been strolling past Rome while it was on fire for the fifteenth time

I honestly don’t understand how people have such hard times with this game.
The Nubian king is of Dragosevic, which I think is Serbian
I am a very happy Jew. Subbed.
When you distribute big land acquisitions like this, what is your process? In the past I've mostly given away every county and then made one of the counts the duke over everyone else. I'd love to hear what you think is the most advantageous or satisfying maybe for preventing border-gore.
If you're a king or higher you can give away whole duchies, and kingdoms if an emperor, though that may create a ridiculously powerful vassal, so be careful when giving away kingdoms. When you give them away, you select all counties below the duchy as well as the duchy title itself. I like to land family, so I look for a dynasty member that's not in line for a title already or disinherit someone who is. To me, the benefit of landing dynasty members is being able to use 'denounce' later in the game when your empire is large and vassal management is a real challenge. People say that disinheriting is a waste of renown, but it's a currency like any other, I use it regularly and still fill out whole trees by the end of the game. Look for dynasty members that are content (and zealous if giving away land of a different religion). Avoid ambitious and antagonistic vassals wherever possible.
"Black Jews in Trouble, Help" is kinda funny
HE'S HIDING BEHIND THE TREES!!!
What's the tune at 25 minutes. I recognise it but can't place it.
Great Vid! Do some more Vic 3 Please!!
nice to show that u cant relay on capturing the king to win that first war and go and beat up his armies.
Very cool that Kanye West sent you his save file
DO A MEGACAMPAIGN PLEASE!
What is the song or sound effect used at 23:38 ?
I wonder why you don't do game runs on hard difficulty. It's a special kind of torture when your rules keep dying or are incapable or you're kid with an entrenched regent.
7:14 😆
29:50 what is that sound effect called
I need it for reasons
Scotish catholic Yemen isn't real it can't hurt you.

Would u ever give us a game of thrones series?
I'd love to send you some files, but I'm too good at the game...
bruh hybrid cultures leads to wacky languages. people in africa learning languages from India
I will always love these videos
Are you interested in Game files with the mod ObfusKate as well?
Zieley can you not spoil where you are hiding with the thumbnail? :^)
missed a yeff
Even if the Jewish king of Africa was going to die and lose his kingdom, he would never marry his kids off randomly to gentiles. Jews will barely do that today.
