Fun fact! One of the incan emperors was turned into a llama by his ex-administrator, but he managed to regain his throne with the help of a gentle llama herder
Hey Laith, fun fact, the Incan Quippu was actually both their math and writing system. we are actually getting really close to translating the Incas written language, the Quippu. We’ve already figured out how to translate the numbers so maybe in the next few years we’ll have they’re true language
Yeah, I'm looking forward to their stories and myths. Once we decipher their language we will certainly have to correct some history. Also alien conspiracies will probably go wild again, which is fun.
We 100% know it has writting since it as used in trials and transcribed into Spanish, so we know they send messages, in the form of testimony + accounting. Its just most of that info is in Spanish.
We actually recently started to be able to read names and some VERY limited other stuff from the few non-accounting Qipu's that survived. I somewhat doubt we'll get a full comprehension of it tho. Mostly because barely any of them survived.
Fun fact: the ancient Inca worshipped an entire roster of lesser gods, who they believed to control various elements of life, and from time to time mingled with, and even bred with humans. The most famous of these minor gods was Rutuy, who was depicted in stone carvings at both Cusco and Machu Pichu. A powerful demi-god, Rutuy was master of livestock and ranching, and took the form of a half-man, half-llama, and answered prayers related to animal husbandry, and grand strategy computer games published by Paradox Interactive.
Honestly Pizarro was just lucky... the Incans just happened to be freshly out of a civil war when he first arrived and then they also happened to be not imune to smallpox. So it was like the HRE in 1648 being hit by some kind of aliens...
_1632_ is a great book series, about a town from 2000 America (specifically West Virginia) that randomly appears in Germany during the Thirty Years' War.
While the timing definitely helped Pizarro out, he wasn't just some lucky dude who stumbled into a win. The guy spent years figuring out how to play different Inca factions against each other and plenty of Inca nobles actually chose to work with him because they saw an opportunity There is way more to it than just "right place right time." Fun fact a lot of people don't know is Pizarro made multiple reconnaissance voyages before the conquest.
Actually the Inca knew how to make wheels and used them in some toys. But it makes sense that it never really came to for travel since the terrain is so mountainous
@@TheFranchiseCA I would argue they didn't have strong enough animals to pull the carts. Alpacas could only carry about 40kg. Horses could carry about 100kg. Horse would have an easier time traversing hills and mountains.
The Inca didn't roll over when the Sapa Inca was captured like you mentioned at 35:50, serious resistance continued for 40 years. The majority of the deaths from disease happened after the spanish had everyone in forced labor camps under the Mita system. This might be historical nitpicking, but imo it's important to remember that everyone has agency: the standard story makes millions of Andeans completely passive while removing responsibility for millions of deaths from the Spanish, which imo isn't great.
The "Mita" system was already used by the Inca Empire itself, the Spanish simply continued it. And no, they did not have everyone in "work camps" as slaves, there was a reason there were native "curacas" who managed the jobs in a town and that was paid. The story is more complex than it seems, in the Anglo world it is simply summarized as "bad Spaniards" and that is not correct. Greetings from Peru. PD: It made me want to explain a little more, you probably don't know that part of the Inca nobility allied itself with the Spanish (it is important to mention that the legitimate ones, the allies of Inca Huascar, who lost the civil war because of his brother Atahualpa). They converted to Christianity quickly because of the similarities of Inca belief and Christianity itself. There is history (only oral) in rural areas that Pachacuti already doubted the omnipotence of the sun, because the sun has a "routine" and that was not typical of a god, it makes no sense for it to hide at night and it also has no meaning that a cloud could block it, so he believed that there was "a sun above the sun" and the Jesuits told them that sun above the sun was the Catholic God, which made sense ¿right?, because there is another legend that says that A god was presented to him above the sun who promised him victory over his enemies (the chankas, before the Inca empire, which we can say began precisely with that victory). Let's be clear, not only did it make sense, it also had political advantages, joining the Spanish allowed them to beat Atahualpa, who massacred the "panaca" (family) of Huacar in Cuzco. That is why in reality, more than a conquest, it can be thought of as an alliance and the Viceroyalty of Peru was almost a continuation of the Inca Empire in many ways. As I said, it is very interesting but also more complicated than it seems. PD 2: The last thing, so that you really get rid of that "bad Spanish" to legitimize all that, a "translatio imperii" occurred just like in Europe. Which is why today the title of Inca still exists and is held by Felipe VI of Spain. Many other things happened such as marriages to form alliances, beautiful paintings about "the sun above the sun" that were painted during the viceroyalty, etc. I would like to tell you a lot, but I won't go any further, by the way, yes, I love the history of my country XD.
Love the acknowledgement that we tend to view and distort foreign histories and structures through the lenses of our own. Feels very silly over a paradox game (where EVERYONE needs renaissance or you can't progress society or understand a cannon) but I'm all for the discussion!
The Chanka Auxiliaries are mainly useful because they don't count against your force limit, so in the early game you can run a slightly larger army for a bit cheaper. They don't scale into the late game.
Oh the Inca! I can say a few things aswell about this topic. They had an exceptional road system called "Qhapaq Nan". Essentially it transported goods, and delivered messages over long distances. As you might know, transporting stuff over mountainous terrain is hard, and so it was built which took alot of resources and manpower. Their language is called Quechua, which they also call themselves (I think) and they are different from the southern people called the Aimara. As the Aztecs, they also fell due to the Spanish conquests because they desired their silver mines. Sorry for the text, but I wanted to get this out. The mission tree looks cool, will try that next time. See you. 😄
I once saw in a documentary that they had built storage houses where they kept "public goods" like cloth, utensils and such which then was distributed among the people (they didn't say or know on what basis one would get which product, but I imagine it social status was key). Vaguely akin to the distribution of goods in a communist state. Now with your information provided I can imagine a vast road system with stops along the way where one can rest and restock supplies.
Also, they did have the wheel. Some of the toys found in the Inca empire have wheels attached to them. It just wasn't practical enough to develop it as a tool because of the mountainous terrain.
@@janekciscek288 Incas really did that, and no, there was not a european alike social status, therefore everyone received the same (what they needed to live). Everyone socially above had their own job, like taking care of the village (and keeping these storages full), the rest just worked, so while people were divided into classes, everyone did something prosperous, thus a reason why some call it communism (and socialists like it). Also everyone was equal before law, so thats that.

At 8:43, you can go below 90% even if not cored, there is a value behind that says exactly how much local autonomy you have, if you clicked that after the core was done you would have lower autonomy, you can check this by having 91 autonomy, lowering it, and then coring that province and compare it to just coring it.
FUN FACT the Inca Empire had wheels, they used it in toys and stuff. The best theory I found about "why they didn't use carts and stuff" is that they mostly lived up on the mountains and wheels aren't very "mountain friendly".
Actually Laith, the Inca did have the wheel but when they looked around and saw nothing but mountains and no draft animals they realized that wheels in such a place were stupid and kept them to theory.
About Atahualpa and Huascar: you might think that one of them won the civil war but actually the Spaniards won it. De jure the last Sapa Inca was Atahualpa, but both of them were taken hostages by the Pizarro Bros. Huascar tried to negotiate his release and asked the Spanish to help him take the throne, and when the Inca soldiers found out about him doing that they just killed him and threw his corpse away, which is unusual for a culture in which rulers were mummified and their mummies were treated with extreme respect. Atahualpa offered Pizarro a shit ton of gold but got killed nonetheless. He was offered a choice between burning on a stake and being choked to death (but only if he converted to christianity) and he obviously chose the second option because, once again, corpses were quite important for the Incas. After the conversion he adopted the name Juan, if I remember correctly. Also, fun fact: the Pizarros teached him to play chess during his imprisonment and he reportedly liked it quite a bit and also was good in it. Sad thing they killed him nonetheless.
the thing about the wheel is that its been invented in every civilisations but in some it simply was not useful because the environment was not fit for it
At 11:21 when laith reforms the religion he loses two stability and immediately following that he loses another to a comet sighted event moving him from +1 to -2. At that date (September 1456) he has 239 admin mana. In the next clip at the date April 1457, a mere 7 months later, he sits at +1 stability with 288 admin mana, an increase of 49 (consistent with him gaining 7 admin per month). It’s clear that he had no way to get that stability and this is a clear case of console command use.

Quipu could communicate more than numeral information. But whether it developed into a full writing system or (k)not is a debated topic. Most scholars believe that if it was used as a system of writing then the writing version of it was not very well known before it fell out of use due to Pizarro's invasion.

Real quick I just wanna say that european kings had the idea of the divine right to rule which is similar to the mandate of heaven but not all encompassing. Whereas the Mandate says the Emperor rulers all under heaven, and it doesn't matter how far north you go or south or west or whatever. The Divine Right of Kings says God gave me this kingdom to rule in his stead, for we are servants of God etc. The reason you have to Checkmate in Chess is due to the fact that capturing the king was very important.
the incans had no wheel, written language, labour animals or *money*. They also had a communications network so advanced that europeans on horseback couldnt match the speed of these dudes running on foot to deliver messages.
So after the capture of the sapa inca the empire wasnt under spanish control for a while. It was heavily disorganized but resisted for many years. It even had rump and sucessor states till a killing of diplomats gave the spanish their justification to take them.out
I think a key difference in your framing of the "capture the ruler steal the kingdom" thing between the inca and china is generally you only replace the job in china. Historically we see time and time again foreign invaders come in and replace the ruling dynasty but the administration more or less carried on as was, minus a few reforms. Despite ruling the nation you generally did not have the freedom to perform sweeping changes as the internal institutions were incredibly powerdul and would fight you each step along the way, the emperor couldnt even get away with honouring his birthfather (who was also dead) with a lesser title let alone personally propose changes. Not even having hordes of foreign professional soldiers could tip the scales quite so much.
It most certainly was used as a numerical data system. Whether it had a literary use is debated, but scholarship leans towards yes; with the caveat that we probably won't ever decipher them. Since deciphering literary works is more difficult than numerical.
Tbf to them I would say that the wheel in terms of transportation is maybe the most overrated invention in history. I'm not saying it wasn't important, but in popular opinion it often overshadows other things like boats (there is a reason nearly every major city was build near a river, horse drawn boats where a major mode of transporting stuff up into the 20th century) and canals or simply horses/donkeys/mules
For overland trade, pack animals like camels were a fantastic technology for many parts of the world, superior to horse-drawn carts because there were more places they could easily go. But nothing compares to trade over navigable water.
*Makes a terrible unplayable game* Yea but if you keep paying us for the updates we'll make it easier/downright op.

Every culture and peoples in the world displaced other and replaced populations, the most impressive peoples at doing this were the Islamic Arabics and Islamic Turkic peoples, you should know this being most likely a Arabic descended person from what was once Punic-Peonician area know at Carthage, now being Arabic Tunis, or being from a place near Egypt that was once Egyptian not arabic or Turkey which was once inhabited by more Greek like peoples, not Turks.

sweet, my favourite nation in the game!
Real quick I just wanna say that european kings had the idea of the divine right to rule which is similar to the mandate of heaven but not all encompassing. Whereas the Mandate says the Emperor rulers all under heaven, and it doesn't matter how far north you go or south or west or whatever. The Divine Right of Kings says God gave me this kingdom to rule in his stead, for we are servants of God etc. The reason you have to Checkmate in Chess is due to the fact that capturing the king was very important.
You are my father
the incans had no wheel, written language, labour animals or *money*. They also had a communications network so advanced that europeans on horseback couldnt match the speed of these dudes running on foot to deliver messages.
Well, lately there are many discoveries about quipus. It seems that that was their way of storing information.
I actually would like to know what papers you did read about Incas? Can you link them somewhere?
The lovely background music was too silent :P
i wanna see you do the aztec!
Hey Laith... I heard that your Barque is worse than your Light!
big incan enjoyer here!!
So after the capture of the sapa inca the empire wasnt under spanish control for a while.
It was heavily disorganized but resisted for many years. It even had rump and sucessor states till a killing of diplomats gave the spanish their justification to take them.out
btw Atahualpa was the one who won the civil war and was captured by the Spanish

Glory to Tawantinsuyu!
PLEASE MORE
I think a key difference in your framing of the "capture the ruler steal the kingdom" thing between the inca and china is generally you only replace the job in china. Historically we see time and time again foreign invaders come in and replace the ruling dynasty but the administration more or less carried on as was, minus a few reforms. Despite ruling the nation you generally did not have the freedom to perform sweeping changes as the internal institutions were incredibly powerdul and would fight you each step along the way, the emperor couldnt even get away with honouring his birthfather (who was also dead) with a lesser title let alone personally propose changes. Not even having hordes of foreign professional soldiers could tip the scales quite so much.
GIBE US MOAR!
Epic campaign.
very cool!
I love Khipu, do a video about Khipu!
Let's see Europe!
Wait... didn't the incas use strings as binary code as their form of writing?
He mentions that 3 minutes in
I believe that exactly what the quipus encoded isn't entirely clear still, though I think it at least could communicate numbers and stuff
It most certainly was used as a numerical data system. Whether it had a literary use is debated, but scholarship leans towards yes; with the caveat that we probably won't ever decipher them. Since deciphering literary works is more difficult than numerical.
Part 2 please
Ulm for 200k?
Tbf to them I would say that the wheel in terms of transportation is maybe the most overrated invention in history. I'm not saying it wasn't important, but in popular opinion it often overshadows other things like boats (there is a reason nearly every major city was build near a river, horse drawn boats where a major mode of transporting stuff up into the 20th century) and canals or simply horses/donkeys/mules
For overland trade, pack animals like camels were a fantastic technology for many parts of the world, superior to horse-drawn carts because there were more places they could easily go.
But nothing compares to trade over navigable water.
No way bro pronounced muisca as music-aa
some of your pronunciations are kinda funny lol
2:12 ERM, You are playing the INCA NOT the AZTEC! Get FACT CHECKED!
I can't believe you stole my thumbnail design...
Comment for the algorithm
You wasted so much mana in technology…
*Makes a terrible unplayable game*
Yea but if you keep paying us for the updates we'll make it easier/downright op.
I just don't get how we went from owning things to leasing aaand updates now are called dlc and cost half a games' worth.
I hate this corporate greed has taken over and people just fucking roll over and cough up cash, and not just gaming, it's everywhere. I'm liturally getting physically sick of it.
Fact check: you said Aztec there not Inca
do it
Day 17 of asking you to play Victoria 2 semi regulary.
Every culture and peoples in the world displaced other and replaced populations, the most impressive peoples at doing this were the Islamic Arabics and Islamic Turkic peoples, you should know this being most likely a Arabic descended person from what was once Punic-Peonician area know at Carthage, now being Arabic Tunis, or being from a place near Egypt that was once Egyptian not arabic or Turkey which was once inhabited by more Greek like peoples, not Turks.
Kind of getting sick of that same trumpet song in the background lmao
