- The Zunist faith is by far the rarest and most obscure religion to obtain in Crusader Kings 3. In this CK3 challenge video join me as we revive the Zunist religion of the Zunbil dynasty of Afghanistan and praise the sun! This crusader kings challenge requires hundreds of thousands of piety to revive Zunism - can it be done in ironman mode? Let’s find out!

Me: “Who knew that repeated divorce was the secret to spreading a new religion?”
King Henry VIII:
😂😂😂😂 this got me
She most have the confused period of the lifetime, when her father/husband repeatable non stop divorce and remarried her 🤣
Joseph Smith:
@Batchest what achievements?
"To the abhorrent High Priest Zozan, damn your seventh grandfather."
Due to all the inbreeding she probably doesn't even have one
Seventh grandfather in this context means (Presumably) the patrilineal great-grandfather 7 generations past. No matter how much inbreeding, that person exists, though he might also be the 5th and 6th at the same time.
Maybe worth reminding that you can have at most 4 biological grandparents (2 per each biological parent) and inbreeding can only reduce this number.
@@miskakopperoinen8408 probably his own 7x grandfather. Somehow
When a character reads "Your son, half-brother and brother-in-law", you're playing Crusader Kings!
I hope...
@fuedase basically your son marry ur sister
@fuedase you have a son with your mother and that son also marry your sister
Your wife, daughter, granddaughter, sister in law
🎵Sweet Home Alabama! 🎵
You should have raised the save to the cloud, that way it could be closer to the sun.
Praise your comment! I will do just this for future campaigns
@@AlzaboHD Don't. It tend to glitch and stop saving your game.
@@redthunderboar1323 False.
@@1000Phoenix You say that, but its exactly what happened to me.
How fitting.
"Going to do this legitimately " proceeds to marry the same character 300 times for peity aha 😄 great video!
Sucks that your SSD failed :( I had my first attempt at reforming the roman empire get corrupted after around 40 hours :( managed to get it second time around thoigh.
Yeah, that seems kind of like cheating. Is there any other way he could have done it?
If Ironman allows it then it's legitimate imo
@@placeholdername3818 if you have to go back to version before an update that fixed an exploit to use that exploit, it's cheating
yes i vote cheats lol but all in fun. would be extremely hard on pure iron man
Idea for a future video: Try making a custom ruler of A culture not commonly found where you would start. E.g. A Viking In Arabia, Or a Han Chinese in Ireland. Thought it would be interesting to see how that campaign would work.
Great idea Alpha Toad! Cheers
No problem mate. But I'll be honest and say any Ck3 content from you will be great regardless. You have a great knack for storytelling that I don't get from other UA-camrs like you. Keep up the good work.
Viking is pretty boring, but Han Chinese sounds fun ^^
nah, obviously you gotta have a Mongol as head of the H.R.E
This would be super cool with the culture hybridization they're adding in the next expansion
Those puns BRIGHTENED my day.
If you call Duchies Duckies, does that mean you call Dukes Ducks?
Duke Nukem
@@cirokistermann7834 Duck Nuckem
Duke comes from Dux, so it's going full circle.
@@ingold1470 and Doux in French si soft so it's like "soft little ducklings"
Is this an inside joke for him?
"The state of instability in the Afghan region"
some things never change, do they
I mean it's bang in between Central Asia South Asia and the middle East
@@MegaGun2000
And Africa and Europe. It's literally the "Middle" of the "East"
They literally haven't had time to recover from foreign invasions and meddling for centuries. Arguably they were doing fine until they executed Gengis Khan's envoys, to which he destroyed everything in the general region.
@@LuizAlexPhoenix you're thinking of what is currently Iran with the envoys being killed
This didn’t age well
Just for people's information: Amir e Amiran means the King of Kings in Persian. It's not a name
Wow! Thank you for the info, this makes... much more sense now!
Yeah, I found that funny
Wasn't that Shahanshah?
Or maybe that's the older language version idk.
@@killercyclone16_4 Yes, you are right, Shah is Persian for King, while Emir/Amir is an Arabic word, which denotes a noble of some form, its most commonly translated as prince. The Prince of Princes would then basically be an elevated form from the regular Prince.
Shahanshah means king of kings. Amir is usually translated as “prince” and is comparable to the Turkish beylerbey or the European archduke
At the moment I feel CK3 is still a little limited (just me personally) but once the new dlc comes out I'd like to see a siculo-norman Italia and an Indo-Norse India.
Indo-Norse supremacy
Romano-English Carthage shall rule the Mediterranean.
Yeah it is a bit limited you can't be an eunuch horse who is in Satan's cult while having 14 lovers all the while being a crusading pope
You can be Indo-Norse. Just requires a handful of jumps around Europe, Africa and Arabia.
Well in my Polish game Akan culture converted entire Iberia and southern France
It's always a fine day whenever you upload.
Nice pick-up line
Praise The Sun!
Praise Zun! ☀️

"After 4 years of divorcing/remarrying his daughter/wife, he finally attained the prestige and piety necessary to rebuild the Zunist faith."
You could make a religion-
*No don't.*
"But it was too late, Alazbo had already reformed the Faith."
@@Jsay18The spiritual sequel we didn’t know we needed.
I like how your ck3 playthroughs always sound like actual historical documentaries :) it’s always a treat to watch them!
You, sir, are a true master of Xwedaddad jokes.
he is the true master of Xwedaddad
in persian it means God Given
@@arma5166 cool. Does the first X sound like the Spanish one in Mexico?
@@imokin86 It sounds like the CH in the word MACHT in german,or the first sound in the name Khomeini. you can just put the word Macht in google german translator to get the idea
@@arma5166 thanks, I speak some German, I got it.
I had a hunch that "save to cloud" check box at the beginning wasn't included on accident. Excellent foreshadowing.
Hypergamy, inbreeding, religious conversion, conquest, ruthless intrigue that would impress GRR Martin and a random short guy to boot?
I gotta say, Alzabo, that was quite the ride.
Will there ever be a continuation of the horse dynasty?
Yes!
@@AlzaboHD 🤌🏻
I love campaigns such as these, where you revive various nations, cultures and religions.
zun decided that your SSD was unworthy
Those damn UV rays

"A man of pleasant disposition"
There's just something so much more regal and demanding of respect when calling it the "Solar Throne"
Dragon of the West Challenge: Starting as one of the Han Chinese characters on the eastern edge of the map, restore the Roman Empire.
It could also be nice if He abandoned his eastern territories, otherwise it would just become a map-painting game
"We're not interested in a lengthy anecdote Alzabo..."
"Its more of a 'demonstration' really!"
That would be like One Proud Bavarian's run of the Allahdin achievement of CKII. Basically worming your way west, abandoning your lands East, becoming a vassal of the Byzantines and taking it over to reform the Empire.
Well boy do I have good news my friend
To make it proper, his name should be Iroh the Dragon, or Iroh the Wise, perhaps.
Your narrative system fits in so well with the kinda real world history channels I love, even when you lean on the fourth wall a bit*. I watched to the end in one sitting, subscribed and decided CK 3 will be my next game purchase, as well as grabbed CK 2 (as it has a free version)
*Not a negative, it's very welcome
Zunism is Perfectly Balanced
This is great! It feels like more of a documentary than any other Crusader Kings content, while still being hilarious as the game deserves. I’ll definitely be watching more of your stuff man
This guy is a great CK3 creator, a perfect mix of classic CK UA-cam style and even older PDX forums After Action Reports - text content written from a POV as if it's an actual historical record from an alternate timeline. It's like if he wrote an AAR, but then did a dramatic reading of it and paired that with video footage of the gameplay. Plus jokes about political issues today that stem from medieval conflicts that add to the "nothing ever changes" vibe that the blending of old CK2 content style and old AAR writing style creates. A new video from this guy always feels just as "I'm 14 years old, just got home from school, time to boot up CK2 on my computer and watch someone else trying one of my fave starts or read some guy's AAR on the forum waiting for my game to load" as my old comfort playlists, even though it's CK3, because it's such a perfect blend of the latest game and the old popular storytelling styles.
That’s some king Henry type shit right there where you take your brother’s recently widowed wife
Hell joe Biden’s son hunter did that to his dead brothers wife
Well the Torah or Old Testment has at least a couple of cases like that. The women belong to their husband so they are inherited like cattle and it's the heir's duty to fulfill his deceased brother's obligation to her, breed.
3:40 "Jesus, deliver me from these temptations!"
Exactly the thoughts an Afghan pre-islamic paganist would have in the 9th century :D
I think that's a conversion option 😉 When you get stressed and have that event, the second option usually entails a conversion
Afghan pre islamic were Hindus. The last Hindu kingdom was Hindushahis which lasted 1026 C.E .
Afghanistan first hindus then Buddhist then Hindus again then falled to islam
@@xtreme7672 alhamdulilah
That SSD failure though... I was looking forward to the Empire of the Sun
"Outside the affairs of our realm the universe recalibrated and reverted back to the old ways." It's including information like this that normally gets left out of historical retellings that made me want to subscribe.
I love how 95% of your videos are legitimate could happen scenarios but then a 4 years old emirate says he would rather die defending what's his lol.
It makes the videos both interesting as a historic alternate universe and a fun recollection of oddities
I wish you got a pdx award. You’re so helpful and it is soothing to listen to you
AlzaboHD is giving away hearts like its Valentine's day 😂
It is astonishing how much this sounds like a presentation for history class, and I mean that in the best possible way.
I haven't even gotten this game but ive seen your other videos and you seem so good at it you can just do whatever the f*ck you want and always win but its fuggin hysterical what a sadist you play as LMAO. I subscribed after you gave that guy a "complimentary tanning session" LMFAO. pure gold.
You did this about as legitimately as dream would have.
"Our king will need to reform Islam itself."
You know, no biggie.
Yup. Very ez. Definitely has been tried millions of times
I legitimately love the way you tell the gameplay as if it was a story. Very fun way to watch. 👍
I have to say, I always enjoy seeing that you have uploaded. It really does make my day so much better
Alzabo you should do the Aladdin Challenge. Start as a Han character and end up becoming A Sultan in the Middle East
Fyi "Amir" means Duke and "Amie-e Amiran" means Duke of Dukes (King)
So you essentially said this guy's name was King King II lol
Probably a mistranslation like "Akbar the Great" by amazing western professors who were definitely not hacks.
Wow. I thought Hellenism is the hardest to legitimately revive
I tried it with an OP created ruler and the Catholics kept doing holy wars on me
@@jaredbrown3726 I did the same and had no issue dismantling the papacy, granted I started in the island of Sardinia
"Instability in the Afghan region"
Also known as Seh-shanbeh (سهشنبه) by the locals
( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanbeh )
Yea, care to explain a bit more? I now what those two words mean but never heard something such as seh-shanbeh to describe instability in Afghanistan.
"Solar Sharia" lmfao, that is the funniest thing I've heard today. Love this channel.
Oh no! So sorry to hear about the hard drive failure; I was really looking forward to A Perfect Circle achievement ding =(
The stories and the way you tell them are gold!
Calling it a ducky 🐤 has to be a way to mess with us at this point right?
this is an amazing channel to find. I didn't realize we had ck3 narrative videos.
Pro-tip in CK2: If you have a high enough troop count (~2000), you can imprison your barrons. They will most likely rise up in rebellion, then you smash their army with your prepositioned raised levy, kill them all, siege the holding, imprison him, revoke, banish and steal all their money. Create a new vassal from the holding, and he will start accumulating cash. Do it with everyone, become the most tyrannical ruler ever and get RICH. Mercenary your way to victory.
Very nice video, Alzabo!
I just wanted to put something out there as a little fun "in-universe" thingy since the concept alone was so interesting. In Farsi (Persian), the word for solar is 'Khurshid'. It means 'sun' or 'radiant sun' and was used as a name at the time Hurmiz took power in this world. I say this because Solar Sharia in what was Middle Persian (the language spoken by the Sassanids at the time the video started) would be something along the lines of Khurshidi Sharia; Roughly translating to 'the way of the sun'. This is because of the definition I gave before along with the fact that Sharia means 'the way'.
*Insert followers of this fictional faith saying "do you know de wae?" here*
And hell, if you want to, it could be shortened to Khuria to distinguish it from Sharia proper.
*Insert jokes about Khuria being Best Korea here*
Thanks for reading and again, great vid!
Your CK3 videos are the ones I like to watch the most
This video is Interesting
1. AlzaboHD storytelling is great,
2. Good CK3 Gameplay, and
3. He found a solution to make the main objective of the challenge complete.
One of the best, if not the best CK3 challenge let's play channel, keep making it bro,great content.
Thanks for the support James! Really appreciate it, cheers
@@AlzaboHD challenge idea take over the whole world as the worst province in ck3
Re-make it in the future perhaps? I'm finding that I enjoy this style of story telling as well, I'm a fan of "episodes" I guess but this feels quite natural and still nice to follow instead of a recording of every single moment, even if its eventually split as if they're episodes. You seem good at making the story, definitely.
New viewer and really impressed really great pacing and the voice over work is great 👍
Can't get enough of your ck3 videos!
Dude, I slept to this. Your voice is so soothing. Great video, as always!
So sad to hear that the save corrupted, this was looking ultra interesting
Was looking forward to ck3 videos in this format, was not disappointed.
I just want to let you know I love these videos so much!
I love how he narate the game, I wish he does it more often
Your skills are gloriously incandescent Alazbo
my dude single-handedly bringing back Zunism, most poppin' dis religion has been in like, millennia
I seen the comment by Alpha Toad and thought
what about a Roman in Burma, declaring himself the ruler of the world and reforms the roman empire?
Rules
You would start as a Roman cultured male at 18 yo
You follow the Hellenic faith
By the end date fof 1453 you need to have two imperial titles, that of the Indian Empire and the Roman Empire
You can convert away for the Hellenic faith to form the Indian Empire and convert back to hellenism
this video was amazing, i would kill for a sequel
The king is back!!!! I know this videos is gonna be great before even watching it
I loved this story! I have never been able to restore ancient faiths. Well done!
Praise the sun? Praise Alzabo for making quality content.
That Zunist reformed faith remembered me of the Fire Nation from Avatar xD
When Graveyard of Empires is taken too literally
ohhh, so THAT'S how you did it! i figured you'd swap to the unreformed bon religion and utilize the human sacrifice like you would with norse for reforming hellenism
I knew you would make a video on the zunists, in fact there was a short preview of you playing a zunist at the end of a video!
I really like all of your ck3 tales
Any video where you have even more chances to form a ducky would be great, quack quack!
Loved this challenge, would be cool to see more religion-based challenges!
Can't wait for more videos like this!
You missed your calling in life. You’d make an amazing asmr or audiobook voice
Thank you for the compliment!!
@@AlzaboHD Thanks :D I love your videos
I love the narrative style
Jesus fucking Christ, becoming Zunist in CK3 costs 90K Piety!? Meanwhile in CK2 it's just like "hooha convert from holy site"
Is it Even possible to get it without using tricks? A Pity.
@@y33t23 Yes, you have to start as a tribal unreformed Norse/Bon and chain sacrifice wars. It costs around 40k piety then which takes a while but isn't impossible if you chain sacrifice wars and sacrifice every prisoner
@@y33t23 Do you mean the 90K Piety or the Zunyasna faith? I don't know about the former, but for the latter, the 769 start date in CK2 Charlemagne features a playable (with Old Gods) Zunist ruler.
Miles In CK2 I have Heard it exists, But in CK3 Not, so it Would only be possible with the immense amount of piety
@@y33t23 Yeah, it's sad that CK3 doesn't have the wide variety of start dates that CK2 does. Sure, 769-936 were DLC-only, but even for 1066+, CK3 only has two dates while CK3 had a megafuckton of base game dates.
Oh boy oh boy! Put all the other stuff on hold just to watch this!
I'm bad at grand strategy games but your videos always make me feel better :)
I fucking adore the story telling side of your campaigns
Your alliteration is ON POINT
I closed my eyes to listen to your videos to fall asleep. I almost thought I was listening to a historical documentary. Until I heared that crashing of save game. 😅
The narration is epic 😂👍
All of your videos would make wonderful mega campaigns.
Constantly saying "Amir's without a dad" is too cruel. Seriously, right as his dad died, you just went right to it.
I know I'm definitely not hearing it wrong because his name is Xwedadad, which is 1 whole syllable less than what you're insulting him with all the time.
I'd love to watch this guy do series showing us him play these games in their entirety
Your videos are so great
Great video. I had to crank it up to 1.25 speed but it was fun to watch.
One idea i've always wanted to see is having a country/ruler in Europe or the British Isles convert to Islam and see what happens at that point.
Also, marrying, divorcing and then remarrying your family members must make awkward conversation at the dinner table.
19:50
Instantly regrets hovering over "save to cloud" and not enabling it.
You know I WAS thinking "why didnt he tick the box that says "save to cloud?". Well stuff like this can happen I guess
I absolutely love your naration
Your voice is so relaxing
Missed these!
Great video, i love it
Here's a good idea: Play a game where you can ONLY conquer places on the coast. Any territory gained that is not touching the water means you lose.
i dont think ive been diagnosed with anything that would explain it, but i have serious trouble listening and paying attention to videos where people talk for large periods of time, and the weird alliteration thing you do really helps
