the problem with these mega campaigns is that any decent player can do a world conquer in basically any paradox game so you really have to hold yourself back and roleplay to make it all the way to stellaris and have the gameplay still be interesting
@@ahapxir why would roleplaying be a problem? I love seeing creators focusing their gameplay on a story rather than showing off their skills, specially because it can usually demand other skills to influence factors of the game
I don't see the problem in restricting yourself a bit and go for a more roleplay approatch. As he's playing Rome (no surprise there) going for a somewhat historical route should be fun enough. (Or he could do the crazy things like going to America.)
@@ahapxir They have to use blobbing stopping mods which makes harder to conquer new land before you core or ”assimilate” land which you conquered previously. When I made two mega campaigns myself I used antiblobbing mods or similar to it. Most of these mods are compatible with conversion or atleast you can save game with these mods disabled!
A mega campaign where you play a different nation every time you switch games could be fun. At Hoi4 you should have several large empires and the winner influences the stellaris playthrough.
I'm only taking the Italian peninsula; And Sicily; And Sardinia and Corsica; And a bit of Carthage; And North Italy; And southern Gaul; And some Greek islands; And all of the Greek islands; And all of the Mediterranean islands.
And a bit more of Carthage for the pretty borders. TBH I was expecting him to say that since he is going for pretty borders, might as well take coastal lands in Dalmatia.
Lubi idk if you know this but with a timeline extension mod you can actually directly port your imperator game to ck3 through fallen eagle without any century jumps. It's the timeline extension mod plus its submod betterblobs which specifically'd set the end date to fallen eagle's earlier start date in the 4th century, which can then be transfered to eu4.
All paradox game? Imagine city skylines, designing the city of rome from scratch, and when i say all road lead to rome i mean all 24 lanes of the highway bro.
Classic Lubi, he is not giving up on old Paradox Projects and gives us a 3000 year campaign to start the Christmas celebrations early. This ist Not the Lubi we deserves, but the Lubi that we needed!
Just a small thing, as far as i am aware, the light eyes color and eurolike features in central asia are found in the region before the Macedonian conquest. Those being remnants of the Indo-European migrations to the region from (probably) the caspian sea
25:00 So, according to the mythology, with Aeneas also Antenor escaped from Troy after the Greeks captured it and settled around the Po’s delta were he supposedly founded Padua. The history I believe was just a mass migration of people from Anatolia that were culturally similar to Rome. I’m not an expert tho
Placating that new familiy by giving three from them about a boat each was funny. What I find nice in this game is that larger gouvernments don't get just benefits but also penalties. Some of which can potentially bite you if you aren't careful.
Hell yeah for Imperator! Happy to see you play it. I recently had a really fun Ptolemei run where I managed to switch religion to the Egyptian one with your good ol' Bastet and Osiris, super cool. You can never go wrong with Rome, of course.
Keep in mind roads do boost pop and trade capacity for *each* Connection, so a dense road network connecting every nieghboring province is best to get the most out of your provinces. I tend to just shift clip tight looping pattern making my way down through an entire region and leave the section building roads for years at a time.
Ludi you are the man. Just remember that. You have fans worldwide brotha. Youre videos have brought me a lot of joy man, they are always great. Thank you!!
one thing i have to say about Imperator: Rome is that i absolutely love my allies in this game. allies in I:R are always such a big help since they actually do something productive. only paradox game where i love to have allies
Meanwhile in Hoi4 my allies lose literally 1M+ manpower to any mountain nation (I watched Argentina lose 1 million to Chile while they had the help of Bolivia who themselves lost 400k)
Hey ludi thank you for the video. Thank you for covering imperator Rome ( of of my favorites )on my and many others behalf please can you do / cover more imperator Rome. Or make a video and be our voice for this game. I’d love to see this game make a come back or a second imperator Rome be delivered. Thank you again and merry Christmas firm your favorite chutney 🇺🇸;) much love stay healthy and stay strong and committed to your goals.
That province that flips in your early Imperator game can sometimes happen. It's a scripted event that one of those two nations have and the province flip is one of the options. Eturia has one for the one you declared on and Rome as well, but usually the nations refuse the offer.
Dude, what!? Yesterday was my first time being able to buy a game after 2 years of nothing but learning and working. And I bought imperator with all its DLC for 14 dollars, I’ve always been obsessed with history and I’ve been dying to get myself a PC to play CK3 or Imperator, I figured that now that it was discontinued and really cheap I would buy it, and now you say this to me!? YEEEEEEESS!!! 🤧
Before you said that you were committing to playing tall I was going to suggest intentionally fragmenting your realm for the start of CK3 and playing as the Romanians for the rest of it instead.
I want Ask Because you said 7 Games and I counted like [Imperator, CK3, EU4, Vic3, Hoi4, Stellaris] these are ones I was able to count Am I missing Something? I feel there should be a game between hoi and stellaris unless you write your own cold war history after Hoi
@ahmedhady6093 cuz after stellaris it's gonna be real life campaign of restoring Roman Empire by Ludi Genius Romanius Maximus and we gonna be the legionaries of our new Emperor. Be prepared.
I'm honestly excited to see the HoI4 and Stellaris parts of this series, I mean, An actual Roman empire in WWII and in space (I bet there's Mods for that to happen)?
i never played as roman pigs ever, with 1000+ hours in I:R but, I salted the soil at seven hills as Etruscans, Epeirotes, Samnites, Boii, Syracuse, Carthage, and Massilia.
At the 40m mark roughly, UA-cam played an ad. once it was done it went to the end video screen where it asks you to play the next video or cancel. The overlords are not pleased.
i get why youre playing as rome, but since its a mega campaign the only valid start shouldve been a small nation which isnt powerful at all until you have achieved quite a lot. Herakleia Pontica into Achaemenid Empire for example
Hey ludi. Im actually doing my own mega campaign but for mine i have huge empires (western rome, qin, and the hellenistic empire) im getting ready to do ck3 once the fallen eagle updates. I was wondering what tips you have for going forward cause right now im stuck between continuing as the hellenistic empire or playing as a wandering noble.
What Mod moves a save game from Imperator to Crusader Kings III??? I find a mod in the Imperator workshop that says it moves from Imperator to CKII, but dont see one that does CKIII... Details by chance? :)
@ stand tall and keep your empire together, that’s the real challenge. If it’s stable then sit back with your favorite beverage and have video recorded proof of your mega campaign world conquest to stellaris galaxy conquest.
Actually European features are quite common in Pakistan, Northern India and Central Asia due to natural genetic connection to Western people and early peoples that were part of the genetical foundation of the region such as the Tocharians, not necessarily because of the very relatively few Greek settlers
OMG it's happening, everyone stay CALM!!
meow
STAY FUCKING CALM!!!!!! 😅

Too late I'm so excited!

A wise individual once said: “The first step to solving a problem is to admit you have a problem.”.

You can focus on 1 evil enemy per installment and this keeps things going.

Maybe try for all of the barbarian lands as well for an extra challenge... oh
What? The Huns already did it and said "nope"?
reminds me of a certain austrian guy in the 1930s
The big river in the north of Italy is called Po. The Po river valley is basically the most important agricultural region of Italy

I love establishing roads with rome.. it is so much fun i just wish it would get more attention and DLCs etc man please paradox

you are correct yes!

When will the next part come out approximately?
And yes, happy holidays!

I love so much playing other countries then just a one pick and world conquest it makes a grand campaign actually good and not basic and boaring

Thanks for the kind words man, I really appreciate it!
Thanks!
Thank YOU brother! Means a lot! Esti un super dulce :x
42:52, that’s Euboea (or Negropont if you really like Venice)
Only seeing this on Christmas eve, best gift i could ask for
Smashed that sub button as soon as I heard the word megacampaign. Let's go!

You're actually right on the money with your guess. The Senones and the other Celts in Northern Italy migrated there and displaced the Italics.
Hey ludi thank you for the video. Thank you for covering imperator Rome ( of of my favorites )on my and many others behalf please can you do / cover more imperator Rome.

I love Imperator Rome too, and I'm sure a lot of other people do! Rest assured will cover it a lot more ^_^ it's very underrated
Great video! Love it!!

Thank you for the mega campaign, would love to see the evolution of the Romain Empire !
Great video. Can't wait for part 2.

Roads are also great for cities. Every city connected to a road adds a small bonus to Import Routes for that province and a few other benefits.
"Judea in the same spot" You know, besides them losing actual Judea to the Egyptians.
15:29 If Pyrrhus didn’t have such bad ADHD and didn’t randomly attack Sicily, he probably would’ve destroyed Rome.
Fun game idea for viewers, take a shot each time Ludi looks directly towards the camera
I think you should (eventually) do a mega campaign with an underdog. Like maybe be Judah or something
The game has so much potential and is fun as hell. Love me some imperator celt-iberia
We are eating good today.
@Ludi
Do a play through where you do world conquest in every Paradox game
As soon as I saw this, I knew i had to click on it. Lots of love from your most loyal Scottish legionare! Glad to see the long videos coming back
I was just thinking of going onto Imoerqtor for a Greek Himalayas run... I'll wait for you to finish the roman one first. Rome deserves it ❤
Yo, I just got the same idea yesterday, only I wanted to
Conquer all of historical rome and then collapse without losing italia
I loved it keep up the good work Man
Ludi goes. Veni, vidi, vici.
08:59 'We still technically won because...' No you lost more soldiers than them haha.

Gaul really recreated the partition of the Frankish lands between Charlemagne and his brother.

Hi Ludi, it's the Po river most important river in Italy
That's the Euboea island man
I really hope you can somehow squeeze in the Fallen Eagle mod into this. IDK how, but it'd be AMAZING.
I love Imperator and I love Mega Campaigns

@ЭйденПирс-и8т but who should we conquer first? I hope great General Ludi will be able to achieve victory in his campaign
@ahmedhady6093 march of the eagles?
After Stellaris it’s snap back to reality and you wake up in front of a computer running March of Eagles and you’re cuffed to the table
Finally a Mega Campaign with imperator
Ill probably pick up Imperator on next sale

What mods are you using for imperator in this video?
The Rhaetian people had similar cultural links to the Etruscans and historians put Venetic in the Italic subculture group.
5:12 probably inspired disloyalty
Criminal that Ludi chose to get half of france before having a full istri, which historicaly was considered part of italy
Restore the roman empire!
You mean he creating it?
Me as intelectual:
Ave Ludi Augustus Caeser imperator, Basileus Rhomaium!
i get why youre playing as rome, but since its a mega campaign the only valid start shouldve been a small nation which isnt powerful at all until you have achieved quite a lot. Herakleia Pontica into Achaemenid Empire for example
Can't watch now - got a RPG group in my back room that I don't want to disturb - but NICE!!! GOGOGO! Need more tonight :p
Mega campaign, HELL YESS!!!
Hey ludi. Im actually doing my own mega campaign but for mine i have huge empires (western rome, qin, and the hellenistic empire) im getting ready to do ck3 once the fallen eagle updates.
