- Back reacting to the Crusader Kings reddit page! The subreddit for the CK series is one of my favorite places for the culture (memes) on the internet, and I love seeing what people have been up to on the reddit so far.. like complaining about plagues again 😑

i feel personally attacked
You would need a personality to be personally attacked.
sorry i didnt mean that, but the dis was too easy too make :P feel free to use that one yourself! also have you tried anno 1404/1503? its realy good :D glad to see a stratagy game youtuber that does variety ^^
@@channel_lurker Anno 104: Venice is peak Anno!
@@jesusbauer8861 true, well 1404 :P
This is going to affect LeBron's legitimacy
We can only hope
This loss has tarnished LeBron’s rule.
will lebron regain the mandate of heaven this season?
MJ should have had an heir with a strong claim instead then.
Now the question is, does Bronny have true claims to the LA Lakers
6:32 I think craven is a good trait for a spymaster since you only need to gain a bit of dread and they will be too scared to oppose you.
“I never thought the plagues would affect MY realm!” Sobs ruler who voted for the Plagues Ruining Realms Party.
The best part of the untrustworthy spymaster was highlighting the fact that he's french
the amount of tabs you have open in that window is doing a lot for my self esteem, 13 doesn't feel so bad anymore
Higher crown Authority should increase your max holdings. Also, there are arguably 2 regions that are the best for playing tall, and one of them is... India! Southern India has some regions with insane devellopment and a fairly large domain and huge counties, generally a great start. The other is (imo) Cornwall, having a two county culture means you can beef up your devellopment to insane amounts. Currently, due to plagues the top 3 develloped counties in my game are: Genoa 34, Cornwall 56, Devon 64. For reference, Rome is at 28. Everyone is sending levies and spearmen whilst I'm slaying with my armored horsemen, crossbowmen, hobbelars and bombards.
Poldark would be proud.
One thing that really bothers me with CKIII:
In CK II Paradox acknowledged how braindead their AI is and made you tell them what to do (siege certain counties ect) which made the wars somewhat manageable. They totally forgot about that system in CKIII. Now you have to hope your allies are only 50 % braindead instead of 100 %.
I feel like we are playing 2 different games. What allies?
@@robertblume2951 Either your vasalls or the rulers you made a pact with when you married your and their child.
@@jesusbauer8861 yes you don't get the joke. I don't call them and if I did they would be useless one county counts or mayor's. I marry for stewardship and matrileneal prowess. Vassals also don't fight foreign wars.
@@robertblume2951 Oh, I tought we were talking about CK II. :-) Nevermind.
Wait how do I tell allies what to do
I did have a weird character pop up that had a, shall we say, odd heritage. So much so that I had to plot out on paper to make sense of what was going on. I'm talking mother, aunt, sister, cousin, and niece all rolled into one.
That is some next level incest
When your family tree is a circle you reached the peak.
If I'm not taking part in the crusade it's probably going to fail and even then I need an army large enough to solo it.
historically accurate
If soneone uses a hook to get a council position, you can't fire them, but you can swap them into another positionon the council that might not hurt as much as going from 40 down to 2 stewardship.
4:13 im more impressed that she managed to get a decent education while in prison
For a note on the Mongols - they're only a threat if you're in the steppes. They will try and dismantle whatever empire you hold. However, they only start at like 20% strength - stop them from gaining any land and they are instantly no longer a threat. They do terribly in mountainous terrain, so Tibet's Mountaineers tend to keep them out of going south. Central Asia is a 50/50 on if they go down there.
5:14 I like the straight trait for the I made myself character vs the asexual trait for the average player IRL 😂😂
5:41 not the picture of northernlion!!!
Eyyeverybody...
The classical "veni vidi uwu" pronunciation is *chef's kiss*
You mentioned in this video you hadn't done an Indian playthrough and want to change that. I often enjoy playing areas such as India, Africa, Middle east etc and I can definitely recommend Sri Lanka in 867 as an enjoyable first run. It's set up so you can play tall really easily, but also gives you plenty of options to play invade and conquer from your island of doom! Not to mention, with three concubine slots and changing succession to equal, there's loads of opportunities for family drama once you die and pass things to your heir! Case in point, I changed my succession to women preferred and had like 5 sisters. 3 of them wanted to kill me, one nearly succeeded! Had a lot of fun with faction uprisings lead by said sisters also!
Northern Lion copping strays 🤣
I liked plagues because of the performance increase when it happens lol. I actually dont loathe going to endgame because I know mongols and black death will just purge half of the character list. I also like the legacies too mainly for roleplay reasons if I wanna do a bit of RP
My only complaint about the plagues is that there aren't more ways for characters to get them, heh heh. If everything always went according to plan, the game would be boring and I think plagues are the perfect wrench in the works
Cara confirms the male fantasy about lesbians…that discuss the relative centralization of the HRE extensively…
I played as an Empress of Scandanavia for 86 years the other day. When she got married at 16 he husband gave her lovers pox. She then passed the pox on to SO MANY people as she outlived 9 husbands/concubines. The best part, she had the paranoid trait so she would lay with her new, young emperor, infect them then ban them from ever entering her bed in disgust or else suffer massive stress debuffs.
Classic CK 😂
And that’s why you have the spymaster. 1:49
Northernlion used as a bald joke lol
“Why does this look like Ben Shapiro wrote this?” Hahahaha! 😂
Well black death has a 50-30-5% survival rate for skin, lung and systemic versions of the infection.
After that you would have an immunity, yes for around 25 years or more if you are lucky. But massive nr of infections= high nr of bacteria= more mutations= less resistance
I think they should have research for plague mitigation, like observing rat death, insect repellent with mugwort, this kinda stuff
Paradox fans screaming for things, and then being mad because it wasn't as perfect the imagined is a constant cycle. Even the free patches (which they also pretend don't exist because it goes against the meme of PDX being greedy)
You are paradox fans
I've never understood the hate for the plagues (sooooo many people wanted them back), but I think the biggest complaint is about legitimacy.
Touch grass
16:23 This man beats the Heart of Darkness.
I didn't ask for plagues to come back. They weren't fun in 2, why would they be fun in 3?
I would have been okay with it if they had just removed the pointless micro. Obviously, I want to close my court when the Reaper is rapidly killing everyone in the county next to my capital, and obviously, I want to open my court again once the disease leaves my capital. That alone would have been enough to fix most of the problems with ck2 diseases. The other other problem I had with it was the event spam. Rather than fixing that, they made it worse and spam you with even more events related to diseases than ck2 did.
12:40 personally i am the popular ruler plus elective succession means i can choose my successor
Holy fuck the Northernlion reference. Egg has been that way since he was 18, apparently. Baldness value off the charts.
3am is definitely that time 💯
To be fair, Jesus *was* a carpenter, so, like. Having an Axe genuinely makes sense.
My main J-man literally cursed a fig tree for producing sub-par figs, he had *no love* in his heart for any kind of plant with a trunk.
My favorite thing to do with a vassal that forced their way onto my council is to just grant them to another vassal of a higher rank. Usually I have a lot of counts and I’m just like “duke whatever, please take this troublesome count steward with 2 in stewardship off my hands please.”
Or, you know, plot to murder them.
Either way, this inly happens to me when the game gives out a hook without my choice. I will do almost anything to avoid a vassal getting a favor hook.
1:21 is archonate a real thing? I’ve never heard that term before
Oh on the plagues. I like them. A lot. The problem is bluntly that they're to repetetive and not deadly enough. In effect they've mostly explicitly been annoying (so many clicks and so much popup spam about irrelevant plagues) without much impact (beyond the rare accident from them, you just click to seclude yourself and ignore them). I like them being scary and impactful, but they just annoying and the impact is navigating more menus. The bones are there, I just was just disappointed. In CK2, a plague showing up was scarier (until later in the game where you just had a wall of hospitals).
one of my fav if ur video types
12:37 Had a conqueror King who died in the middle of a holy war and failed to notice i had two kingdom titles.
Two King sons divide my empire by half, i change plans for my son that was supposed to finish the conquest and his new objective is reunification of the land.
Brother has a 50 years old wife that probably wont have any more sons and they only have one daughter.
Murder his daughter successfully and no one discovers about it, from now on i just needed to outlive my brother, focus on learning for the health boosts and to speed up the fascination progress acgieving a golden age for the Kingdom discovering 5 fascinations in a few decades until brother finally died and thw Kingdoms ate unified again.
Focus on fixing the succession so it does not happen again, stop any new conquers when king is 78 years old so ge doesn't in the middle of a war outting the heir in a pickle.
At 82 King has a son with his 29 years old third wife fucking the entire succession up.
At 86 King takes a Dunmer lover (EK2 Mod btw), at 88 Third wife dies and King marries a 140 years old human witch failing to realizing the old hag is still fertille, another son when King is 91 years old.
Primary heir that was very carefully imprinted died long ago, granddaughter is a old woman disfigured from a battle and has health issues since several decades before and i didn't imprinted her, great granddaughter is plan B being trained by a very old and wise king.
Granddaughter dies, king is 104 years old, no new conquests in decades already, great granddaughter already has a son in his early teens, King goes for a little bordergore fixing war (the first in decades). Vassals declare a lower authority rebellion in the same year.
King is 112 uears old when he receives the notification he is one years away from dying and war is still raging, king ties it up quickly defeating the rebellion with only a few weeks to his death.
Dies and all he is known for on his death message was that someone discovered he was the one who murdered his brother's daughter several decades ago.
Yeah... i fucking love/hate this game.
btw, succession all fucked up still because of the two unexpected sons, great granddaughter goes on a ranpage to fix it instead of taking the peaceful way like her predecessor.
Gen Z mod was posted on April Fool's day it seems, thankfully.
I love your meme reviews
I didn't expect to see NL on screen :D
HE’S BALD?!?
In all honesty I'm glad they added male pattern baldness into the game. It always bugged me that you had 70 year olds with stacked heads of hair. Over half of men are already going bald by their 30s and there were no hair transplants in the Middle Ages. Long over due.
Paradox I want Lucifers Own to return to CK3. I want my Satanic cult Paradox
Also 8:06 Koifish would be proud
Fun fact, I have a friend who created a fully playable version of Vicky 2 in excel
Sunset invasion in AGoT happened to me a few times too, glad it wasn’t just me
dunno what happened, my last 2 playthroughs I get murdurdeded every time. I don't even play any differently and I'm not being a dick usually. other than losing a bit of legitimacy and getting tyranny for extorting, but I even limited that. I don't even want to play without saves. managed to play a long life with Jarl Dyre. My next heir had to be a rando trough elections. Grandsons werent eligible for some reason. I had a purple intrigue book around 15 years left on the repair. I didn't plan to repair it, playing steward or maybe learning. Got 6 people killed and that book saved me from 1-1 plots, bugged out and stood in my court on 0 endurance. that was within 6 years. A king steward got a stress level, had an option to kill the son (who was disfigured 1 year old) or something crazy, like burning down stuff? ended up with reclusive and kicking out my courtiers. which was around 106 people including 20ish badass knights with buffs, 3-4 accolades with trait xp specific dependent buff and culture specific limitation, family business pillar so it was even buffed toward bonuses, but everyone was good/excellent.
Got hit with a plague right in the capital while raiding, or taking sick prisoners while raiding, knights getting sick from plagues breaking out in areas where I raid. Getting into -800 just to sell all my bad artifacts, just to be hit with 400-500 cost options, legendary and famous greek lady producing a 15% book using a 20% one (to be fair, she made a -10% temple and temple holding construction book with 20% learning before that) and a 8 plague resistance book from physician.
When you get tired of marry every courtier and manage every detail, and just set a goal to occupy an empire, and then plague hits you over and over and over, then swap capital, get hit with another plague again, then again. I even swapped capital from plague event 2nd time just to be hit with another plague. Is totally related to raiding I suppose. Doesn't let you gain gold. Repetitions are also scary, had the same courtiers killing people during hunts and cucking their husbands 2nd time. I did a hunt to break out the loop of getting murdered, first the lover of my mother tried killing me then another guest I did not invite to the hunt, then the first guy tried saving me? killed em both. ended up with a 3 diplomacy 66 prowess guy with like 8 learning xD 4 star martial. swapped capital just for a cheap university visit. got literally nothing for it. before reload, with another caracter, he learned norse, my religion was the same and heritage too, next time I even learned the language of the place to get a better reward (wards and wardens). I'm really not enjoying whatever happening. Maybe I need to drop the friends and foes dlc, not sure if that is what makes so many plots.
Is it not possible to hold a superspreader feast or use smallpox as a weapon because it falls under the Geneva Convention on bioweapons? It wouldn't be the first game to breach it (eg. every video game that ever used the Red Cross logo)
2:58 RFK Jr like...
See, when I get a sucky powerful vassal, I Befriend them - they can't rebel if they're friends with you even if they aren't on the council. You do gain stress if they die, but small loss
Edit: I usually name my custom religions "Sensiblism" because the goal is to be sensible. Except in my current one - I'm naming it "Milf-Dilf Hunters" because I'm currently doing a MILF/DILF run, where my guy and his kids can only marry people who already have kids - and no murdering people for their spouse. For this reason, I've got a lot of young people with elderly spouses book marked so I can periodically check to see if they're single yet so I can marry them off to my kids...also if you're thinking this makes it hard to have heirs, my guy has 12 kids (two of which died sadly.) First he married Audr the Deep Minded (6 kids,) then Haesteinn's widow (4 kids,) then a random Irish lady (2 dead kids,) and most recently Basque woman with great stats (no kids yet, but he's seducing her)
Edit 2: In regards to the relationships of CK3 children, my MILF guy's kids and step kids are having some. Two of my (Norse Buddhist king of Scotland) guy's kids, one of his stepkids, and this random Akan Buddhist 12 year old who just...showed up one day and lives here now I guess? Are all crushing on this one Welsh 14 year old who doesn't like any of them back, has no friends, and is rivals with a couple of their siblings. My current plan is to marry him to the Akan girl, wait until they have a kid, land him, then marry everyone else who likes him to him. Meanwhile, two of my guys other kids and one of his stepsons all have crushes on this one Scottish 10 year old witg long flowing hair, who is crushing on all three of them. Planning on finding him a high stat girl to marry (his harem is all boys) then marry the rest off to him once he's got a kid. My guy's got 12 kids, so it's fine if a few are in same-sex marriages instead of having children, as long as they stick to the family policy of only marrying MILFs or DILFs
4:10 Did they throw her into the oubliette by mistake? 😅
“It’s too close to home” and yet INCEST isn’t?!?! 😭😭😭
I know I'm in the minority here, but I liked how paradox did their plagues. I enjoyed that. Sure the AI needs to be fixed and that all the development doesn't vanish from the world, but that's an AI issue. The plague mechanic itself was great.

2:18 the umlauts make this nearly unpronounceable. I’ve tried every pronunciation I could possibly think of
Um, actually, UWU in latin would be UVU, because V and W were the same 🤓👆
Latin didn't have U either. V represented both what is now W and U (they probably didn't have the V sound). so a Latin uwu would be vvv
@@red7880 Trvv, I forgot abovt that
Haha yeah, "Charles the Bald" meant he didn't inherit much of his dad's land, "bald" as in "bare".
Who hasn't Studied Italian Medieval Past for Duchess Matilda?
Southern India in 867 = massive development headstart
Possible challenge: a campaign where you make a seriously overpowered Queen of India and use your technological superiority to take over the whole Deccan Empire in one lifetime (title is a partial success, controlling every province in the empire is a win)
Loved this!
Imagine having 💯baldness in your DNA..
Right here, with my brother and all my male cousins 😅
Thank you Mommy Autumn for your excellent editing as always.
Egg jumpscare
I play this game way too much. 😆
Heyy I made it into the video
Ye was a fun video
why you have to do enelle like that. lol
CK2's implementation of the Roman Empire is so incredibly jank. The devs basically years later as an afterthought just forced a system of government that doesn't mesh well with the mechanics onto the game in an attempt to be more historically authentic to appease their armchair historian customers, but only went half way, despite the fact Republic mechanics at the time were already in the game and the amount of effort it would of taken to adapt them for Byzantium would of been minimal. So, instead we got a stupid system where everyone is county landed, but duchies' are treated as governorships. So the Emperor gets back each duchy upon the deaths of the holder then re-issues. Also, when an Emperor dies, whoever is now elected inherits Constantinople. All of this combined with how the AI operates results in CONSTANT civil war when the player isn't involved. Because A) When the emperor AI inherits duchies, they don't re-issue, causing vassals to get pissed off, double so with too many duchies debuff. Then B), if any other family BUT the starting family is elected, the new Emperor will automatically take the Constantinople title, then the previous family will immediately form a claimant faction for either Constantinople or the Emperor title and declare with with the backing of their allies. So the Byzantines ever since a couple of years before CK3 released, with the Byzantine Empire succession and government type are now in constant civil war when not controlled by the player. All of which could be avoided if only Paradox did the following: Tied families to estates on polities as opposed to being tied to counties permanently. Made county holders elected by duchy holders and they too lost the post on death (this doesn't stop generational re-elections from the same families, which is exactly what happened historically). Then finally, make it so previous family holders of titles lost their claim to that title once their parents died, so family members of ex-Emperors can't contest, they must fabricate. It's not hard, Paradox just couldn't be bothered.
Looks like in CK3 things will be different, this time around they look like they're willing to be bothered now.
To be fair, a strange asynchronous election process followed by frequent civil war is pretty historically accurate...
Yooo
If you are considering playing as India. I highly recommend starting as Tamil. And forming the kingdom of Shri Lanka. It's my personal favorite start/hybridize location on the map lol
Wootz Steel is a cool innovation. The Metalworking tradition, is so O.P. you can make yourself a 100 Prowess God with insane Development/Tech lol
I also resemble the fan who self inserts O.P. characters lol. But my logic is, the game doesnt have "Great People" with unique quests if they hold certain Court Positions. Which I think is lame. So I always pitch an R.P. character to content creators who is something like: a Great Merchant, Prophet, General, etc. So yeah just like me a Giant-Herculean-Genius haha 🤙🏿🍻
