[@harrisoncross1038]

What if Phillip got a low taper fade

[@kuga_4038]

So this is where Koi has been instead of forming Austria-hungary in ck3

I know man like wtf.!

[@ilduce4298]

A return to Charlemagne is always very cool though i suppose that empire is bigger than Charlemagne's empire.

[@Wazlos]

Good point!

2 videos in and im already sure this channel will be cooking

[@Wazlos]

I appreciate it!

[@fredek6116]

That's literally what I think!

[@misticcrafter4766]

Loving everything you done! Straight and to the point, reproducible, etc. I think William the Not-Born-in-Wedlock was pretty upset when he realized he didn't get to be independent on a technicality.

[@Wazlos]

Thank you! William would have been quite peeved I think lol

[@reeceallen583]

This is amazing. You actually got me to watch a video about the French, the French!

I am sorry you had to go through that

Stealing the Holy Roman Empire is so much fun. In my last game, I stole it while playing a small duke in Ireland. After becoming king of Ireland I got myself vesseled by the HRE. Then I invited someone with the claim for the Bohemian throne and fought a war for the duchy of Bohemia (not the kingdom on which the person also had a claim on). But by helping this person to get the duchy of Bohemia, the person became my vessel. Then I claimed the title of the king of Bohemia, since I had the majority of counties. As king of Bohemia, I was instand one of the electors for the line of succession of the HRE and convined the other electors that I was the best option. After getting first in line, I just murdered the emperor and became emperor myself without a war. A HRE with its capitol on the Irish isle...

[@Wazlos]

That is so fun, I love doing these kind of things in ck3. Small kingdoms are OP

I really liked the video. Those tips are nice touches, very useful. Have you played The Fallen Eagle mod? I'd love to see you play Julius Nepos and try to restore the Western Roman Empire

I would love to try! I love the fallen eagle mod!

Some days ago, I was playing chill as king of Castille and suddenly I became Emperor. I didn't understand what had happened until I realised that my mother had had claims for the Empire and some how I ended up as the first heir in the line of succession.

[@Wazlos]

Try not to inherit the HRE as Spain challenge: impossible

[@etminan9458]

Sometimes I think yt Algorithm is very good cuz it suggests videos like this

[@Wazlos]

Glad you think so!

[@Floyd033]

Would you be open to suggestions for videos? Maybe try reforming Israel as a Jewish character or mending the Great schism as an orthodox character?

[@Wazlos]

Those are excellent ideas, thank you!

@@Wazlos no problem, let me know if you post them mate 😄

[@historyafficionado478]

You should try out an Agar restoration,playing as Tenerife while surrounded by all types of wrong faiths really makes it harder than the normal pump babies and ally galore. Anyways, great videos!

[@Wazlos]

That's sounds really fun, Thank you!

[@Wuschel1990]

I know that CK3 can get confusing with the relationships but holy moly. At 2:25 you said to marry your daughter to the duke of normandy. But it says it's your sister. and Philippe is only 14 years old. Either you messed with the save or you misspoke. I'd be fine with both. After all you need to do what's neccessary to insure the blood line stays pure.

[@Wazlos]

I misspoke lol. You were actually the first to notice, good job

[@nusantaramapper7580]

France imo is one of the best countries to try form Rome. I find this trick on my own and within like 10 years western europe is in my hands and taking the rest of the mediterannean is an easy task but it will definitly need some time because you need to wait for the prestige or even assasinations.

[@Wazlos]

Absolutely France is almost never highlighted but it is an insane statt

[@Belli_Casus]

Good video.

[@Wazlos]

Thanks!

[@davideaston3005]

Next step: get enough renown to remove the princely elective.

[@Wazlos]

Very true, costs 10 K though

[@davideaston3005]

@@Wazlos 100% worth the wait

Absolutely. HRE is a prestige gold mine when you buy all the kingdoms
