Reviving the RAREST Nation in Victoria 3: It’s MORMON Time™!

- Have you ever dreamed that Utah stretched from Seattle to Santiago? Does the idea of the Mormon Market controlling EVERY industry interest you? You’re in the right place. In today's alliterative adventure, Paradox Interactive challenged me to come up with the hardest campaign I could imagine. Naturally, this involves reviving an obscure, unpopulated and releasable nation and transforming this secretive state of Deseret into a superpower that dominates the world, drives the global economy and seeks an ever increasing amount of charitable "contributions" to feed our transcontinental congregation. This is the story of Deseret; and yes, we’re about to MORM.

Are you ready to MORM? Get Victoria 3 at play.victoria3game.com/AlzaboHD . Much respect to Paradox for sponsoring this video! What do you want to see next?
I would love to see Lithuania as powerful as Deseret, I promise you, it's impossible, but you like challenges, right?
I would like to see you play as tunis
duchy of lucca
vrtually inposable
You might enjoy playing as morocco for some Pain
and maybe save this nation from France and Spain
The first country to make mormillions.
They Mormed all over the non believers
Morbillions
@@kommandantwunder6785 the book of Morbius
@@crqf2010ruler the book of morbinism
Deseret: "Slavery is an immoral blight upon the face of mankind."
Deseret: "Child labor go brrrrr!"
That is also just historical considering most countries abolished slavery before child labor
What you think Mormon Polygamy was about? It was about bolstering the labor pool, homie, for real
@@jacobjonesofmagna 🤣
@@jacobjonesofmagna Anyone who has worked construction in Utah knows about the unlimited labor pool of polygamist companies. Cheapest labor on the market.
Hippity hoppity, children are property.
I love that part AlzaboHD says "Its mormonin' time!" And then proceeds to make the greatest empire in North America
Truly one of the religious christian sects of all time.
He really mormed all over them.
At that point I left a dislike and then a like i felt that it was important to get that off my chest
Good Mormoning!
You mean when he mormed all over them?
I like how this world is so cursed, it forced Michigan to implode
who needs a UP vs LP war when you can have a 3 way thrunderdome of governments that are completely the same just to stick it to the boring Mormons
Can’t have shit in Michigan
@@roamandread1451 fucking Detroit, amiright?
It's so cursed that the Confederacy owns the East Coast and the US proper owned the middle states, lmao.
@@keterpatrol7527 Detroit is so goddamn eerie. I’ve been there a few times and the streets were always empty as hell
I love the part where Alzabo said "IT'S MORMON TIME!" and just Mormed all over the place.
And the thing is... that does literally happen.
"Ah a better timeline than our own. Rights for everyone!"
CSA has African colonies: "Oh... shit."
It's a northern mormon puppet CSA at least?
A yankee confederate state colonising Africa, has to be the most cursed timeline I have seen.
That was forced to abolish slavery by the mormons
I love how irl we essentially sent the Mormons to Utah so this wouldn’t happen.
😂
The line from the Native bro/friend(Graham Greene) in the (Mel Gibson(?)) Maverick movie
"...so we decided to move somewhere so god-awful that people would leave us alone!"
My bloodline marched with brigham young lol
My ancestor Hosea Stout was the speaker of the independent Utah house of representatives during this period. Fun fact: he's probably the guy who poisoned Jospeh Smith's brother and successor, and helped orchestrate the move out west.
Lol I see what you mean, but they were simply kicked out of they're cities and fled the US to Mexico to just end up back in America 😂
they thought they were in Mexico when they got to the salt lake and set up shop there. Mormons have a very silly history beyond Joseph Smith.
Alzabo once again proves that he needs a rap album
And a metal one. My man went sang Sabaton during Manifest Deseret.
Been spending most their lives living in a Mormon Paradise.
I was thinking of writing a cute poem but yeah that sure
I love that it’s implied that New Africa enslaved Former plantation owners
I think they did lol
They had better. That is realistic.
based on what i saw they had a successful aristocratic revolt, and that might be when they brought back slavery
which would either mean the original plantation owners just took back power, but forgot to change the name of the country, or they replaced the plantation owners with new people, who immediately decided they wanted to have slaves just like the previous owners
both are pretty hilarious propositions
@@obamabiden
I should note that there were actually free blacks with massive slave plantations. These were the dominant elites in New Orleans.
It is entirely possible that those black freemen kept slavery going.
@@TurtleShroom3 Liberia moment
Usually, Alzebo make really cursed nation, but this timeline Mormon are litteraly the best place on eart. Not complaining
In this timeline instead of being killed by an angry mob Joseph Smith just mormed on them and escaped. Historians will write about him being one of the men of all time.
You know, I think it is given the timeline.
What do Mormons eat after a 3-course meal?
Deseret
This comment really makes me want to Morm.
Watching this slowly unfold through occasional screens in the Discord has been a real highlight over the last few weeks as I was making my own videos :P
I can't help but MORM, thank you for your patience
How some will think Alzabo came up with this video: "I do believe it could be an interesting video to conquer the world economy and make Deseret the greatest place on earth."
How Alzabo really came up with this video: "IT'S MORMON TIME!"
If your not LDS you did a fantastic job on insider language and knowledge!
Right? 😂
Love it that you referenced sabaton when you said "thousands of feet have marched too the beat"
New Africa is definitely an interesting nation. Also absolutely hilarious the Confederacy is the Northeast while the Union is the Midwest. Imagine that history book
My favorite part of the Book of Mormon is when the angel appears and says "It’s Mormin' time"
I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now, and I'm still not sure if I love or hate the rhymes.
I hate them tbh, why does this guy rhyme so much
@@AlzaboHD I love it
Yes
“What’s the price of a mile” “thousands of feet March to the beat” is that a sabaton reference
It’s mormon’ time!
Thank you for your comment. I can see that you are also about to Morm.
@@AlzaboHD :D
It's alright ami, all of us absolutely abhor the astonishing abuse of alliteration.
Dude you and Taureor got me into these games. I'll always be grateful. I'm shipping out to the navy in a few weeks, but I'll always remember my last few years as the time I fell in love with these games. Thanks Alzabo. You are the man.
Thank you for your support Christian! All the best to you and safe travels on your journey.
Congratulations on joining that finest navy. Before I left I binged watch a whole bunch of these statistic games and even played some campaign with a few buddies.
I’m still amazed that AlzaboHD could be a good lyricist/composer yet here he is making Paradox Map Game videos
As a Jamaican I'd love to see if it's possible to do anything substantial as the West Indies. Idk if it's in the game but basically the West Indies Federation was a short lived Federation of British island colonies and Belize and Guyana that was set to be granted independence as one nation (and hence we play cricket together) in the 1950s but it never happened because Jamaica pulled out of the union, and got their own independence in 1962. I imagine it probably wouldn't be a very popular playthrough but if it's possible I'd love to see it, hopefully others would too.
Eminem has been real quite since Alzabo dropped these rhymes
As a member of the LDS church, this is the funniest thing I've seen all day.
SAME
Yep XD
Indeed
I would love to see you play Texas, the Balkan nation that I live in
I'm From Texas and love Texas in V3. Definitely on my mind! Have to find a way to make it challenging + enjoyable , it's pretty easy honestly. Cheers!
I'm going try to imitate this campaign with nothing but LDS Tabernacle Choir songs playing in the background
"Put Your Shoulder To The Wheel" was already great BGM for playing CK3, now it'll be twice as topical
O.o wait stop-
*TOO MUCH HALLELUJAH
INTENSIFIES*
Fr not ready for my remaining impurities to be burned and scrubbed away by the force of untold megatons and a bar of "Scottish Spring" 😄
Their version of Battle Hymn of the Republic isn't a suggestion for that playlist: *IT'S MANDATORY*
(Seriously though, that arrangement is the best one I've heard, and it's awesome to sing. We use to have the Choir, Band and Orchestra play it at High School graduation as a tradition spanning decades. They got rid if it from the line up a couple of years ago, and I'm still mad.)
You mentioned "John Smith" at 15:58. I think Joseph Smith was the founder of the Mormon faith.
Oops. Thank you for the knowledge!
July 1837-The first missionaries sent abroad by the Church arrived in Liverpool, England
October 27, 1838- Missouri Executive Order 44- Governor Boggs directed that "the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State if necessary for the public peace
1857-1858-The Utah War- President James Buchanan sent U.S. forces to the Utah Territory in what became known as the Utah Expedition.
Dude this video was Hilarious! would be a great campaign.
The funny thing about that extermination order is that, aside from resentment already existing due to our anti-slavery stance, it came as a response to a threat on gov. Boggs' life.
A guy's gun was found outside the gov's window after a shot had come through it and missed. They found that guy, and he says: (been a while so paraphrasing more or less)~ 'that Mormon, Porter Rockwell was in my shop earlier today; he musta stole my gun and did this!'
And they went for it.
The funniest thing about that is:
If it had been Porter, you best believe Boggs would actually dead;
Cus Porter wouldn't MISS. 😂
You should play a Native American tribe
To be fair, Deseret is a Native tribe at release (3,000 native americans) but becoming a part of the American market sort of erased that. It's a good idea, thanks!
@@AlzaboHD I just got the game and was looking at the map and there is so much potential, sokoto and Madagascar in Africa, Circassia and krakow in Europe, there are so many countries that look insanely hard to play.
@@poo_ass4174 Yeah I think I'll try Merina kingdom or Solomonids once I grasp the mechanics. Yesterday I tried Hudson Bay Company and I failed to be the biggest GDP in Canada(thus unable to unify it). I increased GDP to £700k but Upper Canada had £950k then their GDP shoot up to 1.3 million in 3 years and I was like "bruh ;_;"
Edit: I tried Merina Kingdom. It was hella cool. First I tried to develop my economy all by myself but it didn't work(I was also isolationist so I could not import goods) so I improved relations with GB and became their protectorate. This allowed me to access British Market. British market had some expensive goods such as cloth and furniture. So I built furniture manufactories and textile mills. Cash started coming in. The hardest thing was researching technology and fucking landowners cockblocking me to pass progressive laws. I banned slavery in 1875 that's how powerful they were. I decreed social mobility in my 2 states and I built many universities but they gave a very small bonus to innovation. So yeah it's pretty cool!
@@AlzaboHD
Native Mormericans.
I'd like to see you play as Madagascar, for no other reason that to hear your prononciation and hopefully some puns.
Bro.... he literally Mormed all the World
The psicologist: Latino alzabo isnt real he cant hurt you.
Latino alzabo: *YO SOY EL GRINGO*
great video btw i was kinda on the fence with vicky 3 but this convinced me to give it a shot
YO SOY EL GRINGO
As a member of the LDS church, my favorite part of the Book of Mormon is when Joseph Smith yelled “it’s mormin time!” and mormed all over satan. Truly one of the moments. Also when Brigham Young said “Ambatamorm!” was so inspiring. …I’m going to hell for that joke. Worth it lol
Update: ex.
Man I'll be right there with you for laughing at it 🤣
Paradox: Victoria 3 is NOT a map painter. You WILL focus on your economy.
Alzabo, guided by Joseph Smith: 21:14
Founding Deseret before the historical Mormon migration feels very odd lol
"And then, the evil wheept and the devil himself felt fear, as the words were said... it's mormin' time"
As a Utah native, I agree with this video and conquest
This was very entertaining. As a member of the church which you portrayed I appreciated this videos humorous take.
Man literally map painted in a game where the Devs were doing everything they could to make it impossible. Well done paradox
This was quite entertaining like all other AlzaboHD videos. Being a non-Mormon, I still picked up clever puns and references. Great job.
As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints (Mormons) this video was perfect. I loved the references to the book of Mormon and the storytelling. I was already excited for this game so seeing you play it like this makes me want it play it even more. Keep up the great work!
Love you my brother.
"Salt Lake City is the birthplace of electricity, skyscrapers, and aviation. In terms of economy, we make more money than the rest of the world combined. Our prestige, GDP, and standard of living are double that of our closest competition."
OTL Mormons punching the air rn
7:04 The Mormon-American War.
Can't believe Zachary Taylor is in the game
Yo no way?
( I paused to check the comment section before watching more video so I probably should do that)
as a mormon, this... does put a smile on my face
Do you really have magical underwear?
@@hellshakeyano2327 its called that, but really its just meant to symbolize some type of covenant with God, there are these symbols on it that mean something but idk what they are cause I haven't gotten married yet
Byzantium, no more words required. 😅😂
South Park is what got me asking questions about what Mormonism even is only to discover some relevations. I knew Nauvoo was some town in Illinois north of where I live but I had no idea it was founded by Joseph Smith. They came to our school when I was in elementary like around 2009 or something and none of us had any idea who the hell these people were but they showed us some cool old timey stuff and got us out of class so that's all we cared about. Then I found out that I've actually been to the place several times where Smith was killed at in Carthage, Illinois. Had no fuckin idea Mormonism had history here. Mormons are the kings of garage sales around here. There's a Mormon town that essentially turns into a marketplace wherein there's only one road that loops around the entire town and you just drive down it, get out, buy shit, get back in the car and go a little ways further and repeat until you're back to the start.
On another note we have a ton of Amish as well. I'm talking full on horse carriage taking up the entire road and refusing to move for you kind of Amish. They came back when Amish were essentially open season in Missouri. An Amish playthrough of Viky 3 would be pretty interesting if possible.
My bloodline was with brigham young actually. i am no longer an active mormon but i grew up in it if you have questions.
The wordplay is always astounding, great job!
It's kinda dissapointing how they didn't add the mormon religion and an event for the mormons to colonize utah and gain cores for deseret as such, it makes no sense as utah in 1836 had no mormons
Hmm yeah but like all the good pagan options in Ck2-3 it would be dlc right?
THEY DIDN'T ADD MORMONISM TI THE GAME, BUT THEY ADDED DESERET?!
@@TurtleShroom3 heh as an LDS person, while it's simple for me at this point in my life I imagine that they would have to do tons of research on our history, talk to lots of us, and even then it would probably still be very difficult to implement.
Unless they were able to observe the pros and cons our historical religion-influenced choices produced overtime and add modifiers to replicate that after a fashion.
I mean Brigham Young basically made sure that roads in Salt Lake City, and most settlements, were wide enough 'for a 40 mule team to turn around', (also grid city plan system ftw), and I think even made sure a shaft was left in the Salt Lake temple ahead of time largely for the later advents of Semi-Trucks and modern elevators respectively.
As a Utahn, this is what North America will look like in 2133. The Caliphate of Deseret shall reign supreme.
I liked the subtle references to the sabaton song “price of a mile”
13:41
It’s an army on the march,
Knee deep, in mud,
stuck in a trench with no way out
Another great video! I would be so triggered trying to scan through all those clips, especially since they aren't labeled lol you're a better man than I, sir.
you should make a Vic 3 video
joseph smith is smiling somewhere
What a beautifull way to discover a new TH-camr. Love the naration ad the smooth voice :)
Finally a vic3 video that is not just green line go up! Cheers!
Literally playing Hoi4 OWB in Vic 3, Deseret, going after Nevada, war with Santa Anna, it's like poetry, it rhymes
I have discovered your channel very recently and I can’t stop watching your videos
Got a new sub here, no idea how I haven't watched a video of yours yet. Honestly fantastic.
Cheers Nathan! Thank you for the support
Same! First video, but I think I will stay for more
So here is a fun one.
We know what path Japan took in real life. It was a unified Empire ruled under the Imperial powers since the Meji Restoration.
Would it be possible to split it up again and rule as The Shogun?
The lyrics of this video suddenly turning into sabaton gave me whiplash
i never thought paradox would actually add new afrika, im glad they gave us the representation that we almost never get in their games
Same ✊🏾
bit odd he had to militarily enforce a ban on slavery on new afrika, though
They always add very obscure and could have happened states in their games. They can't add everything obviously, but for ck3 for example they added a lot of religions in Africa compared to ck2 and give a lot of opportunities to shape Africa the way you want with any religion and culture.
This is the most playthrough ever
I grew up watching my dad playing Age Of Empires II (the 90s edition with polygons you could cut bread on) and playing some myself, and I think that sparked my love for this sort of top-down world management game. I recently got the AoE II remastered version and it’s so addictive. This channel really fuels this fixation so thanks for taking up a significant chunk of my time I guess lol
Incredible as always you got me into all the paradox games
So very well made! Quite literally the highest quality PDX videos out there!
"It is Mormon' time" - St. Joseph probably
Lost it at "getting railed" 🤣
Honestly, this first Vic 3 was the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a while ❤. I’m from Michigan and it would be a delight if you did Michigan next as an empire!
I love the subtle Huey Long reference, Every Man a King!
love the shout out to Sabaton's song Price of a Mile. Thousands of Feet march to the Beat
On a Sabaton spree recently when scripting these - it's really showing through!
Somewhere in solar heaven Porter Rockwell is smiling on this video
You cannot imagine how many times did I retry and still cannot follow your "guide" :D America 7 out of 10 never wants me to become his protectorate, and most of the times annecting theocracy plummets for some reason, one day its at 54% the next is at 14%
Took me 6 restarts on the current patch! About 8 on the one before that - and US would never protectorate me, only UK. If you increase relations with both you can snag one after a few restarts. Good luck!
@@AlzaboHD nah. GB was never an option. Russia is though..almost allways..would that work?
Just dawned on me that every victoria 3 playthrough is near identical in what you do.
As a Utahn this is beautiful we finally got our deseret
I would really like to see you play South Australia, form Australia and create the most stable economic powerhouse on Earth by 1901.
Love your vids btw, keep up the amazing work :)
Deseret is not as weak as Jan Mayen
Been waiting on this all day
Alzabo if u see this I want you to know that finding your channel a while back was incredible. I love seeing these videos and I always look forward to them
I liked when he said its mormon time then mormd into a mormon
I want to see an animated or acted depiction of Mormon Cowboys in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Northern Mexico, and Kansas
This feels both cozy and memey, fantastic.
The fact that New Afrika is in this game is so dope lol
The theme song started playing in my head so fast
It's awesome that he Mormed the State of the Deseret. But seriously, the amount of stretches and puns in this one video is quite amazing.
I would love to see a playthrough in South America with the goal of establishing irl borders for the whole continent.
This timeline is so cursed, it may as well be its own Hoi4 setting, dark LDS, "The Thousand-year Tabernacle". I've no idea what you'd call a great world war in this setting, though.
The wordplay. Amazing.
That's a damn solid poetry, my man
as a utah native, I loved every minute of this
i love how you make rimes will make the video it make is fun to watch, and i love you videos, keep up the good work
Mexico:
Released Utah without conditions, as a friendly gesture.
Utah:
"It's war then"
So Great Lakes turned into Cyberpunk
I was already leaning towards buying this game. But now that I know you can play as the Deseret Nation and take over the world as a Mormon theocracy, I'M ALL IN!!
I like the idea of lake michigan being filled with pirates
Honestly probably the best Vicky 3 content so far
I was summoned for this video, I might have to get the game now.
Love the sabaton references
