This was a cool challenge, really different from usual CK3 where here you had to struggle to stay afloat. Would love more videos like this, playing as a distant culture and faith.
There’s a couple similar starts in the Godherja total conversion mod. If you haven’t played it it’s a fantasy mod where a magic style Roman Empire fell apart called Averseria. In the eastern portion of the map there’s a Averserian Legion surrounded by Mongol analogues.

This mod, and the upcoming Eagle Rising mod make me want Paradox to continue updating Imperator:Rome. With the final updates they made 2 years ago being very good, and actually making it a fun game. They recently made a patch to the game, making the first update since Marius and its associating patches, so hopefully it will make a return.
There was no saving Imperator. Its foundations were poorly designed and the devs could only do so much to work everything else around that. Improved certainly but very good? No, and it never will be. There's still nothing substantial separating playing a Celtic tribe from Rome, there's no system to simulate how Rome subjugated entire regions simultaneously using trade and diplomacy before military force. Sad as the map looks gorgeous and obviously a lot of time went into making it very detailed and well researched.
@@shaddaboop7998 None of your complaints have anything to do with the foundations of the game. They can do this if they return to developing it. Right now it is at the point it should have been at release. The game lacks content, not features.
@@imcardbored8394 The foundation of the game was a micromanagement hellscape that tried to marry EU4 map painting and Victoria population management while missing the point of both. I believe the entire game would need to be redone because the level of asymmetric gameplay and dynamism that I feel is needed isn't supported by the engine. Imperator is one of those things that you can keep piling features on top of but the core concept is rubbish, based on other popular GSGs without understanding why those systems worked in those games. Basically I can't imagine a way for the devs to build a system to, say, simulate the complexity of the Roman conquest of Gaul without basically replacing all the clunky existing systems. Although depth has been added Imperator is still about painting the map in painfully small incremental chips. It doesn't accurately reflect how empires or tribes functioned in the era and it isn't fun either to boot. Nobody wins.
@@shaddaboop7998 it is a great idea, no matter how you turn it, i know you want IR to work too... i understand why you said that.. its mostly true or irrelevant to me, but the way you speak of IR wont make PDX reconsider doing a VIC2-VIC3 style rebirth nor patching whats patchable in IR. (funny how humans work, but just putting a disclaimer infront of sthg that you really like the XXX will make them more succeptible to your idea... of completely redoing IR and relaunching it.)
When granting a newly conquered duchy, grant each county to a different person. That way you manage their individual power and increase the chances of getting a good vassal for your council. Then, once you get a kingdom title, you can give the duchy to your favourite dejure count.
This reminds me of the book 'Empire of Dragons' by Valerio Massimo Manfredi. It's a good read I recommend it to anyone interested in a scenario like this.

Thanks for showing off the MOD, i didn't know about it, just FYI on the cultural acceptance, I keep hearing you look at the vassalage gain for it? No need to really focus on that vs, the yearly gain over all. Also at one point you said .65 + (20 mins in), it was .50+ cause you had a - for decay. The yearly change is the only one is the one that matters, the others are just the details on how it got to be the yearly gain. Also your battles, Terrain matters (River Crossings/Mountains), different buffs matter (Your territory/theirs, equipment or other traits or dynasty unlocks can help as well). Just some stuff that could help out maximize your game play. enoyed the video though, GG
A legion didn't get stranded in China, a few roman prisoners were taken in a battle, and the parthians resettled them on the opposite side of the empire so they could use them to fight.
Oh, right, cultural acceptance. If one of your counties are part of your own culture. The culture acceptance goes much faster with other cultures since there are much more intermingling.

The problem that this happened 200 years before first Eagle start date and I am preaty sure no mods for ck3 go that far back.

It was long gone by the start date
Likely the reason you weren't getting vassals from your wars was that you were the same rank (duke).
It’s doesn’t matter if you’re pluralist if there is no one to vassalize. You wouldn’t vassalize an enemy unless it’s a subjugation war.
