I'd suggest taking the time to get the Ethiopian gold mines before fighting the Mamluks, it makes for a much better economy. Once you defeated the Mamluks it's probably best to take as much Egyptian land as possible, state it and culture flip to Egyptian right after forming Israel. The Levantine culture group is the third best after the German and Chinese and you are in an easy position to take advantage of that.
@@eu4meta583 Not true. You can get that achievement without forming Israel at all as Semien or a nation that converted to Judaism through rebels, most likely Ethiopia. In fact, it’s way easier to do the Shemot is Not achievement as Ethiopia rather than Semien (which is why I stipulated that only forming Israel as Semien should reward the hypothetical achievement)
@@beanburrito4405 Even easier to do it as the Mamluks. Conquer the Jewish provinces from Ethiopia and get Jewish rebels to keep converting your land. Do it right and by the time you flip, you'll only have the convert a few more provinces.
@@DiamondDust132 That's how I did it, but the faster you try to force it all to happen and if you're a bit clumsy with it like I was, your game will be border line unplayable after accomplishing it because of the economic strain it puts on you. I needed to go through like 3 or 4 revolts before they converted enough land to make their enforce demands flip the county to Judaism instead of just becoming independent, and that just ruined my economy.
mainstream Jews also have a priestly class still-long-sidelined they may have been since the Temple got destroyed, the kohanim still has specific roles to fulfill in many parts of modern Judaism
Happy 2022 everyone, I'm back and going to try to stay on schedule! Next week we've got a mystery video AND the long awaited CK3 inbreeding video so stay tuned! I'm curious to know - what type of videos would you like to see in the future? Let me know in the comments below and thank you for your support!
I'd love to see an Athens run. Continuing the Crusader state mission tree or culture swapping to Greek and forming Greece and retaking old school hellenic lands or building a formidable tall empire there would be cool. Just anything out of Athens lol
One WC is more than enough for me, talk about torture! Not even a one tag or one faith but I did it as OPM Theodoro and will never do that again lol. Thanks for the comment and cheers!
I think it's a tab bit off putting that the Ethiopian troops turn into generic European troops after forming israel but besides that this is a campaign I've been wanting to do for a while, thanks for the video
funny coincedence i too am currently playing as semien/israel. i pretended that aggressive expansion does not exist and own everything between alexandria and sansibar before the age of reformation.
Are you using the "Home of the Jews" Torah aspect? The +35 opinion bonus on EVERY christian and muslim nation is insane and absolutely prevented coalitions from firing in my campaign!
@@AlzaboHD i actually missed that i thought it was just dev cost. i just kept declaring war and never gave anyone a chance to form a coalition lol. that strategy was inspired by social streamers theodoro playthrough.
I'd kinda like to see you do a guide for Venice their unique government is mildly confusing to EU4 novices and I feel like you'd find a way to make a Venetian campaign very interesting.
I waged war on the Mamluks but when I tried to take Jerusalem, Gaza and Jaffa, I couldn't because I got the message "Cannot select this province because Semien cannot make it a core". What did I do wrong?
In ck3. starting as Han chinese in either starting date. convert to a traditional African religion, take over the british isles, and convert all of it to that religion.
Rough plan for that campaign 1. War your way down from your starting point to the coast 2. War your way over to the Horn of Africa 3. Convert to the Somali religion, and reform it 4. Now war to the British isles
Can you pls make a part 2 for the eunuch of Galilee and his son Judas? The emir of shaytan lives rent free in my head. Gonna need a sequel to drive him out.
I wish I could! That was my favorite campaign I've ever made. Unfortunately it was lost when my old harddrive died - but I am definitely up to recreating it in CK3 once more DLC is out! Thank you for your comment
Shit, no kosher. It is all treff as shit. He contrasted Beta Israel (House of Israel) with some bullshit "alfa Israel" (tongue of Israel). Chujowe, nie koszerne. Trefne jak wszyscy diabli. Koleś zestawił Beta Izrael (Dom Izraela) z jakimś zmyślonym gównianym "alfa Izraelem" (językiem Izraela).
Why would you stay Amhara. Converting to Syrian/Egyptian in the Levantine group is much better. Just convert your goldmines beforehand and keep amhara as accepted. Hell you can even convert to Yemeni after annexing the vassal.
I'm new to EU4 and I am trying to follow your guide. I forgot to check scornful insult when insulting the vassals. Ethiopia beat back those attacking it, has built a bigger army than I can support, and I don't have the option of having Adol or any place supporting my independence. Also, before the truce expired my ruler had an heir that was significantly worse than he was, and very quickly took over the throne. Should I start over or is it salvageable? Also, what am I supposed to do with the merchants? I can only see one trade area to send a merchant to, and he can either steer trade which gives me 0.00 ducats, or collect from the node which gives around at least some positive ducats.
Hit mamluks when they are busy? That's a tough call. It seems like there is something in the code that makes mamluks ignore any AI enemy they are fighting against, and focus all their forces on the player. I have tried that trick with the Ottomans while the mamluks were fighting in Africa, the Mamluks let the africans ravage their land in order to concentrate all their forces against me. I tried again with mughals while the Mamluks were fighting the Ottomans. The Mamluks ignored the Ottomans and let them advance up until Egypt, so that they could send all their army to defend their precious territories that were next to me (lol). I even tried that with Vijayanagar, the Mamluks were fighting the Ottomans again. I mean I was not really surprised when the Mamluks pretended the Ottomans were not there, sent their entire army against me and valiantly managed to defend their provinces in Arabia. Too bad the Ottomans just marched, took their capital, forced them to lose most of the middle east and pay heavy tribute but hey... at least they did not lose to the player...
This is a pretty fun run. I recommend grabbing the two gold mines in the south early - past the first Mamluk war at latest. It can help fund your economy till you get enough trade.
I enjoy your videos but when i hovered over the thumbnail i was assaulted by absolute trash making me recoil and deciding to not watch your video at all. Please refrain from doing this
It's a shame that semian and Israel don't get unique mission tree. Honestly after forming Israel and taking its ideas I formed Ethiopia for it's government reform, empire and better mission tree.

Don’t care + ratio + fell off
There should be an achievement for this called something like "Beta to full release" or "Beta to Alpha" or a joke like that.
Beta to full release is the worst joke I've heard in a long time, love it
Although beta to alpha has a better ring to it

Yes! Another video of my favourite rhymer with the most soothing voice!
I personally would love to see an Orleans game, up with the matriarchy and all that.
Didn’t realize that Ethiopia was a new endgame tag so my Jewish Ethiopia->Israel campaign was a bit of a bust 😬
Well that saves me a half dozen hours. Thanks friend.
Semen nation superior anyway
@@johnlienhart2717 your welcome!
thanks dude
עם ישראל חי!
Edit: The 'Beta' in Beta Israel means house, so they are the House of Israel.
Huh! I always assumed it meant something like second Isreal as in "we can't have our 1st perfrance so this has to do!"
@@Abd121 why would it mean second?
@@ShayPatrickCormacTHEHUNTER beta is the second letter
@@etaiger. Oh the alpha beta thing. Why would that have any connection with us tho? It's Greek. Even if the alphabet is canaanite in origin.

you make a lot of references to Rabbis here but Ethiopian jews didn't/don't have rabbis, they have Kahens, which are closer to priests.
mainstream Jews also have a priestly class still-long-sidelined they may have been since the Temple got destroyed, the kohanim still has specific roles to fulfill in many parts of modern Judaism
Some if us do practice rabbinical Judaism so…

It would be cool to see you form Japan as the weakest Japanese state in eu4

a hisn kayfa guide
Do a Russia video
a Hawaii game would be interesting to see
I'd really like to see you continue this campaign, into the 1600s and if you're really masochistic then into a one faith.
One WC is more than enough for me, talk about torture! Not even a one tag or one faith but I did it as OPM Theodoro and will never do that again lol. Thanks for the comment and cheers!

This would be a really interesting alternate history scenario.
Why dont u take gold mines in your region for boost your economy it was the easiest way *.*
I waged war on the Mamluks but when I tried to take Jerusalem, Gaza and Jaffa, I couldn't because I got the message "Cannot select this province because Semien cannot make it a core". What did I do wrong?
You need to be within colonial range and have a land or sea connection
@@space__idklmao How do I know if the provinces I want to take are within colonial range?
@@EranMurat They will be brown and unselectable if they aren’t within range or you don’t have a connection

That's why he created Israel and not Palestine!
Guys can we please not. lol
@@scheefgaan as i quote him "in the state of Palestine"
For the money problem, why not consolodate power in the Ethiopia region and gain access to the gold mines in Damot and Kaffa?

Glad to meet you, Israel-Ethiopia
“Holy land” 😂
19:00 Queen Elizabeth I: 👁👄👁
Play as Chinook and try to prevent European colonization of the west coast and maybe colonize the Pacific yourself?
In ck3. starting as Han chinese in either starting date. convert to a traditional African religion, take over the british isles, and convert all of it to that religion.
Rough plan for that campaign
1. War your way down from your starting point to the coast
2. War your way over to the Horn of Africa
3. Convert to the Somali religion, and reform it
4. Now war to the British isles
This is just forming modern day Britain challenge
I still don't understand how you're so good at eu4
I'm not that great really, I completely forgot the gold mines south of Semien lol. Thanks for watching!
Cool vid bro
Cool comment bro
Try a Komnenos restoration, but instead of Rome, it’s Rum.
Tibet! Stay theocratic, vajrayana, keep capital in Lhasa and convert all of china! Convert culture too!
still waiting for the romanian cheater to do it in only 3 years and faking a guide lol did you see the last manchu guide? got exposed hard

Please search how to pronounce chutzpah lol
No vassalization of Damot or Ethiopia. Lack of southern expansion for the gold mines is foolish.
Good Job Alzabo!
Great video Alzabo! Could we get an updated guide on Navarra?
7:51 our WHAT!?
meager
Very painful pronounciation of chutzpah.
I think a Mogadishu reform into horde will be a nice idea
Sure, your rhyming catches attention. But it's your alliteration that is truly intriguing!
Imagine complaining about economy and not taking 2 free gold mines couple provinces down from your border
Took me 8 restarts.
Formed israel and got the Achievement, i stayed with Semien ideas as they are better overall than the Israeli ones.
israel is spelled like isreal which means is real therefore half life 3
but y would Israel start on the other side of the Persian gulf?
Turn Ethiopia into a dystopia bruh Charisma 100 moment
How to form Israel and have cores to release Siemen too? It is a challenge - to have two countries.
From Beta to Sigma Israel
Why wouldn't you just go south and pick up the two gold mines in Damot and Kaffa? You wouldn't run into any money problems that way.
The true pro tip is always in the comments! Thanks for letting me know, I completely forgot about this. Debt is only a number, right?
saw yourcomment under the latest stromae, you got taste man
"As Ethiopia is a Dystopia"
To real, to real...
I would love to see Jewish Germany on ironman
I love the script, but you needed to look up how to pronounce a bunch of the words
