@luistroops3341 It was relevant, although not in European in history, but there were interactions back then especially in Egypt. Also, I like other demographics like the Mongols, China, and India. It gives me more options other than Europe, although some may have a different opinion and just want it all European.
@@dunbass7149 game is called crusader kings, hence why subsaharan Africa in this context is a waste of resources....plus we do not have much info about them since most... Didn't record anything in "written" records
You play at such a high speed that sometimes you'll miss small stuff. I think the reason why you lost some of those battles at the end was because your armies didn't have commanders. The previous leader died and you didn't fill the spot, which makes your armies basically paper mache
Slowing down the game and working on the finer stuff really does help with things like war. Doing wars on 5 speed might be faster but it can cause lots of headaches because of simple mistakes like that
@@dagothhyde7297 You both make solid points but you have to see it from the prespective of a content creator. Time is money, playing fast to get that video up before EOD.
As an african it's fun to think of a united african empire that can have access to its own resources. How different history would be if this had actually happened.
That would involve a lot of blood 🩸 and tears 😭 to gain the crisis shock ⚡ necessary for reforms and boosts to sensibility to mimic the conditions of the rest of the world's powers 💪. Less so with a lot of polygamy.
Slavery wouldn't have happened, or it would have happened in a much smaller size than it did, because tribes would have worked together to repell the invaders and not tried to enslave their rivals and made money off it Also, having the ability to collect resources and riches with that size, could have resulted in a country similar to India. It's very romantic and nice to think how that could have happened. An african empire of that magnitude would be beautiful.
36:57 if you had captured the red parts of the war target then you would have kept those aswell as the dejure africa borders and could have gotten all of it in one war. That's how invade kingdom cb works. You also get anything that you control during the war that is outside their dejure realm! thanks for the video!
There was a malinke-kru hybridization and when a hybrid touches the original cultures they naturally spread and can completely kill the original culture. You being Kru you can actually still hybridize if you liked certain things about your original culture.
Uniting Africa is pretty time consuming, but it's not actually as tough as it looks thanks to the gold mines and lots of your opponents being pretty weak. Taking over Tibet starting as a count felt much more miserable, despite the smaller land area; the lack of income really makes it feel like your never getting anywhere.
Your Men at Arms are considered to be at your capital. So when you raise them a continent away, it takes them a while for them to get there. You could move your capital, but it is probably better to just deal with it.
"Alkebulan" isn't the original name of Africa. It means "Land of the Blacks" in Arabic. The idea of it being "the original name" is a pseudohistorical concept invented by various African American groups in the US. There was never a name for the entire continent, indigenous or otherwise, until "Africa" (originally the name of a Roman province whose origins are unknown).
Africa was the name that the Romans used to describe Tunisia and parts of northern Algeria Also as an arab that speaks arabic natively I assure you that the word Alkebulan is not of arabic origin
You were so close lmao, Alkebulan doesn't exist in Arabic, Black rights groups that played with Islam and Arab culture like they were toys for their own use tended to just make shit up and slap an Arab label on it to give it an air of legitimacy
for later playthorughs: when you educate your childs and you want them to be a good steward, the guardian needs to have primary good stewardship and only secondary good learning. there are many factors, but if you have a genius educator and he has only maybe 5 stewardship then the child wont get a good education.
@@SnapStrategy i read a whole thread about it. There are more factors like university etc. ,but the three most important things i kept in mind on that in order are: having an guardian overall makes a huge difference, second most important having an guardian with a high primary stat of the education of the child and the last as a secondary is a high learning stat.
Bravo, this was awesome. i like your style of play! i was watching some tall builds, and those are very mechanical based. This is good down and dirty gameplay. I just united a Bengal Empire and finally am stabilizing. I might try to spread Christianity to it
In my previous game (before this DLC) I had almost half the world under my rule, started in Santiago (867AD), got all africa land, the bizantine empire, some of the europe and a big portion of asia, it was almost 1244 when completed it XD, the war with the bizantines lasted more than 10 years, it was hell
I got so close then when i died my great granddaughter patrilienally married so my realm got split to people not in my dynasty! Gah i was just some straggling counties in Egypt away
It was cool that you was able to go feudal with togbah the 2nd as togbah was the original patriarch. Should save togbah the 3rd for when you're near the next era or once you conquer europe. Shoutout to Togbah "the insane"
You messed up twice 1 just retarct vassals lower that kings power 2 you should have just promoted culture in your most developed county that would boost your research since it is based off your average you should also make hybrid with aken culture they have an alsome tradition
They should fix culture issues; I was annoyed recently when I selected the tradition that improves trade markets in coastal regions and during a brief time when I was not cultural head the next cultural head was able to change it to something else mid change.
25:55 except its not the original name of Africa. The earliest you can find use of that name is from like the 1600s not to mention its an Arabic word. So it doesn't even originate from the continent of Africa. There is no original name for Africa the continent is way to big and diverse for something like that to have happened in ancient times.
I'm amazed there weren't more attempts on your life with ruling such a large amount of land. I'm sure long-term playing this large would bring a lot of drama, lots of assassinations between vassals I imagine.
Alkebulan is not an “original” name for Africa, there is no historical evidence to suggest this whatsoever. It was most likely appropriated by notorious anti-Semite and pseudoscientist Yosef Ben-Jochannan in 1972, as the only other reference to it is in Thevet’s 1575 work “Cosmographie Universelle”. At most it is Arabic (although “kebulan” is not a word in Arabic), but it’s most likely pseudo-Arabic and means nothing. Even assuming that it is Arabic, it wouldn’t be an original name either since Arabs aren’t native to Africa as they invaded and conquered North Africa in the 700s. “Africa” is a better name for it in my opinion, as it was at least created by Carthaginians during Roman times. The concept of modern Africa as a continent wouldn’t even have existed a long time ago, as they had no way of navigating past the jungles in central Africa or through the dangerous waters of Cape Bojador. I just thought someone interested in history would like to know this.
Hey, Snap Strategy, there's a bit of a mistake in this video, Alkebulan, this is not the original name of the African Continent, this however is an Arabic name for Africa first seen in literature around the 16th century,
Can you continue the series? Unite Africa with Iberia, Britain, Western Europe, etc. It would be interesting to see this dynasty continue as well as try to invade more land and try to keep the realm stable. Each empire/area could be an episode long.
What if this Africa made conquest to the new world first before Europe? That's some interesting alt history fanfiction world building potential right there!
A tip for future videos: if you go in to the settings you can disable dynasty title names on the map so that you can rename your primary title instead of the dynasty
"We haven't found out who the murderer was and I want to find that out because I want revenge." My number one suspect would be... YOU. The heir had the most to gain.
The "Unite Africa" desicion in my opinion is a massive failiure. For collecting all that land, withstanding crusades and jihads, all you get is a nickname and 750 prestige... It doesnt even give you a de-jure empire over all the land you've collected with a unique name or anything, you literally just get a nickname. The unite slavs descisions are way better cos at least they give you techs and de-jure overlordship. The worst part is that this is literally THE ONLY unique descision african rulers get
> Unites a continent
> Gets a nickname and 750 prestige
United half of a continent
Also 33 percent chance for each county to flip to your religion
It's a crime that the decision gives you only 750 prestige lol. It should be a lot of renown like for the Iberian struggle
My biggest complaint about this massive effort is that it doesn’t create a giga empire. You can do it with the Roman Empire, why not Africa?
You can mod it very easily tho, there is probably at least one mod that does this
There's no pan-European empire either. False equivalence.
Also, the Roman Empire was real, and has an historical reason to exist.
Because the Roman Empire actually existed.
@@hevnervals There should be one though. 🤷
@mrbisshie Yeah, with all its decadence and corrupt institutions just like most empires.
The unify Africa event is so underwhelming given the huge achievement you just did.
why did paradox even add sub Saharan Africa
@@dunbass7149agreed, not in relevance for this time period to be honest.. but times change and we have to cater to all demographics

Is it because they wanted Sinai?
