Hey man, Huge fan of your CK3 videos. If you’re ever in need of video ideas, I think providing historical context for potential campaigns would be a really cool series idea. I feel you’ve killed it with the tutorial and guide videos already, so providing historical campaign ideas would be really cool for those of us who aren’t huge history buffs. Loved the little history lesson you gave at the start of this stream. You’ve taught us all how to play the game, now teach us some history so we can try and recreate it in game!
thank you so much for such a nice comment man! so if i say... did the Duke of Apulia, Robert Guiscard, would you want to watch a 20-30 minute video talking about the history behind the character or a video talking about how to play/start the campaign?! :)
@@italianspartacus I think a combination of both of those two things would be really cool. Give us a bit of the historical knowledge, then show us how we could potentially follow that same campaign in game. I think it could make for a really cool series!
Rurik is a semi-legendary character, we know about him only from one source called "Primary Chronicle" that is writen in 1100. 300 years after his lifetime. No other source prove his existence, so thats that...
Dude. This was sweet. Pacing wasn't my ideal and slow at times but I love the thoughtfulness and deliberation. The direction was well balanced with strategy. Finally a ck3 content provider I can subscribe to
Oh brother thank you so much! The more recent stuff is a bit faster, but when I was first doing this, my angle was trying to educate about the game while getting people involved in the content, so I can understand how it can be grating to watch after the fact P. S. Thrice is one of my absolute favorite bands. Artist in the ambulance got me through some tough times
@@italianspartacus It's all good, I'm really digging the history actually. It's more just like interacting with twitch chat but honestly as I watch more it's all good because it displays your personality
I like the derivation of Rus for Children of Ash and Elm. He argues that it originally comes from Ruslag, a region of Sweden which refers to Rowers. He argues that Rus was initally the name for river raiders originating near Lake Ladoga. Northern raiders were broadly employed as both raiders and security for traders. Eventually Rus came to mean people who controlled the rivers and was a combination of Norse fortune seekers and local Slav fighters. This then progressed to a combined ethnicity
"Holmgard" means "Island Town" in old norse. It originally only was just the island off the coast of present day Veliky Novgorod where norse people built a fort as their base of operations.
Coincidence: last night I started an Arpad campaign and took kiev before migrating. I installed an old guy, and my son stayed his heir. He promptly died and I inherited kiev all the way from hungary.
Im currently playing a game as the oskyldr dynasty and i subjugated khazaria, took over egypt, remade the kabarite high priesthood, and for a little while held jerusalem.
"Ascold creates Kyiv", that's some nonsense. Kyiv was founded by Kyi, that's where city name comes from: Kyi-iv - Kyi is name of the founder and ending "iv" is modifying this noun, so "Kyiv" means "City of Kyi" or "City, that belongs to Kyi"
0:55:00 1) also consider a spouse with the same congenital traits as you. That guaranties that you get the trait on the child. And I think (if I am wrong, "reinforce" already means the above) there is a a chance to "reinforce" congenital traits, making them inherited to your future lineage instead. 2) you see that giant is considered a bad trait, because it has that red icon.
If I'm correct "reinforcing" means having a chance of upgrading it to the next stronger version of the same trait, so for example if you are quick and so is your wife, all your children are guaranteed to be quick, but they may become intelligent instead if you are lucky
Holmgargr The eth symbol (D with a line) is pronounced as a g when followed by an r. Otherwise its pronounced as eth. The weird lookin p is basically the eth symbol, but at the beginning of words rather than in the middle. That particular one is known as the Thorn symbol. I dont believe it follows the R rule.
The TV show Vikings isn't exactly historical though. While they have a lot of historical names of their characters, the show is 100% fantasy inspired loosely on history.
A couple of other uses of marrying of your courtiers... knights die often, so make sure you marry them off, so their widows can bring in new knights. Marrying courtiers is also great for getting physicians. Search for physicians who aren't married and marry them to your courtiers (usual problems with religion etc). This way you aren't paying for bringing new people into your court :)
Thoroughly enjoying the opening moves for this Ruler, I followed some of your suggestions and found some of my own lucky opportunities. I spent my first 100 piety and divorced Sif to marry a herculean norse bride, raided into byzantium and took a beautiful concubine off a Baron. However I noticed you have a realm size of 6 and I have yet to break out of 5 holdings. I have the full Duchy and my spouse is aiding in stewardship. Did I just roll low or did you change your tribal law? I just dont like giving away all my holdings to vassals right away. Great videos I think your style is great, your tutorial advice helped me immensely when I played as Dublin.
i did this campaign myself. but i created a new character with the same stats - not married - no childeren. in this way you can start the game and search for a suitable wife from the start. 1 downside, you start the game with waaaay less gold.
1:24:00 before the game is unpaused. Seems like maybe things could be trimmed a bit. The history lesson is great but the interaction with your stream grinds things to a hault.
sorry man, this is a live stream, and i cannot edit pretty much any of it. part of the fun of the live stream is interacting with people because they are the driving force behind the game. as i mention in the video, i don't typically unpause for the first hour or so of my campaigns while i'm setting things up. i don't play at break neck speeds because i'm conversing with people. it's not as fun to see all gameplay and no engagement, but there are plenty of other lets plays out there that do just that! :D
Only that they weren't vikings and did not follow the norse culture but the slavic one. Techincly, by the time the game starts, the Kievan Rus should already exist
Awesome video. FWIW, I'm pretty sure the Rurikid line goes through to the Romanovs. In the end of the 1590s, after Ivan IV (the Terrible) forms Russia, the main Rurikid line dies out. From there, the Boyars, the nobles, elect a distant Rurikid cousin, Michael/Mikael I to lead, and while he's not as close to the main ruling Rurikid line, he was part of the family. From there, I'm pretty sure Michael went on to the progenitor of the Romanov line through till 1917. Here's the family tree from Rurik to Nicholas II for those interested: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_tree_of_Russian_monarchs
Muscovy created Russian Empire, they did everything to separate themselves from Rus' even late Muscovy rulers didn't even sit in Kiev after defeating Kievan armies to show that center "moves" to Moscow i guess the best and kinda simple way of showing Rus' history thats Kings and Generals documental, where actually they see and connect obvious contact between Rus' and Ruthenia, also Galicia Volhynia which are completely missed for some reason by most of western people, i guess they don't even know that people from West Ukraine called Ruthenians (and it is nothing to have with russia in future) even in times of Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania russia it is just taken and changed name of Rus' on Greek manner and was only in titles of Kings like Ivan The Terrible, just as all other titles as political tool to show claims to territories.
I had my play through and this was my strongest and best vassal and me being me made a stupid mistake ( didn't know yet) and got him killed in battle as I used him as my commander
i am not 100% sure but i think your starting wife might have genius or intelligent inactive genetic trait passing down i often see this guy having many genius kids more then he sould have anyway in my games.
I really like your videos. But i dont like your playthroughs much because they are long and filled with interaction with people chatting with you, but without you quoting what they say. That means that the transmission is filled with "holes", silence, your comments to things we who dont look at the stream cant see. If i can give you an advise it is to fill those holes. Quote what people write to you. read it loud while you are reading them. Put them in context. What you say is interesting. But every step in the game that takes 1 minute to do and explain takes 4-5 minutes to watch due to all "dead" time.

Thank you for watching brother :)
Nice Beard Brother. Also you helped me step up my CK 3 game Big time! Keep it up.
Thank you battle brother! Appreciate you watching :D
By far man, best content on CK3. I love hearing the history with your viseos
Thank you so much my dude!
Just recently found CK3. Love your Mount n Blade videos. Thanks for all you do
My pleasure brother thanks for watching :)

I know this was a year ago but holy suit bro it took you a hr and half to start playing the game
Miss your 40k lore videos. They’re my favourite out of any TH-camr
Damn I miss the steam, oh well maybe hopefully next time, also I hope that you have/had a glorious and safe day to you as always ItalianSpartacus.

Also, he comes with Norse culture which gets the longboat benefits and one of the most unlocked tribal innovations, plus Scandinavia succession law.
@@renyaoqin 0yyzyuoouou
like your historical approach to playing this game, your kingdom name is swedish and means like kings-city, könug means king kungen ;)
Yeah the founder of the Rurikid dynasty I believe was from Rus, but grew up in Sweden so he brought Swedish and Nordic culture to the region.
ohhh thank you so much dude! :D

i was thinking of Jack Napier since the spelling reminds me of it, but I didn't want to go into a tangent about the joker ;)
i think you're going to have alot of fun with kiev
me too! :D
Love the videos, great history lessons, and the religion is pronounced AH-saw-true, got the game because of your vidoes.
yes pls tell him
Are they Vikings?

The using your women to get good councillors is great. Its great when your beginning advisors are terrible.
How do you do this? Make the wife manage domains?

So many wrong statements in the "history" part of the video... Strange, I thought wikipedia is available everywhere
As soon as you replaced your court physician, your wound got fixed. Your physician was probably terrible
I’d have enjoyed history class so much more if it was taught like this actually.
Less common do Strathclyde
Dropping a comment for the algorithm, I do enjoy the history lessons though👍
Event heraldry is similar with Ukrainian Trident and currency "Hryvnia"(grivna) was already in 11-12 century Rus'
i did this campaign myself.
but i created a new character with the same stats - not married - no childeren.
in this way you can start the game and search for a suitable wife from the start.
1 downside, you start the game with waaaay less gold.
What’s your Twitter? You mentioned it but I can’t find you.
@ItalianSpart !! :D
Catherine winnick is Ukrainian FYI I believe her ancestors were from Kyiv
she's my future wife and you are invited to the wedding

Is bishop heygmond from the vikings series on this game? He has bad ass
I from Kiev. From true Kievan Rus-Ukrainan. Not from fake Rus-Russia
So what
Do you have the Holmgard campaign?

A 300 kg deadlift 🥴 I hurt my back at 300 lbs. I can’t even imagine kilos.
Hahaha my back doesn't feel too awesome after!
Only that they weren't vikings and did not follow the norse culture but the slavic one. Techincly, by the time the game starts, the Kievan Rus should already exist
Holmgardr does indeed sound scandinavian.
That is so strange that some people call history of Rus' as solely history of Russia
I find it odd that as I play with this exact character it has this show up on my feed
I need to do this campaign ;)
120 kilos is pretty good my dude

So isn't Romanov just a cadet branch of the Rurikids? Like the Bourbons were for the Capets?
You're tribal so you can go to war against any neighbour... so why bother with de jure? I don't get it.
Only your de jure vassals give you full tax and levy contribution
