I wish they would change the restoration of the roman empire for Byzantium, so that if you were Byzantium and your capital was in Constantinople, that you could choose to keep it in Constantinople. Since that was the capital of the roman empire for centuries.
Hey, have you also noticed some vassals will bankrupt regularly if you enable transfer trade? I finally got Byzantium loyal after reconquering some ottoman clay. He was regularly running a deficit, maintaining forts, and buying down corruption, while losing 15 ducats a month. Turns out the deficit is cancelled out when i stop diverting trade. :S did they bug out the AI again?
Right, but before the ai would spend less on army, advisors, or forts. I'm saying it looks like the ai incorrectly factor trade income into their budget, knowing full well I am diverting trade
Great Campaign. But I have to say, every time I see you create a behemoth like this i wonder if it would be possible to now load into another nation (Zoroastrian persia formed by transox or fars as the historical enemy of eastern rome for example) and take down the monster you created.
Pronoairs seem to have higher ages because they start of really old so there is 40+ years where they could have died but didn't since they spawned from thin air meaning their age seems lot higher than your normal rulers
No need for Religious when you have perma claims on all needed provinces. Also I had so many missionaries and bonuses that I had pretty much all non-TC provinces converted by the end :p
I don't know why, but pronoias' rulers have a true ability to live as many years as it could make you sick of him (why they always live for 70-80 years?)
@@michaelhaderach277 man, I don't have time for this shit. I had 10 pronoias in my compaign, and they were all living more than 70 years, while my rulers couldn't live for 40 years sometimes..
@@GoldFar228chill, same, worst was when i conquered half of anatolia some provibces in way to damascus, and some to georgia didnt had a mana so used this new mechanic, and ruler died when i didnt noticed liberity desire was 53%.. needed to wait another 30 years
Byz is too OP now 😂. I formed Rome a hundred years later than this but with 5k ducat income, PU on giga Russia and 1.5 million troops. Pronoiars are especially OP I got half of France and Spain for free thanks to them. I think it's getting nerfed eventually.
@@AlecsyAlek I mean, it's a mistake to look at it as a number, but rather impact on a country. And the impact was zero. Big stability + tolerance of true faith + just 16 months to core everything. Never had issues with rebels so how would it be called nation ruining? When people do a pre-1500 WC and with simple strategy they can get 5k OE without fighting a single rebel, is it also nation ruining? :p
@@Spartacus.D if you stack the right amount of ccc you can core in less than 10 months. Rebels progress max 10% a month, so if you core in less than 10 months then nothing happens. I showed that in my Ottomans series a few months back :)

bro formed roman empire faster than i could form italy 😭
F
Common Zlewikk W
'Completely stable!' with 300% OE, all of Europe at 100 AE, and loading disasters.
Jokes aside, that's an insane run, great video Zlewikk

my precious TCs...
8:40 - That slow zoom to the Malta Fort part... I'm guessing an error in how fast the zoom in goes, but still made it seem SO SINISTER.
lmao, that is just perfect xD
Zlewikk: Let's release Leon for reconquesting of cores
also Zlewikk: takes all their cores for himself in the next war
Yes, because I was in another war I couldnt give these cores and by the time I could they were already cored.
Impressive, as always. Cheers Zlewikk! ♥
It's the most clear campaign I've ever watched after the release of the DLC. congratz!
Thank you sir!

well, that's natural that for some nations taking their whole trade power will kill their budget :p
I mean make sense byz's strong point historically was their control of trade (until they gutted it by giving out privileges to the venetians/genoese)
Right, but before the ai would spend less on army, advisors, or forts. I'm saying it looks like the ai incorrectly factor trade income into their budget, knowing full well I am diverting trade
Waiting for Eranshah, Mameluks and Armenia companies.
p.s this dls is by far is the best for me overall, although after 1.30 everything is good.
Watching that call to action part, noticed you have 994 videos. Almost to 1000!
We are beyond 1k actually, there is a recent Smolensk video celebrating that :)
Awesome! That's a pretty amazing achievement.
Great Campaign. But I have to say, every time I see you create a behemoth like this i wonder if it would be possible to now load into another nation (Zoroastrian persia formed by transox or fars as the historical enemy of eastern rome for example) and take down the monster you created.
AI would collapse easly
Don’t forget the hidden modifier of a Spy Network is even less AE based on its size.
Only on a country you build it on so imo only useful on specific cases, otherwise it's too much micro for little gain
@@ZlewikkTV totally fair. I normally go Espionage early, so I focus on it throughout the game until I’ve got that massive snowball.
Damn, I got to that point 100 years later. A monster run for sure.
And my proudest achievement in 4k hours is forming Andalusia...
I've been looking forward to this episode, thanks Zlewikk! ❤❤❤❤❤
Pronoairs seem to have higher ages because they start of really old so there is 40+ years where they could have died but didn't since they spawned from thin air meaning their age seems lot higher than your normal rulers
Not always, Gascony/Labourd started as 29yo
11:41 Zlewikk had to chose to 2nd option to not get cancelled by butthurt Islamists xd
How are you so good at this lol just today I was able to actually beat the ottomans lol ( love this series)
Still feels like a crime not to pick religious over espionage but I understand, it’s a form Roman Empire run not WC one faith orthodox romaboo run

u are making me shit bricks with the slow zoom
I don't know why, but pronoias' rulers have a true ability to live as many years as it could make you sick of him (why they always live for 70-80 years?)
Rly? We need more statistics . U can take 100 pronoias and compare with 100 default rulers.

Moving your capital to Yerevan was heretical
Blessed
@Zlewikk TV did you noticed that if you had a level 3 trade center in Constantinople, Macedonia on that mission will be level 3 also?
yes, waste of money for a node I fully controlled
Got a french union, so i need to integrate it to form SPQR :/
So 1590 is my score, could be around the same :////
You can break it and dw instead
I think I found a "mistake". The pretender HRE still exist.
It's not Roman so nobody cares
I formed Roman empire in 1798 from Polish lithuanian commonwelth. Now i can't get acoustomed to that color and need to get rid of the senate
poor Leon, he was forgotten :
Me: LOSING 15 YEARS WAR WITH OTTOMAN AS MAMLUKS
Zlewik: Top 1 great power az Byzantium in 20 years
Great video! However, it hurt my soul to see you move your capital to Persia.
Justinian would be spinning in his grave so quickly they'd discover electricity.
10:12 Tax Meta mentioned
nice

👏 Bravo!
this is crazy good as byzantium
thanks!
np@@ZlewikkTV
amazing
Hello from Rusisia? Great video and campaing
Rome goes vroom vroom
Mr Zlewiik, when we will see you form Malta as Tunis and make Italy Maltese culture?
Byzantium best!
Neat, 39 seconds. I think that's a first.
Coo'beans.
Does the three mountan challenge include not only not going horde, but not getting BORED as well?
Of course
does its possible to form rome as prome? if yes would you make an attempt ? cool video btw but i still miss the mps...
You just need to be Christian/Pagan and own Rome to have the decision available
ZLEWIKK BEST
Will your non-horde 3 Mountain run now feature forming Byz? 😂
We will see :v
I think Three Mountains requires remaining as Ryukyu without forming other nations
@@lyonard9226 actually wrong, you can form other nation, just then it has to be a true one tag
@@lyonard9226, then the promise not to go horde would be meaningless?
@@Mordacitas7 changing government type isn't the same as changing tag
This slow zoomins kinda cool ngl
a cool missclick, right? xD
@@ZlewikkTV yea, silly but cool :D
23:16 🤣
"no nation-ruining" he says
of course, not a single TB, massive loans, behind in techs or a coalition left behind
@@ZlewikkTV Just a tiny bit of overextension for like half the campaign 😅
But then again, I guess that's just another Tuesday for Rome...

Great Rome With great capital in Yerevan. You make armenia great again
nice
Sup
11:30 again zlewick need another no muslim meme video . As roleplay if you convert rome you should also unite all the monotheist religion
