Thank you so much. Also, I can never find Yeshua in game.
no
He has fallen to raid
@@naturalwizard2226 Prepare your peasantry, we are going to an crusade, to reconquer our faithful youtuber!
Great vid as always mate
Playing as a macedonian count of hellenic faith, conquer alexander the great's holdings and actually hold them
In 20 years
@@bigmoniespongeI mean if Alex the great didn’t die he’d be able to conquer them in 20 years and hold them
Maybe if you started off as a Duke/petty king it’s more probabl
@@bigmoniesponge the thing is he conquered it when he was in late 30s. If you ignore childhood deaths a somewhat long lived individual could live until high 50s and that would give time to have a succession plan
@@Speedster___ yeah but this is a video game LMAO
Nestorianism is an interesting religion, and is an underrated heresy.
He didn't play as it in the end though
@@geoDB. hello "that guy" would you like some water with your white bread?
@@zaikolebolsh5724 I wish I had the temperance for that, perhaps I will try something like it in the future
@@geoDB. quite devilish
@@zaikolebolsh5724 rather god-like
Alazbo there's no way you actually played Yeshua and did this. You are truly the king of Paradox games.
He's Back!
Idea for the Future: Restore Ancient Egypt by converting the kingdom to the Historical Kushite Religion, and empower the pharoah once again! You could do this by converting the nation starting as Egypt, or retaking the land of your ancestors as one of the many Kushite Nations of the South Sahara.
This is easier to do if you begin as makuria, form Nubia and then convert to Kushite
Why not just download one of the many Kemeticism mods for that?
@@hypnode3270 yah but if youre doing it from the south, youre not doing it. Sub Saharans werent ancient egyptian, and the pyramids arent dung huts. He could choose a greek, or at the very least a berber/arab
@@generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895 your ignorance is astounding, the people south of Egypt had actually conquered the kingdom for a while, building their own pyramids and all.
@@generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895 bro what 💀makuria is the remnant of Egypt that wasn’t conquered by the Arabs
"Heresy claimed the Queen's clothing..."
Skeptic: "That doesn't seem realisti-"
Everyone else: "We'll take it!"
"Its always Heresy this, Heresy that"
I love your wacky content. Some time ago I tried a "Greko-Indian" survivor state run to restore Zeus to the Indus and return west for a new round of hellenism. Gave up before getting a duchy. So you have my respect :D
Cool idea though
I hope we can edit god name, just to restore real OG proto Indo-European religion. Making Zeus, Odin, Dayaus, Jupiter Dyēus again.
That would be a cool run for when the new culture update comes out
There was actually an Ancient Greek kingdom in Eastern Persia / Afghanistan, the Kingdom of Bactria. If you wanted to restart the challenge, I would start in that place’s historical region since it was the easternmost extent of Hellenism.
@@machinegum8496 there were quite a lot of them actually, and
Siberia is one of the last places in the world I'd expect there to be nudist colonies.
This challenge was quite difficult! What videos would you like to see in the future? The horse only challenge for CK2 is almost here, thanks for watching!
Wait, you will finish horse challenge? :O
You should play as a vassal of the pope and get the papacy to restore the roman empire
@@splayairplane3418 Would be cool but Theocratic Government sadly can't restore the Roman Empire
Lombard reconquest?
become the saoshyant starting in western africa
22:35 Let me guess:
There's a foe of a thousand swords.
They've been abandoned by their lords.
Their fall from grace will pave their path to damnation?
My thoughts exactly
yea.. and then the 189
In the service of heaven
They're protecting the holy line
It was 1527
Gave their lives on the steps to heaven
THY WILL BE DONE!
@Mike12Gaming for the home of the holy!
@Mike12Gaming gave their lives so boldly!
IN THE NAME OF GOD!
An interesting idea would be to revive the karling dynasty in 1066(make them hold the hre again),as the last karling to hold land in 1066 is a small count in france,without much power.
In 867 there's a Frankish count of burgundy. Play him, restore the Frankish empire and convert it to Frankish culture. I got bored after making burgundy lotharingia because 867 is trash imo
It's funny because with the 867 start, Karlings are everywhere and never seem to disappear from the game
@@plp5953 which is why it's so interesting that in real life they just got absolutely folded
KILL THE KARLINGS!
As an Assyrian this makes me smile, Yeshua means Jesus in our language of Aramaic by the way, so you could say in this timeline he is somewhat of a prophet ;))
That is definitely some satisfying irony lol
Question: By Assyrian do you mean from a country that was inside Assyria or is it something different?
@@vrabb9030 Assyrian as in he is ethnically assyrian and speaks aramaic. It's still an ethnicity. It's kind of like kurdish (not culturally, just the situation)
but smaller.
@@vrabb9030 Assyrians are a Semetic ethnic group native to present day north iraq, north eastern syria, southern turkey and the urmia area in iran.
Most Assyrians live in diaspora due to persecution, Assyrians are christian, mostly chaldean catholic, nestorian and syriac orthodox so we aren’t very well liked by our neighbours
@@ice_sea5527 sorta right although I woudln’t compare ourselves to kurds, we’re more like the jews of palestine prior to the 1930s, very silent and few in number, often not very liked by our neighbours but hanging on
"But In the heart of holy see.
In the home of Christianity. The seat of papal power was in danger".... did I just hear a Sabaton reference? :)
10/10 music joke would smirk again :)
I know this is 8 months late as a reply but I was singing along as soon as I got it🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m an Assyrian and I liked this video
"Raja Ladahachandra of the Ladahachandrid Raj" - 10/10 for that name 😍
While i am sad to see Tengrists getting crushed, i have no words for how you keep doing this. Rhyming, crushing enemies like a boss and completing the most difficult challenges! You truly are a king!
agreed
The run was amazing but what really made it epic was the names you gave to your titles and characters. It felt so real and powerful! I try imagine the muslim realms thinking "assyrians are over" and then they hear that the assyrian exiles gathered into the steppe and formed a powerhouse ready to reconquer their homeland! I can hear the voice of these exiled as they run into the battle shouting "For our Land, and our Patriarch!" ❤️
22:35
FOR THE GRACE, FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD
FOR THE HOME OF THE HOLY
FOR THE FAITH, FOR THE WAY OF THE SWORD
GAVE THEIR LIVES SO BOLDLY
That may have just been the most over the top act of revenge I've ever seen in ck3. Top notch. Love it.
Hey Alzabo just wanted to let you know that I love your videos and please never stop making them. But I do have a suggestion that might be fun: Remake the Babylonian Empire in CK3!
Great suggestion, thanks Tom!
Awesome video, I love how you give your videos your own twist and narrate them in a unique and funny way.
Big props, keep up the good work!
This looks like an amazing campaign to continue into a mega campaign
22:36 Fucking nice one
You don’t understand how excited I was to see you uploaded again. Love your videos
15:25 LMAO dude's name was so funny it made you laugh and as a result me laugh 😂😂😂.
Was not expecting that Sabaton reference at the end. Instant subscribe!
"Giga-Pisa isn't real, it can't hurt you"
Giga-Pisa: 21:04
Please do more of these kinds of campaigns! I love alternative histories brought to life!
Alzabo, these challenge series are awesome. Everyone else just role plays but this is alternative history type. I love it. I’m going to subscribe and hope to see more of this content!!!
Man, this was WILD, I can only imagine how crazy it could have been with the hybrid culture thing that is coming up.
Holy hell, from the middle of a literal wasteland to absolute glory, what a chad.
I got to admit this inspired me to try something similar. Playing as a Greek Hellenic ruler that got banished to Scandinavia and is trying to fight his way back home and maybe combining the Hellenic faith with the Asatru.
That's a very Roman strategy; combining your native faith with the faith of your colonies to make them easier to rule.
Every episode is amazing , love this stuff man
22:35 Ah i see you are a man of refined musical taste
Are you telling me the thoughts and prayers didn't cure Yeshua's cancer?? Paradox really need to fix these unrealistic mechanics!
Love this channel & the voice is so calming
I'm this close to watching your videos at half speed just so I can enjoy them longer. Keep up with the good work man
Also, can you do a video walkthrough on best formable tags in ck3
^^^
Yo this is straight up the coolest paradox game content on yt, I always wonder what you’ll come up with next
I love your ck3 videos, I wish you released a few more of these kind!
AlliterationHD amirite? Yes. This is a super cool idea for an episode! Anyway, awesome content as always, Alzabo.
I’d say a good video would be to restore Druidism across Europe as Ireland
Simply amazing. A story told to perfection
14:08
“This man of steel”
“King’s name is Yousef”
I see watcha did there. Honestly, the wordplay you put into these videos is something else. Props!
7:30 I’m sorry…Who the hell creates a nudist colony in SIBERIA!?!?
I love how you make these videos!! Even though it'd be so stupid and unrealistic from any other TH-camr with some shitty cliche slapstick jokes every now and then you put effort in making it feel like a truely epic story!! Hats off!!
Love these, can't wait to see more.
This was super fun to watch. I love shorter roleplay videos for CK3.
Stumbled across these videos from the algorithm and can safely said, top tier content and makes me wanna get CK3
every Alzobo vids sounds like it should be it's own movie
@@AlzaboHD idk why, but if possible, i would love to see if a Mongol Khan could become Pope
I really wish you uploaded more often, I love your content!
Awesome video. Also I hope I'm not the only one that recognised the sabaton reference at 22:35
One can say that you brought the Assyrian culture in from the cold 🥶
Love your challange videos always fresh and cool
That was the smoothest Sabaton reference I've ever heard :D
Powerwolf reference was pretty hilarious
I don’t even play these games 😂 I just enjoy historical content and your voice is like ASMR
Your alliteration game is on point, mad respect
20:35 LOVE the sabaton Reference.
This was a really great video!
Great story line! Love your videos! Do a Sardinia
I love the stories of your videos man
never thought i'd see an Assyrian hyperborea
Love types of videos like this!!
As Hæsteinn, conquer a random land and convert to a crazy religion for that land (Zoroastrian Finland, Hindu Iberia, Iconoclast Ghana, etc.)
Ngl, it’s kinda sad Alzabo didn’t play until Stephen died so we could see the 2 Empires unite
loved the sabaton reference at the end
I don't even play this game, or anything like it, but this is beyond relaxing haha
I've been waiting for your arrival.
15:24 you can barely hear Alzabo cracking up at the end of that tongue twister lol
Yikes, sweaty, that's actually the *Neo Neo-Assyrian empire for you. Smh.
genius, Niccolo Machiavelli would be proud of you ^^
Hello, I think your content is awesome and funny and as a fan for a while and seen the previous video I must ask, When is that ck2 horse challenge part 2 coming out?
Your videos feel like documentaries
I LOVE this! Great content
That was a nice Sabaton reference you did there..
The narration is good!
10/10 22:35 has a Sabaton Reference
Finally a new playthrough🙌🏾
Hey, my main Paradox Grand Strategy is Imperator: Rome (Yes, I know).
My main problem is that it's practically impossible to fight Rome, Carthage, Maurya, or the Successor nations without being one of them first, with the exceptions of Armenia and Albion. Could you document your attempts to fight them, and an example of success against them?
I'd love if you could conquer the world as one of the non-recommended nations, but that might be too much to ask!
I presume it would be pretty easy if you let yourself get vassalised, but Paradox has not implemented playing as a vassal/autonomous region in much depth, so who knows.
This channel is what my life was missing.
I love the Refrence to “A Cask of Amantellado” by Edgar Allen Poe.
I never realized how similar the music from CK3's Northern Lords DLC is to the main theme from the film Fargo (1996) until now when I heard it playing in the background in this video. lol it's like... *suspiciously* close, thematically
I have a challenge suggestion that should be both fun and challenging: Recreate the Ottoman conquests in CK3
Historically, the Ottomans were a turkic tribe that migrated from the asiatic steppe, and settled in anatolia in the 11th century, who managed to defeat both the Byzantine empire as well as the Seljuqid
You will need to start as the turkic tribe of the "Kayi", move into anatolia, then carve out your realm from both the byzantines and Seljuq dynasty, as they did in our timeline. In CK3, the Byzantines start out as extremely strong, and if you have ever watched an AI only timelapse, you will know that they generally survive and even become stronger by the end of the game, while in reality, they were conquered by the Bulgars and Ottomans during the time span of the game.
For an extra challenge, you can try to recrete the Ottoman empire at it's greatest extent before the end of the game, thus outdoing the real life Ottomans. You must remain Sunni as a religion, for historical accuracy, and you should try to convert as much of the Ottoman realm to both your turkic culture and Sunny faith as a secondary objective
This challenge should be challenging enough as you will need to start as what is essentially an OPM, and then conquer most or all of the land of the two strongest empires at the start of the game, while forcing your ways on a huge population, instead of having your ruling dynasty take on the local culture
Will you take on the challenge? If they managed it in real life, how difficult could it really be in CK3... right?
Also: for that challenge, you wouldn't be allowed to just cheese the byzantine conquest, either by getting an heir with a claim on the entire realm, or by letting them vassalize you for a "Meritocracy" CB, you have to keep your relations with all non-muslim realms completely hostile, this means no intermarriage, no letting them vassalize you or anything of the sort, if you want to make your realm out of the corpse of the Byzantines, you will have to carve it out yourself
MONGOL NESTORIAN
That unintended historical accuracy is *chef’s kiss
sick video love em keep it up
Hey Alzabo loving the videos - I thought of a challenge that i tried but was too hard, but your expertise could figure it out - try and take the westernmost county in ck3 to the easternmost, hopefully with the most disgusting borders - idk might be impossible but my be fun
Really a great video
I love that alliteration.
Gotta admit, those Sabaton lyrics at 22:35 caught me off-guard xD
I like how unlike other Paradox games, in CK3 you can do the craziest shit from the most challenging starts and all you need is enough time. Nice one 👍
Ohh i wanted to do a Challenge with an unlanded character since i Saw your video, but now i'm Even more exited! And for ideas, since in eu4 is a meme, You could try to form Israel while starting in semien (ethiopia) which is a great place to play on ck3
Edit: be converting or starting jewish, of course
Video idea: Western Tang Empire
Play as the Guiyi Circuit and do a journey to the west style odyssey to make contact with Rome like how the Han empire wanted to do 1000 years ago but be disappointed to find out that Rome was crushed a long time ago and then recreate the Roman Empire
Love the ck3 content
This sort of role playing is gonna make me buy this game finally
Nice RP run. Would love to see if you could manage to restore some sort of Greek pagan Amazonian matriarchy.
I just realised that Alzaboh is taking the p^ss out of the Caspian Report when he says 'the strong do what they can, the weak do what they must' in that voice while flying over the earth
Definitely unintentional! But I'm a huge fan of Caspian! Cheers
props to that pronunciation at 15:27 xd
My GOD Stefan, you mad lad.
Interesting playthrough, really enjoyed it!
Points to consider:
1. The Neo-Assyrian Empire was a real empire, so it would have made more sense to name the empire just the Assyrian Empire, or if you like then the Third Assyrian Empire.
2. For extra credit you could have tried to refound the ancient worship of Ashur. However I don't know how easy or difficult it is to create a completely new from scratch (as I'm assuming it's completely extinct by the start date)
