Wow, the transition to CK3 was lethal to empires.

Ck3: I had the worst border gore EU4: I had the worst border gore Imperator: No, I had the worst border gore. HOI4 and Vic2: Laughs in Holy Roman America

My fav time in history was that time when the two Persias existed, and the second one collapsed and became Bulgaria for a few years.

CK3 when you give it an Imperitor save file: "AND I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!"

CK3 is pure entropy as always

"Mom, can we have Russia?" "No, we have Russia at home" Russia at home: Wasas

There are a lot of channels doing Paradox timelapses, but at the risk of stating the obvious, your channel stands out because you actually put effort in with making things look nice and interesting. You've earned a loyal sub.

CK3 just breaks in, wrecks up the nice tidy order Imperator worked so hard on and then leaves EU4 to figure out how to clean things up

Vic 3 will be a godsend to all Mega campaign makers

Shoutout to the Bengal Empire for being a major power from half of CKIII all the way to early HOI4

I think that Castille being Carthaginian is actually pretty fitting, considering Carthage was itself a colony of the Phoenicians, only to break free and proceed to colonize much of the western Mediterranean, even sending expeditions as far as the Ivory Coast.

This video confirms that in every alternative universe, the Middle Ages are the ultimate empire killers

I'd say Wasas is the true winner here, they managed to rule for a long time across multiple games

Some day Paradox should really make all of their games inter-linkable to play an actual campaign like this.

Let's give a shout-out to Ming for not exploding and holding on all the way to hoi4

Oh, what is that? Is it Russia? Is it Soviet Union? No, it's WASAS

Wow, that border gore scarred me. Now whenever I close my eyes, all I see are jagged lines.

I would recommend including screenshots of the cultural and religious map modes at the end of each game for additional context, otherwise it's just random blobs of color moving about the map.

Persia: Who the Hell are you!? Persian Empire: I’m you… But better!

me throughout all this video: *low-key rooting for the Baraba Steppe*

EU4 timelapse, but every Ottoman province is replaced by an empty, uncolonized province.

never expected coptics in the steppes, paulicians and bogolomists, and everything becoming Roman/Greek Orthodox

8:06 Two Persias, the Persia that has a coast line broke away from Mesopotamia while the Persian Empire is still landlocked. Go home, Persia, you are drunk!

Gaulish Brazil in a Personal Union with Ghana, that's why I love this game. edit: Not to miss carthaginians in Argentina

When the imperator empires transfer to ck3: Mr. Stark i dont feel so good

I love how in the end , Austria and its allies pretty much own the world

CK3: That's some nice empires you have there, would be a shame if someone exploded them.

Well, we have a game that starts 2200... We'd be missing some context for the quater millenuim between HOI4 and Stellaris I guess, but it's not like we got as much context here either.

IR: Borders make some sense, a bit of gore CK3: *BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD* Jesus it immediately just became disgusting Also show the faction map at the end, Alliance of Austria and Asian Group, but who are in what other factions where

The Bengal Empire's name hiding in the mountains with a little sideways U in the middle of them is lovely.

Its a bit strange that ck3 just instantly desintigrated every imported nation

I was rooting for the Baraba Steppe ever since it appeared. I am pretty happy with the outcome.

I appreciate mega campaigns. Each game has its own mechanics and I love seeing the alt history that comes from that. Gaulish Somalia? Hellenic Brittany? It gives more influence to the forgotten religions, cultures and states.

Amazing! Would love to see more paradox time lapses. Dont be afraid to branch out !

5:50 4 empires. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

If only we could fill the gap between HOI and Stellaris.

You finally did it! Amazing channel

Time lapse idea: might not be very interesting in action, but replace all provinces in Europe with empty uncolonized ones, and just allow the native Americans to do their thing, whether they actually manage to colonize the world or not

finally somebody that gets it right! no time skipping or jumping! thanks so much!!

i really like your music choices for this vid

I know I am late to the party, but man this was such an interesting video, and you have obviously out a lot of effort in making this video. You have earned a sub my friend

6:30 Alexander the Great in 1060 AD.

These developments make no historical sense and I absolutely love it.

And the winner is: the Democratic Greco-Roman Orthodox Austria from the Alliance of Austria.

In the end, nowhere was safe from bordergore, not even Australia

Thank you! I remember asking for this. :)

The beauty of tiny austria spawning from the collapse of the kingdom of kiev, slowly but surely expanding over 1000 years to become the preminent power

Came for the border gore, and I was quite satisfied

glad to see what Drew Durnil did is being picked up again by others

Ah Bulgaria in Iran. Formed from the Persian empire that warred with Persia

8:15 persia and the persian empire are both independent from each other

Bro I know it’s just a side note but the music was really great throughout

Best wishes from Austria! We were pretty strong

That comeback of the Baraba Steppe against Manchukuo gave me Soviet vibes. I thought they were goners, but they never gave in

11:05 for me, as for Russian, this Ireland name looks hilarious. Its like some fairytale kingdom in Russian folklore

I liked seeing the russian empire being released by wasas as a landlocked state in moscow

Crusader kings, so lovely border gore...

while every empire of the Imperator Rome fell in Ck3, Carthage said "i might stay for a little more" and then immediately collapse too

A masterpiece

and now, must define a civilisation type to with the final map to start a Stellaris Game

Mega campaigns have to be my favorite kind of timelapses. I'd love to see more similar stuff in the future

This is not a criticism of this video in particular but one thing that always disappoints me about these historical mega-campaigns is the tendency for things to revert to standard names and situations of our timeline. The example that is most glaring to me here is Louisiana, since the territory was named after a particular French king and it seems odd that it turns up in a timeline where Carthage survived into the Middle Ages and a million other things are different from our history. On the other hand, going too far in the other direction would create a result so alien and out of context it would be little different from a random map. I don't really have a good solution for this, except some vague ideas about curating every jump between games and making edits when things look too familiar, but the process would be laborious and the result would be a matter of the taste and decisions of the person making it. Which, unless an awesome new gaming computer manifests itself in my room and starts making demands, is not going to be me.

I was wondering why Europe didn't eat itself in HOI4, all the great powers just joined Austria lol Also I love that Nepal held most of the territory around Nepal but not Nepal itself

CK3 is like you spilled every color of paint onto the floor and rolled around in it

Those empires shattered like stain glass windows

I still have no idea how it became catholic XD

This is great! Only one suggestion: can you put timestamps or chapters in the video where the game switches?

You forgot stellaris id love seeing this world either grow into an galaxy wide empire or just end up eaten or blown up by angry space turtles

Lov me Missis, Lov me hellenic Lov me empires 'ate collapsin' 'ate Bengal empire, not raycis, just dun like em. Simple as.

i kinda wanted the UK and Austria and maybe Greece to fight but frankly the dogpile on Manchukuo at the end was worth the wait

There is more than 500 years between the end of the IR and start of the CK3. It is a shame not to see these years.

Why is there a pocket of Belgian culture in South Sudan? Just why?

i IMPLORE for all the music sauce 🛐

Europe: * cosplays HRE but without Caiser * Iceland: chilling

IR: those are some sexy Cartage, Rome, Macedon and Seleukid you got there. CK3: begone! Deus Vult!

Is it possible for you to upload that hoi4 save to the workshop as a map to play? Very cool!

Shout-out to Al-Wahat, which forms in 1131 (9:08) and still exists by the end of the game.

Could you make a guide to make the mods of the mega campaign?

If you look the seleukid/ Persian empire was the longest surviving empire having a collapse that almost took 1000 years!

Can you put chapters in this video please?

Seleucids held on for so long, rip the name change in ck

Can't believe 3 major empires broke immediately after IR

No one: EUIV: "Carthaginian Australia it is!"

you should show more info on vic 2 end. at least great powers screen, maybe pops of great powers.

How do you recover the world from a game to the next one ? It seems so impresive !

Wasas wins, has the biggest font at the end. I should play as them some time. :)

Catholic Ghana having personal union over Brazil is new level of cursed

wait a minute, that roman empire basically HRE

Some of the music sounds really creepy on 2x speed.

Interesting and actually entertaining video, but I'd kill for even elevator music rn

it WASAS good as I remember it.

Austria:I see thisbas an absolute win!

Samoyed culture migrating to Medina is pretty great

All that was needed was a stellaris timelapse

ICELAND minding they own volcanos, since CK3

Next mega campaign, if there’s a clear winner, put them as the human nation in stellaris!

Countries in north west Africa form a face during the HOI4 time lapse. Once seen. You cannot unsee

Nice to see that the noble Marcus Vinctictus won a great victory over the cretins at Sparta.... excuse me, the Spartans at Crete!

We need something in between hoi4 and stellaris

I'm just surprised how Wasas showed a character and didn't form Russia.
