Imagine living a really long time and then leaving the throne to an heir in his seventies. I cannot imagine that happening today.

Started with praising the sun and now he’s achieving immortality, he really has come a long way

Literally waiting 129 years to make that Imperium of Mann joke

Bro I still can't get over the start I just imagine a medieval prince talking about how his great great great grandpa still has no signs of dying

My best was a 124 year old High King of the North Sea. Nice to see that wasn’t the limit.

That was quite an experience for you, for sure! Imagine that man but also with all the good genetic traits instead of bad ones though...

Queen Elizabeth dies one day after this video on an immortal ruler is released? Seems suspicious…

If you have both cannibalism and human sacrifice, does eating captives count as ritual sacrifice?

I’m really new to CK3 so when my character made it to 111 years old and outlived 3 spouses, 11 kids and several grandkids I thought I had just broken the game 💀

Just returned from PDXcon and back with more EU4 content this week! PS: If you read this Ewan, sorry I didn't get to meet you at the convention!

That editing gag with Prince Charles aged like the guy who drank from the wrong grail in Last Crusade. Took one day.

I started playing CK3 very casually and suck at it. Seeing someone essentially min max living as long as possible while becoming A Pirate Witch King and Son of Satan was very entertaining. I genuinely didn't know how insanely deep this game could get

Can still access the video through the challenges playlist! Amazing videos per usual big man!

ahhh, the good ol ck2 days, just eat kids and wait for the immortality event chain to kick off

I managed 113 years with my latest, mid-run ruler. He did not have the Temperate trait, but he had two books that gave medium boosts to health, the Octegenarians Dynastic Legacy, Strong of Body (and spent the last 15 years of his life in the medicine focus). The one thing he did not get, late in his life that would have probably given him another 10-15 years was a pet cat. He had a pet dog, but at its absolute best, that gives a moderate boost to health. A pet cat will usually give a "massive" boost. Best if you can have both. He never grew infirm, incapable, feeble, or anything else. He was wide awake for all 95 years of his reign.

0:23 this joke aged spectacularly poorly just a day after being made lol

My longest living character was 332, but that was in ck2

I love that your man conquers damn near every holy city in the world just to suck it dry of energy like a vampire AND only "becomes cynical" after the fourth or fifth one 12:40 XD

I'm fairly new to the channel and I can't help but be curious of how the idea came about to essentially tell stories in your videos through rhymes. Unique idea and I respect the work put in.

The segway to the Imperium of man and warhammer was really unexpected. Guess we now know the backstory lol

I'm fairly new to the game. So far the best i've done is an Irish High Queen who died of old age just before she could be murdered by her grandson. Amusingly He got a message telling him that his plot to murder Granny was no longer in effect because she had popped her clogs on her own. As I'm typing this, in the real world Queen Elizabeth II has passed on age 96! All hail kinge Charles the 3rd. Given he is in his 70's his reign is likely to be short.

This video killed the queen.

You could get health boost broaches for each trinket slot, two health boost books in court, and four elixirs of immortality for court pedestal items for even more health. But would excessively rng to do one character.

that was really well-written lol, you have the soul of a poet and musician!

That opening hits different with King Charles III on the throne 😢

I have a feeling you might actually be able to one up this challenge by somehow hybridizing your culture with Han and conquering so much that your prestigious ancestors cultural trait maxes you out on dynasty traits in one life. Could get Octogenarians and even more disease resistance boosts that way. Also, 14 default health is good even with maimed, but I wonder if a Herculean+Fecund starting character would do even better?

My excitement over seeing a new upload of yours also seems quite immortal

Plot twist he didn’t die he just went on the golden throne

Best Ck3 KZfaqr. This guy has 100 diplo and the Poet Trait defo.

Ah yes, a warhammer 40k reference for a nation with a game of thrones reference for a motto...

the release date of this video has recently become quite funny

0:20 Bro this joke at the begining about King Charles hit different 1 day after the publication of the vid 💀

I love how it goes all Warhammer 40k about 14 min in.

I hope I live to be about 1/5 as old as Ewen did. Salute!

This was an amazing video, very cool to see the life span pushed to its limits in this game.

Dear gods, what have you done to me?

These videos always make my day. I must have watched every CK3 video of yours 3+ times. They’re so entertaining! Thank you very much for making them.

I really wanna see what happens if I edit a little code to turn ewan's life rating from 14 to 140

Hey man, another fantastic video! I seriously want to commend you on your wordplay in these videos, I honestly look forward to how smart these references, puns, and alliterations can get! Keep up the excellent work

You have a gift for coming up with rhymes and then saying them in a way so they don't rhyme. Like an invert Eminem.

The eldest AI character I saw was a 102 patriarch of the Orthodox church

I would love to see a continuation f this series. This immortal challenge was very thrilling to watch.

GREAT video sir, I was waiting for this one!!! 150 is super impressive..I have modded immortality in one of my games and I'm not even 150 yet and emperor of the HRE by way of Sardinia. My HRE rolls from Russia to Iberia. All of France and I'm starting in on England! Much more impressive to live that long without being terrified of RNG being able to kill you 😀

Man I love these videos, I’m really new to ck3 but I enjoy them and learn. They’re also great to go to bed to because ur not overly obnoxious like others

This inspired me to do my own challenge. I started as a single county vassal in India with the Rajasthani culture and Vaishnavite faith. I made a custom character with herculean, strong, and fecund, but to get down to 400 points, he started at 0 years old. Sanjay Pritampal lived to 120, had 30 children and outlived half of them, left behind 114 living house members, and finished 5 lifestyle trees. He spent his youth developing his economy, watched his liege's kingdom collapse around him, then began conquering and took his first kingdom at 83. He ended with 6 kingdoms and 81 counties to form a custom empire at the end of his life. Rajasthani has the mythical ancestors tradition, which gives renown from granting titles to house members, so I was able to find out that the graceful aging bonuses from the kin legacy don't apply retroactively. He died with a -26 prowess penalty. Had I known that, I would have gone for blood instead. The congenital traits wouldn't have mattered, but I could have gotten him 5 extra years.

My man just became like one of those corrupted monks from Sekiro.

Alzabo, how did you predict the Queens death. I saw king Charles 3rd pop up on the screen

Maybe his life could have been further extended by forming the North Sea Empire, since it adds a few decades I think to your life expectancy.

very fun video, you should teach people how to stabilize their realm while expanding fast

It's great that you got sponsored! Love your vids man

Having a great day in a better life, new Alzabo video makes both better

cool vid bro. Love your work as always!

Love your content, always super fun stuff

Get this man a golden throne

great timing for this video

Hearing an English-speaker properly pronounce Å fills my Norse heart with mead! help

Best ck3 channel on KZfaq

Heh yay more Alzabo! Love what you do king 👑

A friend of mine reached 107 years of age (99 years of rule) during one of our multiplayer games. It was wild and done by only stacking vanilla modifiers.

Think about it: You die of old age while your dad is still rocking around conquering land.

Goddam that kill count is impressive lol

wow, what time

That sponsorship aged well

Great video as always!

Bro, this dudes rhyming and his calm mannered voice literally makes me feel at peace with myswlf

I really liked this. I’d be interested in watching you play this game beyond this summary.

Really enjoyed the video!

This dude plans to live until he gets his robotic hand 🦾

This video the day before the Queen dies? can't be a coincidence

Well the Queen just fucking failed this challenge lol

Your rhymes and puns are unsettling good!!!

You my friend have the soul of a bard your videos bring joy and peace to my weary life may your poems and tales bring you good fortune and may your pillow be ever cool

I do believe there are plenty of artifacts that give health boosts… that could likely boost this even further!

could you change the health value of an existing charcter and then play unntill 150+ if you just set the health stat to say 100? has anyone tested this?

EPIC VIDEO! Thank you for that!

Love it when the overview is a quarter of the video.

bro outlived the queen

Another exciting adventure with AlzaboHD

He prayed for immortality but not eternal youth.

Always love your videos :)

the best paradox youtuber by far

Been waiting for this one ☝️

Okay, I did it, alright? I finally bought that tree in Scotland!

Nice video. Love your content

Cool Video man!

it was so refreshing to watch you go through whatever the game threw at you and succeed that i tried a very obscure start as a Latgalian, vassal count to the duke of Curonia. I set off with one holy site in hand to conquer another vidilist holy site in braslau in the name of my lord, my liege, and myself. After a decisive victory over the Lithuanian duke, i set my sites on the holy site of Chelmno. While embarked on my holy journey to unite the Baltics under the True Vidilist Faith my liege proceeded to lay with my wife. needless to say i could not trust her any longer and imprisoned, tortured and executed her. Given the questionable lineage of my two sons who she bore me, i had them imprisoned as well and disinherited both of them taking care not to execute them lest i recieve the kinslayer trait. when these things were completed and my liege understood that not only did i kill his lover but also ended any bright future his or my children might ever have. After lamenting for the loss of my family and the trust i had in anyone, i proceeded to engage my liege in a war for independence! No way was i going to remain loyal to a Leader who would take such action against my house and my honor. After quickly winning my war for independence, i patiently waited until the truce was over from my war for independece. This is when my journey for independence from my liege became my journey for conquest of my rival. I became the duke of Curonia that winter. It was a fitting end to the reign of my former liege. To be cast out into the cold, alone with his entire family dead, a distant memory, lingering in his wounds from the recent loss.... I did not succeed in uniting the Baltic Empire or even creating a reformed faith. But I did remarry and have another child. I left my new son with a legacy he may be able to do something with... keep up the great videos!!!!!!

ALZABO HEAR ME ROAR

You did it, you godlike madlad. Danke!

Like your rhyming commentary dude.

Bro the rhyming is so entering - never seen ck3 be so entertaining

This should have the #asmr tag

Nice to see a Walder Frey play through

i have no idea how anything in this video was done because the game is too complicated, but i love it

So in one of my Iberian games, i was losing a defensive war, them Haesteinn came to raid my enemy and stack wiped him. I won the war and decided to send a gift to him. And he was at 96 year old. I befriend him and started to check on him every year, the old viking lived to 199 years old. He died at less than 3 months to complete 200 years old, got captured in battle and executed by some random french count. After that i decided to use my high intrigue wife to abduct him, kill his family and them execute him to avenge my viking friend. Them i deleted the save and started another game.

how did you make a culture hybrid with heritage and language of the same culture?

Cool vid my sire!

"Declared war on a literal baby" made me absolutely lose my mind bro

That was a fun journey man

Another great video :)

I remember Immortality being so hard to get in CK2. Felt like it was like 0.5% chance. Even with 50plus stats.
