Damn. I can hardly keep my court happy in CK3 and here you are playing Plague Inc in it. 😂

When I saw you were starting CK3 I honestly expected you to have a hard time with it. Having seen your ability to gather (and more importantly understand and apply) data from your Bannerlord videos I should have known better 😂.

"the terrain in Spain is a real pain with very little to gain..." you're a poet and you didnt know it!

Actually insane run. Well researched and amazingly executed!

if you attack a one county nation its pretty much nonimportant how strong their allies are, only how far away they are. If you siege it down before they arrive at the location, you get instantly 100% warscore

That is truly impressive. The thought of collecting and organizing that data from scratch made my brain hurt. Plus the 4:05 meme is spectacular.

I'm a Virgo, myself.

the mongols were a beast in CK2, less so in CK3. the Horse Lord expansion hasn't dropped yet, and that pretty much determines if they are a threat that punches above their weight or below it. currently they are tough due to numbers, so if you have anywhere close to the same numbers you can curb stomp them. they get a bunch of troops that do not need supply, which has a decent amount of horse archers. horse archers are the toughest light cav, and the second strongest light cav. they are weak compared to heavy cav or heavy infantry, but if they win they cause a ton of casualties. since a lot of players cheese the retreat mechanics, losing a battle to whittle down the numbers of the enemy until they can defeat it the mongols are insanely powerful against such players. the empire really needs to get a foothold due to the lack of Horse Lords DLC to be any sort of threat, but after a couple of generations the empire breaks up on its own and you can gobble it up piece meal. this means that it is more of a speed bump to cheesers than a real threat.

When you spend hours on CK3 just to say "Fuck you Cancer". Truly, we have found the GOAT. Thank you Strat Gaming, you magnificient, yet not fluent in chinese, bastard.

Jesus not even a minute into the video and I'm already cackling. I don't even have to finish the video to know it's a great one, well done!

Another really excellent video. The meme edits are a joy and the telling a CK3 world conquest story, showing some of the methodology and keeping it under 20 mins is a delight.

This was so interesting! Such great quality too. Can't wait to see more from you. Thank you for this!

Gotta love that data driven gameplay. I'm glad I found your channel!

Most dedicated video in a long time, love the editing

Great video! Was surprised to not find a big backlog when I clicked on your channel given til quality. Looking forward to the next video :)

Please continue with these videos, I find your approach extremely exciting and very entertaining, feel free to go into more detail about your methodology.

And I thought my world conquest that finished at the 1300s was impressive. Man you need to make your research public. I had no idea about the By the word perk.

Incredible! I really loved this one. Almost got me tearing up on that last note, you silly boy.

Awesome, recently started playing CK3 myself, my first Paradox game, except for a few hours of Stellaris, which we apparently don't talk about. Really cool what you could accomplish already and great editing as always. For most videos I wish they were a bit more cut, but for yours it's almost the opposite and they leave me wanting more!

I really enjoy your longer content but, this is great too!

Umm, may I peek at that gorgeous spreadsheet? My lord, man. So logical and precise. Love it. Great video. Thank you!

This video it's amazing a literal MASTERPIECE in terms of Quality💯💯💯💯💯💯 You are truly the data lord

Well well well is it the man himself strat the world conquerors through all the games

This video was crazy 😭 loved it sm

My first ever time watching anything related to crusader kings! Was not disappointed 😎

WOW!! Just... WOW!! Im new in CK3 and this is AWESOME!! Excelent work my friend!!! WOW!

You put more thought into one run than i put into my last ten.

Cannot wait to see more videos from you man

Honestly i would of watched the full 400 years this took, great work and amazing research!!

I struggle with the basics and this man is out here casually eating everything up like it's nothing, lol.

Extreme nice video dude💪🏼 stroooong. Greetings from Germany, du geiler Typ😂❤

Awesome game play! Hope to apply that onto my campaign 😂. I mostly like the end part of the video 😂

You are insane. I dont know if thats good or bad yet. But insane ^^

Brava! That ending was a masterpiece!

Masterpiece video good shit!

This is just amazing🔥🔥

It seems I'm here before this channel blows upward!

I got carpal tunnel syndrome watching this. Love you strat

great video enjoyed your use of data to out wit your opponents

the editing keeps getting better in these videos

I'm so glad to see you pick up CK3, Your videos on Bannerlord made me think that you would have a field day with Ck3 as it's right up your alley. (Please pronounce alba as "Al-e-pa")

Love your vids ❤

Crazy stuff great video 😁

Criminally underrated channel

Awesome work!

Thus is great.... Wouldn't mind watching how u strategized tho

reeeaaallll good video really tickled my tip

Awesome video, as always, and I am super happy that you are also doing some CK3 stuff next to Bannerlord. Do you have a VOD or something of the entire playthrough? I would love to watch it.

that is so cool and impressive! I love CK games, and it was very fun to see a good WC by you

Subbed for the Bonobo jokes alone

“I'm the new cancer, never looked better” Panic! At The Disco - There’s a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought of It Yet

you did the good choice making it short i watched the video like 5 times

as a fellow data nerd and ck3 enjoyer, i loved this

I'm sure Zieley would be proud. From the videos I've watched of his the mongols do have one of the best units the horse archer which has a high pursuit stat to kill off more troops when they are routed. I've never played though because this game looks like a lot of brain power.

you sir earned yourself a sub

Could u do with other paradox games? I think a lot of mount and blade players are also paradox game enjoyers. You cover a good niche here. I never played ck 3, yet here i am, enjoying this vid :D (+ nice memes :D)

you are the greatest!

Cool video, can you make one talking about the results from the data you compiled on the catalog?

Fucking love this channel, I hope to watch grow

That’s why he’s the goat, THE GOAT!

mark my words, your channel will reach a few hundred thousand subs one day

You're an absolute datalegend

Yoooo that data software looks neat! mind sharing your method with a fellow data nerd? You just rekindled my interest in CK3 with your magisterial display

top tier content

Great effort👏👏

Now you should make a surviving cancer run where you start as a single spot

Looks like you pulled a classic US of A move 😂 MERICA....or ALBA

The end was peak

Love the video

Loved it!

You have achieved cracked status

Once again proving that even Paradox can't stop the power of nerd.

Great video

is there a place I can find the compilation of the data you've compiled in that 150 hours? I'm super impressed by the work you put into this, but I couldn't even get that done in 300 hours, let alone 150.

ngl the problem you faced was kinda like aggressive expansion in EUIV but then with counties you conquered, it's a weak peasant army but every time it sieges down a holding they grow. best way to get rid of them is raising an army of mercs next to the rebellions leader. 9/10 you capture him and end the war in a week!

I swear if this is another one of those astrological sign videos

I would give up arm and a leg for access to that ck3 database

Nice, my strategy was a bit different. I captured constaninople and Sardinia to get a huge income and a gold mine, used norse culture to hybridize with greek culture, reformed my religion and ended up with: 1. Me being a head of the state everyone pays indulgence to. That's how I ended up with infinite money 2. Top tier techs 3. Cataphracts steamrolling everything. 4. A dynasty that is almost guaranteed to inherit all positive traits (used moderate incest to reinforce some traits, creating a race of gigachads). So, I had a slower start, but from then on just steamrolled the whole game. Sadly, after I declared a crusade myself, all of my vassals were called into a war and the game ran at one day per minute, so I had to end the run.

For all of your big battles you forgot to mention that starving and recently disembarked gives advantage malusses so bad winning 2:1 or even 3:1 with some delayed reinforcements becomes an easy task.

this video is amazing

12:06 the ultimate way to play Paradox games

11:03 Ash'ari baltics and finland is just so cursed

Impressive, I've learned 2 things watching your video. 1st is that I can kill my mediocre sons by sending them alone to the enemy. 2nd is that I can expect less rebellions if I choose lazy content dukes.

Love it.

14:03 Epic Rhyming

You should do one about Yellow Fever too, since you seem to know a lot about that

Just goes to show that it’s not just the hours, it’s the knowledge that you gain in those hours lmao. In what could take a thousand hours of more manual trial and error to slowly learn the game, you can accomplish in much less by simply understanding the maths and data that make the spreadsheet go brrrrrrrrrr.

Amazing

Not that i know of a plan like this, but I originally thought by the title you were talking about biological warfare

The chinese part had me rolling on the floor 😂😂😂

Well done.

Awesome

1917 was the year, when hell begun to reign on Earth...

Impressive efficiency.

2:32 thankfully I recently watched game of thrones.

Funny video man, just wanted to ask how you even build such a huge army (by yourself)? My personal soldiers are always like 4,000 max even though I’m literally emperor of britannia.

I know you don't do so but I had to ask;;... any save save scumming during this play through.. I know I do as an an old man gaming I forget certain aspects of ganes... thank you for all you do.

Btw troop count doesn't matter because of the way battle mechanics work. You can stack men at arms and knight bonuses and an army of 1000 can stack wipe a 10k strong levy army. Even early game an army of 2k huskarls can defeat anything.

I only just started playing today and I married my daughter to the heir of France, he is now king and it is a very strong alliance for my slow expansion.
