mashallah brother, fish n chips are now halal

I feel like CK3 has a hidden setting that increases the amount of pop ups you don't care about when it detects you trying to micromanage troops at 5x speed.

the idea of 11th century muslims conquering Cardiff and using it as a power base to launch a jihad of the UK is hilarious to me

The fact that he didn't make a Bedouin-Welsh Hybrid kills my soul a tad, probably doesn't help that I have a preference for always creating at least one new culture per game as a rule unless I start as Culture head anyway lmao.

30:33 - again, just to make sure you don't miss this, this is a *feature* of pluralist holy wars, which keeps all vassals of the previous title, unless they have lands outside the captured title. For example, in this case, if the duke of Mercia had lands in Brittany, you would seize his lands in mercia and leave him in Brittany, IIRC anyway. You only seize all lands when doing a holy war as a Righteous or Fundamentalist Faith.

Basically modern day Britain

Try an Indian character taking over Scandinavia as payback for those Viking India memes, even if you have to make a custom character to start in striking distance

Defender advantage is actually tied to fortresses which you control, not just your territory. Outside of baronies with controlled castles the army which was there first is the defender. At least I am 90 % sure that was how things were.

36:22 your muslim faith in particular (Muwalladism) is a pluralist faith. Pluralist religions dont "revoke" the titles after the holy war, they vassalize the rulers in the target area. Basically it turns the holy war into a subjugation war, in a way, but instead of prestige you use piety for it. If you want to actual get the titles you need to be of a "righteous" faith. Another difference from pluralist to righteous is that if you have a vassal from a faith yours considers evil, with righteous faith you can revoke the title with that as a reason, without tyranny, while pluralists dont, which kinda goes along with getting the title vs vassalizing after a holy war. And this is also a reason why you had to fight tyranny wars for revoking titles of your chriistian vassals. If you were from a righteous faith, that wouldnt have happen. In this case your faith, Muwalladism, is pluralist, but, for example, the biggest muslim faith is Ash'arism which is righteous. And with christian faiths, Catholicism and Orthodoxy are righteous, Coptic and Muzarabism are pluralists (using the biggest christian faiths as an example) When doing a lot of conquests in a region with different "evil" faiths, it might be worth checking these particular things about your faith, to see if it is better to convert. If you are trying to get along with other faiths (for example going the concilliation path in the struggle for Iberia) a pluralist religion, like Muwalladism if you ara muslim or Muzarabic if your are christian, would be a better option since it cuts in half the "different faith" penalty and vassals of different faith are less likely to join factions. But if you want to dominate them, then a faith like Ash'arims or catholicism is better because you can take over everything, Obviously, if you go for the RP side, that is a different case, what i said is purely for the bonus you get (or reduced penalties) that can help for a "min-max" campaign. Also another thing, you have access to "Conquer" CB. This means you dont need to waste gold on claim. You can use only prestige to declare war and do a "Conquer Duchy CB". Having this CB depends on religion as well (im not sure if certain cultures also have it independent of religion tho), so might also be worth paying attention to that before throwing gold left and right for something you dont need.

28:32 because you are a muwalladi character muwalladi has pluralist so you should have chosen a ash'ari character but still good video keep it up

Ramadan Kareem to Her Majesty the Sultanah of Al-Brittanniad.

I did this once, but as a Kimek nomad. Probably the best and most interesting game of CK3 I have ever played.

Hrm... Looks like i gotta subscribe. Hopefully we hit that goal soon! Love the content you have! I've been watching your videos for the past several hours now haha. :) +Love and likes from canada

36:32 You had one extra county than u needed Lol great vid I love your content keep it up!

Man, I watch all of your videos and I feel that a lot of time, when something does not go as planned in your game, except for pure RNG, it is because you're playing at max speed. Here the glass building is the perfect example. If you were taking it down a notch, there wouldn't have been any issue building it. You still manage to get the upper hand, which is impressive and enjoyable! But I really feel that you're making your life harder just by playing at that speed. Anyway, thank you for the content!

Got some courage playing on speed 5 in your position. They are sieging everything, understatement of the century. Never won a crusade for England. I have to convert when I start as Norse.

I do like how it took till 10:07 for him to notice that his brother held the lands in wales 😂

do that now with Germany too, then we'll have Germanstan

Hey Im working on doing this on stream as a stretch goal for my current campaign while I try to force the struggle into an end state after becoming victim to my own success in conquering the peninsula and avenging the battle of tours.

26:58 - it depends who controls the holding. If you run into them in an empty mountain barony in any land, you are attacker. If you have a castle in those mountains that they are sieging, you walk into them ,* *they* are the attacker, think of it as similar to Eu4 in that regard. That's why the AI will always prefer to break sieges and run to unoccupied hills or mountains nearby, PDX actually made the AI decent at this. And again, going back to the idea of controlling, the effect would be the same if you sieged and took over someone else's mountain fort, it would be the same as a mountain fort in your land controlled by you, and if the enemy took a mountain fort in your land, it would be the same as if they owned it. (Hence the distinction between own and control for things like achievements and decisions)

If you capture an heir unlanded demand conversion and then when they inherit you have holy war allies the war score is a short term boon but the true boon is how you can manipulate the realms around you

Here since like 20k🗿 glad to see you getting to 50k

1000 years early

I love shit like this please do more!!!

28:33 - ok so for *holy wars*, you seize counties depending on hostility, duchies/kingdoms/empires still have to be usurped as normal if the titles still exist after the war. And going back to hostility, since you did a Pluralist holy war, it only seizes titles directly from the title holder, or from people that would still have lands after the war, otherwise you keep all the vassals, which is just *so much fun*.

This is just modern day England.

My Favorit Szenario in Ck2. God i loved that game

they're doing this today

I've found that arabic cultures have excellent fighters. They are stronk af.

I'm still figuring out the game. I always start in the UK and I've seen Scotland and England do this pretty much every game I've played so far. I get RNG screwed a lot. Though I've never seen Iceland in the UK.

Last played as Ireland for the kingdom and Scotland was also giving vasselage to the duchies I was going for 😂

I think that if you give an holy site province to a vassal who belongs to that religion, they won't be able to crusade you

Very nice video xD, Ive defended England from crusades many times as a norse character, its the hardest place to defend IMHO since they can land and siege all over the place and get crazy warscore, I remember the first time it happened to me it took me 15 years to beat the crusaders. Defending a jihad as Eastern Rome is a close second because its pretty much you against the muslim world, but you got the mountain castles everywhere for the sweet defense bonus. To beat the AI the secret is to let your troops resupply, it will be a long war of attrition, so keeping your troops well supplied is key.

Wait, Neo-Welsh is based on the Bedouin culture yet their language is the Norse language? That's something I would've like to see IRL, for sure. :) Great job. That quick loss and regaining of England was quite the thing.

Once I fought against a crusade for 20 years. I had 300k soldiers and they had 500k. I had the full warscore from battles and they had from sieges. Pope never backed down. So I just got bored and surrendered.

I just went through three days with no sleep playing CK3, and today I can't even stay awake while playing...decided to just take an early sleep and watch some KZfaq before sleep. Now I'm feeling the itch to play again..

37:08 - yup it was probably an event lmao, there is one if you are an isolated fragment of your culture but not culture head, and it gives you the choice to diverge into a randomly generated divergent culture of your old one, it's really not great except as a feature to fracture AI, if you are a player it is always best to just do it manually for more control lol/

Reminds me of the time I made Han, Taoist character in Ireland...people didn't seem to like me much...but that could be because I had a habit of turning people into eunuchs.

I just always end up finding clan government to be pretty chaotic naturally, maybe I'm not playing it right but I also have like 19 kids

26:10 - I dunno man, that holy war for Ireland might be real useful instead.... lol

You could've granted independence to the other vassals, if you changed your primary Duchy to Wales instead of southern Spain.

I'd like to see this save again, just to witness if that mongol empire would succeed

I enjoyed this documentary.

I expected another crusade near the end after he got back England.

As far as I'm aware, holy wars don't give you the title. They just give you all the de jure land.

Great video

yo he's larping the EU

10:34 "I ain't time to breathe."

I live in aberywsyrh which is literally a castle town and I'm always Amazed I can walk to castle in 2 minutes

0:40 - I mean, you could've done the dismantle papacy/avenge battle of tours decision for this? Seems a tad more thematic but whatever

It said on the declare war screen that they would be vassalized by you before you started the holy war.

You should do an Ibadi run, Ibadis always get forgotten :(

Whenever a PC CK3 player even dares mention lag (*laughs in CK3 console edition*)

This reminds me of my irish ck2 games. For some reason i would always end up Muslim because of my physician.

hey snap, i got a question for you, is there a search option for finding wandering characters (for marriage, artifacts, dynasty members), in my game a got a huge dynasty, almost 1000 dynasty members, and i got some eugenic farming going on, so is there an option to show me only the wandering members of my dinasty

Mashallah brother ❤️

He should’ve called it the Caliphate of Al - Anglia, missed opportunity fr

This is just britain in 50 years anyhow

bro took england, lost it and then got it back lmao

Rust clain to be a refuge, and they'll let u in anyway😂

That’s not how Holy Wars work. Muwalladi is a pluralist fait so Holy Wars do not revoke titles from non-believers and you get all the vassals. Also, you never get a titles from a Holy War, it is only ever destroyed. Since the defender had land outside of the de jure title they just move out and keep all titles. Titles do get destroyed if de jure land is not held for a long enough time or upon succession, whichever comes first.

imagine, henry the 8 leading a jihad into france, truly blursed

Snap: I live within 20 minutes of 12 castles. There’s just so many castles in Wales Laughs in German

How do I tag tommy robinson in this hahaha he would convulse hahah

The madlad just recreated 2020 England lmao

mashallah brother

This would be really easy in 867 as Viking tbh, I can’t wait to do it myself

This actually could have been very easily our real history.😂

OMG it's just like irl :O

I once played as hasting now I went on to conquer Cornwall and then annex half of Britain I then got a decision to convert to Islam Wich I had no choice in and it was a good thing because I got a lot of wife’s but I also got a civil war because they wanted me to switch religions and take me of the throne

could've done it in sweden lmao, making swedistan

My Ummaya dynasty holds nearly all of western Europe

that is my family its called abbadi

Love the videos

Scotland scared the shit out of me in my playthrough. They took over all of Ireland, took land from the Norwegians, and took over Iceland.

perfectly accurate, Just like IRL 🔥🔥

good ending

Around 22:10 reminded me, does anyone understand how the AI logic for sending troops to help in your war work? Could you have waited for them to show up them raised? Or do you get something out of raising and going to sea and waiting like that?

west yorkshire pov

Allhamdulilah

Very good strategy 👍

nice

Mashaallah brother United Sultanate of Britania

Just like in real life.

I can hear Sargon just screaming in pure pain

What would happen if you take England, and Immediately grant independence to Kent, so you don't hold the Holy Site?

Reenactment of 21st century 😂😂😂

Being a Duke, you could have granted that other duchy title you held down in Iberia to someone, thus making them independent instead of considering destroying the title. (I always recommend that you give it to a parent, just for fun) It seems you don't understand a lot of the game. Yes, you get the defender bonus in your territory, even if you're the attacking one. (BUT it need to be a castle holding. Not a city, not a temple.) Also, Muwalladis are pluralist, (the ONLY Muslim faith to be pluralist) which means their holy wars mechanics are a little bit different. (also, I didn't even knew they could do holy wars, did this get integrated with the Fate of Iberia expansion? I'm away from the game for some time now)

The Muslims are doing this in real life already

Very halal😤😤🔥🔥🗣️

Make part 2

Let's gooooo

Haha you literally straight up stole the premise of my "save my disaster save" game i sent you. 🤣🤣 best give me some props!! Haha

Taking land in holy wars without getting vassals is a doctrine in your faith.

Ahahah ofc ur gunning for wales 🤣

I am waiting for my Jewish Lombardy/Milan and I can say I watched too enough things for ck3, I would like too see a Jewish revenge against the Romans, "italians" so and the pope and christianity (PS: It's an idea only for content I don't hate christianity)

Suddenly the pope prefers the protestant church😂

Ireland would have been a better start.

Muslim Britain ☕ would lead to the hilarious situation of the king 👑 having a harem of wives with various colourful accents all at the same time.

Muslims conquered England in an alternate history. I want an alternate history channel, but what would be more interesting is if this was in story mode. I love seeing a similar video of India conquering England under the Martha Empire, with the Newalkar Dynasty ruling England. Does anybody vote aye for yes? You like to see that happen in CK3 in story mode with a mini-series! Great video, my friend, and please keep up the awesome may your channel brings you good luck and many subscribers, which deserves more likes; stay true to your dreams no matter what, my friend!
