This guy has "friend giving me a 3 am lecture energy" and I love it. Zahumlje.

In some strategy games, the final boss is a major historical figure. In CK3 the final boss is your own children that fuck up all your hard work.

The province is entirely mountainous, which limits its economic scope and development growth. Compare that to the province of Madurai at the southern tip of India. It has seven holdings, five of which are either coastal or farmlands (or both). It also has a high starting development of 25 in the 867 start. Makes it an ideal place to be an economic powerhouse on its own.

5:20 Fun fact: The Dutchy of Bohemia is one of the few that start of with „House Seniority“ as Succession Law what make‘s it one of the best starting locations if you intent to play Tall

It's been changed, now the biggest counties are Khotan, Nasaiya, Gurganj and Madurai at 7, Zahumlje now Zachlumia only has 5.

Take a shot every time he says Zahumllje. See you all in the hospital.

Him: "You're not gonna murder your sons" Me, who murdered his son because I couldn't force him to be a monk or disinherit him: "Interesting"

a tip for players who struggle about sucsession, just send your children to join the clergy or holy order and make sure to educate them to have virtous trait so they wont reject the demand to join the clergy or holy order

I'd still prefer a smaller province with better environments. Hills and mountains are good defensively, but are terrible for economy. Give me Kiev or Praha with the lower barony count, but multiple farmlands any day.

Love the tone of this one. Dunno why KZfaq recommended this video to me a year late, but I'm here.

You should put all your eggs into one duchy (my personal favorite is the duchy of Sardinia). Add feudal elective to it (make sure no one else holds any counties in it) as well as form the kingdom of Sardinia (forgot the full name) and you'll always inherit the entire duchy's counties. Just remember to actually vote, ofc

Man I’m really happy I popped on your video. Most personality I’ve seen for a CK content creator and honestly so refreshing to have.

This is now my new favourite video on KZfaq, just so randomly funny

Good work man haha I always want to find someone to shoot it straight and simple when it comes to these damn games

They nerfed the Balkan duchy. Cut the large province into two.

Him: your brother is gonna inherit these two... Me: they are arrested since birth 😂

If you're min maxing, you don't go by provinces, though. Yo go by duchy size and special buildings.

“Not gonna murder your sons” me killing all my spare sons before I die

I am playing a Viking play through, you can have less sons by killing them in battle, disinherit before death, and I also rotate 3 duchies, by giving 1 to my heir when they are young and they will automatically get the duchy with capital, then give the 3rd to his heir, rotating between.

It is pronounced Za-Hum-Lie. Not Za-Hum-Lje. Greetings from Croatia 😃

LOL... subbed because you made me crack up.

Very nice, what do you think of Giurgiu County and, subsequently, Muntenian Duchy and Walachia Kingdom?

no longer the most cool county. they fixed this already

Drink a shot every time you hear Zahumlje :-) Nice vid.

I feel like ultimately a county with fewer holdings but higher dev is better, especially since that county is in the mountains

this is no longer in the game btw, its 2 counties now.

The amount of testing I had to do... Here I thought it was like CK2 where barony titles worked like every title and would go to all children equally, but it looks like all baronies in your main county go to eldest

Cagliari is the best province. Holding sub holdings reduces the number of building slots to 3. You get a better ROI building a city over a castle. There are tons of ways to control your inheritance that holding the duchy of Sardinia and occasionally having to revoke titles from your sibling vessels then what ever. It’s not that difficult. And the mine means mercs on mercs.

unfortunately the terrain is kind of lackluster, but i love it anyway. could be a sweet stronghold with shloads of military buildings

I tried this out and it seems like the county got nerfed, it’s got only 5 holding slots now unfortunately

Bill Burr kind of advice for CK3 :D

On the dutchy aspect would it be better to be a duke holding many smaller dutchies or would it be better to hold larger ones

Unfortunately it got split so now doesn't have 8 :(

Rome and Byzantium are still better coz they have some insane buildings there. The Theodosian walls itself should count as one big castle holding

Im cracking up 😂 "Zaahuumleejeee"

That India bit was hilarious, gives me stand up comedy vibes

"who gives a shit about india" Lol couldn't agree more

Very informative video thanks dood

It's since been split into multiple counties. Now the best province in the world is Madurai, 7 provinces and 25-30 dev.

I forget the name but there is a place in Manding with a decent amount of building slots and a mine that you can get fully leveled up to 14 gold per month

Its thick with 8 but its duchy is tiny and its not even the duchy capital so u can't have the duchy building on top of all that its freaking mountains personally I think paris is the best to play tall a good duchy with lot of plains

Fucking Zahumlajie, what a legendary place of greatness.

Zsha-hoo-mul-yae Wife is Serbian and was making fun of my pronunciation.

Bro where's my tallboi Zahumlje run, I been waiting

they cut it in half😭

I failed as the Byzantines, now I feel sad :(

god damn this video was funny

I Lol'd all the way thru.

Are you the Bill Burr of videogames or someshit? LOL Edit. R.I.P. Zahumlje

I love your pronouncation of zahumlje

This doesn't work anymore, Zahumlje has been divided and now it have 5 slots and the new county, zelengora, have 3, giving a total of 8 slots, including the capital castle, so basically they are 2 normal counties now

rip zahujimle got nerfed its a 5 slot now

can you do a Zahumleje run?

"someone's calling me, I dont care what they have to say". what a menace this guy is. Hail Zahumlje

God bless Americans, their education system and the way they prononuce Slavic names.

yeah so this has been changed unfortunately, was gonna try it out

rip zahumlje

Zahumlje no longer has this... sadly :)

They reduced the holdings in there :((

you could just hold the actual best holdings and get your succession down properly...

Madurai in india is the BEST county in the game, i dont care what this guy says. Few less holdings but off the charts development growth! Besides, people are too scared about succession in this game. If you learn to properly manage it, its quite easy to keep your stuff. Theres many ways to resolve your succession. In early game, best way to do it is to conquer new land for your other children to inherit, give it to them and you are just fine or... you could always send your unwanted sons to suicide mission in wars! I personally like to keep my kids on the land of the living to generate me more dynasty memebers and renown! On top of that, you have holy orders and monks and what not. Your kids are guaranteed to accept ''taking the vows'' if you ''raise'' them properly. That means, be the guardian yourself and select virtuous traits for them and make them a scholar or knight (depends where you want to send them)!

Im going to play Croatia now Edit: it got nerfed no longer playing Croatia

Actually I accidentally clicked on this video

It's only got 4, since the games release its been split in two

Me that don't k ow what primogeniture do and still do t have problems in 400 years game

I read that place as Zaclumia 🤣

because i played with "buy building slot" & "north african can raid" mod this vould be a perfect province for me, thank you

They changed it to a 5 spot :(

Lmaooo dude you’re fuckin hilarious 😂😂😂😂

Not anymore now they divided it into two counties

I’m really upset that they made it smaller

not even close pronouncing Zahumlje but respect for the effort

This trick is done for Zehumlje just got nerf big time 😂😂

Lmfao... killing me

It is bad terrain for development. I prefer that 7 holding county near Sri Lanka. Coastal for trade ports, starting high development. Or there are some very good counties when you follow the Ganges, very rich farmlands.

vi-KING of Mann is best

I must be using a mod that changes the map. Because the county is only 6 baronies for me.

Insane he couldn’t find Baghdad on a map lmao

But why tf did they make it so it has 8? :D

Laghing so hard here haha :)

They split it into 2 provinces it seems

this seems like a developer oversite

👍🏼

You sound like Bill Burr

The year is 2023 and the county has been split in 2 by a 5/3 split between the now 2 counties. Still good but the devs destroy everything

I wanna see him losing a battle reaction

You should be able to destroy one of your bees as long as you have a different one of its kind already built I don’t understand why that’s not a mechanic. Sometimes we have the cities or temples. Those are better locations for castles.

Not by a long shot. Madurai in southern India is the best county in the game. It has seven holdings. I believe five are farmlands/coastal and four are coastal. This means that you can build four tradeports, which will boost your development rate stupid high. On the early start, I easily outpace the rest of the world in development by a wide margin by 950. That's with conquering Madurai and changing the culture first (so about 10 years wasted there). I usually start as the island to the southeast (can't remember the name), but you can easily conquer Madurai, convert the culture and be a culture-head with very high development. The other thing that makes it so good is location. You're in southern India, so there's really only one way for enemies to come at you. If you conquer the two counties north of Madurai, you are defended by rivers on both side, making it easily one of the most defensible areas in the game without sacrificing any economy (Zahumlje is hard to take due to mountains, but that also murders your economy). Madurai is by far the strongest county in CK3.

I like how he goes the incredible effort to pronounce "Il de France" correctly but totally butchers "Zahumlje".

Zahumlje wasnt part of Croatia, it was populated by Serbs, and still is, just some of them converted to other nations.

India sounds like the place to be to me

Who gives a damn about India lol. Tamilikam is unstoppable. The only frustrating thing is being 100 years ahead of the tech game by 1000AD and having to wait around a couple of generations before you can make any more progress.

Haha, i live here...

Toledo

Edgy and dense, that’s rare.

thank god they nerfed that

Start as a Tibetan culture for Himalayan Settlers (development in mountains), then culture shift Afghan for Mountain Homes (more development in mountains), then settle in the most glorious province of all time 😂

They split it into 2 countiesit seems

It's pronounced zahumlye

I m bosnian, there is a letter called NJ, which is kinda these two zogrther, but it is more similar to N. So pronounce Zahumle
