25:07 hey there Timmies. It’s time for math class. The total number of deaths in that war was around the 4.6 million range. Now the global population in 1700 was roughly 610 million. That is roughly 0.75% of the world’s population. However, nearly all of the army at this point is male. So that is 4.6 million men that died. Chop that 610 million in half and we get 305 million. Which means that 1.5% of the male population died in that war. EDIT: it got even worse. Since the war was nearly entirely fought within Europe, then it is safe to assume most of those casualties were Europeans. The European population in 1700 was 98 million. The total European population that died would be roughly 4.7% The total European male population that died would be roughly 9.4%

Britannia being exiled in st. Helena is the most perfect bit of irony in this playthrough

The true Rome was the Rat this whole time.

I like how Tannu Tuva is just ignored in Hoi4. Even in a crazy fever dream world they are just as forgotten.

Honestly I think this one was better. You being "OP" into Hoi4 meant you were so big that everyone fought you and you actually had a WW2 where I saw the danger. Not three of four curbstomps in a war.

Weirdly this was probably my favourite HoI4 part pf any megacampaign despite how overpowered you supposedly were Probably had to do with the Transcaucassian Blitzkrieg desttoying your industru, but still, just way more fun than normally which is just a nonstop stomp from your nation

Revolutionary revolu is just beautiful EU4 shenanigans

Most cursed Mega Campaign 2024 idea: Mega Campaign Roulette! Start as a character in CK III and then at the start of each new game, put all the Great Powers except for the one you played as last game on the old magical country picking wheel and let it spin, then play as that nation for the rest of the game before rinsing and repeating in the next one. The resulting chaos and instability should be legendary.

I love how the Black Horde split off from the Mongol Empire, reached its peak in the 1500s, fell, was restored by the Romans and regained its splendour because of them.

Revolutionary Revolu, my beloved

next year @iSorrowproductions should post the REDUX first, and we have to guess who the original nation was. Also, would like to see in the redux a different nation being played per game, as then it will be more fun to see him try and tackle the beasts he made in the previous games, and at the end we will have a more balanced world.

i swear to god the ai being like that in eu4 is (partially) something with the converter, while the ai in base games does go around forts most of the time, ive never seen it do the crazy distances in these videos

27:44 Saint Helena Edit: I actually got it? That’s awesome. I guessed that because Napoleon was sent there and if I remember correctly the Papal States went there in a previous mega campaign.

Top 10 worst animie betrayals when the bad German Empire killed the glorious and based Holy Roman Empire

Revolutionary Revolutionary Revolutionary would be an accurate descriptor for IRL France right given the number of different republics they've had

the mega camPAIN would be less painful if the rat was still with us.. fly high..

7:47 - Except this is likely referring to the Scottish town, so is actually pronounced "Skoon". So yes, we have three different ways to pronounce it!

Revolutionary Revolu needs their own megapain redux

btw, in the EU4 game options, "No Limit on Idea Groups = Yes" is ironman compatible - you can go admin ideas over and over and it can still count towards achievements.

So for this years megacampaign I think one of these might be fun: An Egyptian start as either an heir of Alexander or one of the Pharaoic dynasties (I suggest the Ptolemaïc dynasty because its perfect for the whole CK joke of "incest fun". A start in Africa becoming a black viking. A start in India transitioning to Japan in EU4 (Indian Shogunate). Anything into a Caribbean pirate nation. Ulm (into Stellaris too, because of the planet).

1:00:28 can we talk about that GIANT Tannu Tuva there?

crazy how this ended in a war against Germany, who were previously Rome, the country ISP started this entire thing with

This is genuinely better than the actual mega campaign this year. Love it!

I would like to suggest that this Redux series be continued. Just keep picking new nations and building new alternate time lines like one a month or something it's a cool series.

I wasn't asleep but hearing Alexa answer that was mortifying.

I have two suggestions for the mega campaign! 1. Start as the Count of Geneva; limiting your expansion in ck3 to alpine or swiss areas with the intention to form the Calvinist Genevan Consistory in eu4, then try to convert the whole world, only directly controlling strategic "holy sites". Inspired by the Magisterium from Golden Compass/His Dark Materials 2. Start as the Ras (count) of Dämbiya; Jewish Ethiopia but, the twist is at some point you take back the holy land, but while your brother or whatever inherits "Beta Israel" you inherit "ALPHA ISRAEL" then go on to conquer the world from the Holy City

This mega campaign is what i expect. Please do more large empire building for next/this years mega campaign

Bam (Revolutionary Revolutionary Revo) sounds like the debut album for a synth-pop band that had one good single in 1985 and the rest of the tracks are just forgotten.

RIP mega Creek :(

There are settings in Vic3 that turn AI aggressiveness up. You can do that in the game setup.

The black horde is one of the most metal names for an empire.

I think for the next mega campaign it would be interesting to go all in on "going ham" in CK3/EU4, like full world conquest stuff, so that by Vic2/HOI4 every country in the world is just your old puppets that have broken free. Would be interesting fighting a world war against your own creations.

I have a Idee for a play-through: how about a big campaign called Amazons in the Amazon? you would have to create a culture in ck3 that is a matriarchy and then in eu4 colonise Brazil.

'Revolutionairy Revolutionairy Revo' I love paradox so much...

Another mega campaign

Espionage idea is actually good in eu4 now

if your ever feeling down, just remember, you could be liveing in this hellworld instead

The true successor to Rome was the friends we made along the way

I look forward to these every year. The EOY flies w nostalgia November into December. Love it

Two banger endings for another banger mega campaign. Somewhere in Africa would be an interesting start for the next campaign

I remember when you did this with the the gold empire last year this is nice

Next year should be the Iberian giga coloniser Mega Campaign

Espionage just keeps getting more based because it is lowkey really good in the right context

I have been waiting all year for this

Absolutely amazing as always!!!

Hope you have energy and still the joy of making these videos. Have wonderful day and year.

Awesome campaign, thank you ISP 👑

"I don't plan on expanding into italy" he says at the end of CK3 *owns all of italy by the end of EU4*

I love your channel keep up the good work

Finally, a truly educational historical documentary

Committee of Public Safety had me dead.

Tsang is separated by Tsang which is separated by Tsang until Tsand defeats Tsang in war uniting Tsang but still separating Tsang.

You could change to the most interesting AI nation at every stage of the mega campaign next time. Might make it a bit more challenging for you and I think it could be more fun because otherwise you steamroll everything easily, and have to hold back from not doing even more.

Great that you actually start in CK3, it's always fun

The baby eating patriarch is a reference to Blackadder and the Baby-Eating Bishop of Bath and Wells.

27:32 Isle of Man! 37:51 Braun collapsing under the weight of 200k simultaneous pats on the back :^)

Braun is elite at editing!

This is probably my favorite mega pain yeeettt

Maybe the true Rome was the friends we made along the way

55:05 Denmark? Oh you mean Holy Roman Denmar.

since Madagascar never got colonized the dodo is still around

Hell yeah, this is awesome!

We're going back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkey off the menu!! 🔥🔥

Is this the timeline Mad Max is from? With irradiated Australia?

Maybe the Real Roman Empire was the Friends we made along the way.

i have formed a deeply concerning parasocial relationship with the rat.

The atomic bombings of Australia may have stopped them for a time. But soon they will have Australian Spider-Men.

The duality of Tsang

Thumbs up just for the concept

More mega pain

Get this man to 800 k now

Maybe the true Rome was the friends we made along the way?

Bro is the best commentator there is ❤❤

there is a holy roman denmark XD

this was actually greater than I expected! Even without the rat

"cardinal twins" is such a good joke

Do a Japan or China mega campaign with the extended map mod for CK3!

Anatolikon was actually the state that reformed the byzantines in eu4 lol

Yeeeeeah, it’s rewind time.

Daily petition for ISP to do Artillery Only 3

55:02 Well -- at least Holy Roman Denmark is still there ;)

That hoi4 session was just constant chaos.

Best Welsh Game! (You should continue that Welsh story of power next year ;) )

I think the county of aargau in 1066 could be an interesting start for a mega campaign as its ruled by one of the first habsburgs

amazing

gotta love Mega-Tuva

For vic3 use the aggressive ai option

Very nice

Maybe you should play tall in ck3-eu4 next time, mostly focusing on development and economy. Anyway, thanks for the content. ❤❤❤

Am I only one who wants to see a redux redux withe the Black Horde?

Egypt or Burma would be my picks

TSANG 2024!

espionage ideas are actually suprizingly good atm in eu4

Season 2 day 9 of requesting ISP to do his next mega-campaign in W. Africa!

I made it to the end. There's now gravy all over my shoulder.

I think that to truly make the next one the 2024 Mega Campaign and all others after it, is you play each game 3 with 3 months inbetween, so it spans all of 2024

Next mega campaign you should try to play as an arab state in 1066 spain

How about a Viking mega-campaign? Would be interesting in the CK3 period and carrying it forwards to HoI4 would be awesome

This Tsang on Tsang violence must end!

I'd actually love to see you start a mega-campaign somewhere in Africa. Just sort of stay out of the main areas and let the AI go ham in Europe and Asia.
