Save the world from Belgium and try EU4 for free: rebrand.ly/EU4AlzaboHD . Respect for Paradox for sponsoring this video - more videos (including the long awaited CK3 challenge) are coming next week so stay tuned!
Thank you for the kind words! I've been hard at work with a CK3 video + some other surprise content, it will all drop this month and I hope the wait is worth it. Cheers!
if you’re a reader, the book Everfair is literally about the Congo discovering their natural resources during the colonial period and using them to crush the belgians and form a free state. it’s a great book
@Deadpoppin L, objectively not true. Declining birth rates happen because of better economic opportunities, access to sexual education/protection, and better education. Wonder why Africa has such a high birth rate? Because Europe spent a century fucking it over 24/7, then "freed" them, then went back to fucking them, except now they get a day off
"While separatists were stripped of their lives and became statistics." 5:07 I laughed so hard at this. Thank you. You write the most hilarious content.
This entire campaign just being the Kongolese being so offended about the Belgians wanting them to become christian that they defeat multiple european great powers is just beyond hilarious
@@mackermate8475 I think he is talking about “the great replacement” conspiracy theory. Or I could just be being cynical and he did confuse it with Bahrain
Great video but one of the first Kongolese missions give you free Feudalism. It was very odd seing you developing it and almost imediately forming Kongo lol
In Ck3, starting as a Dutch ruler in either starting date. make your way over to the middle east, convert to a zoroastrian faith, get the Persian empire and become the zoroaster. All while keeping Dutch culture.
3:41-3:46 makes the introduction seem so surreal. Very well said Sir. Hmm, very well indeed. "Losing access to both their fleet and trade access to the ivory coast.". Good show.
You wanna know the really ironically funny part? The Kingdom of Loango wasn't integrated into the Belgian Congo but was actually one of the largest contributors to the territory of the FRENCH Congo. Funny ol' world.
That's true, I am actually happy to see someone has commented this before me. I wondered why he chose loango despite it being one of the first west coast kingdoms to fall into French hands, until I realised what their flag was
My favorite part of the month. Ik a lot goes into these video, im not being sarcastic. I love everything about these video, the production is great and it flows like telling a story. Keep it up AlzaboHD!
Watching this as a Belgian was pretty interesting :D. I agree on the fictional nation thing i would have preferd the name New Burgundy over the bastardised version of the Belgae Celts name.
I love every single one of your videos. I wish that the automated text creation of your ruler's achievements in EU4 was done in AlzaboHD style. Of course it would never reach the quality but if even a little bit would transfer people might actually start reading those texts.
I’m not an English native speaker and I know I miss a lot of references in your videos but I thank Fallout to allow me to get the bongo bongo bongo one
a intresting thing u can do in africa atm is start as mutapa and take over kongo then do the missions as mutapa to get the controled gold mines privilage and the ability to gain dev from buildings then form kongo to get the ability to get +10% discipline just from ur religion via the decisions that let u set a cult and make ur hair always get the same cult at 2x strenght after that u can then form and other country u want as kongo doing stuff like this u could potentually also form ethiopia (if they are reformable im not sure) just to get their unique units and goverment reform
Leopold II was a weird old man, we Belgians despise what he has done to our image. He was also crazy because he wanted to colonize the most random places, like PORTUGAL (just google it you'll have a good laugh)
Welp, gotta hand it to you Alzabo, not something I would have expected. but I thoroughly enjoyed it. You really have your finger on the pulse of these sorts of things. I give it two thumbs up. No YOUR jokes suck
I’ve never actually finished a game of EU4, I just never got the knack for it. Maybe I should reinstall. What’s the easiest beginner nation to begin as?
Castile is great, Id also recommend Portugal as well. Perfect geography leads to calm early game, can focus on colonization and development. Ottomans are also a good choice if you want a more war focused campaign. Goodluck!

How about a EU4 collab with *The Spiffing Brit* ? Your Strategy vs His Exploits will be a match worth the wait! A meme galore!
I love how that even with the massive discount, it's still priced at nearly $200.

Cool, now colonize the Netherlands as Majapahit

There's always something so satisfying in conquering land from Iberian colonizers as an African or other non-European nation.
Like the Ming colonial nations I made a few days ago.
Nah, i'd rather call it *disgusting*

@@crazyciler50 good to know.
this guy’s narration script is actually fire ngl…… dropping bars about colonization 😩
As a Belgian myself, I approve this video
You mean new Congolese? Belgium is a fiction.
Of course you do. You're already letting yourself get colonised irl
@@Tovalokodonc cringe
I love your style of let's plays.
Kongo feels unstoppable after you quickly conquer central Africa

Funny ol' world.
Loango
Loango
Exactly, even today that region is the Republic of the Congo, while the Belgian part is the Democratic Republic of the Congo (earlier Zaire).
That's true, I am actually happy to see someone has commented this before me. I wondered why he chose loango despite it being one of the first west coast kingdoms to fall into French hands, until I realised what their flag was

Recently found your channel then you disappeared glad to see your back!
You almost had all of Belgium, but you're still missing a couple of provinces. You did manage to get Flanders though.
Wallonia will rise again!
Loango is an anagram of Angola and the old Kongo is in Angola
yeah. one day I will become biafran emperor and reorganize the continent
your narritve is soothing.
You are very witty, I appreciate the way you annunciate the words that alliterate, your fine rhymes and your puns make fathers across the world blush
Anyone else wanna see this go until the 1800s? I wanna see the Congolese blob
Missed these puns! Welcome back!
Watching this as a Belgian was pretty interesting :D. I agree on the fictional nation thing i would have preferd the name New Burgundy over the bastardised version of the Belgae Celts name.
I prefer Zuid-Nederland
you mean new Congo?
I prefer France-des-Flandres
i'm from Liege, fuck Burgundy ! >_

All these AlzaboHD movies about EU4 are Shakespearean Epic Dramaturgy
Wake up babe, new AlzaboHD vid just dropped
Finally, some quality content before the weekend! Love it!
“With you friends”…
I’m not an English native speaker and I know I miss a lot of references in your videos but I thank Fallout to allow me to get the bongo bongo bongo one
"Decolonial Bookooloo" I laughed too hard at this. 😂
This is the good timeline.
Worst*
Save Scumming, Sponsored by Paradox. Love it.
"King Loango Congo no furthur". Great pun!
*Mountain General voice:* “Bongo bongo…
HERE COMES THE CONGO.”
I can't not read the thumbnail as From Kongo to Bongo
Time to collect some Belgian hands.
Can't believe that you're rhyming skills is as good as your humor.
**Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo) Intensifies**
"Bongo bongo bongo, i don't want to leave the Congo"
some random qoute that i remembered

Wow!
I never thought EU4 could be so realistic
PRAYS THE GODS YOU'RE BACK HAHAHA I used to fall asleep with your voice dude.
I’m a staunch anti-colonialist but reverse colonialism now that’s something
Oh wow. Wouldn't expect such stinking liberal 🤡s here.

The wordplay is on point
8:55 Wonderfully said. You are forgiven for the mishap at 8:48.

This is so fucking good.

I expected Habsburgs in CK3 but this is good too.
Love your videos!

Best thing about a Belgian colonial puppet: You don't even have to make up artificial ethnicities to devide them!

So many puns! I love it
5:03-5:08 doesn't make much sense to me. "They were stripped of their autonomy and became FREE states.". Rather ironic, no?
Kongo free state, search it up
Good job!!
I've tried this before!
Managed to get Portugal but not Belgium. :(
12:29 I quite like this.
Such beautiful poetry
