Vikingboo is valid but you Koifish are full blown Haesteinboo
He truest is
But, is it that wrong
@@DemonKingBadger i never said it was
Not even death can stop Haestinn to appear on Koifish playthrough
Imagine you wanted to become a cool viking but the Pope said "Nah Bro becoming cool will cost you 139k Piety"
And then you respond by marrying a Viking and having her make you one instead.
a ruler of a german empire obsessed with ancient nords
this reminds me of someone but I can't quite put my finger on it
Whoever he is he is literally me

@@rapecelnationaliststarts with H and rhymes with Gritler
I don't think Hitler was obsessed with ancient Nords. He was obsessed with our old religion which is directly connected to the Norse gods. We just have different names for them.
@@EinDeutscherPatriot620 Something about ancient Nords being closest to the image of God (or the gods?) because they were white, pale haired, and blue eyed.
Why is no one talking about Koifish calling Kaiser Heinrich Kaiser Wilhelm 💀
(15:52) “This is Prince Ragnarr, and I will raise him as if he was my own, which he is, I hope!”
I can't, this is just too funny and so true for that time. Koifish is my absolute favourite CK3 RUclipsr. 😆
haestein is influencing the world even after his death he realy is the most legendary viking of all time
Every time you consecrate the bloodline, I join in with saying "HE'S A SAINT!?!?!"
Doesn’t Freya travel in a chariot pulled by cats? IT’S A SIGN!
Not my cats, they wouldn't do squat.
Yup. It's a whole thing with that lady 😂😂😂
@@EinDeutscherPatriot620 so, she takes crazy cat lady to a whole nother level
@@DemonKingBadger yes! So much so that it actually inspired fishermen and Vikings from the 800s and before with Pagan Saxons to actually bring a cat with them while sailing, since it brought good luck and fair winds 🤣🤣🤣 I can only think how terrified and insane those cats must have been when they went sailing through a storm 😂
@@EinDeutscherPatriot620 depends on the cat maybe. One of my late cats was kind of ehh when hearing thunder (when inside anyway). Though, those old boats might not be helpful.
Note: when outside, well nothing sadder and funnier than a wet cat meowing at the door.
'Reads Title'
Of course you did Koifish, who is actually surprised?
At this point, I just waiting for Haestein to Isekai to Middle Earth, look at Sauron and go "Challenge Accepted.".
Complete with Elven and Uruk Concubines because It wouldn't be Haestein if he didn't.
your videos shows really well how vikings are one of the few people to be flashed out in ck3.
LETS GOOO ( KOIFISH SCREAM OF BATTLE)
HE'S A SAINT?!
It's pretty fun to play heinrich just after your last video's run
32:12 YESSSSS. IT'S BEEN A FREAKING WHILE, KOIFISH
A country: Exists
Koifish: "VIKING??"
I know you're swedish but you should conquer scandinavia as Finland
Amazing video as usual Count Koifish
"the dead god could not portect them after all"
Savage 🔥
This is my favourite video so far! Love the way you believably lost it over Ragnarr the First :D
Awesome play through!
Germanic paganism is coming home!
Its almost impossible to achieve a rank 4 in your pilgrimage, not unless you save scum or go on a massively long pilgrimage with a custom route!
I'm less than two minutes in and I am already loving how cursed and amazing this is. 😃
You should have rerouted your pilgrimage, you can pass through multiple holy sites in a single pilgrimage and you can get loads of lifestyle experience by passing through certain cities and capitals
And walking gives more events so you get the bar higher for a better pilgrimage
Great Video !
I'd love to see you try the A.E.I.O.U Hapsburg achievement, but with as little murder as possible. You can do it purely through piety and complete it within 30 years.
Amazing intro I love it please churn out more content Koifish
Great content!
Damn, I need a motivational speech from Ghost Haesteinn. . .
This is quality CK3 content
Best video ever koifish🙂👍
very cool!
Bro the narrative that is thrown out before you can start playing I love this guy he's so me. 2:00
It's like watching The Santa Clause, but instead of being possessed by the spirit of Santa, he's being possessed by and turned into Haesteinn
Still waiting for the next Haesteinn dynasty video
Bruuuuh 😂🎉I love that channel
The Holy Viking Empire!!!
Koifish are you going to do the Haesteinn dynasty play through again?
fine episode
Catholic norse people were usually still considered viking tho, Harald Hardrada was the official last one
Yeah but lets be real, its Not real Viking when you dont sacrifice your captives in a blōt
His death is considered by historians to be the end of the Viking age, but should he be considered a Viking? He wasn’t constantly stealing other people’s stuff. His attempt to seize Denmark and England are based on claims that he inherited as the heir to his half nephew Magnus. As a half brother to Saint Olaf, he had a claim on Norway. Sweyn Forkbeard showed up in England to conquer it, possibly using the murder of his sister as pretext. I could go on with some other examples of what true Vikings did.
Koifish is CK3 genius
This one is fun but I was wondering if you’ve given up on the Haesteinn dynasty series?
Koifish saying "long-axe" instead of "Dane-axe" because he knows the Danes are superior and it tears him apart
This video inflicted 22 points of sanity damage upon me.
1:55 "Kaiser Wilhelm", not sure about that...
Best wishes
Man, Haesteinns ghost possessed the Kaiser 🤣
Better than netflix documentaries
Only 28 views, I've never been so early
Can you continue this video and conquer more land?
1:01 based koifish ;)
Why play as Haesteinn when you can BECOME him?
Koifish needs help. He needs an intervention to save him from his Haestein addiction.
Oh yeah, finally, Hænstein 2
I was so ready for this video to derail into a murder mystery, justice for Prince Ragnarr and his awful haircut
Kaiser Wilhelm 🤓
Hellenic challenge?
Speaking of the leveled lifestyle traits, do you or anyone else here know how to level the wise (wo)man trait?
You’ll get the occasional event option that’s linked to the trait (example: character gets ill on the way to a pilgrimage, having Wise Man gives a unique option). These options normally give a very large amount of trait experience (think 60+).
It’s annoying but it’s there
HE'S A SAINT
How do you get the CK3 characters to make certain expressions and gestures and scenes and stuff? It's also kinda sad that you can't annex or buy/trade lands between rulers. That'd be much better than having to go to war. It's too tedious. 😫
Also, maybe I'm being nitpicky, but I think Romano-Norse would've been better. Technically, it would've been Teutonic-Norse.
i'm gonna play the Holy roman Empire, 10min later, Haesteinn is back boys
Nah Bro really said Kaiser Wilhelm
The empire became truly holy and truly Roman
Used to do this with Charlemagne in CK2 lmao.
20:50 What Armour is that?

HAESTING WAS IN A MOVIE!!!"Jarl Hastein is a recurring character in Bernard Cornwell's The Saxon Stories novels, as a former ally and then opponent of Uhtred of Bebbanburg. In the television adaptation The Last Kingdom he is played by Norwegian actor Jeppe Beck Laursen.
The character of Halfdan the Black in Vikings, portrayed by Finnish actor Jasper Pääkkönen, is a composite of Hastein and the historical Halfdan the Black.
Jarl Hastein is the main protagonist in C.J. Adrien's popular trilogy of novels titled The Saga of Hasting the Avenger, about Hastein's supposed early life (using the French spelling of the name, 'Hasting').
Jarl Hastein appears in the popular "Crusader Kings" video game series, first appearing in Crusader Kings II The Old Gods DLC "Viking Age" era and again in Crusader Kings III as a highlighted character to play during "The Great Adventurers" start.
Jarl Hastein also appears in the fictional series The Strongbow Saga written by Judson Roberts." -wikipedia

I still find it funny how you convert from one faith to another one by being a devout follower until for some reason you're pious enough to dump your religion in favor of one you've never practiced before.
Yeah that is stupid as hell and makes these ones highly unrealistic, that anybody follows the nutter that went on pilgrimages for one religion, only to convert to an unrelated faith.
Couldnt one convert to Kusarism and convert cheaper?
FIRST🎉
yes
Make haestinn marry pope
The success of the Roman army was their organization, discipline, rigid training, and their arsenal of weapons and armor. However, there was one weakness to their armor and the shields that they used, known as the Falx Sword.
The Falx Sword is a one or two-handed weapon with a sickle-like single-edged blade made for very powerful slashing attacks by the ancient Dacians and Thracians. In this article, we will discuss its types, characteristics, history, and how it caused the Romans to change their armor.
Falx was a Roman or Latin term that means sickle, and in sources, it could sometimes be used to refer to the Falx sword, Sica, Rhomphaia, or any type of instrument resembling a sickle. It was also used to describe the Roman grappling hook that was used to take down buildings. Despite that, the Falx sword has its own unique look and is generally grouped into two types.
One Handed
The one-handed Falx sword is smaller than the two-handed and is often confused with the Sica, but they are different weapons. It has a handle that offers a very stable grip and a blade that starts to curve naturally between the middle of the guard and the mid-point.
Two-Handed
Falx swords are usually placed in the group of two-handed weapons since it is most commonly used by Dacian warriors holding it with two hands. The two-handed type of Falx has a straight blade and then starts to curve at the midpoint and forms a sickle-like end at the blade’s tip. This type of Falx is usually confused with the Rhomphaia of the Thracians.
A version of the two-handed Dacian Falx is also made with a very large handle but a shorter blade. These types were heavily used by under-armored rushing Dacian warriors that could pierce and cut through the unprepared Romans with multiple strikes at once.
Characteristics of the Falx Sword
The ancient Falx sword’s strongest and most visual characteristic is the scythe or sickle-like element throughout its blade length. It has a very curved blade, and unlike the Japanese Katana, which is sharpened on the outer edge, the Falx is usually razor-sharp on the inner part of the blade.
Blade
The blade of the one- or two-handed Falx is curved, has a sickle-like shape, and is made of iron or steel. It doesn’t start to radically curve from one point like the Sica. Instead, it starts somewhere from the midpoint and between the guard. This curve gradually gets stronger as it reaches the blade’s sharp tip, which renders it a slashing and thrusting weapon.
Some versions of the Falx are much larger and resemble a polearm. These are strictly used as two-handed weapons, and their curve starts in the middle of the blade, allowing it to strike the Roman legionary’s shield.
Because there are different types of lengths for the Falx, the blade length could also vary but is generally in the range of 15 to 43 inches (40 to 110 cm).
Guard
The Falx sword has a very small circular or round guard, and in some cases is without one completely. The Adamclisi Monument, in Romania, commemorating Roman Emperor Trajan’s victory over the Dacians, has a very small guard that sticks out on only one end of the handle.
These types of guards on the Falx aren’t made for the protection of incoming attacks but for providing a stopping point for the hands during offensive moves.
Handle
The Falx sword has a very distinct type of handle. It can be either shorter and used primarily with one hand and a shield or much longer to be strongly grasped with two hands. There are instances of smaller Falx blades with the same length as their handles. The most commonly used material in manufacturing the weapon was wood, horn, and bone.
The length of the handle of the Falx sword is between 8 and 15 inches (20 to 40 cm). If it is a larger handle, it will feature a two-handed ridge in the middle of it for a better grasp of each hand.
Weight
Considering this weapon was feared by the Roman Empire for its ability to cut through their shields and helmets, it is fairly light in weight. The most common weight of the Falx sword is 1.7 to 4.4 lbs (0.8 to 2 kg)
Length & Size
The Falx sword is generally seen as a large weapon used to cut through Roman shields and armor, but it could be found in smaller designs. The most common length for the sword is between 20 to 51 inches (50 to 130 cm).
Uses for the Falx Sword
The Falx sword is a weapon that is primarily used with two hands to deliver slashing motions. However, the smaller versions allow it to be used with only one arm. But its trademark is the ability to deliver both vertical and horizontal blows, along with its sharp tip that delivers thrusts.
It is a very light weapon that offers fast strikes but isn’t well known for providing much defense. These attacking motions were used to take down enemy armor and shields, were used in daily agriculture.
Warfare & Combat
The best-known use for the Falx Sword was for warfare and combat, but it was especially known for its deadly strikes that could decapitate the enemy with its scythe blade shape.
Roman soldiers would often be caught off guard by the under-armored and fast Dacian warriors, who would easily defeat them. The shape of the blade would enable it to get caught on the shield, but at the same time, the curved blade’s tip would easily pierce through the soldier hiding behind it.
The Falx sword was also used for taking out the opponent by delivering blows to the legs.
Shield & Armor Destroyer
The many fatalities suffered by the Roman army led to the modification of their own weapons in hopes that they would offer better protection. Another big thing that was very terrifying is that the Falx sword was known to cut through the armor itself. A couple of precise strikes at the same time could easily crack armor in half, leading to the redesign of the Roman scutum shield.
Daily Activities
The Falx sword, along with many ancient sickle-like swords, were commonly used as everyday tools. It was used in farming and agriculture, bush clearing, and chopping trees for firewood. Today in Romania, a similar knife called Cosor is used by the nation’s farmers.
Modern
Today the Falx Sword is the main weapon used in almost every LARP (live-action roleplaying) event that depicts victorious Dacian Wars. It is a popular ancient sword, much like the Iberian Falcata, and can often be seen in modern media such as movies and video games.
This ancient sword makes a beautiful decoration piece, but owning a carbon steel Falx can prove very fun to try out on bottles or even wood for its powerful slashing capabilities.
History of the Falx Sword
After many excavations in modern Romania and the Carpathian Mountains, archeologists realized how important the role of metallurgy was for the Dacians. These experienced blacksmiths made many deadly weapons and useful farming tools.
The use of metallurgy allowed for the creation of long scythes, which is therefore considered being a North Thracian (modern northeast Balkans) invention in these regions which with time rose to be the trademark Falx weapon of the Dacians.
The Falx can be found in the sources of the Dacian wars, as well as coins and imperial monuments like Trajan’s column. The rarity of the various archeological sites can also be explained by the fact that they were substantial war loot or prize taken by Roman soldiers.
The origin of the Falx sword stems from daily agriculture, presumably in 2nd century Romania and some say it was influenced by the earlier Thracian Sica or Rhomphaia. It was also exported to many regions, such as Celtic, Sarmatian, and German regions.
It became one of the most successful weapons the Dacians utilized against the Romans because of its ability to shatter armor.
One reported modification to Roman armor due to an encounter with the falx was the new reinforced heavier Roman lobster tail helmet, with its cheek protection pads. The armor used to protect the arms was also added and used by gladiators to protect their hands. The scutum shield became more curved with metal edges, aiding soldiers in the Conquest of Dacia.
Conclusion
One of the most recognizable objects from antiquity is the renowned Falx sword, created by the brave Dacian warriors. As a strong weapon that temporarily weakened and crushed through the armor of Roman legionaries, owning one now should be on the wish list of any sword enthusiast.
I recommend following the most important Pagan tradition: converting to Christianity.
