LETSSS GOOOOOOOOO this is probably my favorite series every year and I thank you so much that you're doing it again. May the Rat dynasty of last years campaign live on and I hope this one turns out as epic as years past.
My moment of glory. If anyone remembers ISP asking what he should do for his mega campaign, my suggestion was exactly what he did here. I choose to believe I inspired him.
I want to thank you for all of the entertainment you have brought myself and others over the years. You have honestly (and embarrassingly) had a large impact on my life. Thanks to your content introducing me to map games, I was able to discover my love for geography. Because of this, I graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree in Geography two days ago. So thanks again for all the laughs, and I look forward to seeing what comes next!
Omg yes! I just finished rewatching all of your previous grand-cam-mega-pains (because nothing else brings me joy in this life) and here comes a new one, great!
Let's goooooooooooooooooo!!!!! The highlight of my year. I already know how long it will feel when the campaign is over. I hope this tradition sticks for many years to come
- Comes to power in western France - Decides it's awful and leaves for Italy - Pillages the Vatican multiple times - Outlives the Great Pox - Refuses to elaborate or die - Founds a dynasty that will completely dismantle the Catholic Church
>Spends entire life Terrorising the Mediterranean >Outlives his own heir >nearly burns Constantinople to the ground >One-legged Lunatic >Tries to Kill the Pope >Refuses to explain his actions >Dies A true Chad if there ever was one
Honestly amazed there isnt bronze age to fall of rome era Paradox game. Going from Mesopotamia and Egypt through Alexander all the way to 400AD would be such a cool experience. If a very long one.
@Wide Eyes our knowledge on even recent history can be spotty, so its not much of a fault. Whether or not it sold well is dependent on mechanics and game design
@@skullyboi1215 He's had 3 mega campaigns with CK3 so far. It came out in 2020 and he played it that year. He's made a video on his dislike of Vic3, something he didn't do for CK3.
Dunno if you're already recording eu4, but I think you should swap all the catholic lands to orthodox and say that the great schism got undone with the fall of the papacy, it may take out the reformation wars from eu4, but without a HRE, it doesn't matter all that much. I think it would make for a different and interresting game!
Judicatu sounds like Giudicato which if i'm not wrong used to be a form of local government in sardinia in the middle ages, evolved from the roman administration. So that is who was holding Byzantium. Very fun
Wild to say I've been a fan since waking the tiger. I think that was 2017. That was before you ever played Vicky 2, before ck3, and before all the antics. What a wild ride.
I gotta point out that when invading you never wanna land in your target because you get a penalty when you recently disembarked, land nearby and walk the army around until the little boat symbol beneath your army banner disappears, then you can at full strength.
Cool to finally see one of these as they come out, instead of as a conglomeration of all videos into one! In EU4 it would be cool if you took maybe one or two small colonies... Like a small island in the Caribbean and / or somewhere in south east Asia or Australsia. So for example maybe Jamaica and Borneo.... No particular reason I'm just thinking it would be fun going forward if you had a little foothold in all the major regions. Could be fun by the time you get to HOI4!
Talk about an entire saga in one episode of a four game journey. I can't imagine how the EU4 game is gonna go, let alone the rest of the Mega Campaign.
As a Roman, I would like to thank you for improving our infrastructure by burning it
Just like ancient times, huh?
@@saoghail9769 Just like the simulations!
Does that mean your father was a woman?
@@whirsch *_Fate Mordred has entered chat._*
@@pieceofschmidtgamer What?
Fun fact: in every ck3 video he’s recreating himself and how he has changed since the last ck3 video.
explains why theyre all insane
But he hasnt played as trotsky yet!
@@pollishion8394 I think that's self-explanatory, no?
Dang he's no longer Trotsky?
last time i saw him he looked like trotsky, what is going on here?!?!

Chad
Honestly, thats kind of impressive
“The Dwarf King of Naples”
> doesn’t hold Naples
> is a Duke
Pepe, Ratboy, Shang… what a roster isp has created. I hope our new viking friend lives up to these legends
E
Don't forget about King Fabiano "The Sword of Jesus"
I cannot wait to see where Chad's dynasty will take us.
E
Germanic France apparentelly
The Pope: you can't just take our land and dismantle us!!!!🤓🤓🤓🤓
The Chads: 🗿🗿🗿🗿
And then establishes a new religion. and kicks Catholicism in the bucket.
E
10:13
"Why won't he take off those damn sunglasses?"
well clearly its so Shang won't steal his eyeballs
yes
Jarl Chad of Chadder 'the Unrelenting', too Chad for death, 75 years on the throne, 92 years of life for a medieval viking king.
Since you saw your son on half and it is Christmas time you should give him his legs back as a gift, I am sure he will love it
and the arms too or an arm
What
Hah sawing his son in half was the gift
E
lol
France turning into Germany was not on my bingo board for this mega campaign lol
I love how the Irish are just taking over the top corner while noone was looking

Mega campaign! Yes!
This is the first 🥇
I haven't even watched yet but just glad you are still doing this even though it's so painful, gotta be my favourite annual series on RUclips
this consistency actually gave a sense of time for me.
Character creation is definitely one of the best parts of the mega campaign. He always makes the best characters.
I still affectionately refer back to Ratboy of the Rat Realm. That will never truly leave me.
Omg yes! I just finished rewatching all of your previous grand-cam-mega-pains (because nothing else brings me joy in this life) and here comes a new one, great!
I gotta say, when Chad was first created I wasn't expecting him to end up looking like stoner Gandalf by the end of the video.
3:00 the first ancestor of the Habsburgs
Haven't watched ISP in ages, got a strange sensation, clicked over and am treated with a new MEGA CAMPAIGN! God bless ISP
Doing my first mega campaign and your old megas inspired me to do so so thanks a bunch as I’m enjoying my game so far cheers
Now i am getting into the festive spirit when ISP uplaods his yearly MEGA campaign!!
Let's goooooooooooooooooo!!!!! The highlight of my year. I already know how long it will feel when the campaign is over. I hope this tradition sticks for many years to come
feels like it's been weeks since we saw Pepe the Great, looking forward to this one!
I feeling that this will end up as a viking roman empire
The character especially when he has on the hat reminds me of one of those Easter Island heads.
🗿🗿🗿🗿
NEW MEGA CAMPAGIN BABY LESSS GOOOO!!!!
MEGA CAMPAIGN TIME LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Spending 20+ game years going "yep any day now" and he just keeps living...you know like a CHAD
- Comes to power in western France
- Decides it's awful and leaves for Italy
- Pillages the Vatican multiple times
- Outlives the Great Pox
- Refuses to elaborate or die
- Founds a dynasty that will completely dismantle the Catholic Church
This is the most interesting outcome of a first episode of a Megacampaing™
I can't waaaaait
heck yeah and i literally just finished binge watching the other mega campaigns, such good timing!
>Spends entire life Terrorising the Mediterranean
>Outlives his own heir
>nearly burns Constantinople to the ground
>One-legged Lunatic
>Tries to Kill the Pope
>Refuses to explain his actions
>Dies
A true Chad if there ever was one
Love these types of vids
I know that these campaigns are a giant meme but you got to remember that recently disembarked penalty.
You just straight-up made Thorkell the Tall.
3:19 My guy looking like he’s gonna try to sell me bane of arthropods IV for 47 emeralds
I've been binging the other campaigns in preparation. So excited!
Ah, a proper Paradox game. Germany doesn't control Germany, Baghdad doesn't control Baghdad, and the map looks oh-so colorful!
In the books of Games of Thrones, Pepe became true targaryan heir and ate all baguets in seven kingdoms.
it's concerning how much your final ruler looks like the viking on the little shield thingy
Honestly amazed there isnt bronze age to fall of rome era Paradox game.
Going from Mesopotamia and Egypt through Alexander all the way to 400AD would be such a cool experience.
If a very long one.

I like how he is ok with CK3 but is keeping Vic2.
Could be cuz Vic 3 doesnt have converters yet or just because he dislikes vic 3
Vic 3 doesn't have converters yet
yeah sure, no converters is the reason
...i'm sure
Probably the lack of converters, Vic 3 gets better like every week
@@skullyboi1215 He's had 3 mega campaigns with CK3 so far. It came out in 2020 and he played it that year. He's made a video on his dislike of Vic3, something he didn't do for CK3.
Your videos have made my day for years! Thank you.
The Royal Flex Tape should fix Little Timmy right up!
This has been my favorite start in ck3 forever!!!

Extra cursed knowing that the byzantine emperor became coptic apostolic in the end of the game for some reason
16:23 there are many wacky shenanigans I expect from an isp ck3 game, but the "delicious face of Jesus" startled me.
No character will ever be as great as Pepe was. It's just a fact.
Greetings from Sardinia, the Italian region where this pain of a campaign is the focus of.
Judicatu sounds like Giudicato which if i'm not wrong used to be a form of local government in sardinia in the middle ages, evolved from the roman administration. So that is who was holding Byzantium. Very fun
Now to rewatch all the previous mega campaigns
This dude walks into a tavern and the barmaid asks “why the long face?”
Thank you ISP for always bringing me joy with your videos, so excited so see in what whacky way history will be rewritten in this years mega campain.
The best series returns!
he should call these megacampains megacamPAIN
Wooo! Mega campaign is finally back:)
Yessssss, I am so ready for this years mega campaign
The sunglasses look absolutely terrifying when Chad's in the bottom left of the screen
23:44 Hot Fuzz references! 👍 YESSS!!! A grrrrreat big bushy beaaaard
The chad so chad that he grew his own sunglasses before sunglasses were even invented.
3:09 bro really went 🗿
I'VE BEEN WAITING AN ENTIRE FUCKING YEAR FOR THIS!! WOO FUCKING HOOO AWESOME!
Love it! Thank you for doing another mega campaign.
Wild to say I've been a fan since waking the tiger. I think that was 2017. That was before you ever played Vicky 2, before ck3, and before all the antics. What a wild ride.
Gravy Father, why have you put us in the floor?
Everytime I see that starting character, I can't help but imagine that the only way he communicates is in those Minecraft Zombie sounds...
I always look forward to the mega campaign. Great start to another epic saga!
Isp just made the Barbarian invasion but a bit more chad
Insane idea: Multiplayer Mega Campaign
I gotta point out that when invading you never wanna land in your target because you get a penalty when you recently disembarked, land nearby and walk the army around until the little boat symbol beneath your army banner disappears, then you can at full strength.

"We're just like you, but italian" lmao
You... you've chosen Haesteinn and you made another character ?
I'm pretty sure this is heresy !
I find it funny that he beat up the Byzantines so badly they became Apostolic, which is the Armenian church.
YES
ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN
6:30 I like to think when naming his child chad went: der uhhh he chad uh son
And everyone took that as his name
this has came out for my birthday , this is the best gift i've ever had . i mostly never get anything considering we can barely afford bread.
Finalyyy mega campaign!!! i survived this year for this moment
I always look forward to this every year.
23:36 That Looks Like Bo
On the first day of Christmas my Sorrow gave to me, a mega campaign episode
chadderson sounds like a scnadinavian type of cheese
A Viking adopting Mediterranean Culture. My man really out here pulling a reverse Kratos.
This is one of the most batshit insane mega campaign starts I've seen.
Ah yes the great Empire of ᛉᚺᚨᛞvᛁᚲ
We need more ck3 content.
It is truly the Christmas season now
Finally a new mega campaign:)
My dude just recreated Dankus in all of his glory
I'm a proud subscribed gravy timmy
