Hey, can you attain the mandate of heaven in china as Yemen Socotra, I would love that! I Haven't been in this channel for a year so I'm exited that you have more videos
What a madlad. I've been avoiding trying for the "Mother of us all" archivement because it seems like a chore, but the things this person puts himself thru is shaming me to do it.
Honestly, it wasn't that bad. Aside from the false start I had when Daurama randomly died very young, I was able to get the achievement on my first attempt. Granted, I did it pre-Royal Court so I'm not sure if it's any easier or harder now, but as long as you keep expanding and reasonably managing your realm, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. The biggest challenges you'll face are the Muslim nations in North Africa and Iberia, and potentially Byzantium if they start expanding onto the continent. But those are the countries you save for last, after you've already consolidated your power everywhere else and conquered your weaker neighbors. Once you have Africa itself secured, it then simply becomes a waiting game as you convert en masse. Mendicant Preachers is an OP tenet to have when you reform the religion, so I recommend that at the very least.
@@AlzaboHD I think a good way to increase chances might be getting the ability to have 2 schemes and kidnapper, so while commiting the murders you could also find and kidnap lowborn people with good traits and start a robust breeding program mass culling parents of good children. Further bonus you also have a sizable population of potential vassels who would be good at there jobs
I'm glad adoption is in the game now as an option for situations like this. It happened historically, (though usually it was more like uncles adopting nephews rather than commoners) and for a desperate infertile king or emperor with no family, doesn't it just make sense? I remember reading CK2 forum threads full of people vehemently against adding an adoption mechanic.
I think it's good it is not too easy to do because a lot of the game is properly siring offspring for stats. But random events is a great way of getting through it I'd say
To be fair, the greatest prosperity the Romans experienced was under a nearly entirely adoptive line (Nerva-Antonine) save for Trajan and Hadrian being distant cousins, and Commodus being Marcus Aurelius' son - though we can see how that turned out. The phrase "Great men rarely raise great sons" rings true historically, which is why I guess adoption wasn't really frowned upon.
You should have named Neo-Bactria along the Indus the realm of Yavanas in the style of the Greco-Indo kings of yester year, who were named by their Indian subjects as the Greatest of the Ionians
I got an event where 2 vassals argue who between them could marry a girl and my Munis married her. She was lustful and when I was nearly dead she finally gave me an heir after a few daughters.
I didn’t think I’d ever be publicly commenting this, but the majority of eunuchs can still, uh, get it up, they just can’t have children. Historically it wasn’t full castration.
@@S.Solmazturk I think how they did it depended upon the historical context and reason for castration. Some was punishment, some was for ensuring guards couldn’t impregnate royal women, some was for ‘artistic’ reasons (like singing), etc.
It also depends on castrating boys before or after puberty. To recieve singers with powerful, but also high pitched voices europeans used to cut them before puberty, if i am not mistaken those boys would also seldom develop a libido. If you wanted a lust- servant however, you would wait until after puberty, as those eunuchs still experience libido.
You asked us at the end for someone else to try it, so I did. (Well you didn’t, but said it was really hard so I took it as a challenge) Here is the little story of my game as Mu’nis. I started off with a Stewardship character who was Forgiving, Sadistic, and something else, Arrogant I believe. I started off going around capturing territory all over the place, getting the duchy of Bazin and some random island near Yemen that also was a duchy. I then went to capture Cyprus. (the Byzantine part had been captured by the Caliph earlier while the Romans were in France dealing with Vikings) After gathering together the land I declared independence from my liege, establishing myself as Emir of Bazin. I then sat there for a while, lost the island in Yemen to my previous liege because I defended us during the Crusade and lost my army while he sat there and watched. But I still had two duchies, so I make the Kingdom of Cyprus regardless. I then sat there trying to desperately get some lowborn child to be born for me to orphan. It took 7 years in game for ONE child to be born, and they were female. So I had to wait longer and longer until Mu’nis was about 71 when a male courtier was born. I then offed his parents, but got the event that I would be dead in a year. The court could only be held in half a year from then. And when it finally happened. It was a fucking female. It rolled a random lowborn orphan from one of my vassals. (I gave away some tribal territories) This orphan girl was also delicate, meanwhile her orphan brother was Herculean (no I am not joking) and the other boy was quick. I screamed for a bit, then something clicked. Religion. I can switch to another religion to make them eligible as an heir. But I was about 500 piety short. So I went on a pilgrimage, and hoped. I got an event that gave me 100 piety and was still alive at the end of the pilgrimage. I then switched to some religion I dunno the name of. And my heir was set. Mu’nis then proceeded to die two days later. This took about 6 attempts, and I’d ballpark it at 16 hours of work. Sorry for ranting. Tl:dr Takes absolutely forever to get event, gives female character to be heir, switches religion to make her eligible two days before death.
Hey Alzabo, i dare you to do a challenge i'm currently doing. from a random empire in Siberia (Or Siberia itself). And make attempt to make it the most well developed, most prosperous land in all of the old world.
Fun fact: Munis is slang for vagina in Greek. And based on the fact that in this playthrough Munis was a regular at the brothel, you could say he really was what he ate ;)
Been thinking of a challenge where you attempt to create slavia by taking the Unite the west slavs, unite the east slavs, and then unite the slavs decisions. Whilst doing this you also take the Defenders of Dievas, Defenders of Rod and Defenders of Ukko decisions to create a grand holy slavic pagan empire.
Like the video, I liked the story of Alderic, and orphaned Frenchman taken in by the strongest man in india, tho the pause after "eunuchs like clapping cheeks" was something else
I wish adoption was a proper decision you could take as an infertile ruler. Like if a sibling died you could adopt their kids, or you could trigger the game to spawn a lowborn orphan instead of waiting for the RNG to give you one. It would make same-sex marriage a lot more viable, among other things.
@@CatchTheMarmosets Well there is an Eunuch, Bactic Greek Emperor of the Gayostrastian Faith in former Persia/India lol... Same sex MArriage is REALLY tame compared to that! Several Rulers historically all but practiced it in certain cultures and with CK3 giving you the option to reform the most ridiculous faiths and cultures its utterly stupid that it would fail in the department of "the game mechanics make getting a non-biological Heir all but impossible" But thats also a fun idea... Start off in Siberia, form a hybrid culture and religion that legalizes or enforces gay marriage, then or while doing it form an Empire and fight off the Mongol invasion while with each new Ruler going through this fucked up game of breeding and murdering Commoners into triggering the Event lol.
I belive Romans have Adoption tenants that put the childnin your house. I dont remember the requirements to have it as a tenant but also super hard to accomplish in one life
Can someone explain what all those murders did at the beginning? Do they just destabilize so you can form a faction with more fellow vassals to join in?
Your rhymes and puns are the best. Best part of your videos. Then, of course, there's your audacious challenges that few people would try. Great work! I don't understand why adoption isn't much of an option in CK. It should be.
I legitimately wondered about adoption in ck3 and why it wasn’t a decision the player could make in specific circumstances. I get that it could be abused by being able to get tons of kids easily, but at the same time it would make sense from a RP perspective.
I know this is long ago. now in the new dlc, the hunts are more complex, although I can't even reach a lot of them in time. so I guess it's good to have many vassals near you then take a new land somewhere else. there is a new event where you find a wild boy (feral, +10 prowess which he loses later) also dull -2 to all and not sure if it's any variety but a medium prowess from the trait. you can then adopt him or just take into court or release. did a run with Haestein in Cagliari. Did the same before the update hit and had to abandon it because the changes ruined a few things. one change to Cagliari is that Iglesias is a new castle which holds the mine and at succession you always lose it, so better off moving the capital into the secondary castle (revoking is fine but reversely is better)
Hi Alzabo. Your voice is nothing short of enchanting! I was wondering where you were from? You seem to be genuinely good at different accents so I can’t figure out where you’re actually from!
been forgetting to comment sorry 🙏 still nothing but the absolute best from alzabo i keep rewatching your videos (even more so now that i suck much less at eu 4)
@@marcuswillbrandt5901 that's CK2. The video shows that ck3 has a fertility modifier of -100% for castrates. Wether that's also the number the code uses, I do not know.

AlzaboHD: YES
was so happy to see that lol
We don't deserve this many rhymes.
I actually do wonder which part takes longer, filming gameplay or writing the script?
Haha for this one certainly the gameplay! It took four attempts to get the RNG event - talk about a shlep! Thanks for watching.

Unless if you were Chinese
It was usually crushing the balls only. Some of the eunuchs actually healed completely and had children.

Perfection as always. Here's a CK3 challenge for you: Make a hybrid culture of the two cultures with the greatest distance between them on the map.
I like this challenge hope he makes a video about it.
Celto-Tamil culture
Hispano-Mongolian culture
Or the rarest with the second rarest (if its even possible, because the rarest isnt even in any of the start dates)
