Abandon war and embrace "PEACE" today with the Tours & Tournaments DLC: play.crusaderkings.com/Alzabo. Thank you to Paradox Interactive for sponsoring today's video!
LITERAL absolute queen, lived her best life. Kaisers of the world, find you a kaiserin like Ida. Expect, you know, with less of a body count. Preferably.
Ida Habsburg was the real MVP. From all the Habsburgs she was the Underdog. From the day she was born the world was cruel and scheming against her. At the end she saved her dynasty from the brink of extinction and left behind an impressive legacy.
This campaign is a pure (might I say, blue-blooded?) example of why you should continue a campaign even if it goes horrifically wrong. The stories out the other side are just incredible!
I love it when Alzabo make video with cool story like this. It's impressive how Ida went from being an abused child with all odds against her, to becoming one of the greatest Kaiserin not only of the Habsburg dynasty, but the entire Europe.
I really wanted to do this kind of campaign since the first time i played this game, but i'm too stupid to understand even the game's basic mechanics, let alone juggling between diplomacy and intrigue. Seeing this campaign is truly a dream come true. Really looking forward to part 2 😄
This is amazing, Mr. Alzabo, for the Habsburgs being in charge of HRE in our own timeline, but in this alternate timeline, they're the ones who rule the HRE through schemes, manipulation, and torture anybody gets in their way of power even if it includes their family members. Empress Ida reminds me of Queen Victoria, for she and Victoria had some tragic childhoods. The difference between Ida and Victoria; is that Ida lost her father, and her mother became regent but abused her as a child resulting in Ida becoming a villainess tyrant of her upbringing and gaining revenge for the person who caused her pain by having her killed. For Victoria, her father, Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, had died before he could impact her life, and some sources are saying Prince Edward would have been the parent Victoria needed if he survived the disease that killed him. Her mother, Princess Dowager Victoria, was very protective towards her daughter as she and the secretary Conroy made the Kennington system to make Victoria dependent on them. The Dowager Princess feared for her daughter's life because most relatives wanted the future heir thrown out of the picture. Unlike Ida, Victoria did not become a wicked person but a great Queen for her kingdom, but as a mother. Sorry if I compare the two, I wasn't trying to be offensive, but this video reminds me of Queen Victoria. But this is an excellent video, and I would like to see a part two. No matter what obstacles keep coming your way, always stay true to your dreams, for your goals and objectives are yours alone, not anybody's.
Sounds as peacefully as that game where you stab the king on the back and you take the crown and you have to stop everyone from murdering you back, It's a cool mechanic Factions should have more power, like they could declare that your family is not allowed to visit them or travel trough their land. Or that the game punishes you for making the same character over and over again, like gaining stress if you repeat the same things your father did, and if everyone hates an event fires where people gain piety by capturing your character. Imagine a Casus belis of imprisoning someone because they murdered their family members, and then your vassals get mad at you and they force your dynasty to get Exiled.
I don't know if you read my comment from one of your CK3 videos in the past suggesting a video pretty similar to this one. I really enjoyed this playthrough!
The new Habsburg achievement I require some clarification: It says Don't wage war. What does this mean? No offensive wars? No defensive wars? How about Alliance wars? I have alliances but I keep rejecting the call to war, because I don't know if it will lock me out of the achievement. It says Don't wage war. So my best guess is absolutely no wars at all. Maybe not even peasant uprisings. I hope it only means no offensive wars that you initiate.
Only offensive wars in fact! If you check in game in the achievements tab you can select "possible achievements for this game" and AEIOU was always possible for me. The game didn't consider my defensive wars or faction claims as wars. So you should be good!
@@AlzaboHD Thanks for that clarification. It matches what I would have suspected, since faction claim wars technically are defensive wars - you just "peacefully" present your totally sensible demands to your liege and ask him to agree and in return your liege declares war on you. That's also why the kidnap/imprison trick works with faction claim wars. You can't usually declare war on a ruler that you already have imprisoned, it only works because the liege is the one who declares the war in response to your demands.
Dang! This was a thrilling story. Is there a sequel, I wonder? I'm eager for that catfight! 😍 Also, I almost started sweating because it looked like you were going to lose for a moment there. Just goes to show that the more evil you do, the more evil gets done to YOU in return. The game was NOT merciful towards you. lol 🤣
i certainly didn't expect half of a video playing as the Hapsburgs to be about a girlboss gaslighting and gatekeeping "it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."
Nice video but I think there's a bait and switch announcement at the very beginning. The AEIOU achievement necesitate to form the archduchy of Austria. Which means you can't be of higher status than duke and the emperor has to be of a different dynasty than yours in order to trigger the decision. It's quite more difficult than brute forcing your ass into the emperor seat. I tried a few times and it's really tricky.
Whenever a new AlzaboHD video hits the youtube algorithm (or my subscription box for that matter) I know I am in for a good time (especially with CK3, but personal preference I guess). As an Austrian though I can not forgive you for making Linz the capital, even most people here hate that ugly shithole. Also if you ever want some guidance on the pronunciation of some of the german / austrian terms feel free to reach out, even though I d argue that that the butchering of names from other languages is the Alzabo special. Grats on the great video, keep 'em comming.
Yeah, I don't regret disabling most stress related events. Having each emperor assume power with level 3 stress is bullshit, a spiral of stress that you cannot erase.
You technically do wage a war. When you claim the title of Emperor of the HRE, and the liege refuses, you start a war as an attacker. Sure, the war ends on the first day, since the defender (the Liege) is in prison, but you're still the attacker, so the achievement wouldn't have fired. If it were to fire in this situation, I'd smell a bug.
If you find this interesting, I have an idea for a future CK3 story idea. What do you think about doing a story of an Indo-Roman Empire with the Newalkar Dynasty unified India and expanding outside India, and forming an alliance with the Byzantines against the might of the Seljuk Turks by having one of the sons married to a Byzantine Princess. What else would be interesting for this story idea is that the Byzantine Senate selected the Marahaj of Jhansi to become Byzantium Emperor and combined India and the ERE ( Eastern Roman Empire) into a mighty empire that would expand into South Asia and Eastern Europe. And making alliances with the Western catholic kingdoms, bringing Italy back into Romans' imperial control, and being crowned Roman Emperor by the Pope. What do you think of this idea, AlazboHD? A great idea to do, and if you're confused about who the Newalakars are, I would kindly give some information links about them, and if you want, you can choose which Indian dynasty would be best to rule Rome and India? What about the Mughals? The Mughals are an excellent choice for this story idea.
Challenge idea : Convert and reform the hellenic faith with a viking ruler Help: you can change the faith doctrines LOVE YOU❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 EDIT!!: CAN YOU SHOW THIS COMMENT IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO😢😢😢 EDIT2: you should have the head of faith title to complete the challenge😅😅

LOL being erradicted in Pakistan. LOL:
@Yvone Tubla el otro yo.
Its already got 10k
10K is real
Ida's story sounds like something out of a novel, absolutely insane how she went from an abused child to a vengeful empress of half the known world.
someone should write a novel like this. i would pay to read
@@Katay-jc7nz Karen Miller's Godspeaker trilogy has a character like that, though she's only the focus of the first book.
Nice pfp cohort
LITERAL absolute queen, lived her best life. Kaisers of the world, find you a kaiserin like Ida.
Expect, you know, with less of a body count. Preferably.
@@sharkodile22 You know she's a girlboss when you aren't sure what kind of body count is being talked about
Habsburgs truly are the shining pinnacle of human evolution, not only can they use their chins as spoons but they can unite the world peacefully!
Truly the MOST dynasty of the medieval world
peaceful... yes no offensive wars, but the rest *shivers*.
Pretty sure revocation war is an act of aggression.
@@Njuregen[cue Pope barking]
Alzabo: ''We'll be uniting the world peacefully!''
the Wallachians:
Werner wanted to defend his way into heaven, those were only peacekeepers. Nothing to see here!
@@AlzaboHD A crusade against the Wallachians? No, just a special pilgrimage to the holy lands.
That was only a special pilgrimage operation
Ida Habsburg was the real MVP. From all the Habsburgs she was the Underdog. From the day she was born the world was cruel and scheming against her. At the end she saved her dynasty from the brink of extinction and left behind an impressive legacy.
With a trail of corpses her great grandfather Werner would be proud of
This campaign is a pure (might I say, blue-blooded?) example of why you should continue a campaign even if it goes horrifically wrong. The stories out the other side are just incredible!
16:04 "Heretics were assassinated until they accepted a religion of peace!"
You just gained my subscription.
"Using peaceful means like marriage, murder and manipulation"
Peace in our time 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Underated comment
I love it when Alzabo make video with cool story like this. It's impressive how Ida went from being an abused child with all odds against her, to becoming one of the greatest Kaiserin not only of the Habsburg dynasty, but the entire Europe.
Alzabo: "Only peace."
Also Alzabo: "Murder."
😂 thought the same
In crusader kings, those are not mutually exclusive 😂
I love how you went with the flow and RPed in this video. Ended up being a great story.
Werner simultaneously made his dynasty the strongest in Europe and paved the way for its eventually near total destruction.
I dont usually enojiy/watch ck3 but this vid was really nice. Entertainign and engaging. Loved Ida's story.
can we all agree that alzaboHD needs to get an asmr microphone so we can hear his silky smooth voice in top quality
Great video, keep up the good work!
1:42 was truly a dynasty shaking defeat
Came for Habsburgs, stayed for Ida
Always a happy had when Alzabo uploads
That was quite the arc, this was a fun one!
I really wanted to do this kind of campaign since the first time i played this game, but i'm too stupid to understand even the game's basic mechanics, let alone juggling between diplomacy and intrigue. Seeing this campaign is truly a dream come true. Really looking forward to part 2 😄
Ck2 and CK3 come up with great stories for various characters. It's very entertaining. ❤💯
Werner is looking up from hell at Ida with a single tear in his eye like "That´s my girl"
Thank you. Yes, please, give us episode 2.
After three weeks, I'm betting she WAS thanking him for finally coming. :p
"This One Proud Bavarian..."
I see what you did there
12:06 was that an Alice in Chains reference? Awesome video as always Alzabo!
Only just found this channel but I'm already in love with it
Peace! And murder...a LOT of murder.
6:04 real palpatine moment
Peak Alzabo
I don't speak Austrian
Wow I hope we get part 2
I loved the OneProudBavarian reference!
W content big dog always nice when ya upload 💯
Ah, of course peace. We loosen those terms to mean as we wish.
Indeed. But to be fair no offensive wars or CBs were used - only defensive
@@AlzaboHDCrusader for wallachia?Who am I
Y’all better like tf outta this, Alzabo drops nothin but heat and y’all know it
That was pretty neat! I'll be waiting a while to get the exp tho, some discounts will be nice.
Wow, this ended up being super brutal, sort of realistic except for the part about Ida surviving childhood
My god, this was a great video. Part two lets GO
I wondered if you would actually get around to making the actual Archduchy of Austria since you can't be the HRE Emperor at the time, IIRC.
I love the rhymes. I could listen to you talk about anything
LOVE IT
I was so proud of my self when I got this achievement. it is probably one of my favorite runs I've ever done on Ck3
You're my favourite CK3 channel. Here, have some engagement for the algorithm.
Great dinasty. Espacially Werber and Ida. I mean, only Werber and Ida.
I was waiting for your video in this DLC.
War is Peace!
Loved it! I want to see the sequel!

The way you say Werner makes my laugh xD in the beginning it sounded like this one cartoon character
Ida is the goat. Supporting the brinhildian line
I'd love to see a continuation of this tbqh!
I don't know if you read my comment from one of your CK3 videos in the past suggesting a video pretty similar to this one. I really enjoyed this playthrough!
Always amazing watching your CK3 Videos^^ greetings from Austria!

"it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."
My god, the blood is truly divine if they can manage to unite Europe with words alone!
Part 2 LET’S GO!
Save the Romans and then take their throne for your own.
Its over 10k now c:
Would love to see more!!
24:25 BOYS, LIKING IS BACK ON THE MENU (not that it wasn't before just let me have the reference)
playthrough suggestion: Recreate the Babylonian Empire, but instead of worshipping marduk, create a religion that worships his enemy, Tiamat.
Loved this video
Part two, three, four and five please!!!

I love the mechanism in AGOT mod about a bastard child can forge a new cadet branch after they have their own children
The Habsburg literally breed their members for the epic Chad jawline.
Amazing run
Nice video but I think there's a bait and switch announcement at the very beginning. The AEIOU achievement necesitate to form the archduchy of Austria. Which means you can't be of higher status than duke and the emperor has to be of a different dynasty than yours in order to trigger the decision.
It's quite more difficult than brute forcing your ass into the emperor seat. I tried a few times and it's really tricky.
I would read a novel about such kaiserin 😂😂
“Kinder Kaiser”, this was the best pun yet!
Fun fact: croissants are austrian

wonderful video!
And later, the Habsburgs founded the United Nations
babe wake up new AlzaboHD CK3 content just dropped
Name a more cursed string of words than "Holy Hapsburg Empire." You can't.
Ida's childhood was full of suffering...but she somehow made it and survived
As a ginger, I seen what you did there 😂😂😂
Goddamn that looks like a fun run!
Yeah, I don't regret disabling most stress related events. Having each emperor assume power with level 3 stress is bullshit, a spiral of stress that you cannot erase.
Mind-blowing!
As an Austrian, this video makes me exceedingly happy.
🥇🌻 Small acts of kindness can have a ripple effect and bring about great change. 👍🏆☮️👏💝
Beautiful
Amazing video
Awesome rp :)
Ida seems like an amalgamation of Queen Mary and Victoria
Ida would be a leader in this timeline's Sid Meier's Civilization.
Might do so well as a mega campaign... 🙏
This is awesome ! Please make a followup !!!😍

Help: you can change the faith doctrines
