@luistroops3341 It was relevant, although not in European in history, but there were interactions back then especially in Egypt. Also, I like other demographics like the Mongols, China, and India. It gives me more options other than Europe, although some may have a different opinion and just want it all European.
@@dunbass7149 game is called crusader kings, hence why subsaharan Africa in this context is a waste of resources....plus we do not have much info about them since most... Didn't record anything in "written" records
You play at such a high speed that sometimes you'll miss small stuff. I think the reason why you lost some of those battles at the end was because your armies didn't have commanders. The previous leader died and you didn't fill the spot, which makes your armies basically paper mache
Slowing down the game and working on the finer stuff really does help with things like war. Doing wars on 5 speed might be faster but it can cause lots of headaches because of simple mistakes like that
@@dagothhyde7297 You both make solid points but you have to see it from the prespective of a content creator. Time is money, playing fast to get that video up before EOD.
As an african it's fun to think of a united african empire that can have access to its own resources. How different history would be if this had actually happened.
That would involve a lot of blood 🩸 and tears 😭 to gain the crisis shock ⚡ necessary for reforms and boosts to sensibility to mimic the conditions of the rest of the world's powers 💪. Less so with a lot of polygamy.
Slavery wouldn't have happened, or it would have happened in a much smaller size than it did, because tribes would have worked together to repell the invaders and not tried to enslave their rivals and made money off it Also, having the ability to collect resources and riches with that size, could have resulted in a country similar to India. It's very romantic and nice to think how that could have happened. An african empire of that magnitude would be beautiful.
36:57 if you had captured the red parts of the war target then you would have kept those aswell as the dejure africa borders and could have gotten all of it in one war. That's how invade kingdom cb works. You also get anything that you control during the war that is outside their dejure realm! thanks for the video!
There was a malinke-kru hybridization and when a hybrid touches the original cultures they naturally spread and can completely kill the original culture. You being Kru you can actually still hybridize if you liked certain things about your original culture.
Your Men at Arms are considered to be at your capital. So when you raise them a continent away, it takes them a while for them to get there. You could move your capital, but it is probably better to just deal with it.
Uniting Africa is pretty time consuming, but it's not actually as tough as it looks thanks to the gold mines and lots of your opponents being pretty weak. Taking over Tibet starting as a count felt much more miserable, despite the smaller land area; the lack of income really makes it feel like your never getting anywhere.
"Alkebulan" isn't the original name of Africa. It means "Land of the Blacks" in Arabic. The idea of it being "the original name" is a pseudohistorical concept invented by various African American groups in the US. There was never a name for the entire continent, indigenous or otherwise, until "Africa" (originally the name of a Roman province whose origins are unknown).
Africa was the name that the Romans used to describe Tunisia and parts of northern Algeria Also as an arab that speaks arabic natively I assure you that the word Alkebulan is not of arabic origin
for later playthorughs: when you educate your childs and you want them to be a good steward, the guardian needs to have primary good stewardship and only secondary good learning. there are many factors, but if you have a genius educator and he has only maybe 5 stewardship then the child wont get a good education.
@@SnapStrategy i read a whole thread about it. There are more factors like university etc. ,but the three most important things i kept in mind on that in order are: having an guardian overall makes a huge difference, second most important having an guardian with a high primary stat of the education of the child and the last as a secondary is a high learning stat.
I have a request for a video idea, Play as the Bjarmians I think it's a cool idea to take Russia as a people form there. You are a great and fantastic content creator!
In my previous game (before this DLC) I had almost half the world under my rule, started in Santiago (867AD), got all africa land, the bizantine empire, some of the europe and a big portion of asia, it was almost 1244 when completed it XD, the war with the bizantines lasted more than 10 years, it was hell
I got so close then when i died my great granddaughter patrilienally married so my realm got split to people not in my dynasty! Gah i was just some straggling counties in Egypt away
It was cool that you was able to go feudal with togbah the 2nd as togbah was the original patriarch. Should save togbah the 3rd for when you're near the next era or once you conquer europe. Shoutout to Togbah "the insane"
Bravo, this was awesome. i like your style of play! i was watching some tall builds, and those are very mechanical based. This is good down and dirty gameplay. I just united a Bengal Empire and finally am stabilizing. I might try to spread Christianity to it
You messed up twice 1 just retarct vassals lower that kings power 2 you should have just promoted culture in your most developed county that would boost your research since it is based off your average you should also make hybrid with aken culture they have an alsome tradition
They should fix culture issues; I was annoyed recently when I selected the tradition that improves trade markets in coastal regions and during a brief time when I was not cultural head the next cultural head was able to change it to something else mid change.
"We haven't found out who the murderer was and I want to find that out because I want revenge." My number one suspect would be... YOU. The heir had the most to gain.
Can you continue the series? Unite Africa with Iberia, Britain, Western Europe, etc. It would be interesting to see this dynasty continue as well as try to invade more land and try to keep the realm stable. Each empire/area could be an episode long.
Alkebulan is not an “original” name for Africa, there is no historical evidence to suggest this whatsoever. It was most likely appropriated by notorious anti-Semite and pseudoscientist Yosef Ben-Jochannan in 1972, as the only other reference to it is in Thevet’s 1575 work “Cosmographie Universelle”. At most it is Arabic (although “kebulan” is not a word in Arabic), but it’s most likely pseudo-Arabic and means nothing. Even assuming that it is Arabic, it wouldn’t be an original name either since Arabs aren’t native to Africa as they invaded and conquered North Africa in the 700s. “Africa” is a better name for it in my opinion, as it was at least created by Carthaginians during Roman times. The concept of modern Africa as a continent wouldn’t even have existed a long time ago, as they had no way of navigating past the jungles in central Africa or through the dangerous waters of Cape Bojador. I just thought someone interested in history would like to know this.
I'm amazed there weren't more attempts on your life with ruling such a large amount of land. I'm sure long-term playing this large would bring a lot of drama, lots of assassinations between vassals I imagine.
What if this Africa made conquest to the new world first before Europe? That's some interesting alt history fanfiction world building potential right there!
Hey, Snap Strategy, there's a bit of a mistake in this video, Alkebulan, this is not the original name of the African Continent, this however is an Arabic name for Africa first seen in literature around the 16th century,
A tip for future videos: if you go in to the settings you can disable dynasty title names on the map so that you can rename your primary title instead of the dynasty
25:55 except its not the original name of Africa. The earliest you can find use of that name is from like the 1600s not to mention its an Arabic word. So it doesn't even originate from the continent of Africa. There is no original name for Africa the continent is way to big and diverse for something like that to have happened in ancient times.
Finilly some one did Africa, i tried but its hard you have to become a Muslim religion or grow something equal. Every time i did something different i got into a holy war with either the Christians or Muslims
> Unites a continent
> Gets a nickname and 750 prestige
United half of a continent
Also 33 percent chance for each county to flip to your religion
It's a crime that the decision gives you only 750 prestige lol. It should be a lot of renown like for the Iberian struggle
10:08 There is a random event that lets you build a city holding even when you are tribal, so your vassal probably got the event
ohh awesome! i didnt realise that thankyou!
The unify Africa event is so underwhelming given the huge achievement you just did.
why did paradox even add sub Saharan Africa
@@dunbass7149agreed, not in relevance for this time period to be honest.. but times change and we have to cater to all demographics

My biggest complaint about this massive effort is that it doesn’t create a giga empire. You can do it with the Roman Empire, why not Africa?
You can mod it very easily tho, there is probably at least one mod that does this
There's no pan-European empire either. False equivalence.
Also, the Roman Empire was real, and has an historical reason to exist.
Because the Roman Empire actually existed.
@@hevnervals There should be one though. 🤷
@mrbisshie Yeah, with all its decadence and corrupt institutions just like most empires.

Accidentally crash your game
This series would make a really good Alternate History novel
can you keep making 1 hour video like this . i like it
7:05 The lack of a culture head is because no counties have your culture, don’t know if you find that out later in the vid but figured I’d inform you.
Awesome job! Was so fun watching the whole journey!
Thankyou!
Really cool video man, I bet that's the only time I'll ever see that decision taken! Lord knows I'm not going to do it. Congratulations man.

Is it because they wanted Sinai?
@@unknowuser9821 Abbasids have a claim on the kingdom of egypt

2 you should have just promoted culture in your most developed county that would boost your research since it is based off your average you should also make hybrid with aken culture they have an alsome tradition

You saying that it took 9 years to win the war reminded me of that time I fought Croatia for 17 years and surrendered because it took so long
Great campaign playthrough! Enjoyed the entire series!
War would’ve been a lot easier if you had allies and merged your army before fighting
Yeah 100% was trying to do it without using to many allies, only reason i didnt
in the next series you should try to unite all of Europe
"We haven't found out who the murderer was and I want to find that out because I want revenge."

u gotta build the school around the Ghana region I always take the mines for gold and use the school wen feudal
the mad man's done it
The Bavaria England was crazy to see
Imagine turid dismantled hand only a shit load of counties remained
Next step would be a world conquest from this
This challenge is very very doable with abyssinia. It's an incredibly strong starting location
Great series
revoked lands always get lowered control if i remember that correctly
I wish he would continue to conquer the rest of the map
Try and rebuild the Roman Empire at it's height, including Britannnia.
the funny thing is u get 750 prestige for something so big
Great series, thanks very much!
Love these big long series
Loved the series. You should do another Game of Thrones series.
now you have to take down christendom
King Charles of Africa. One of the great African kings 💀💀💀
17:06 - you did capture the pope but he died? Not sure why
"Africa isn't a coun..... well"
very fun series
🎉🎉🎉 SNAP DID IT WOOO 🎉🎉🎉
He did, in fact, let the Pope get away with it.
Def should say part 2 or something
I hate, when you build a great kingdom and have like 5 children then you need partition
Alkebulan is originally Arabic and was largely used by the Arabian population of Africa and not the indigenous
There is no Arabian population of Africa stfu
call your kingdom eenheid it means unity in Afrikaans
Your culture has practiced pirates you could raid overseas all along
would be cool to to see you try do the mongol empire!!
