The 4th Crusade's initial target was actually Egypt. That's why they went through Venice, they needed a massive navy to do the naval invasion, rather than going the land route through the Balkans and Anatolia that all the previous crusades had used to get to Jerusalem.
One mod I can't live without is 'mass demand conversion' (I think that's what it's called). Whenever I see someone converting vassals manually it triggers my ptsd and hurts me physically >_>
One of my most memorable runs was when I got 4th Crusaded after I finally worked my way up to become the emperor and immediately lost it to the crusade. I was so demoralized I was about to quit the run but I was fueled by vengeance and worked my way back up again so I could dismantle the papacy.
I once was playing ck3 and doing genetics challenge my brother was sitting next to me and i said out loud , " my sister is 16 i gotta marry her to my son " and he looked super fuckin confused and worried ( for context i have no sis and no son irl)
@@SnapStrategy Surprised you even made a video and didn't give up when you saw how stupid that decision was, everyone having huge amounts of special soldiers is crazy. They need to fix that. Probably wouldn't be so bad if everyone could only do it once but it's basically an unplayable cheat mod at this point.

The 4th crusade was targeting egypt, not jerusalem, since it was thought (correctly) that a crusader kingdom should be installed in a power powerful region
At 37:53 what it means is (basileus basileon you read it like vasilefs vasileon and means king of kings) (basileuon basileue you read it like vasilevon vasileve and it mean rule ruling) doesnt make a lot o sense in english but it does in greek. Love you content keep up the good work.

Very good video, mate! It kept me company while I ate my pizza. I have a question for you, when I play more bookmarks mode, after a certain time my computer starts to get very laggy. However, I can play Warzone on the same computer without any problems. Do you have any advice?
Thankyou!

Ok, I think this will sound a bit like a conspiracy but I think it’s too much coincidence that Snap Strategy is playing this mod after Paradox revealed they are working on a new Start Date, and the Fourth Crusade is probably the most likely one and one of the most requested by the playerbase. Hope we’re right. Also this mod looks amazing I always thought it wouldn’t be this detailed but man this is awesome. I may have to try it now.
@embrance9565 I believe it's confirmed they won't go outside the 867 - 1453 timeframe. You should check out The Fallen Eagle mod though, they have really well made bookmarks from the early medieval period.

On my run I actually took the last son of the last emperor and I made him basically take all the land back right after I invaded them and became best friends with the dude me had the Byzantine Empire great again 😂
Doesn’t relate to the question. But I keep running into a problem of when I hybridize my culture, promoting my culture often takes a while. But I looked and cultural acceptance between the old cultures is like 97. Does the culture change to mine if it hits 100?
I love this mod but I avoid it like a plague because of all these special soldier stacking. At one point nikea had like 150k special soldiers in my game.
I would have phrased the beginning differently when you said "brought down the once mighty empire" (or something along those lines) when the latin empire was the byzantine with a different name and the paleologans in nikaea made the empire at its height culturally (so ive heard)

You single-handedly taught me how to play the game (although I have like 90 hours ATP I still don't fully know how to goof my way around but its very fun trying to recreate some of the saves & scenarios you make videos about).

They sacked it due to the wealth the city had. It really had nothing to do with the massacre with Latin's. Not to mention the person who originally promised them the money to take Constantinople died and the usurper didn't pay them so yeah. Very stupid decision that led to a monster taking over Europe later on.
@@arvoresdoinfinitogameplay-3482 That’s a damn lie. It was a complete and total genocide of the ENTIRE Latin population of Constantinople. Either speak the truth or shut your deceitful mouth.

So ironic that one of the main contributors to the empire's decline came from the west, not the east
Yeah! I heard abit about it before, but looked into it more while making this video was really interesting!
varangians and citizens attacked the crusaders
It came from the byzantine court itself. A Byzantine Prince was the one who asked the Latins to invade the Empire
@@joao.fenix1473 The prince didn't ask the Crusaders to sack the city, and didn't know the Latin Empire was going to be formed
@@joao.fenix1473 he never asked the crusaders to destroy the empire
The cheese in this episode is real.. I feel like that event should be restricted to a one-time use cause the status quo is kind of broken
Yeah haha, I assumed it was tbh, was just not going to use it atall, but fuck it was necessary in the end haha
100% a bug
or just dont give a fuckload of levies
A shame cause it stops the advance of the Mongols in that direction too. Be good if its fixed. Great mod though !
One mod I can't live without is 'mass demand conversion' (I think that's what it's called). Whenever I see someone converting vassals manually it triggers my ptsd and hurts me physically >_>
Yeah, I probably should start using that haha
I got one where I can spend, like, 10k gold to convert my whole realm. Cheaty…but it’s 10k gold, so.
That mod is a godsend but I'd love a option that it only demands conversion if there is a certain success chance
ive pressed demand conversion over a hundred times in a row more than once before
