The mod is based on "Lebor Gabála Érenn" or "The Book of Invasions of Ireland" - medieval pseud-historical narrative about the history of the Isle. According to it there was six takings of the island by the six different people. Among them: different descendants of biblical Noah, monstrous Fomorians, Tuatha Dé Danann - race of beautiful, magical, totally-not-a-gods (yay medieval monks writing down legends), and, finally the Milesians who were supposed to be direct ancestors of Irish. In general Irish (and Celtic) mythology is fascinating and I encourage everyone to check it out.
From my understanding. The works were the inventions of medieval Christian monks who wanted to make Irish mythology and legend better fit their faith's worldview.
@@DovahFett It was more of a medieval self insert fanfiction. It essentially takes the old pagan beliefs and folklore of Ireland and puts them into a Christian context. Irish Christianity borrowed a lot from the old beliefs in way of practice. Ireland is well known for having holy wells for various Christian saints. In Irish polytheism water and wells were places of worship because many of them were said to have healing properties or be considered places of knowledge. The River Shannon was said to have been formed by the dead body of a woman being punished by the gods for taking to much of the knowledge. In the wells of many saints in Ireland including one to St. Brigid, we have found pre-Christian Roman coins. Showing that because Roman traders from a pre-Christian Rome giving and offering into that well this particular Irish well was a place of worship for the goddess Brigid. St. Brigid likely never existed and is based off of an irish goddess. Many early irish Christian monks were either druids or former druids and played a big role in the beliefs of irish Christianity. Many druids became part of the brehon class who were the legal scholars of Ireland. Some were bards and told the stories. Monks began to adapt Irish mythology into Christianity in order to make it easier to convert the Irish. TLDR; it’s like how Christmas is really just saturnalia.
@@DovahFett we think that the people said to be Descendants of Noah to be Gaelic Irish gods that were Christianised by monks and scribes writing about the legends later on.
I really like when you talk about things besides just the game. You're a very entertaining guy! If you want a middle ground, I especially like when you talk about the history of stuff you're doing in game at the start of videos
Dude I love to hear you talk about stuff other than the game in the videos, you always make it quite entertaining even when the topic (such as football) doesn't particularly interest me whatsoever.
Laith we love it that you talk about stuff outside of the game. Whether it be football or your life, it shows us that your human. For me, it makes me more engaged because I feel like I have found a RUclipsr that I can try to relate with and actually "spend time with" if that makes any sense.
I do enjoy the life stories that pop up here and there. On another note if you want to more easily find the inheritable traits for marriages you can use the filter labeled traits where you can choose only characters with inheritable traits would appear.
I love the more casual approach you take to the videos in terms of talking about both the game and things going on in your life because it makes you stand out from the rest of the PDX youtubers. For the most part they are fully focused on the game and maybe have the occasional reference to something they've done and feel like cookie-cutters (not saying theyre bad, just not as personal). The same applies for the discord (join the discord server guys) so you feel like a genuine person and not just a content creator.
Laith we don’t actually mind your commentary, most of the times they’re cool actually and pretty interesting. We’d just wish that you continued your saves at least one day per week!
It gives your channel character when, you talk about other stuff than the game, and it feels more like watching a friend play, when you know the person like one
I think it's quite interesting when you talk about things that aren't just the game, plus it adds a certain type of flavour to the video, so I think you should continue doing it!
I like having a balance between your personal story and game content. Gotta say I was kind of happy when tunesia won previously although I otherwise care neither for football, sports in general or tunesia as a sports team in particular. On another note I'd really like this to be a series:)
I’m here for both Laith, not me Laith but you Laith, and the game so happy to hear about whatever. Tunisia did so good this year, I was sad to see it end the way it did. Maybe one day I’ll see a Falestinian team but for now I’m rooting for all my other Arab brothers.
Best video you've done in a few weeks. I think Victoria 3 still isn't there yet. I've been playing it a lot too, but CK3 has a great system and the modding is awesome.
I personally don't care about Football/Soccer myself, but I find it interesting to hear it from someone who actually cares about it, the energy and enjoyment transmits over the screen extremely well and is highly enjoyable
I HUGELY prefer you talking about stuff unrelated to the game, its real fun to hear about and if you were talking about ONLY the game it would get dry pretty quick imo. So yeah, continue the fun off-topic stuff, its fun, and interesting!
Definitely more (and I like the World Cup chatter since you clearly are interested in it so it's entertaining when you talk about it). Gonna check this mod out myself, looks really sick
I like it when people can do both, play the game and if irl stuff come up don't be afraid to say what u want... Id say don't force it either way though.
29:20 No scam happened; your province is Doolish. Doolin is a village in County Clare on the west coast of Ireland, and incidentally is where one of my grandparents grew up.
I'm totally cool with you chatting about all kinds of things while playing the game. Especially when you go into history, but honestly whatever you actaly want to talk about is cool with me sir!
Just want to comment on the CK2 stuff said in the beginning, ngl having played both 2 and 3 a lot CKII with HIP seems the more "realistic" in its outcomes if you do not interact with the weird stuff. Also because 2 is way more stylized than 3, it honestly feels like it pays homage to the medieval era way better than 3. Also, the fact that the economy didn't even get a massive rework and become actually complex in 3 and that 3 doesn't have an insanely detailed map are massive disappointments to me, but that's just me.
What are you talking about? CK3's map is massively more detailed than CK2's, in terms of faiths, cultures, and political borders. In fact, It's probably the most detailed map of the medieval world to ever feature in a video game. What is your standard for detail? The Voltaire's Nightmare mod? MEIOU and Taxes? HIP? I hope it's not HIP, because I think CK3 has even more counties than it does.
@@DovahFettngl i was hoping it would be stupidly detailed like MEIOU/BT however i do agree that the CK3 map is waaaaaay better than the CK2 map (esp when it comes to cultures/religions lol), i’m sure i’m being a big idiot for thinking this, but im addicted to insane historical and economical detail in the maps of my map games 🫡
Definitely enjoy hearing slice of life. Like you said, these aren't guides where I'm looking for a how to; at this point I watch your videos because I like your personality and stories. It's closer to the feeling of "hanging out." Please feel free to keep it up! And sorry about Tunisia
Such an awesome story. Good job. I thought the constantly having someone trying to murder my dynasty was already pretty extreme….are you talking about this mod or the latest update?
Hey yo! Thanks again for this nice video, it's always a treat to see what kind of shenanigans you're pulling off in these games. Also, don't worry about talking too much about other stuff outside the current game. It makes it more chill and cozy imo if you're talking about anything really, and I enjoy your antics/talks a lot, some of which are fairly relatable ^^ Looking forward to your next one, and I wish you much fun and success in your day to day life!
As a manx person, I actually loved this, I just don't know much irish mythology and the like, so I thought the Island cloaked in fog was referring to Manannan's Cloak.
First: commenting on your life makes you less of a gaming youtuber and more of a youtuber. And that's good. Keep at it. Also, continue this run. It turned into amazing midway through
I’d love mods for each region of the world that focuses on the myths/history of that region. I.e. Tales of Scandinavia, Tales of India, Persia, Greece, Africa and so on if not one mod that combines it all.
talking only about the game is fine, but i personally like when you talk about something else... makes the video more casual and not hardcore "okay i have to get this done, i gotta do this now"... also its always fun hearing something new
Don't know if anyone else has said it, but I assume the clothing disappearing even when it shouldn't is due to the mods playing around with attire, and cultures, which can cause some funky stuff. Also, I totally think next World Cup you should do a full commentary. It sounds rather fun to watch along.
Don't nude shame the naked peeps 😂 And I would like to see a failed run, all kinds of CK3 game play are entertaining, so I would love for you to upload that video.
I actually really enjoy the side chatter. I can go watch any number of youtubers if I just want to go get a guide for a particular nation in a pdx game. The side chatter makes the videos more fun imo.

I like it when you talk about everything, there is only so much you can say about the game
Edit: I would love to see you continue this series
i was thinking the same, talking about interesting stuff other than the game makes the video more fun and different
Completely agree been really enjoying it
I agree with Burger King
same
There a lot of paradox content on the internet already. I don’t watch the SS for the game, I watch for Laith
To put your concern at ease, having those bits where you talk about the cup or something else similar are rather nice.
Please continue this series this was actually so much fun to watch
Dude this mod is infinitely more interesting than most other CK3 content out there please continue
It is quite good, but honestly like most of the mods for this game even at the time you typed this were amazingly cool
I really like when you talk about things besides just the game. You're a very entertaining guy! If you want a middle ground, I especially like when you talk about the history of stuff you're doing in game at the start of videos

Cant sleep without these thanks laith
Yeah something about leaving laith on at 1am and falling asleep hits different
I do that too…except when he has guest on. They get a bit to excited to fall asleep to then, lol.
I would LOVE to see more!!! I'm invested in this story now haha
You ask continuity from Paradox youtubers? In something that is not a mega campaign?
The invasion he’s referring to is either the Irish discovering Ireland after being told to sail there by the gods or the Formian invasion of the isle
i recommend Western Europe 410-962 - The Winter King mod for ck2, similar vibe but larger scale
I do enjoy the life stories that pop up here and there. On another note if you want to more easily find the inheritable traits for marriages you can use the filter labeled traits where you can choose only characters with inheritable traits would appear.

🌍 "Wait, it's all Ireland?"
🔫 Tales of Ireland: "Always has been" 💥
Laith we don’t actually mind your commentary, most of the times they’re cool actually and pretty interesting. We’d just wish that you continued your saves at least one day per week!
It was so fun to watch someone spend so long trying to unify what would be 1 province in Eu4
i don’t see any other comments about it but i love the world cup stuff just talking about paradox can get boring
PLEASE give us more of this I’m absolutely loving this mod and the adventures of the prophet Hormoz
These CK3 mods are easily the most entertaining content on the channel right now. I'd love to see how this campaign plays out!
I like where you talk about the WC. I also appreciate you're in a combat sport. Stuff like that is good, makes you a more "whole" person.
I vote for tak about whatever. We come for the personality, not just the game. Don’t let it go to your head.
I honestly love it when Laith goes off on random tangents about non-game things. Adds to the entertainment imo
Talk about anything you want. We like the videos because of you and when you are yourself is the best. Thanks!
It gives your channel character when, you talk about other stuff than the game, and it feels more like watching a friend play, when you know the person like one
I like the football commentary
I studied Irish archaeology in college/university and I love this mod because I read this book for that class.
You need to press the OK button for your settings to save when disabling nudity. Pressing ESC to close the menu discards the changes
I want to see more about what the manx get up to! And yes, i like your witty banter :)
I think it's quite interesting when you talk about things that aren't just the game, plus it adds a certain type of flavour to the video, so I think you should continue doing it!
14:20 answering your question, my brother in christ you talking about things outside the game is half the reason i watch your videos, please continue.
Love the videos and enjoying the World Cup commentary as well
I like having a balance between your personal story and game content. Gotta say I was kind of happy when tunesia won previously although I otherwise care neither for football, sports in general or tunesia as a sports team in particular.
On another note I'd really like this to be a series:)
I like when you also talk other things other than the game. It's quite fun
I’m here for both Laith, not me Laith but you Laith, and the game so happy to hear about whatever. Tunisia did so good this year, I was sad to see it end the way it did. Maybe one day I’ll see a Falestinian team but for now I’m rooting for all my other Arab brothers.
Lol. Laith love, we’re here for you. The game is nice, but you are what makes this channel interesting. You make it fun. 😂😂
Talking more about whatever makes watching the videos way more relaxed and I love it
Respect for being real about how you feel about the direction of the videos. I like it
I'd love to see this turn into a series, and i think laith too would love it
I like it when you talk about things outside the game
Imagine if the entire game was at this scale
Taking a Kingdom County by country is already painful enough
Yes I can imagine my pc catching fire.
Best video you've done in a few weeks. I think Victoria 3 still isn't there yet. I've been playing it a lot too, but CK3 has a great system and the modding is awesome.
You aren't the only youtuber that plays this game, we watch for you as much as the game.
I like to hear you talk about stuff that is not the game, it is interesting to see whats going on in your life and your opinion on stuff
I personally don't care about Football/Soccer myself, but I find it interesting to hear it from someone who actually cares about it, the energy and enjoyment transmits over the screen extremely well and is highly enjoyable
I HUGELY prefer you talking about stuff unrelated to the game, its real fun to hear about and if you were talking about ONLY the game it would get dry pretty quick imo. So yeah, continue the fun off-topic stuff, its fun, and interesting!

talking about other things is appreciated, as a part 2 to this would be :)
I enjoyed the random history facts in video out of all the misc topics that Laith spews out.
Share with us
CK2 being the historical recount can even be boosted by the portraits which are more like you'd see in paintings vs the 3d models of 3
I like hearing Laith talk about just stuff, I like seeing him as a person and not just an internet guy
Loved this, a second would be great
Dear laith, me as a viewer of your videos would be glad to see the future of this campaign and this oh so interesting story.
~me
Definitely enjoy hearing slice of life. Like you said, these aren't guides where I'm looking for a how to; at this point I watch your videos because I like your personality and stories. It's closer to the feeling of "hanging out." Please feel free to keep it up! And sorry about Tunisia
I really watch you over other RUclipsrs because of your jokes about other stuff, it makes you unique + more relatable
Such an awesome story. Good job. I thought the constantly having someone trying to murder my dynasty was already pretty extreme….are you talking about this mod or the latest update?

100% need Part 2
Man, I don't usually watch your CK3 stuff, but I loved this video.
Ooh, this is fun! I hope you do continue it!
this was so good hopefully we get another episode
this actually slapped, reminding me of my history classes back in irish primary school
As a manx person, I actually loved this, I just don't know much irish mythology and the like, so I thought the Island cloaked in fog was referring to Manannan's Cloak.
First: commenting on your life makes you less of a gaming youtuber and more of a youtuber. And that's good. Keep at it.
Also, continue this run. It turned into amazing midway through
So laith, when does Tunis play?
Please continue with this style of videos, really enjoying them!
Ck3 devs: hah we made the world boring and realistic for you so your favorite history people in the comments can correct you!
Me: *Elder Kings*
Talking just about the game can get stale, don’t feel restricted. Also, I’d absolutely love to see more from this as a series
The extra commentary other than the game really breaks up the video and i think it helps with the flow, keep it up!
I’d love mods for each region of the world that focuses on the myths/history of that region. I.e. Tales of Scandinavia, Tales of India, Persia, Greece, Africa and so on if not one mod that combines it all.
talk about anything u want man I am here for u and not only the game
thumbnail: Wait it's all Ireland?
Mod: Always has been.
This was one of your coolest videos to watch, thank you!
Like the life talks
Yeah you can share things with us, I enjoy it
Loved to see part 2!
talking only about the game is fine, but i personally like when you talk about something else... makes the video more casual and not hardcore "okay i have to get this done, i gotta do this now"...
also its always fun hearing something new
When searching for spouses, you can filter only inheritable traits, instead of searching for each trait separately.
Personally I watch you for you so talk about whatever is interesting to you
Don't know if anyone else has said it, but I assume the clothing disappearing even when it shouldn't is due to the mods playing around with attire, and cultures, which can cause some funky stuff.
Also, I totally think next World Cup you should do a full commentary. It sounds rather fun to watch along.
seelie court is not even a faith, but an actual realm somewhere up in scotland, fascinating
This mod looks insanely fun, I always loved playing in Ireland in vanilla CK3
Don't nude shame the naked peeps 😂
And I would like to see a failed run, all kinds of CK3 game play are entertaining, so I would love for you to upload that video.
This is so cool would love for you to make this a lets play series!
Please continu this save, its great
Yep, please continue this run. Would like to see more.
I actually really enjoy the side chatter. I can go watch any number of youtubers if I just want to go get a guide for a particular nation in a pdx game. The side chatter makes the videos more fun imo.
He's moved back to his old stomping grounds after accidentally tipping off the police about his past as a prolific bin-burner.
Title: what if ck3 was all Ireland
Me:*points the gun* always was
Hope you continue with this!
Let's go, finally the laith upload!
at least we didn't see some guys walking in spaghetti line from London To Norway like few years earlier
Im here for the random shit you talk about, paradox games are just a fun plus
