Meming or not, Charles the bald wasn't bald. He was mocked by other members of the karling dynasty because for the longest time he was a young buck with no crown. The crownlessness is what led him to being called bald.
Should do some more radio general I really like that Also maybe some Kaiser campaigns because you kind of only play one mod doing one thing and then the mod is tapped out
Challenge: pick a little nation or county of your choice and try to become a big empire by only assassinating your enemies. You can't declare war on a country and your army can only be used to defend the nation If becoming an empire takes too long just try to become as big as possible in the time you play.
This is very easy using the intrigue life path. You swear fealty to a ruler one step bigger than you, seize throne to get a claim, kidnap him and press your claim through a faction.
all these comments about conquer this and conquer that... I'm sitting here like try to seduce the queen of poland challenge 😂 this ain't HOI4 folks there's lots to do besides war 🙂
So, if I (male ruler) seduce another ruler (female ruler) and they give birth to a barstard what dynasty will that bastard belong to? And will I be able to press that bastard's claim on the other realm?
@@TGirrJB If they are married, which is highly likely, the child will be of their dynasty. If they are unmarried then the child is born a bastard, and if it works like CK2 that starts a new dynasty.
To point out, pretty sure factions are also suppose to incorporate a dynamic vassal limit, like you can only rule so many vassals that hate you and aren't intimidated, you got to manage them somehow, you can reduce faction power by pushing vassals off to dukes and kings.
I played as the Duke up in the Normandy region in 867 and I ended up having half my land taken and given to East Francia when they beat West Francia in a war. The Karolingian claims are super aggressive
I know you wanna make some videos about CK3 now but after this, could you make one in 1941 scenario of Endsieg Mod with Germany? I just tried so many times (regular, everybody strengthened completely) but never defeated the soviets. My divisions just start disbanding when getting to November/December. Furthest I got was (Kiev, Kola Peninsula,) Leningrad, Sevastopol, Moscow and I was close to Stalingrad. Just some things I found out: 1. get to Smolensk, then you can take focus Operation Typhon which grants attack/defence bonuses, 2. get from Kiev south to Crimea to encircle a lot Soviets at Odessa, 3. don't capture Krasnodar before 1. Oct 1941 because you can't take focus Fall Blau with it (grants attack/defence bonuses as well). Would be very amazing if you'd show how to crush them!
Hey Alex, new fan man as of like a few months! You’re awesome and I would really enjoy if you made a series of KC3, keep coming back to the game and continue etc etc, you have awesome content! Thanks man
Oh God, I've tried doing exactly that multiple times. I can never get it to a point where things are stable; one way or another it always falls apart before I truly get things organized to last. Seriously challenging, but never to the point of being frustrating.
Try and conquer the overall territory of what the pre split roman empire had on the Mediterranean at least, and maybe push up to Britain and take more than just England and Wales! It would take a while, but it's a crazily fun idea!
I don't know if WF can help you as Mercia/Wessex, but France really helped me out playing as England, I married my son or daughter to them straight away, they then delayed Norway while I dealt with the Normans and then we finished off Norway together. I guess thats the best way to do it.
Should also try playing as Abyssinia. I found getting an Alliance with the Byzantines to be the best option so that when you inevitably get swamped with wars those thicc roman stacks can just roam around your territory death blobbing everything.
Conquer the world challenge May use any character or nation Must be at war Can only stay away from war for 5 years at a time Have a limit of 12 generation Limit of 2 ally’s Must take warriors path and warriors skill tree
Here's a challenge I've been trying myself, play as Cornwall at the earliest and try and survive the onslaught of Vikings, I've managed about 100 or so years
it's so hard forming the HRE with E. Frankia, Lotharingia, W. Frankia and Bavaria as de jure because you have to hold all the territory for it to be integrated to the empire when you form it. If your character dies, you're fucked
could you do the consecrate bloodline (I think that's what it's called?) route? Where you get the character to be beautiful, herculean and a genius and then make that major decision? x
Excuse me, but so could you please unite Britannia, starting with either England, Scotland, Wales, or Ireland first and foremost, please? Also, you might want to make alliances with either Holy Roman Empire, France, Byzantine Empire, or someone else more powerful for backup, please.
*This....was a tricky one! Can the 'Bald' King win?*
Hope so!
maybe lol i hope
Wiii

I named my daughter I didn’t really need you stupid, and then my heir died and she is now the queen of Ireland.

Oh thank God he didn't click giving kingdom of Aquitaine. He would learn the hard way he has no empire rank title 😂
I've done that far too many times in CK2
I actually went to school in the original Frankia
Thank you for the input, Queen.
Wait, weren't you alive during the dinosaur extinction event?
F.B.I of course, I was home schooled for thousands of years and went to college in Frankia

Big mood. We can see more seduction and family shenanigans here. I'd sure like to.
So, if I (male ruler) seduce another ruler (female ruler) and they give birth to a barstard what dynasty will that bastard belong to? And will I be able to press that bastard's claim on the other realm?

Yeah get out that willy forget war
Ngl i watched some of your crusader kings 3 videos and found them so funny. I subscribed and 2 minute later you upload a video of CK3.... the timing

There used to be an achievement in CK2 for ruling the Empire of Britannia as a Hindu. It’s called “British Raj”
Sicron I was imagining a fetishist Britain
Challenge: As the Duchy of East Anglia, form the Empire of Brittania.
by that do you mean like having all their colonial territories or do you mean just take the british isles?
Darcy S in the game you can form the empire of Britannia by taking all the British isles
try to form an empire when you have more than one kingdom before you die so you are less likely to split up
So unfortunate that he didn't managed to form the Empire title before the King died, it would've secured all his holdings.

Alex:Although he doesn't really look very bald though.
Me playing Ck3: That's what I was thinking.
The name was a joke even then, he was famously hairy.

We will make Frankia great again. And the Lotharingians are gonna pay for it.

Being over the vassal limit when Charles kicked the bucket. Yep, that's a mess.

Challenge:

Well, if that is Charles The Bald, we have Alexander The Hairy here.
This is how all my play through a end
You didn't have to call in your allies - it costs prestige and you already had more soldiers.
