    Imagine being a courtier to a weird superbaby and hearing: "Create a duchy of Uppland, hire 200 more huscarls, station them at Uppsala, also fetch me a teacher I'm gonna read a book now" in one day
  • @thespiffingbrit
    Absolutely wonderful. Per your request the Only editing comment I could make is some chill background music. But make sure its not too loud as you dont want to overpower your awesome delivery style
  • @saifalshawy1313
    You know it's a high quality video when you see all the different mechanics to reach the target
  • Finally a Crusader Kings Youtuber who doesn't talk at 100x speed while screaming and actually use all possible mechanics to reach the goal. Thanks, looking forward to more specific decisions oriented playthrough
  • @me-ed3cz
    This might be one of the best CK3 videos I have seen.
  • @justdirt
    The video is incredible, but even it doesn't truly show how insane this actually is. The sheer amount of game knowledge, planning, trial and error, etc is just beyond comprehension. Mongol invasion spam to single life world conquest has been done before and is the meta for speed running world conquest, but those always end when the main character or first heir dies and everything fractures immediately. The fact he had 2 full lifetimes of complete security all before 1050 is just amazing
  • @seagullgod
    “Your son, grandson, and brother-in-law” is absolutely crazy, 34:33
  • @chrisrubin6445
    You may not like it, but THIS is what peak preformance looks like!
  • @persona2293
    You could go one world, one religion, one culture from this. Really outstanding gameplay and breakdown.
  • @6lackline445
    This is probably the best Crusader Kings video I’ve ever seen great job bro
  • @andrelavoie4270
    Most impressive thing I’ve seen on CK3. I can get to Isle of Mann decision consistently, but that was glorious.
  • @johndoe605as8
    I never post comments on youtube, but this deserves an algorithm boost. Awesome run, but what really stands out is your explaining of the various mechanics you are abusing. While longer that more popular challenge videos, it was much more easier to follow, and I learned stuff that I can apply in my own games.
  • @micahpickus5142
    You earned yourself a sub. I did not see the Viking to Mongol strat coming 😂. Same goes for using sanctioned loopholes for a claim on the Byzantine empire. Well played sir. I also didn’t realize the teleporting ability of the Mongol special troops. I love the fact that you went for the Saoshyant and Chakravarti traits. Absolutely iconic. PS I love the nod to Uhtred of Bebbanburg
  • @johnambrose907
    The pressure the last Heir must feel to be in charge of the entire world lol
  • @itzyaboisatan
    jesus christ...i could never ever get even close to this. The knowledge of the game and its mechanics you need to have to pull this off is mind blowing
  • @zewlson8617
    Great content, definitely you know the game mechanics very well, maybe the next video should be about all the tricks and tips you know and how to trigger the best events in the game.
  • @AntoniThePiano
    It's the best tutorial i've ever seen you explain every single part in detail perfectly, even if someone played the game for an hour, they'd understand everything
  • @YoussefRaouf69
    This is honestly incredibly impressive! 10/10 gameplay, and your way of explaining without being annoying is extremely nice.
  • @MnMarton
    expertise communicated in a casual manner. theres something special about this video which made me unable to stop watching, great stuff
