Zieley: I don't want to make it too easy. Also Zieley: starts as Haesteinn One county and the warmonger tenet is stronger than 90 Catholic counties.
I think he was being sarcastic lol
@@mr.morningstar9906 Haesteinn is basically a full 100 character with those special soldiers. if it had 3k more troops i bet he could take the Byzantine empire down
@@wuxiagamescentral i have taken down the Byzantines with Haestinn. No need for your proposed 3000 troops
@@wuxiagamescentral you can take on byzantines usually just with haestinn and an alliance with another Norseman
I was just going to say that
Koifish will be proud of you! 😂 His beloved Hastein.
There's something poetic about Crete being one of the last bastions of free, independent realms.
i could watch zieley for all eternity. the smooth voice. the nice occasional memes. the calm absolute sheer destruction of game mechanics. brings a tear to my eye.
also, may i request more of these fun little timelapses of you going through the motions? i learn a lot and i love watching someone just effortlessly do things that would take me hours xD
Bro same literally. What a legend
Lol true gotta love the guy
Zip his pants when you are done
I just found his channel and his voice is so damn smooth
1:39:40 “How the hell did we get stressed out?” says the god emperor of the entire world 😂 amazing video, congrats on accomplishing this feat
The mass ransom, mass release and mass execute buttons will also respect any filters you set for the list of prisoners. You can easily filter out vassals when ransoming, or filter out family for executions so you don't accidentally become a kinslayer.
Wow this made committing wars crimes incredibly easier. Thanks man
Before i knew about the filter thing i constanly got kinslayer playing vikings

He could make this into a 4 part series video, but nah motherfucker choose to give us a 1,4 hour video all at once, I love this dude.

1,4 hours is 84 minutes, not 104.

@@purpleey Maths isn't a strong suit huh?
Little correction, the unit that starts the game with the highest pursuit is the Konni 60, horse archers starts with 40.
Yes, Poland being OP as usual.
@@SFtheGreat pursuit is useless, even in early game. you only get warscore from winning battles and sieges. not from more kills. with the way the AI works its always best to just have tons of levies + knights and siege engines. the AI will go for sieging unless it can outright win a fight. having a bigger number is almost always enough to scare away any army. with more siege engines you can easily siege down for lvl 4's in 2-3 months. in which time the AI would still be running around or maybe it would try to siege something with like 1 siege engine army which would easily take up 9 months or more. siege MAA are cheaper means saving money means more money into buildings means more money left for mercs (thats the cheapest way to get MAA) also always try to create holy order for the free holy order MAA. if your income is high enough you can easily make back the money from a merc company within the war. meaning you can stack merc companies if you have enough CB's you have very cheap armies running around that siege super quick.
@@HansWurst1569 with his realm that big one merc probably costs 10k each. also, it really doesnt matter if he has strong maa or not since nothing can challenge his army anymore except probably all of his vassals rebelling. you actually get warscore from winning battle although its lesser than sieges.
@@zjpdarkblaze Sorry I explained myself wrong, dmg over pursuit is what I’m trying to say. Because you always stackwipe if you do enough casualties to an army within the firsr phase. That is the reason he’s stackwiping, not pursuing. Also Im pretty sure your realmsize doesnt have anything to do with your merc cost and its always the size of the merc company that decides the cost, and that is associated with culture size afaik. In my world conquest i went for a supertall money above everything aproach and siege over MAA and i did it about 40 years before him. But ofcourse that might have been down to luck. I did most of his strategy except a different set of traditions favour more tall play and knighteffectiveness. Made a very agressive religion which helped my vassals actualy declaring more wars. Crownauthority is usefull to a certain extend but actually keeping it down can help with sorting out realms. Edit: checked my save and it was 36 years and 2 months before him. Which at that late game tick speed is quite a bit.
@@HansWurst1569 i did a world conquest 75-ish years faster than him. from 867 to around 1250. Warmonger tenet is crucial but another things that make it easier is giving dukes and kings to dynasty members since you can stack more opinion with dynasty members and also always choosing diplomacy for your heirs. with that strat, every succession is so stable because you can just always gift gold with massive opinion from the "thoughtful" perk on top of the myriad of dynasty member opinions. i have never had one single vassal rebellion with that world conquest playthru. this is the reason why Ziely took to long to do it because of the so many rebellions. Add to that that he took to long to remove the pope with "dismantle pop" or "fix schism" decision and also left the mongol empire unchecked. i rushed removing the pope in my world conquest to remove the annoying crusade early on and snowballed to mongolia early too to position myself from gengis khans respawn point in the county of khenti and immediately removing him. i never really thought of MaA's and holdings since like i said the only thing that threatens you is your vast vassals that might rebel.
Doing the exact same thing right now and conquered like 75% of the world so far... Only thing I did differently in the beginning was taking Cagliari first and then Latium. Good stuff!
I took Brittany and went north swept the islands and then bum rushed Scandinavia and then ate the 3 karlings beside me.
I tried doing this but the king keeps declaring a holy war against me after taking the papacy and sometimes right after I take Cagliari. Is there a way to stop him from doing that?
For me, on my last playtrough i conquered like 80% of the world in Ironman. There were ups and downs... kingdoms falling... murdering,befriending, factions rising with 10 more troops than yours ( like 30K fighting 150K), being invaded by neighbouring Empires such as Mongol, Arabian or the Magreb Empire.... But i standed i took control and emprisoned the rivals, destroyed the empires next to me and from the small and only dynasty member alive i created a legendary bloodline of more than 6 thousands dynasty members ⚔⚔⚔
I remember my first world conquest in CKII. It was before Tibet and parts of India were even in the game. I started as Basileos Makedon and learned the hard way that your best friend in one life is your worst enemy in the next. I got this amazing general that became a friend of Basileos. I granted him my first ever kingdom, Anatolia, and he was amazing. Then succession happens and he hates my new character so from loyal servant his dynasty becomes a huge threat. That moment onwards I started going heavily into eugenics and making sure kingdoms only went to people of my dynasty culture and religion. Those bonuses made such a huge difference.

I think the reason why the court grandeur drops may be that your new character actually had a court (or it was at least landed) before ascending to his father's throne, so that you inherit your new character's grandeur level instead of your old realm level. I think it also happens with crown authority. If someone could confirm or disprove me it would actually be great, as I am not 100% sure at all 😂
I'm pretty sure you're right
Had this happen to me in my recent Roman Empire ironman playthrough, can 100% confirm it's an issue with either their own court or lack thereof, as any of my sons that I granted Duchies or just single counties to who ended up inheriting the whole empire would end up lacking in court grandeur. The two ways to solve this are: 1. Making sure your direct heir is unlanded and just chilling at your court, or 2. If you have to deal with a ruler with low grandeur penalty, the classic solution of killing prisoners until you get max dread so that everyone who's pissed off at you is too scared to do anything works like a charm.
I think it is a bug connected to confederate partition. I had it several times in my run for mother of us all, it stopped when I switched to partition (even though I kept giving lands to my heirs).
So one strategy to avoid it could be to hybridize with the Catalans, get the Visigothic Codes tradition and switch to high partition. That should get rid of it.
It is this, but the confederate partition is creating a new empire title with low court grandeur before you inherit your new titles.
The reason for grandeur drop seems to be due to the fact that your son was a ruler. Thus, he had a base grandeur that hasn't changed with the inheritance. It can be solved by keeping your heir landless.
I did my second world conquest recently. I had over 2000 living dynasty members by 1200, so most of my vassals were family and got opinion bonuses. Vassals can't join factions if you befriend them, then on succession you get a big opinion of predecessor bonus.
I am inevitable 😈

Yes u r
Was it worth it? What did it cost?

Dude i tried this on console without royal courts or Northern Lords dlc because apparently it takes more than a year to deliver. Anyway i concurred almost the whole map. I was saving my war with the Mongols as an endgame. I started fighting them for the last part of the map. Freaking save file keeps on crashing. It really destroyed me. It was soul crushing. I hated ck3 for a while only now I'm just starting to play again. I want to try it out again but i don't trust paradox anymore. Also i think I'll wait for the royal courts dlc which will drop on May 17th.(yeah i did everything there is to do in this game stopped playing it for almost a year and only now they give us a dlc which i bought with the game more than a year ago) It looks way easier than the argues task i tried to mountain without any dlc.
I was not expecting this video at all. I really enjoyed it. The longer the better. Love from me and my friend splinter.

Ninja turtle ass😂
Zieley I just want to thank you for making such great content, you deserve way more recognition.
1:02:05 Ypu should always check your previous alliances. You can keep them for 2-3 generations that way
I wonder how the tours and tournaments patch will affect playing tall like this in the future. Since stacking effects won't be the same, excited to see your take on it Zieley.
It will be slightly slower at first, but way dumber by the end.
@@admontblancyep you can put all the right buildings and boost the stats of your troops like crazy
Super cool video - some comments / ideas 1. Court Grandeur dropping after succession is a bug that is caused by conf. partition iirc, as soon as you switch your succession laws your CG shouldn't change after succession 2. I prefer handing out newly conquered titles to members of my dynasty without claims (which can be hard early on), because all those trusting / content / humble vassals will inevitably die at some point, and while their wards / heirs are more likely to have similar traits it isn't guaranteed. Dynasty members that are of your religion don't tend to rebel against you anyway, so I often just give out entire kingdoms (+their respective subdivisions) to some distant cousin who will assign their own vassals. 3. By having access to a royal court they will even generate some renown for our dynasty, if their CG is higher than expected. That can of course be amplified by giving them artifacts that you have no use for, that increase CG 4. I am pretty sure you receive fame regardless of if you are actually leading the army in a battle or not 5. The only way to stay under the vassal limit (even if it is increased by traditions) in world conquest games is by handing out multiple kingdom titles to single rulers. as you mentioned
Incredible video, Zieley, truly an epic conquest to bear witness to. Now switch characters and see how fast you can bring the realm to ruin like you did to the super Umayyad empire. Thanks for always working so hard for us!! 👑
Honestly could be an insane idea
@@Zieley Create as many empire titles as you can, then go for it.
@@Zieley Maybe let a fan send in a wc of it's own and then reverse 'fix his savefile' like you do in other vids? nvm literally the next vid I click I see you doing a similar thing lol
Oh lord, a 2 hours video! You outdid yourself bro. Also, the one thing that really makes me laugh about the mighty New Zielander Empire is that is so multicultural and chaotic, but that's exactly what I wanted in the first place. Props to you
I did Lingua Franca with Haestein; First Cagliari, then the Byzantines, then Rome, reviving the Roman Empire and Hellenism and reforming it towards a Norse-type religion. Picking up by the sword along the way. It was the longest game I ever played, but it was a lot of fun
Oh, Haestein. So many different world conquests with him, brings me good memories. I am a fan of the semi historical conquerors. They really fit my style of holy wars and siring 15 children per character, then giving the land to the kids and slowly building up my capital. By the end, my capital is always the most developed part of the world, my vassals pay me a lot more gold than levies, my dynasty rules pretty much every subrealm and plenty of duchies. It's all about creating a stable empire, that actually converts lands into my culture and religion, that doesn't break apart immediately and whose ruling dynasty is made up of eugenics bred charismatic geniuses.
Zieley chooses Jarl Hæstin. Koifish:Hello there...
if don't find him commenting on this vid i'ma scream
I loved the editing in this video, I can tell this took alot of effort. Thanks for making this!
You picked Hæsteinn and I immediately heard Koifish screaming in the back of my head.
I tried this a while ago and only got Europe before the end date. But despite being really lazy with my planning, I ended up with 500k troops and 800 gold income. No idea what led it to being such a massive success, but I made an effort to convert as many places to my culture and religion as possible. I rarely had any factions at all and only had to deal with peasant revolts. I also had such an extreme amount of money that I was upgrading my vassals' land too. I didn't even have the gold mines, it was all from buildings and tax, and my capital development was only 60-70. So task failed successfully I guess. I had no idea what I was doing.
Literally same right now. I just brought back the HRE and control all of Italy (expect Rome), Bavaria and Saxony, and then coastline of North Africa, Jerusalem and then all islands within the Mediterranean. I am making some +300 golf a month and have about 110,000 troops. I control relatively much less than he is but you can still dominate the gold and levies
Just watched the whole vid, Epic! Also appreciate your style of edits - pacing, humor and explaining your choices in a bit more detail from time to time - just makes it great to watch.
Bro I was worried you hadn't posted... but THIS? Holy crap. I can re-watch this for weeks. Keep up the great content (as always)!
Thank you Zieley for your content. I've been following your videos on and off for the last year or so. This video was perfect. It helped me broaden how I think about the empire to expand. Showing this much information in a 90 minute video is just brilliant. Again, thank you for taking the time.
Nearly two hours of Zieley, what a treat!
This is absolutely beautiful! You did a great job Zieley! Thanks for all of the amazing content you creating about this game! I love it!
This video is amazing. Since I started playing ck3 which is about 3-4 months ago, I always wanted to see a world conquest video but I didn't really find one that could keep me engaged like this one did. Some were too long, some had no commentary. This one is just perfect and damn amazing
i started playing literally a couple of days ago and i already love your channel. thanks for the "tutorial" of conquering irland. more of that would be much aprecciated
The Byzantine Empire collapsing at 18:48 was an amazing stroke of luck for this run. Love this content!
Just recently got CK3 and found your videos recently too. You do an amazing job. The clips, your script, the runescape guy, the humor, I feel like you made this for me. So damn good.
subbed. Loved watching you play and the memes had me in tears
Love the videos man. That smooth sultry voice luls me into a trance and then WAM!!!! ADDS AT MAX VOLUME
Love the memes and editing! Nice work - my overlord.
Your voice is so calming, falling asleep to this yesterday was one of the fastest times I've ever fallen asleep. Now I gotta rewatch most of it tho 'cause I sleept through it ):
At around 28 minutes, when you took the Kingdom of Bavaria, there's another silver mine in the county of Innsbruck. Should you ever wanna go for another insane world conquest 😂 Great video as always! Glad, it only almost killed you 😅
done watching the whole vid, how you keep up with everything is amazing to see every option you explore is the right play. You Sir in my book are the best Ck3 youtuber i have seen. Glad your back in the saddle after the robbery keep up. will watch anything you decide to make. GG
love the editing, made watching such a long video pretty entertaining
Incredibly amazing. You are a Genius !
fuck this was a good video, easily your best yet, i usually play your videos while im doing chores but i actually sat down on my couch and watched this whole thing, awesome job dude
The video I was waiting for. THANK YOU!
Hey Zieley, great vid as usual. FYI when dealing with inheritable traits, the different tiers of a trait do not reinforce each other. Meaning "Quick" and "Genius" do not work together to increase your odds of getting one. You have to get 2 of the exact same trait and tier to reinforce, and the reinforcement will be shown in in the marriage proposal screen. I think "Inbred" is the only exception to this rule. It's kinda dumb but that's how it works.
Man I really really appriciate all the efforts All the editing with meme sounds and all made around 2hr like 20min damn !!! Guys like you are ideal youtubers who don't half-ass their content . I really really liked this vedio . !!!!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!
Man your editing is freaking hilarious. I can not remember the last time I have genuinely laughed out loud while watching any form of media.
Almost a two hour video! What a blessed morning. Love your stuff mate ♥️♥️♥️
Great video as always! We want to see more videos from you❤
I've been waiting for this!
Can't get enough of your content. I dig your humor, voice, and editing homie
Great video. Appreciate the effort.. insane!!
The flag looks amazing, Loved the extra long vid
Awesome video man! Well done!
This is a phenomenal video
This is better than watching Netflix.
I think the court grandeur issue is because your son had a different court type than your court because if you notice the court type switched to administrative when I think beforehand it was the learning one? So I think since you switched court type it reset down to the lowest, that or your son was already landed and so had a low court level and that was inherited instead of yours.
Man, congrats! Great way to deal with everything. Tale a good nap now, knowing you did good to the internet!
Hooooly, congratulations Man!!! 🙌😮🎉
This is to sponsor the Roman video :) Great video as always. The memes just bring me back to the good old days of Ifunny and vine
Dude, this was fcking epic! Honestly had a great time watching this! Thank you!
Bro you got mad edits on that video which made it even more enjoyable!!!
Crazy effort! Congratulations!
Impressive Video! So much effort xD
Nice vid, just thanks for doing all of that for content for your channel and at the end you sounded like you were in pain.
Omg been waiting for this!
cheers on many accomplishments in one gift of content!
always look forward to some Zieley
I managed a world conquest in my first time playing through to the end date just last month. One trick I discovered for preventing civil wars during succession is to find a duchy title that you can make, whose land is completely controlled by a direct vassal that is already a duke or king. Create the title and grant it to another direct vassal that hates you, and preferably leads a faction. He will be grateful for being given the title. However, because he does not control any of the de jure counties, directly or via his own vassals, he will destroy that title. You can then make it again and then grant him that same title again. The opinion bonus stacks rather than overwrites, so you can keep doing this until the vassal is maxed in Opinion. The main flaw with this is the sink of money, so be sure to build yourself up to be making large bank by the time of late game. I suggest that you reform your faith and do the classic combo of establishing Communion and setting yourself as Head of Faith so that everyone else is constantly sending you indulgences. A bonus to this overall process is that your Prestige will skyrocket as a result of constantly purchasing titles, so it is also a good way to get your new character straight to Living Legend within a couple of in-game months.
Congrats! Well done!
This was epic. Thanks for putting so much effort into this. Hope you can get some rest now without the algorithm punishing you.
Great to have you back my guy
Man, seeing you try the most difficult challenge using all the tools in your arsenal, after watching you for more than a year. It was like a character arch in a movie. Reeaaaallly enjoyed. The only this that I would do differently is stared the king vassals early and going full diplomacy focus and education after a certain size. Because money did not matter anymore, only your vassals Realy enjoyed man, big fan of your work!!
Another most enjoyable video, Zieley. Thank you.
Man I was struggling to face rising faction in a tiny kingdom yet you managed to conquer all 😂. Great vids will definitely subs you!
very enjoyable!! to put it in one word... Sensational!
so satisfying!! Thanks
This was so worth the wait. Almost 2 hours of Zieley CK3 content? Let him COOK
Love the long video style
17:35 I think it was a missed opportunity not also getting communion here. I haven't finished watching yet but there would be a huge bonus. You can basically never fail a plot with a large religion and communion money.
This was incredible. Good job doing this purely vanilla 👌
You can learn more languages than it is your limit, but then there is an event when you may give up some languages or be more stressed. You could do that pretty much infinitely.
Miss you videos man!!
The time lapse of granting lands is so soothing.
18:30 everytime you do holy war this music plays reminds me of ck2 when anything happen the horns and trumpets go off
Just had to comment, thank you for your time and efforts for our enjoyment
One needs to really appreciate the EDITOR for those. The thing about the editing is that it is very TASTEFUL. Not overmemed, never obstructing your original content, volumes extremely well balanced on each and every single overdub, and perfect comedic timing. Whoever did this - they need a raise and/or a lot more contracts from other content creators. My god, this is pure bliss in comparison anything I have seen so far from the gaming scene as a whole. SpiffingBrit has nothing on this!
Zieley. Just want to say mate. I am new to the game and as such been watching a lot of vids, I have to say I think yours are the best i have seen so far, from a learning aspect and editing they're shit hot. Good job my man.
That was truly amazing
Love your vids
IT took me a few days to watch the entire Video but im impressed by your persistence and making IT to the End GG
Nice vid Z! I wonder if Koifish saw this vid. He’s the Haesteinn fanatic, but he’s never attempted this. I think he would like it. I can’t imagine how long it took you to put this together. 2 hours for us has got to be days or weeks with editing. Much appreciated. Thanks for this.
Thank you for the treat Zieley!
He do be back, finally but with a banger!!❤ Love from me and my friend owen❤
