I love mega campaigns , I know these must be hard work but there the best! Keep up the good work

vic2 was nuts with rome returning... and then we all died to skynet. Love the inclusion of Stellaris though, haha
@@Jay2480 it's hard to know whether or not to include stellaris, but then I figure those who don't want it can just stop watching at hoi4!
the EU4 timeline was mad
A few uncommon tags for sure
Ming getting destroyed, Persia collapsing, and whatever happened in Russia was certainly interesting
@@Jay2480 Persia former Khorasan. They didnt collapse
Victoria 2*
I love the little knock on effects that happen in mega campaigns like this. Like how rome in imperator never managed to establish a foot hold on the british isle thus leading to them being a bastion of drudic faith and culture through out the rest of the campaign
Had one where a viking took over Hungary in ck3- Hungary was Norse for the rest of the Campaign.
Yeah its cool when those little things trickle down through the ages
I had one where some indian country took Jerusalem in CK3, and then Jerusalem was hindu the rest of the game
Nice to see Macedonia
😃
Love these mega campaigns
thanks
Same here, and I would gladly die to protect that tiny ass republic in central Africa at 9:20

Glad you inlcuded Stellaris 👽
Yeah it doesn't always fit in
@GeneralPol my headcanon is that the Galactic Empire was the remnants of the Spanish ...not sure about Mordor, though. The Chinese??
Rome even did well in Stellaris, well for a while...
😁
That was a big Armenia
It's 'was' a big Armenia
@@GeneralPol Just like the real world :(
Another good one...
Thanks
The Germanics always die out in Imperator sadly.
Yeah, its very hard for them to survive Imperator
supra cool
😀
Bit more detail than usual at end of Vicky, I like :)
Yeah I included a few additional map modes
immagine being an empire that lives thru arround 4500ish years, just to be dethroned by some guys that call themselves the zero zero onans
It would be cool to finally have vic 3 integrated into these
Some day maybe, I've done 1 thats up to vic3. With the dev coming along for the convertor maybe I'll do one soon
Hoi4 is out but requires heavy customisation
Victoria 2 > Victoria 3
@Jay2480 I might do some experimentation
The Perisans took the place of the Mongols in Ck3, and their color
That they did
Armenia OTL: "We ruled from sea to sea!" "Sure grandpa let's get you to bed." Armenia, this timeline: "We rule from sea to sea to sea to sea!!! Persian gulf I think you mean Armenian gulf! Wait what do you mean Greek rebellion in Iraq what the fu-"
😀
Disappointed you didn't include Christianity mod, but we got some Orthodoxes not really important, but ok. I'd like to think about Hellenic and Old Hellenic (It makes even more sense, because iirc it was Eleusinian in Imperator and CK) being this world version of Catholic and Orthodox and Mithraism being first and foremost "Crusades" target (as they are warlike religion similar to how Islam was)
The Imperator section i'd actuallly recorded a few months back. But next time i'll be using more mods! 😀
Annoying Abrahamic Religion Fan:
@@fabianvoigtlander1042 You want it or not Abrahamic religions influenced majority of the modern nations and their history even the one who does not believe in them
@@Pigraider268 The Abrahamic Religions caused alot of Suffering. They Are Dangerous.
@@Pigraider268 Simply put they would not exist in most timelines as they were an incredibly rare and unlikely to happen event. Your view is deterministic, any timeline that starts in imperator means Christianity likely should not exist.
No Vicky 3?🤣
Not for a while, the Vic3 -> HOi4 convertor is still being developed (as is Vic 3 to be fair)

A very different Europe by the time it got to EU4
Was a little different alright
Very different once vick2 was finished
Woo, another megacampaign! I appreciate how long these take to do, nice one :)
Ah they take about a week, a game a day is what I aim for
Good job!
Thx 😊
Go the mighty Roman Empire!

Great timelapse
😊
the fact that britain still happened for some reason brings me great joy
😀
True Britain
It's a shame the world powers are all pretty ingrained by the time of Hoi4, as that game is where wars can make the biggest difference but needs a push to really have anything happen due to focuses.
Nice to see Egypt in this timeline. Rarely survives.
It did really well in this one!
would've expected India to ominate overall by the end, the only empire that survived from Imperator Rome
Yeah they didn't really end up doing much, especially given that fact
I love megacampaigns but i feel EU4 kinda break them. (EU5???????) How hard is to do a mega campaing with VIC3 instead of VIC2?
The Vic3 to Hoi4 convertor is still being developed, might test it against soon
@@GeneralPol I'm looking forward to it. Love your mega campaing timelapses, keep up the good work
@@Zigorel thanks 😊
The unconquerable India!
👍
If only it was like that IRL 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Very cool! What mod hads the Mithran religion?
Only mod i'm running was Invictus
EU4 did Persia dirty
It did, they where going so well....
these never get old
I'm glad 😆
Permia 3rd place! Humanity is strong!
They did good! 😄
I love this so much
That roman comeback in a timelapse such as this one, was unexpected and amazing. Such a shame a megacampaign is not a fun thing to do.
I feel like you could do better with Stellaris, like give us an overview of the starting and ending governments(Ethics and Civics) of the countries from the Megacampaign, and maybe include significant factions from HOI4 via the lost colony Origin. Heck, you could just same the Stellaris nations after the factions, like if you did so here we could have the "League of Nations" and "Latin Bloc" instead of "Space Spain" and "Space Rome", though maybe a little creativity could be good, like renaming the League of Nations to "The Democratic League" or "League of X"(X being whatever you'd call their planet if their a lost colony" and the Latin Bloc to "The Latin Sphere" or "Latin Empire", though given the context of the Latin Bloc and how you made them a federation between the largest members, it makes enough sense to be space rome. Given the Machine Rebellion, I'd also would of liked to see the Status of Earth as well, and maybe a Start and end overview of the home planets/capitals of the converted nations would be good too. Going with the Lost Colony idea for other Major factions would also help with at least ONE of the converted nations to do with, which we at least saw Rome do better than many of the other ones, as well as maybe reducing the number of the AI, but that depends I guess.
I agree, still working on the best way to incorporate stellaris, these are some very good suggestions, thanks for that!
@@GeneralPol You're welcome!
roman empire survived so long just to be wiped by some random ass aliens
unfortunately
Would it be possible to set this up but give Rome an immortal leader and see if they actually managed to stay stable in CK3 and move on to conquer the world?
I'm not sure, but perhaps it's something I'll try in the future
The emperor of the Imperium plays these games consecutively as practice
😀
We REALLY need a post WWII Paradox game.
Would be nice, but would it work?
@@GeneralPoli think there was an abandoned project called west vs east which was basically like hoi4 but cold war
@@GeneralPol There are mods for HOI4 Victoria that already do a decent job of simulating a post war world. Still-the concept could use its own title as HOI4 is more of a hot war focused game while Vicky is a blobber.
The Roman's never died
I just love to see culture and religion changes as time progresses. my most favorite part is seeing CK3 religions, you have Hellenic, probably reformed into the Eleusinian and also Hellenic itself in places? then you have old hellenic, then you have an evolution of Hellenic in the form of Sol Invictus or as its known as Mithraism in the Makedonico-Persian Empire. The Orthodox faith somehow in the north Russia. Its amazing just to look at it. Edit: i need to know, what mods are used if any? for religions and nations or what not?
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. The only mod I used for this video was Invictus for Imperator
Great video!! Would love to see one where europe is stripped and the rest of the world takes it over
Thanks, thats an idea, But when would you cripple europe? by the time the next game comes around there would be new "Europeans"
Ahh, Arabian Arabia. Balanced, as all things should be
What’s that first song bc I hear it in all these videos and it’s marvelous
"A Lifetime of War" ))
31:55 Ah yes the nation of Mordor.
One of my custom Empires slipped in 😀
Ah some sections would be super long, for example the Imperator part is over 16hrs of gameplay!

When will you try it with Vic3?
Ahh yes, the great British Empire dominates the w... wait, we're WELSH?!
😆
I know it's a joke, but the Iceni weren't Welsh
Is there a way to get invictus into a mega campaign? I don’t know whether it is possible to convert it.
You can indeed, I've ran several mega campaigns with Invictus, extended timeline etc. Just run the game with the mods as normal, then convert when done, and it should work.
Imagine telling an ancient roman that they would eventually conquer the heavens
😀
Arabian Arabia ;-;
Imagine at the end its just no matter what gonna be earth and after all that war and epic stories and battle of different eras basically different worlds from the beautiful untouched planes to early medieval forests and ruins to kolonization of different islands new discovered to a world filled with war to a single planet in space only to be consumed by some Galactic Empire that cant be defeated despite all that experience in war. 😂
Sad to see years of human progress, war and unification just to get screwed over by some aliens at the end
Its what happens when humans go out of earth
NExt tiem skip Imperator and start with CK3
I prob will alternate the starting game, to mix things up
For the glory of Rome
😍
I feel bad for Egypt, they survived the entire time but didn't make the cut, Rome was brought back out of nowhere and won. I like Rome but that kind of felt like a cheat.
They got screwed over in the end
Why such a huge time overlap between the first pair of games again? Why not to end Emperor exactly at the year when CK starts?
I actually did, Imperator uses AUC instead of BC/AD, so when I finish in the year 1621 AUC, this is actually the year 867 AD
@@GeneralPol "from the founding of Rome"? Ok then.
can't believe someone had to actually wait this long on imperator for it to get to 867, oh the poor pc
Glory to the Roman Empire
To Rome!
Just 100 shy of 3000 years
Ah yes. Arabian Arabia.
Permia number 3 in life
Thrace was the Byzantine empire of this timelapse
would like to know what to do with the time gap between imperator and ck3. If you convert from the end date to the beginning everyone becomes 800 years old and quickly dies. If you keep playing the game becomes a slog because it doesnt have any post 20BC content.
The 'Timeline Extension for Invictus' mod helps a bit. Or you could always put the game in observer mode and leave it for a few hours (and hope the AI doesn't mess your Empire up too much!)
@@GeneralPol yea i did all of that but it works poorly (some TE events dont activate if you didnt start with the mod enabled and ai in the observer mode governed so great that my empire split in to 5 in 100 years). Currently trying the fallen eagle mod for ck3 with its earlier starting date, will see if i could manage to remain playing the game for 1000 years.
one big mistake that i think i did during conversion is enabled to transfer legions as special troops. Now all big nations have these 100k strong free armies and the power balance will probably not change.
The fact is one of the 3 Great Empire (Roman Persian and India) of the first game survive all the time : India (I don't see if he die in the end)
Finnaly Monkeydonia had achieved its dream.

And how would you imagine this game?
@@GeneralPol like eu4 mixed with vic 3 But with more emphasis on battle strategy,frontlines and other stuff like colonial companies like the voc Technology trees with fulminate,rifle muskets, percussion caps and stuff like that Emphasis on cultural development giving you more prestige leading to more people for professional armies and more people wanting to be allies and so on

U should live stream this like j make a stream and then play the video so people can like root for nations and stuff
As in a premier of the video, or live stream the recording of the game, cos that goes on for hours (Imperator section takes about 16 to18 hrs)
Why don't you use Vic 3??
Bit strange how somehow every nation got part of the galaxy 😂 but alright.
