oh my oh
oh
what this is this is fine
this is not fine
[Music]
hello everyone and welcome back to
crusaders kings three
well you get to do the introduction
today elizabeth yes i just did it i just
did it
before you can take the reins and derail
my my my good state of mind with your
puns i decided to just
take control it's gonna be time
elizabeth
welcome back
and hi as always i'm your friendly
neighborhood community manager troy here
to give you the good word about crusader
kings 3. matt unfortunately is not able
to join us today he was having some kind
of tummy issues we suspect he ate one
too many questionable street side uh
sausages and
decided he was going to spend the day at
home so here we are
enjoying crusader kings we did we did
end on a weird note during our summer
streams we were keeping the duchy
together elizabeth was doing a great job
despite matt and i's fantastic
assistants
but we figured we'd switch it up today
yeah we did manage it was it was good
you know right up until that last point
where our ruler you know just kind of
mysteriously perished um so today we
figured we would uh start somewhere new
we don't give africa a lot of love and
play-throughs we've only had one
playthrough of it so far but today we
figured we would show it off see if we
could get a a nice stream session
started see if we can start off as one
of the minor holdings and see if we can
make it to unifying africa in this
stream
without much further ado i will let the
wonderful elizabeth take over to guide
us and describe what's going on yes so i
was
thinking of actually not necessarily
doing for a counter starting with a
duchy uh specifically the one duchy in
uh in uh sub-saharan here
which is uh apart from the northern
parts here that is islamic um
i don't know if it's going to be uh
how hard it's going to be if i guess i
have never played in africa before so
it's going to be an experience but i
reckon that everyone around is going to
hate our guts we have a big ghana to our
north who's probably going to be
facing and breathing down our necks and
i think it's going to be absolutely
lovely to panic over all these people
around us that hate our guts we are a
tribal
um government
so we i do have some lee where we can
get some rates going to get some
money
but we still have this big feudal ghana
to our north that might be eyeing our
everything they do have some claims on
pressed claims on our soil so it's going
to be
lovely
for ourselves
we have no outstanding claims we are we
have
no domain like we don't have stewardship
worth anything
so uh everyone's gonna hate our guts
yeah and uh
i just think to myself this is gonna be
great it's gonna be fun yeah like i said
i i really i really you know africa
either either turns into
hey everyone we've got all these
fantastic events or oh god we're
drowning
i think this is going to be wonderful
stewardship we have our spymaster that
hates our guts actually everyone hates
our guts yeah um
and that's what i was saying is like
it's either it's either
oh everything is fine or all of a sudden
it's
um
[Music]
our
our uh our wife
is not helping us at all with the
stewardship she can she she can stab
she couldn't she couldn't resist without
me fine but that's about it
so
um let's see here
i'm actually a little bit uncertain
where to start here but
i want to get some money first and
foremost so just declare war immediately
that's that's how you win at ck3 right
no don't worry about your court don't
worry about politics just declaring it
are we fine it'll be fine it'll be fine
it'll be fine it'll be fine i think i'm
going to just go and
take this one it's money first though
just hi hello here we are
your friendly neighborhood don't mind us
they are uh
it's going to be rough though we might
actually not be able to get too well
with this one
no i don't agree with you
it's it's going to be it's we'll see
we shall see i mean the worst case
scenario is that you
literally die in the first 15 minutes of
the stream and we have to figure out
what's going on
yes
so another thing is that we can't really
leverage your marshall too well because
we are bad at it we do have our intrigue
and
i think
i think i'm going to follow this down
here actually never gone for torture
retreat because i haven't slayed
yeah
the library has its advantages but
you quickly very quickly uh end up as a
as a a pariah in the middle of nowhere
like if you if you focus too hard on the
torture tree you get to the point where
it's like
nobody wants to be on good terms with
you because everyone mysteriously
vanishes when they come to talk to you
about things so
the alternative is actually the
temptation tree um
mostly because we have no air and i
would like to
you know spread our wings a little bit
to see what we can get with that
it should be fun yeah let's do it
i'm down yeah
seduction tree oh this number of hours
is actually quite weak and i think
we need to just we desperately just need
to expand we do
um
we can't use the duchy
no we don't we aren't we aren't cool
enough for that no
but we can
yeah we can we can get the county itself
so
and this is ours
let's uh
you know there was a discussion last
time
i mean we are we're outnumbering them we
can do this
uh until they call on their allies
what allies they have no allies
i mean yet wait until they they figure
out that they can just call in friends
they'll be like hey
you hate them too right just come
it'll be a barbecue it'd be great
got some shrimp
cut some veggies
oh we're gonna we're gonna use the uh
the best casus ballet which is always we
want their stuff
right so i gotta ask there's a lot of
news this week
absolutely
how you feeling about this news
i am quite happy to see uh the
announcement for uh for kisik on console
yeah
yeah so if you all kind of missed it if
you if you missed it last night uh we
were part of gamescom and we announced
that coming soon we will have
crusader kings 3 on next gen consoles so
we'll be opening up all that nonsense
and pre-orders and wish lists as soon as
we're able
but in the meantime we definitely do
have a new section on the website so if
you have not been on our website
recently ie the past 24 hours definitely
go check us out check out the crusader
kings through website and you will see
our new console segment
as always we're keeping our community
together so if you are part of the
discord we will be opening up channels
and discussions on there or you can just
talk with your friends that are on there
the the idea is to make it so that
console and pc players have a place
together that they can share and enjoy
the game with each other
in other news we were discussing
artifacts
the lovely world of artifacts um and uh
we we discussed how the timeline for
royal court might be a little a little
bit behind schedule
to make sure that we get everything
everything stable have everything up to
snuff and we're working on the brick
projects and having the right priorities
but uh i know elizabeth you've been
working
absolutely tirelessly on that you want
to discuss any of your work that you can
discuss
hey i absolutely can um
i mean we've already seen that a little
bit of a teaser on
on some stuff we've been doing
a little bit of it
in the the most recent dev diary
and uh
just one part of it i'm working on just
making things looking very very spiffy
and fancy at least for that one and this
let's just get this one off and quickly
so we can and there we go
you know he's going to come back again
yep there he is hi
yeah
you know let's just let's just stop this
and
get the stuff
this is ours thank you this is this is
mine good
good uh but as i was saying uh the uh
i've been doing some work on the court
for you most um
on the ui of the court you that's been
what i'm doing this week together with
some other things making all because
it's it has to feel royal you know and i
think that's going to be topic for debra
in the future don't have a timeline for
that
but it's important to make it feel regal
yes what's the point of having all these
shiny new things if it just feels like
you're in somebody's you know backyard
and shed looking at shiny toys yeah
there was also some questions on the
thread regarding the uh
the uh the little
time bar
which was the durability one right and
how that goes all in and
i think it was mentioned at
an earlier talk that there will be an
antiquarian
if if it isn't then you heard it here or
ready from the thread first
that is a system i am very involved in
but that will be uh a subject for a dev
dive in the future sometime not sure
quite when you heard it folks dev diary
topic for the future you already have a
sneak peek
so so you're getting a first impressions
on it right here that we have the return
of minor titles but it's that's not the
news but we have uh that's the system
i've been working on that's that's my
little that's my little baby
good good you gotta you gotta toot your
own horn every once in a while you know
of course raise your flag and let it fly
in the wind
okay so
uh speaking of which we just we just got
some territories
yes
do we have what we need to actually
get that duchy though because i would
like to actually
oh i've made a mistake
well here we are
this is the way i should be expanding in
because i need it i need to get myself a
kingdom
so i can actually start handing out all
this stuff
and i've gone in a completely wrong way
as you do
you know it's matt's fault
it is how easy that is we just blame
matt well it's like it's like how we had
the the stream a few weeks back and you
know
matt was like oh who cares about witches
we just can't do anything i'll just you
know burn all these heretical witches at
the stake and then the curse of stacy
came back and bit him you know where she
was fighting him on on leaving the
witches alone for so long and then
as soon as she left he was like nope
burn the witches and then he died the
next day under mysterious circumstances
what did you
expect which is uh which is are
vindictive yeah
yeah so let's see here we have uh
we desperately need to give out some of
these whole things okay this one let's
let's let's grant these holdings to we
have no one to grant anything to you
this is what happens when we don't have
friends
we we should make some friends i guess i
should make some friends i mean i have a
uh i have a
let's see we have some guests that we
can probably hire i mean we have a
competent fighter here why do you why do
you hate me
oh you're zealous yeah well but i still
want to
can you
i mean it's almost like we're
known as a torturer or something already
that's weird i mean
can we can we have you convert
no
no you will not
no you will not no
but you will still you will still get a
title from me because i need to hand out
these titles now we actually have some
armies at least a little bit uh let's go
out on raids and see what we can
actually get some money from you have uh
the guys all you have
not
this the just the absolute life out of
us last time
won't happen again nobody
uh they were
oh yeah but we have a 20 uh we have a
very skilled marshal this time around
yeah exactly won't happen again buddy
and we have uh
yeah it should be we should be fine here
right
yeah it'll be fine it'll be good should
be fine
don't mind us everyone we're just uh
wandering the countryside
over domain limit
i mean it's not so bad as it was before
but
really atrocious before
really atrocious before but
now he's for whittling it down slowly
look as soon as we have that diplomat do
his job maybe we'll get a new friend
oh my oh
oh
what
this is this is fine
this is not fine
that's fine wait um oh i know what's up
here what did you do ellis why is my com
wait why aren't you uh
did you not assign him to your
he was commanding though
please how about that you sure about
that
oh no
oh these these dice rolls
i pray for our little troops
[Music]
okay but why was
why
he was
why weren't you commanding like you were
supposed to i'd yeah i saw it since the
battle started and was like wait a
minute something is wrong something has
gone horribly wrong
[Music]
okay um we can recover oh look back to
two council members that don't hate us
[Laughter]
uh
i mean i'm not so too afraid of
my my spymaster wanted to kill me i
guess right now maybe we should probably
fix that then
we are busy trying to improve on our
[Music]
marshall right now i want to get my
marshall positive first yeah that would
probably help with you know
the whole declaring wars and raids and
stuff thing
yes
uh all right
uh sure we can spread prestige
yeah we don't need it we're not doing
anything else right now with it
nope
okay we are okay
we are building our army now and i think
we can go to war with one of our
neighbors oh steadily oh good oh no
um
oh this is just an entry event uh
sure
wait who will that's your spinal of each
other this is fine yeah they can hate
each other
the more they hate each other the less
they are busy with hating me and i think
that's fine that's fair that's fair it's
a risky game but at this point
i mean divide and conquer oh fine
[Music]
the proper one okay actually are you yes
you're part of it you're part of mali
let's uh
use
the
you are ally with those ones up there
but
oh i actually can i can use holy wars
you can we are a different faith than
they are but the question is do i even
want to use holy wars when i can use the
other one
you just want to conquer one tiny little
county
i mean
that's all we can do right now anyway so
all the way to the mountains to the
mountains men
let's uh get to it
is our marshall sign this time
yes
this time
no sheriffs oh no
our advantage is still pretty bad
yeah it's not very good let's see
unreformed pagan common advantage
defending a river crossing yeah it's uh
it's not the best
oh hey guys yeah come on down
yeah
come and uh actually maybe i should just
go and meet them there so i don't have
to deal with the penalty of uh getting
them here yeah probably a good call
see see common advantage
i know how to play this game
hey stack wife excellent
[Laughter]
sometimes i can play my own game
sometimes
sometimes i know how to play the game
i'm working on
i i get really like weirdly hyper
focused on minor tasks a lot and it's
not a bad thing necessarily but every
once in a while i'm just like i have to
conquer this one dude and i'm gonna
follow him to the ends of the earth and
i'm like oh what's that all my all my
lands are withering and dying while i'm
over here fine with the peasants
peasants no it's always the peasants
that's always the point oh that's a lot
of peasants it's yeah that's a lot
that's
a lot of peasants you know what guys
guys we're trying to make your life
better over here could you not come come
to my war against these peasants please
i want to finish this one first though
and i can deal with the peasants
afterwards
the pl the peasants aren't very pleasant
unpleasant peasants oh they're raiding
my everything over here that's bad
who is waiting my
oh god it's raining my stuff
of course they are you're away
i know they can get away with it
let's begin with uh taking this one
thank mine
and then you can deal with presents
peasant time
yeah i would rather not lose this i
don't think i think i'm gonna lose this
one that's what's gonna feel this one
yeah you'll lose one i think but i think
we've got them anywhere else they go so
oh no maybe our allies came in all right
excellent
already paying dividends uh
perks
yes and shackle lust let's begin
introducing uh
let's begin seducing our enemies
like the peasant leaders definitely
that's a good idea
uh
i think actually i'm like how terrible
would that be just like yes i must
seduce my own peasantry to
sway them back to my cause
i mean
once every six years i have to sway a
peasant oh
she doesn't want to no
she doesn't want to be we have some
wonderful border gore though i mean it's
yeah it's killing me i'm slowly dying
thank you for reminding me
i was fine until you said something and
then i
hey
if you were concerned of
wait why
oh yeah they they declared an allegiance
with them so
hopefully this ends fast
this could be terrible
this could be very terrible here they
come
okay let's see uh i'm not gonna do this
okay um fine um fine hopefully our
allies are sending some people and we
just can't see them
uh we actually haven't called in our
allies though
oh well well well here we are
let's call them in and i think we're
just going to step back because i don't
want to be caught here with because this
is
hills and they are defenders
so let's uh
back out
wait for our oh no
okay good
i thought they were going to catch us
there for a second i was like yeah yeah
this is bad
well we could just go up there and deal
with them
actually we could no let's wait for
allies there's right there hey buddies
hey friends uh we have some
stuff there
stupid pillaging
where's my ally they're right you're
just living there
they're hanging out they're waiting for
you to decide what you want to do
come on
probably this doesn't help them oh [ __ ]
oh no oh no i'm sorry
i'm sorry i i i i speed five
that's it that's coming dead
okay uh it's like whack-a-mole but
there's no there's no mole it's just the
board gets destroyed
uh
well we're committing now please get
some good rolls we are
we have a much better advantage but it's
the whole
that role is awful yep we're do we're
doing great everyone we're we're just
having the time of our lives right now
it's a bold strategy we'll see if it if
it pays off
yes let's roll some no
no okay let's retreat let's let's let's
before we lose too many things let's
retreat
to our
[Music]
now where is our ally please he's just
hanging out he's just you know
chilling relaxing how do vassals want to
court position want uh
wants counsel positions you oh well i
can give this one though i mean
this one hates our guts this one also
hates a ghost but because they don't
have anything
they should help here gets less now yes
okay now we should actually have
positive opinion of our marshall too we
can actually move oh now over to
something else our child's educator has
died
oh that's a problem yeah
that's not good why did my child's
educator die
i have no one who actually knows
diplomacy i was gonna say this is bad
this is not good
you
