Ok so I'm half way through this video. You need to diverge your culture. Figure out what allows that cultural innovation. I do this with Vikings. Also if it is hard to do that look at the viking culture there is a trate there that you can adopt that allows you to diverge for only 25% acceptance. Also you could choose a trate that allows you to "vote" on your successor. I guess just look through your culture. It was more powerful of a mechanic than a lot of people know.

LYRICS: (Verse 1) I walked a line between right and wrong, Built a world where I don't belong. Whispered justice into empty air, But I was always unaware (Pre-Chorus) Forgotten faces, shadows in the night, Their echoes haunt me, just out of sight. Was it mercy, or was it pride? The guilt I buried just won't die. Forgotten faces, shadows in the night, Their echoes haunt me, just out of sight. Was it mercy, or was it pride? The guilt I buried just won't die. (Chorus) Persona non grata, I’ve lost my way, Falling through the cracks of the games I play. A name erased, a soul displaced, Persona non grata, I’m the fear I face. (Verse 2) Caught in webs of dimensions torn, Left behind what I’d sworn to mourn. She came for answers, but I gave her lies, Now I’m staring into her knowing eyes. (Pre-Chorus) Forgotten faces, shadows in the night, Their echoes haunt me, just out of sight. Was it mercy, or was it pride? The guilt I buried just won't die. Forgotten faces, shadows in the night, Their echoes haunt me, just out of sight. Was it mercy, or was it pride? The guilt I buried just won't die. (Chorus) Persona non grata, I’ve lost my way, Falling through the cracks of the games I play. A name erased, a soul displaced, Persona non grata, I’m the fear I face. (Bridge) What do you see, when you look at me? A hero, a coward, a memory? In this strange place, I don't belong, But neither did they, and now they're gone. Oh, I’m lost in the spaces between, A ghost in a world I’ve never seen. They’ll forget me, but I’ll be there, Now it's they who do not care. (Chorus) Persona non grata, I’ve lost my way, Falling through the cracks of the games I play. A name erased, a soul displaced, Persona non grata, I’m the fear I face. (Outro) So let the rift close, let my story fade, I’ll pay the price for the choices I've made. Persona non grata, a silent refrain, Dead to the world, but feeling the pain.

1:32:00 you noticed how fractured China was

I passed out half thru I think lol

is it asia expansion project or oriental empires mod

You adopted a wolf and became a wolf father after helping birthed the wolf puppies remember the kid you adopted episode or two ago with the wolf nickname just started this one I'm 7:00 in

Hear me out what if when you reform your faith you try to add the warrior priests like the Shaolin monks of Zen Buddhism maybe the far eastern church adopts warrior ways the Korean church i mean

First fifteen minutes got me interested the Asia expansion mod pretty much is interesting Holy Kingdom of Korea the Christian beacon in the far east I'm already fascinated by this saga thanks for sharing

You keep the find ppl thing on and get followers

23:38 bro ain't no way you say tuah 😂😂

Fun fact: Jurchens are in the base game since original release lol, one of my fav cultures

Honestly could've became apostolic because they got Cthonic tenets, making it easier to convert mountains and hills to your culture and religion, also made it harder for others to convert it to their culture and faiths. Plus, it fits with your culture, Goryeo and it fits the lands of your culture, another thing is the apostolics also became a stronghold of christianity in the middle east and asia so not bad roleplay. Anyway, hope your channel grows man

Lore: The Trial of the Hexamons is perhaps the last great thing the lost Empire of Mu did. Knowing that one day their civilization might have a chance at resurrection, they locked away the last thing that could give that to them away in a sealed chamber and devised a series of trials that only the most worthy could succeed in. These trials are collectively known as the Trial of the Hexamons (named after the subjects of the ancient Mu Empire, each ruled by a council of six). Now, many thousands of years later, our heroes, Jack Bishop, Tim Jones, and Lina Han (Lena Wu in the book), must succeed in the trials themselves-- not to resurrect Mu, but to secure their own survival...

Yeah!

Lyrics: (Verse 1) In the shadow of what once was grand, We stand on silent, ancient sand, The echoes of a golden age, Now whispers lost on faded page. Our once-great land now lies broken, Our stories untold, unspoken, Where once the light of wisdom shone, Darkness claims an empty throne (Chorus) In the downfall we still hear, The songs of old we held so dear Our stones have cracked, our glory is gone We will never see another dawn We mourn the loss of cloudless sky, Our legacy now left to die, Towers of our past so tall The mighty rise before the fall. (Verse 2) Beneath the stars that watched us fall, The ruins stand, a somber call, A legacy in dust and stone, A kingdom's pride, now overthrown. The marble halls that once were filled, With voices raised and spirits thrilled, Now echo only in the wind, A silent nod to our ruin. (Chorus) In the downfall we still hear, The songs of old we held so dear Our stones have cracked, our glory is gone We will never see another dawn We mourn the loss of cloudless sky, Our legacy now left to die, Towers of our past so tall The mighty rise before the fall. (Bridge) The winds of time have blown away, The dreams we built, in ruins gray, In memory, we find our pain, A dynasty washed away in rain. (Chorus) In the downfall we still hear, The songs of old we held so dear Our stones have cracked, our glory is gone We will never see another dawn We mourn the loss of cloudless sky, Our legacy now left to die, Towers of our past so tall The mighty rise before the fall.

LOVE IT! I need this song on my spotify!

LYRICS: One day sat I, asleep in my chair. You were next to me, but you weren't there. For I awoke to you, just checking on me, But I opened my eyes; it was only a dream. I remember when I had nothing to say, I remember the day I stepped on a plane. With a dragon I fought a battle and won, But I blinked...am I already done? Change was spent, snow fell to the earth, I learned how much my soul was worth. I lived a lifetime, but to my surprise, I lived it all in the blink of an eye. Who am I now? What have I done? Was I happy? Did I have fun? Did I find what I was looking for? Maybe I did, and so much more. For three years and more, I did not blink. But now I'm awake; was this all just a dream? And now, I don't know how to feel. When I'm home, will you check on me for real? Though I've been gone for a thousand days, In my heart, my home remains unchanged. And like a guiding light that has shone, I can see now that it's time to go home. -------------------- One day slept I, in my bedroom, alone, Dreaming of places far from my home. And I awoke and thought that I must be healed, For you were finally checking on me for real. I had truly gone home, I'd flown the great flight, But now I just wonder if that was right. Sure, there you were, with your hand on me, But home is now just strange land with family. I look around now and only feel lost, My lesson has come at a miscarried cost. It's now clear to me that I'm losing the race, And also that home is not just a place. Home is a feeling of where you belong, The bed you return to after you're gone. My journey seems done, my guiding light out, I should go to sleep, but my heart is still loud. Now I've been home for four hundred days, But my perception of home has since then changed. Though I've learned much, there's much I don't know. I suppose, after all, that I have two homes. One I was born in, and one where I grew, One where I sat, and one where I flew. One from which I must soon go, But though I will leave, I'm just going home. -------------------- Well, now I've been home for a thousand days, And now my second home's the one unchanged. I sleep alone in my bedroom and yearn For all the things I had yet to learn. I just wonder now if I shouldn't have left, But now it's too late, I've got my job and my pet, And a roar and a mane that are grizzled and old. If I go back now, what's left untold? Maybe adventures, with possibilities vast, Or perhaps I will only glide on the past. Maybe I'll learn, or remain unchanged, But what made it my home was not more of the same. It was chaos, confusion, and being perplexed. It was not knowing where I would eat next. It was trying new things, in joy and in fear, It was the sights to see, and the sounds to hear. Regardless of what echoes remain, I mustn't, I can't remain unchanged. I might be cursed to hear these echoes alone, But I'll listen, for they're calling me home.

Lyrics: 저 멀리서 왔구려 외인이여 찬란한 조선의 아침 시간을 건너 찾아온 그대 길을 묻는 듯 아득한 눈빛이여 외인아, 외인아, 이슬 흩날리는 정취를 느껴라 조선의 빛과 그늘 모두 그대의 발길 따라 가리라 늘 그대 옆에 춤추는 꽃잎 바람에 실려와 노래 부르네 조선의 기운 그대와 함께 흐름의 동반자로 걸음을 잇네 외인아, 외인아, 달빛 아래 춤추는 그림자를 보라 오랜 꿈과 이야기 그대 손길에 닿을 때까지 천년의 시간이 흘러가도 그대의 이야기 남겨지리 영원한 조선의 외인이여 우리의 가슴속에 전해질 노래여 외인아, 외인아, 별빛 내린 조용한 밤 가득 물들여라 시간을 건너 온 그대, 이 땅의 이야기를 전하리라 외인아 외인아... (ENGLISH) You’ve come from afar, Foreigner A brilliant Joseon morning You, who came across time Your distant eyes, they asked the way Foreigner, Foreigner, feel the mood of scattering dew Both the light and shade of Joseon will follow your footsteps The petals always dancing next to you The wind carries them, and they sing The spirit of Joseon is with you I continue my steps as a companion of the flow Foreigner, Foreigner, see the shadow dancing under the moonlight Showing old dreams and stories, until I reach your touch Though a thousand years may pass I will leave your story behind. Foreigner of eternal Joseon A song that endures in our hearts Foreigner, Foreigner, color the quiet starlit night You, who came across time, I will tell you the story of this land Foreigner Foreigner...

Lyrics: Once upon an early morning, as I sat alone and scorning, Depressed and lonely, although chatting with an ex-friend and therefore-- However without surmising, I was, in fact, to her advising, My dark and chilly soul revealing, concealed not once my lonely shore. As she rested, notifying, while I hushed there, nearly dying, I grasped potential flame with whom to soar. So said I, "I do adore." Babbled we till early mornings, observations so alluring, With the sparks, not embers, flying, such great peril we ignored-- Ev'ry time passion discharging, blinded still, I kept on charging Till the clock was so surprising, sleeping was naught but a chore. Swept and yet I just kept choosing fervor till it was confusing, Perfection, speed, and beauty I'd fall for, So said I, "I do adore." And when we then set up a meeting, came the day and we were greeting, Zealous mistakes, slithering snakes, all the while did her heart store-- Then when something she was wanting, with those daggers she'd be taunting, Taunting, teasing me until my fragile heart could take no more. Yet my fervor was still rising, heart unfazed, uncompromising, Unsatisfied, yet still, I wanted more. So said I, "I do adore." In her absence was I weeping, toss and turn did I while sleeping, Yet nothing, not even death, could deepen my mind's slumber more-- So I waited, lonely, longing, for I had been once belonging, Till one mid-September would my life be altered by a war. No longer were my eyes lighting, switched each day with some new fighting, This time only is different, I swore. So said I, "I still adore." Eager though, for winter coming, just what was all this becoming? Darkness, loneliness, and pain were knocking at my own front door-- The lesser of two evils choosing, I stayed and although I was losing, Leave and I would surely die from waiting on my lonely shore. Stay I did, just acquiescing, through the circumstance depressing, I could repair it if I just tried more. Still said I, "I do adore." Then came drought and I was starving, all the while was my heart hard'ning, Left on my own, growing were fantasies of visiting the Core-- To my old self then reverting, all the damage then reversing, Resting, healing, reeling from the chaos that did come before. Still sometimes would I be fighting, new concerns now was I lighting, Things are surely perfect at the Core. So said I, "I do adore." Arrive did I, again unflinching, still so tight were my eyes clenching, So again I was naked, vulnerable to what was in store-- Hard as I was always trying, ev'ry day harsh words were flying, Exhausted from fighting, I tried, but I could surely fight no more. So to her was I kow-towing, everything was I allowing, Trampled, stomped, and beaten, my heart was sore. So said I, "I can't adore." And so alone was I then living, my soul much too tired for giving, I talked, I walked, I rocked. "I'll never stop!" I zealously swore-- A new life was I now building, no longer desp'rate for gilding, Till I one day learned that my old flame could eject me from the Core. Scared I was to lose this feeling, still not wanting to be leaving. I must calm down for now, just a bit more. So said I, "I will adore." Still abuse was I receiving, once again was she deceiving, Stupidly, foolishly, I followed, though my heart she crushed and tore-- Still each day was she torturing, very little was assuring, Only the dimly lit reminder of staying in the Core. From old paths was I diverging, with the Core was I then merging, Versus this, I preferred my lonely shore. So said I, "Must I adore?" But then one day while I was slaving, as she stood there always raving, A new flame appeared, a flame to make me want to try once more-- Quietly was I then chatting, a new plan was I now hatching, A vow of secrets was I requiring, for blackout did I implore. No longer was I then crying, no longer was I then dying, For I now grasped true flame with whom to soar. So said I, "I can adore." And so when I found love long-lasting, no more from this true love fasting, A once great burden was then lifting, with wings I freely soared-- And so found I as I was leaving, this new flame not me deceiving, Not just love giving, but too receiving, no longer did I need more. For she was I then satisfying, and joyful tears was I then crying, For I was now truly ready to adore. I will adore, forevermore!

I'm the rat

These lyrics are based on a book I wrote (not yet published as of writing) called Eagle's Ascent. Lyrics: Two men fly Up in the sky For God and Empire Vandals die

Lyrics: In light of orange painted dusk An eagle falls to thirsty earth It yet draws breath but slowly so And calls to mind its ancient birth Can this eagle be revived It depends on all of us If we yet want to be free And not by a boot be crushed I weep for my sick nation Shining city turned to wastes Yet still my heart does gleam with hope We have time but must make haste Where deer and antelope once played Has become a gray and foggy waste Purple mountains majesty Now plagued with inward hate Can this eagle be revived It depends on all of us If we yet want to be free And not by a boot be crushed I weep for my sick nation Shining city turned to wastes Yet still my heart does gleam with hope We have time but must make haste I pray we can save our motherland Our stars and stripes together Can save our grand old flag and have Liberty forever We must always be the land of the free And homeland of the brave Above a renewed and verdant land Will our flag forever wave! Can this eagle be revived It depends on all of us If we yet want to be free And not by a boot be crushed I weep for my sick nation Shining city turned to wastes Yet still my heart does gleam with hope We have time but must make haste

I love this one!!

I remember this story from my childhood and I'm glad it was turned into an amazing song well done

Nice song!

This is my favorite song!!

Verse 1: In the heart of our great nation, where the sun meets the sea, Stands a beacon of our freedom, bold and ever free. With its towers reaching skyward, and its streets so grand and wide, Grand Central stands in all its glory, shining with pride. Chorus: Grand Central, home of the brave, Land where freedom’s flag will wave. In your heart, our dreams are true, Grand Central, we stand with you. Verse 2: From the bustling city markets to the parks so green and fair, Every corner of your streets shows how much we care. In your halls of justice, where the truth always prevails, Grand Central, you’re the heartbeat, guiding every sail. Chorus: Grand Central, home of the brave, Land where freedom’s flag will wave. In your heart, our dreams are true, Grand Central, we stand with you. Bridge: With every step, we honor those who built this land so free, In Grand Central’s light, we find our unity. Together we will rise, with hope and liberty, Grand Central, you’re the spirit of our destiny. Chorus: Grand Central, home of the brave, Land where freedom’s flag will wave. In your heart, our dreams are true, Grand Central, we stand with you.

Lyrics: A last wheeze bursts forth. The puff of smoke floats higher. Soul leaves the body, Face growing lighter. It's plain to see, This world is dying. Another tale Is surely lying. Brav'ry and courage Have been all but lost. Discretion, honor, Both white with frost. Everything offends, Oh, and nothing's funny. No one speaks the truth, Their skins are thin and runny. Surely rivalry, Must find its roots in race. Or gender, age, ethnicity. Why can't it just be hate? This world is truly dying, For all virtues of old, Honesty, loyalty, faith... No longer being told. When this world is finally dead, No one will remember, That we enlightened ones Know only of two genders. Conflict started this descent, And scared us all away. And if this world is truly dying It'll die right where it's laid. But still, it seems, There's one more breath, One final gasp for air. Be sure and take advantage Before seams begin to tear. Yes, our time is shorter But you must stand out from the rest. For this world is truly dying, But it isn't dead yet.

Lyrics: The rat squeaked at the lion and the lion roared He said life's gotta be something more The rat screamed at the lion, but he got away Off to find a better, brighter, brand new day Verse 1: In the Land of Morning Calm, a lion roamed with grace With a heart of gold, he faced each day with faith He loved a rat, so sly and so mean But to the Lion, she was his queen Pre-Chorus: Oh the lion and the rat, two hearts intertwined One with grace and courage, one with greed and lies They danced and they fought, in a tale so cruel But the lion's love was true, and he broke the rules Chorus: The rat squeaked at the lion and the lion roared He said life's gotta be something more The rat screamed at the lion, but he got away Off to find a better, brighter, brand new day Verse 2: The rat was cruel, and took the lion's heart Her lies so sharp, they tore him apart She played with his love, and shattered his dreams But the Lion's spirit, she could not defeat Pre-Chorus: Oh the lion and the rat, two hearts intertwined One with pride, one with lies They danced and they fought, in a tale so cruel But the lion's love was true, and he broke the rules The rat squeaked at the lion and the lion roared He said life's gotta be something more The rat screamed at the lion, but he got away Off to find a better, brighter, brand new day Bridge: But one day, the Lion came to see The rat's deceit, so cruel and unclean He shed her grip, and claimed his throne With a heart of courage, he stood alone Pre-Chorus: Oh the lion and the rat, two hearts intertwined One with courage and pride, one with greed and lies They danced and they fought, in a tale so cruel But the lion's love was true, and he was no fool Chorus: The rat squeaked at the lion and the lion roared He said life's gotta be something more The rat screamed at the lion, but he got away Off to find a better, brighter, brand new day Outro: The lion walks tall, with his head held high With a heart of gold, in the Land of Morning Sky For he reigns supreme, he is strong and wise A noble king of the sunrise A noble king of the sunrise!

Pretty nicee

I love this song!!

Lyrics: [verse 1] I wanted to hold on to it, With one lone thread, I ran. I did not think I could before, But now, I think I can. As time went on, I lost that thread. My mind was then alit: "Continue by continuing, Do it by doing it." [chorus] And now I found a stronger thread. And this thread sets me free. When all we have are memories Will you be next to me? And now I found a stronger thread. And this thread sets me free. When all we have are memories Will you be next to me? [verse 2] I think I can continue now, It's neither late nor soon. I have been lonely long enough. I think I can, with you. Because of you, I can push through, And much can I withstand. I think I'm truly ready now. I truly think I can.

Lyrics: Radiant lights, Harmonious vibrations... The rustling of life, Slumber awakened. A delightful communion, Alluring is unity. A lone cobblestone Captivates beautifully. Submarine windows Show a city of Soul. Spirited senses On a fanciful shoal. My time to dream Is yours to ponder. Moonlight shines, So one must wonder... Which lifetime Is mine to have? Elusive is This surreal map. A furious typhoon, And a weak, timid vessel. Yet a savior approaches, Eighty-nine bright petals. Immortalized You are. Submarine windows Show a city of Soul. Spirited senses On a fanciful shoal. My time to dream Is yours to ponder. Moonlight shines, So one must wonder... Submarine windows Show a city of Soul. Spirited senses On a fanciful shoal. My time to dream Is yours to ponder. Moonlight shines, So one must wonder... A sorrow defeated, As is the anguish. Madness not repeated: Courage to vanquish. Drips on the pages, Drops on the clothes. Rags find silk, The aperture, closed. City of Soul, The aperture closed. City of Soul, The aperture closed. City of Soul, The aperture closed.

Nice song!

Lyrics: Far out ahead, I see a hill. It beckons me and remains still. Standing, shining for all to see, Yet I feel this light shine right at me. It blinds me just initially, But I have hope, though struggling to see. It stands for all that's true and good, Not what one wills, but what one should. Another hill stands to my right. Smiling at me in the black of night. And now, quite terrifyingly, The beacon is inside of me. Yes, two hills stand lone tonight. A journey up one takes all one's might. For I want to be good, I want to be true. But the beacon inside wants something new. So if I go up that upright hill, I take what I should, and drop what I will. But what I will just lingers behind, And I can't shake it off, though I may try. But if I go to the smiling hill, I forsake what I should, embracing my will. I die for mere curiosity. So then, dilemma besets me. But I must go up the upright hill. What if what I should is what I will? For hope and sight, I will try; I will not stop until I die.

Nice job on this...One of my favorites

Alex did you break up? ㅋㅋㅋㅋI dont know why im subscribing this channel

Lyrics: O mote of memory, You must now leave from me. You gave me hope and helped me see, For years of almost three. Dearest mote of remembrance, With you and life I freely danced. And though that time has come and gone, I long for one more chance. I grieve for you, my poor mote. From you I took the most. For me you surely gave your all, Till naught remained but ghost. This, O mote, is what I say, Even when you've gone from me: The thought of you will lift my day, O mote of memory.

this is so gay
