0 Diplomacy LUNATIC - CK3

Rhombulus has always been different - a lunatic obsessed with Rome hundreds of years after the great Empire's collapse - type of different. In the start of this video series we take a look at our not-yet-lovable loser and see if he can navigate love, brotherhood, friendship, and the troubles of being a lunatic ruler which innumerable hang-ups.
Thank you to Dariomed who gave me the suggestion for the region, idea, discord, and much more.
Thank you to the mods:

Better Barbershop
Better Camera Zoom

As a Romanian, our history books don't even regard his achievements, and not a single chronicle says he existed, but considering how his character matches with the ones of pretty well known Romanians in media i wouldn't doubt he did exist.

[@DaFloove]

Hahahaha. I think his exclusion from history books will make more sense when the series ends.

[@dariusdm792]

Darius is the best character for sure(totally not a biased opinion since I voiced him)

[@DaFloove]

He’s the best character by farrrr. I’m excited for Rectanglius to grow up and for everyone to see the other weird characters that pop up

[@Zephmir]

Can’t wait to see the stand-off with Mingus, the best diplomat vs the strongest man.

[@DaFloove]

Hahaha Mingus would win, hands down

[@jmatos316]

a tale of a rhombus headed man who aspires high but for wife's own charisma, opportunity would pass by for his head is squared, and not sound whereas the crown is solid, and quite round -Count Hehm Von Buhrgher

[@DaFloove]

Von Buhrgher has done it again!

[@JustSomeGuy9J6]

Rhombulus is the most historically accurate CK3 Roman I've ever seen.

[@DaFloove]

He’s got that beautiful Frankish/Lord Farquad hair that the Romans were famous for!

[@fuadlabib703]

Damn the video quality went up the second voices when the character is talking to other characters is actually a really good innovation

[@DaFloove]

Appreciate it! I definitely can see improvements with this video over previous ones as well. I also really like showing the warfare through the letter and stuff that isn’t direct

[@ZenexTheZealous]

Rhombulus needs to become Catholic because in this period it may be called the *Latin* Church. Excellent work as always, Floove! Keep 'em coming!

[@DaFloove]

Damn, I should've had him reform the church lol. Thanks my dude. When we making the Croatia series?

[@therealcnado]

Yet another banger. I like the inclusion of different voices. 10/10

[@DaFloove]

Thank ya. I was wondering how people would feel about more voiced characters

[@Stejers]

Another idea is to make a series about Joe Parkin and how he became the coolest guy ever (Maybe make him a type of Deus Ex Machina for the characters of those videos, a type of badass spirit that guides those with bad skills to be the best in said skill)

[@DaFloove]

Hahaha so in our discord group we discovered that Joe Parkin is an Easter Egg character - so I don’t think I can play as him (I couldn’t get his DNA), but I do have him…returning in a way that you speak of in a future series lol.

[@bernard832]

I love lunatic for glass monument, but I haven't gotten it since tours and tournaments.

[@DaFloove]

I’ve never played as a lunatic before, and I really enjoyed it. I didn’t know what to expect, and him seeing his dead father was definitely not planned - I just made a goofy looking father character and I’m glad I did! Made the story weird and insane hahaha

[@EDMatheuz]

His wife is a skinwalker

@@EDMatheuz my gf told me to not look up what that is because it’s scary - I’m about to look it up

He has a split personality that thinks he’s the Byzantine emperor.

[@greekandbulgariangamertv8633]

YESSSSSSS Romulus and vlach (I am saying that because I am aromanian well and aromanian) also is the name Darius have something to do with a series that sumo made because that he is loyal is really ironic

[@DaFloove]

Let’s goooooo. Nah, Darius was made by a friend I met through video editing - he gave me the idea to do a Vlach playthrough and he made that character. I actually beefed his skills up though 🤠

[@greekandbulgariangamertv8633]

@@DaFloove aaa ok I am just theorising but it is interesting if you think that in the series Darius killed his king and started a communist populist monarchist rebellion it is a nice series if you like the game mount and blade ii bannerlord

I do a bit of amateur voice acting. I specialize in everything villainous, but my accent (Received Pronunciation, i.e. standard british) predisposes me to being good at voicing pretentious, ostentatious types like Rhombulus. Give me a shout if you're interested in trying me out.

How did you make your family?

[@DaFloove]

A new friend created Darius. I sorta of thought about the story I wanted to tell and the goofy elements. So I’m going to be forming Romania…Romania (Rome Mania) - a character obsessed with Rome. Name him Rhombulus, make his head in the shape of a Rhombus…it sorta just snowballed from there lol. Other than that, I just kinda go with the flow and don’t have any of the larger story planned. Just sorta worked out that I started saying Rhombo is prejudiced against Greeks for being the eastern Romans, and his father’s name was already Isosceles so I figured that’s Greek lol

[@FelixHistoryandGaming]

@@DaFloove Cool but like are they all related ingame or just separate characters btw how did you make a dad that died in 831?
