15,000 Subscriber Special - AI Mega Campaign (CK3, EU4, VIC3, HOI4, Stellaris)

[@ahhlewis]

Thanks for watching! Links are in the description for the converters along with presets I used in Stellaris. I apologise for the video taking awhile but this is my first AI Mega Campaign I have ever done and I hope to improve in the future. That's all Discord: discord.com/invite/KTgYEfdcRs

At 8:30 Swedish Brazil confuses me massively. I can not find any evidence of Sweden conquering or settling in Brazil in the 1770s

[@ahhlewis]

@@captain_context9991 in the timeline, it seems the Portuguese and Spanish never colonised the Americas leaving a vacuum open for a strong power like Sweden to take its place

[@gurufabbes1]

Thanks a lot for posting! That Mongol Empire is terrifying. Just to give you some tips of what to add for a megacampaign if you plan to do this more: -Imperator: use the invictus mod and add the timeline extender, as well as the mod, crisis of the 3rd century -Europa Universalis: use the mod "responsible blobbing" which is made by the same people that made the converters. they recommend it as well to ensure you don't have some massive empire dominate the map forever without some fundamentals behind it

[@ahhlewis]

Thanks for the comment. I will look into the EU4 mod you suggested and hopefully next time I make a mega campaign, I will include Imperator to the collection along with its mod you suggested :)

[@gurufabbes1]

​@@ahhlewis You're welcome. In case you are curious what those mods do, another KZbin General Pol has run a few with the mods above. The result is usually a much more feasible timeline, Empires do not last forever and will often fall apart once they overextend and their subjects become independent, leading to a very dynamic and plausible timeline.

[@betin731]

@@ahhlewis for the Invictus modlist, I also highly, highly, highly recommend the virtual limes mod. It makes the AI generate MUCH cleaner borders in peace deals and it also encourages nations to vaguely follow their historical paths of expansion (for example, rome will usually conquer greece or spain after uniting italy instead of going straight to germany like in vanilla).

[@GeneralPol]

Great Mega Campaign, very nicely done!!

[@ahhlewis]

Thanks for the comment and thanks for the help you provided during the creation!

[@odiadordeisrael]

eu4 always turns the world map into a dozen of continent spanning empires. i'm kind of waiting for eu5 to fix this so we can have cooler timelapses.

Beautiful choice of music Lewis, congrats on 15K! Can’t wait for you to reach 20K!

[@sejozwak]

Lewis my darling, my pookie bear. I've adored you since the moment I first saw you. The way you strategize and conquer in Hoi4, instilling fear in your opponents. Your deft maneuvers on the battlefield, and that flawless execution of your plans. I'd do anything for you. I wish time could stand still so I'd never have to witness your retirement. Your journey hasn't been easy, but you never lost hope. You're not just amazing in the game, but also as a partner and parent - sometimes I even call you dad. The thought of your eventual retirement fills me with dread and sorrow. I'd sacrifice anything to see you smile. You've brought me immense joy and heartache over the years. When you left Hoi4, it felt like my heart shattered. But a tear still welled in my eye when you achieved your first victory because deep down, my glorious leader deserved it. Then, thankfully, you returned, and I rejoiced. 2015 was tough for us, but in 2016, you made history. You turned the tide from 3-1, and I couldn't believe it. I was in tears, overwhelmed, and I heard my glorious leader exclaim those words, "THIS IS FOR YOU, HOI4!" You've not only revolutionized the game but also forever changed my world. And now, as time passes, you're still the GOAT, my GOAT. I love you, pookie bear, my glorious leader, Lewis. 🥰❤🫶🏽

It’s actually horrifying that after all that conflict between humans it’s not one but two alien threats which decimates all the factions

[@ahhlewis]

i am more surprised, the biggest threats to humans is usually humans

[@ShiningLight]

damn Unbidden. Italy managed to kick them off twice before being defeated and losing the Galactic Custiodianship at the very end 😢

[@captainjack2700]

Some still say the Unbidden and the Vehement are fighting for the galaxy…

[@ahhlewis]

while the rest of the human powers get bounced around not being able to recover

[@AbstractTraitorHero]

Did the galaxy win out against the unbidden? Was Earth destroyed by them? Any other details you can give? It felt like a genuine heroic struggle at the end there.

[@ahhlewis]

It was a stalemate, earth in this galaxy doesnt exist since instead of there being a "earth", the main planets are just national capitals. at the end, i mean europe only won due to the fact everyone else was dead

[@AbstractTraitorHero]

@@ahhlewis Huh, I thought you'd have just made earth the most successful nation.

[@ahhlewis]

@@AbstractTraitorHero i was tempted to but the video is about empires going through each game and it would have been strange not to include them

[@AbstractTraitorHero]

@@ahhlewis No I meant make the capital of the most successful nation earth but still have the least successful ones leave.

[@Jay2480]

Did you use anything to make stuff happen in Vic3? It was the most interesting run if it I've seen for a while

[@ahhlewis]

I had set the war aggression to high because when i did it on normal, nothing happened

[@___________________________._]

Wow awesome video. I always wonder with these. Do you/ people who record those ai mega campaigns leave the game running at speed five for a day straight or do you have a way to speed up this process? Because I have a campaign with some interesting custom nations, and I'd like to see what they are gonna do, but I don't want to leave the game running for hours on end.

[@ahhlewis]

Im afraid this mega campaign took around 4 days to record with all the different games and attempts. This mainly due to setbacks I had with the converter as this was my first time but sadly there is no way to speed up all the games while in the game itself unless you are in HOI4 and Stellaris where you can do stuff to make it mildly faster. Once I recorded all the footage, i slapped them all together and speed them up.

[@___________________________._]

@@ahhlewis Ah alright, damn. Thanks nonetheless for the response. Guess I will have to leave the game running from time to time.
