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

[@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_timelapses]

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_timelapses 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.

Great Mega Campaign, very nicely done!!

[@ahhlewis_timelapses]

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

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

[@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.

[@BavarianMapping]

well done. Love the effort you put in

[@ahhlewis_timelapses]

Much appreciated!

[@mtyetfull]

Yay Mega Campaign, you made it!! congrats on 15k!

[@ahhlewis_timelapses]

Yay, thank you!

[@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. 🥰❤🫶🏽

Really good video, love the editing and found everything really well made. Have you ever considered making other types of content?

[@ahhlewis_timelapses]

I do hope to make more edited normal videos but i have been busy with college

[@byronritchie5449]

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_timelapses]

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

[@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_timelapses]

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

[@Kapselus]

Damn Poland did really good

[@___________________________._]

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_timelapses]

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