Ok now the opposite make china as the romans.

It’s over 10K where is the video lol

[@youngjung161]

Where is the continuation?

[@AverageFitnessEnjoyer]

I like how I haven’t managed to revive the Roman Empire, yet Alzabo out here doing this

[@Jamie-kk5fq]

Its very easy as the Byzantines, its just a lot if conquering random counties here and there

[@Fatboy2526]

I barely did it as the HRE and yet he’s doing it as the one Provence Chinese vassal…

[@plebisMaximus]

I managed it starting as Hæsteinn. This family can do anything, I swear.

[@derekskelton4187]

Just be the Byzantines. It's really easy

[@PhoenixFires]

Idk about you but its mostly the roleplaying and seeking nice borders which does me in. If you play opportunistically and without much regard for your characters or realism its quite easy to just absolutely annihilate the world.

[@kindadumb916]

Damn the Chinese respected Rome so much they actually missed them and reunited it themselves. “Fine I’ll do it myself”

[@MaylocBrittinorum]

"The empire, long divided, must unite. And that goes for Da Qin as well!"

[@rickbergolla4055]

Would make for an interesting history book, tho definitely unrealistic and really really would inflate Chinese Ego's If some random Chinese adventurer started a dynasty that would recreate the Roman Empire

[@refuze2quit603]

I’m not joking, I am a Chinese. In Chinese internet many proclaimed to be spiritually belonging to a nation of a group of people. So there are groups of “Spiritually Romans” “Spiritually Soviets” “Spiritually Germans” and more. Although it is obviously a joke, it has become an online phenomenon.

Side note: Yeah the Roman Empire and Han Dynasty knew about each-other.

[@magithegreat]

@@TheBeakersDream Didn't the Chinese reply to a British message in Latin as they had only traded with the Romans in Europe prior or at least the only European trade partner that had directly sent messages to the Emperor

[@TheBeakersDream]

@@magithegreat I have no knowledge on that, but the Romans and the Han made regular use of the Silk Road trading system.

[@MaylocBrittinorum]

@@magithegreat They did, but it was because Portuguese Jesuits had been working in the court of some Ming emperors and they taught Latin to Christian converts (idk about the Qing, but the Jesuits did continue their activities during that period from the enclave of Macau).

[@AlzaboHD]

Royal court is finally here (and so is an upload - about time!). I've recently moved apartments AND have a new channel redesign so things have been busy! More content to come very soon, let me know what videos you guys would like to see in the comments below

I recommended it in the last vid and I'll recommend again; African Pagan start going on to eventually conquer the uk and creating the African United Kingdom with African and Celtic cultures being merged to top it off. P.S great vid as always happy to see more ck3 recently

I really liked that reviving Zunism save. It’d be really cool if you did a similar video of converting all of Europe to something like Asatru or Slavic. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

[@laserlights9684]

[@Bruh-br7vj]

Looks like Rome really did become Great Qin

[@KraNisOG]

The Chinese who visited Constantinople in the... I think the 700's? Were massively impressed by Rome and the Queen of Cities. And to be fair, Rome had a lot of shit most people saw as magical. Mechanical birds, lions, a moving Thron, et cetera.

[@conker690]

I like how this already kind of absurd challenge immediately goes off the rails with STD’s, castration and screen capture fails.

How did you manage to make the pope your pet ? That was so funny to watch well done.

[@azraeldusk2154]

He got a cat as pet and named it after the pope, the rest was roleplay.

[@MoaRider]

When I saw the title I thought the campaign was going to be based on the movie "Dragon Blade" with a custom Roman enclave conquering westward so they may return home and once again see the Light of Rome. But this is good too. "Brutus... Geld him!"

Don't worry, he even pronounced the Latin wrong.

[@Probably_Gonna_Die]

He does that on purpose.

Pronouncing the names in modern Mandarin is about as accurate as using the English names and English pronunciations for the Romans. We need a classical Chinese speaker + classical Latin speaker.

And the map of East Asia did not do, I hope a late DLC remedy, although the game official said that do not understand the system of East Asia, but the Roman provincial system did not do it. The clothes and clothes of most Han people are basically different.

I just discovered this video and had to subscribe because the overall writing is great and the jokes made me laugh. I too love alliteration, and I had to pause on Cena Mao because I couldn’t believe what my eyes were telling my brain. Every time you were talking about something innocent-sounding and showed a close up of “Castrated”, I couldn’t stop laughing. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🏆
