Vicky2 messed up Rome, only for that, they would have been utterly dominating

[@GeneralPol]

Which was prob a good thing...

[@raghudurina2354]

I mean they still won beating the shit out of China with a probably 2bilion men manpower reserve

[@NewGuyGamesTraveler]

That's why you avoid researching nationalism and imperialism if you are a multicultural empire.

[@alexriches6957]

Gypsyland permanently fucking up the Roman empire was pretty iconic

[@emiriye]

What's more iconic was them getting the ownership of India.

[@GeneralPol]

Yeah, but then they worked together to take on China

[@bluejaytwofoureight]

@@GeneralPol the redemption arc and then rome got nothing out of the peace deal :P

[@GeneralPol]

@@bluejaytwofoureight they defo got screwed in the peace deal

[@anacolakovic4425]

I like to think in universe its the equivalent to the indian reservations in America

[@bluejaytwofoureight]

It was brilliantly cool to see how Carthage and Persia's fragmentation brought about new states.

[@GeneralPol]

It was indeed

[@thegreengamer6509]

That long narrow spearhead from China @ 24:39

[@rosielambert5142]

nice mega timelapse

[@GeneralPol]

Thanks!

[@preoximerianas]

Appreciate how you’re one of the few mega time lapse KZbin accounts that shows off culture, government, etc.

[@GeneralPol]

Thank you, I find it give context to what is going on in each of the games

[@pohiena2666]

Parthia turned into a show of lights during the Ck portion.

[@emperorteutonic7964]

I know this might be controversial but I think Imperator Rome might not be suited for Mega Campain. You get these big empires that basically never collapse and that destroy any culture in their way resulting in basically no diversity. It would be fine if it was only one big empire (See Romans OTL) but it is always several and after that the culture mapmode is just 3 colours.

[@GeneralPol]

Yeah it does, which is why for some of my mega campaigns I start in CK3. I try to mitigate this a little, by running Invictus and extended timeline

[@Rodzyniastyyyy]

IR is FAR more enjoyable when you take away AI's cheats (there is a mod for that in workshop). Main reason for these super empires is that AI gets a big buff to province loyality. Without it they have a reasonable chance to crumble like a fucking crouton.

[@GeneralPol]

@@Rodzyniastyyyy I might have to check those mods out!

[@wotanvonedelsburg1610]

@@GeneralPol for eu 4 I can recommend two mods for eu4. One is the rebel buff mod and the other is Disaster: Eclipse of Empires. But the latter has a few bugs. Namely that the disaster does not disappear when you successfully survive.

[@wires-sl7gs]

@@GeneralPol Would love to see you make a timelapse involving that mod

[@VladTheImpaler909]

That world war at the end was interesting

[@GeneralPol]

Its was one of the better ones i've seen

[@MikhailMengsk]

The Roman Comeback of the 50s was incredible.

[@superJohn358]

China had Rome on the ropes for a bit

[@GeneralPol]

😂

[@emiriye]

China tickled Rome's balls a bit before promptly getting kicked in the nuts.

[@Jay2480]

I kinda hoped they would win just to see Europe with better borders lol

[@GeneralPol]

@@Jay2480 There would have been no borders in that case! :)

[@Jay2480]

@@GeneralPol better nothing than that insanity haha

[@CraftsmanOfAwsomenes]

Everyone's talking about Gypsyland and China but I just wanna say Parthia was COOKING. M*cedonians got their shit kicked in, and the glorious heptadic Partho-Rajasthani culture reigned supreme. The succession crises caused them some issues and the Mongols deleted them but their culture and religion stood the test of time.

[@GeneralPol]

Parthia did really well, and like all great empires their impact lasted centuries

[@Jay2480]

Can we also mention the Horn African Empire formed by Egypt, that lasted for ages

[@CraftsmanOfAwsomenes]

@@Jay2480 Oh true, I didn't even notice because the way these things always go has me super biased against Macedonians.

[@Jay2480]

@@CraftsmanOfAwsomenes yeah, I'm glad parthia popped off, added a lot of variety

[@Jay2480]

endgame was crazy lol also the border gore .-.

[@GeneralPol]

it was. The AI just loves its border gore!

[@AbstractTraitorHero]

I would love to know what Gypsyland exactly was specifically on unaligned? It seemed like a really interesting thing to have happened.

[@harpon2816]

Rome and Gypsyland putting their differences aside to resist China 💪💪

[@GeneralPol]

😆

[@scottmcloud2430]

you do a great job giving the overviews.

[@GeneralPol]

Thank you

[@StalwartTirith]

I just wish CK3 empires weren't always so fragile. Out of countless timelapses I've watched, I could count on one hand the number of empires that _didn't_ fall into a million pieces at the last second.

[@MultiSHOOTNICK]

First time i see Christianity and Islam appear after imperator.

[@GeneralPol]

All thanks to the extended timelime mod for Imperator. It spawns Christianity & Islam

[@solinvictus6562]

Why did gypsyland have so many cores anyway? Can you show the culture map of VIC2 next timelapse, please?

[@GeneralPol]

Not sure why they got so many cores. Apologies on the culture map, actually thought I had included it

[@xavierblitz5647]

please show vic2 culture map mode

[@blackeagle1529]

China was so close to greatness

[@Ch-ew9tm]

Gypsyland was the reason they didn’t takeover the world.

[@bluejaytwofoureight]

I wanted them to win lol

[@sprejxen7659]

Nice comeback from rome

[@GeneralPol]

It was, I thought they where done for

[@AbstractTraitorHero]

@@GeneralPol They carried the torch of democracy alongside gypsyland suprisingly.

[@espadarte_ex]

Pretty cool! Why Vic2 and not Vic3?

[@GeneralPol]

Still waiting for the convertor team to finish the vic3 to Hoi4 convertor

[@judictus5178]

another legendary timelapse

[@GeneralPol]

Thank you! 😊

[@keithconlon4374]

This is a large reason why I would like Paradox Interactive combine all of these games of theirs including Imperator Rome, Victoria 3, Blood and Iron combined in addition to the games that you list here into a single officially interconnected game rather than remaining as a completely separate game.

[@inquisitor1984]

Really cool. How did you get Ash'ari in CK3?

[@limyangxuan]

Do you use mods for any of the games, if you do then which mods did you use?

[@GeneralPol]

Just for Imperator, Invictus & extended timeline. Not sure how u could integrate any others into the other games

[@raph1212]

Strongest empires throughout history: -304 - -264 Seleucid Persia -264 - -260 Parthian Persia -260 - 637 Ancient Egypt 637 - 1171 Parthian Persia 1171 - 1864 Roman Empire 1864 - 1916 Mesopotamia 1916 - 1938 Carthage 1938 - 1946 Fashist China 1946 - modern day Senatorial Rome

[@stanislavkino]

What song did you use for the imperator Rome part of the video?

[@GeneralPol]

It was just a section of music I have recorded from Imperator Rome

[@Pigraider268]

You should have made Roman Empire into HRE that would make it more fair and it would also make sense

[@GeneralPol]

I actually had contemplated doing this

[@Jay2480]

Would be cool if we had an alt timelapse where this happens

[@EmperorYankaArchiv]

Where do you came from? - Shunga-revolt-name's Vairisimhid's Australia

[@BlackBanditXX]

Big Vermont pleases me.

[@GeneralPol]

😀👍

[@user-nc9cg3eo9w]

21:31 Gypsyland

[@MajorDumai]

Why so long timeline overlaps between different games??? They should be zero-long instead of 500 years+.

[@tamiloxd7168]

I love and hate Imperator Rome, the AI never does a punic war so in the end, Rome goes towards Germania, and Carthage takes Iberia, and both of them never actually fights each other.

[@omarkarim7426]

28:55

[@Phoenix-wh2bn]

I was more focused on india this time around

[@macalmedia]

I surprise rome lasted that long.

[@GeneralPol]

Yeah they really refused to quit in this one

[@arno_groenewald]

Is it possible to get Christianity in Imperator Rome?

[@user-lr1nz4ye9x]

using Invictus & Extended timeline

Gypsyland ?
