Beaten By A Kid (Crusader Kings 3)

[@Baleur]

"Where africa should be, is just a huge landmass" Yeah, thats africa... LOL what are they talking about

[@lakersouthpaw]

I know right? Maybe they are used to certain map projections where Europe looks a lot bigger.

[@MsArchitectschannel]

they are complaining about the east of africa where it connects to the middle east, which nowadays it technically doesn't because theres a giant ass canal but lots of people don't know it does for quite a distance :p as far as i am aware that gap has actually gotten decently larger in the last 1000 years :p

[@hearthealer]

I think they're more used to Africa looking more North-South than so East-West in terms of size. The Africa on the game's map looks vertically squished. (But yeah, Africa IS connected to the Middle East via the Sinai Peninsula, with the exception of the Suez)

[@MsArchitectschannel]

@@hearthealer i guess but smithy has played total war where its just a strip? :p compared to the map i have in my room hung on the wall (6ft fabric map) africa is less "flat topped" and the connection to the middles east isn't quite as big as in CK3 :p

[@alfernee]

Maybe they though the terra incognita was water

[@acz0]

Man Ross spent the entire game trying to seduce everyone and finally realized he had a chaste debuff to doing so

[@ModrunOfficial]

how does that even work?

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

MoDRun chaste lowers fertility. Making any fucking based stuff harder to do

[@alfredhadesworth9253]

The idea of a celibate man trying to seduce women is pretty funny tho

[@Force2reckonVods]

I'm not sure he even realized he had the debuff I think he just realized he was Chaste and that made him stressed xD

[@elastichedgehog6339]

@Tuzcuoğlu Chaste does affect your seduction chance though. In the same way being gay does, you can still have kids but the plot power is lowered.

[@HappyLarry.]

Trott had his son killed, his nephew injured, he was captured, then deposed; meanwhile, Smith was devastated his investment didn't pan out

[@Dom380]

I hope they continue with this series, Crusader Kings is the perfect vehicle for the insane stories they come up with

[@Amberbrog]

Like everyone's saying, there's so much potential here for your shtick if you get to grips with the basics of this game. More please!

[@H2LaPyr]

This is brilliant but where is Craig to explain the name of every corner of the map ???

[@laramayone]

Welcome to Ireland, the home of Irish racing

[@Urall5150]

There's a guy on reddit that successfully ATE THE POPE. I'm still laughing at how much of an absolute legend that guy was. A viking went crazy, captured Rome, reformed the Norse pantheon, and decided the best way to execute the head of the Catholic church would be to devour him. I flipping love this damn game.

[@canihavesomepc]

Would absolutely love to see you guys get halfway decent at this game. There are some amazing opportunities for funny interactions with the 3 of you in the same world. Please consider doing a game with Sips to help guide you-- he could help you all with questions and tell you what you need to work towards at the beginning of the game. Something kind of funny would be to watch Sips start as King of West Francia and the 3 of you as Dukes under him.. would be hilarious to watch you guys follow orders or bicker to become the new King of France..

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

Yeah sips isn’t gonna do that though is he. And I agree with him playing this with other people would be a massive ballache

[@canihavesomepc]

@@Emperorhirohito19272 I dunno man, Sips can do what he wants? Besides why get so caught up on it having to be Sips. Was just someone from the yogscast who they play games with who might be able to teach them a bit. Otherwise as Ross said I'm sure they could watch other channels to get to grips. This game isn't always a ballache with others either, depends on your rules. Smith already enjoys stellaris with friends and you're literally watching a video where they play together. Chill out no big deal

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

EmeraldAgnostic I’m not saying he can’t? He’s literally said multiple times on stream he doesn’t want to play this multiplayer...

[@canihavesomepc]

@@Emperorhirohito19272 ok cool good chat very constructive of u

[@canihavesomepc]

@ yeah 100% that's a great idea

[@internetonsetadd]

Does Trott really not know that Africa is connected to Asia?

[@aethernaut1899]

I think we've all learned from watching Trivial Pursuit that Trott doesn't know very much.

[@MB1397817]

More lads. We need some more weird marriages and divisive plots.

[@rupeeb]

Trott saying that Africa is disconnected from the rest... Oh boys

[@Jaiykk]

Yep, and they made it sound like Africa shouldn't be that big. When in reality it's huge and way bigger than it appears on maps usually.

[@themoland5981]

I think he means that Africa doesn't connect to Spain, which it kinda looks like it does on that map

[@sirBrouwer]

@@themoland5981 if you look very zoomed in on that part you do see that the street of Gibraltar is there. just a very tiny gap of two black lines that just not touch. that would be correct the street is pretty narrow. you can see Morocco From the tip of (main land) Spain.

[@themoland5981]

@@sirBrouwer yeah, was just saying, i think that was what Trott was talking about, rather than the Middle East

[@yutuber2222]

Would love to see a series on this where you guys are more comfortable in the game!

[@Bazognar]

I love how petty Alan is against the AI

[@DomPhillips909]

theres a bunch of super useful and super short tutorial vids on Paradox's youtube covering all the basic mechanics in the game - if anyone is looking to get into the game checking them out is a must

[@bluedolphin4295]

I didn't expect to like this series as much as I did but seeing the three of you just only having the rough idea of how to play this game is so freaking funny. Long live Spider King!

[@DLaurie]

I'd love to see more of this. I was watching Ross' stream today, he could really do with spending a bit of time playing it on his own (if you have the time?). There is SO MUCH info thrown around in this game and he was clearly just completely overwhelmed by it. Watch someone do a play-through whilst you play the same nation, just get a basic understanding of how to control your armies in war and the more important menus that manage councilors and vassals. You don't need to be a professional, just get a basic understanding so your game doesn't unofficially end within the first 10 years. Maybe you'll disagree with me but there's huge potential for the 3 of you playing this together, it's really funny. I only have 37 hours in the game and I never played the prequels. I replayed Munster (the tutorial Petty King) 3 times before I got control of Ireland for the first time and felt like I had an understanding of the basics. There's a lot of learning to do....

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

I managed to take Ireland the first time... but keeping it? Man the whole thing just exploded into literally the same as game start. Very disheartening but I’m glad I’ve stuck with it game is really good once you have the basic idea and can keep a game going

[@AndICanTalk2]

Hadn't realized how much I'd enjoy you all playing this. Really interesting to watch. I might get the game in fact.

[@alexwiltse4720]

These videos were great because it was obvious you were enjoying the silly aspects of the game. I’d love to see more

[@ceri678]

Yes I would love more vod-content of this! I usually work during streamtimes, but I like seeing you guys mess around with this.

[@NOLNV1]

I want more of this for sure

[@CriticoolHit]

I enjoyed this content more than other content but not less than certain content that may have came before or after this content. Thank you for this content.

[@astridalva1424]

Please do more of this! All Paradox grand strategies have a learning curve but once you get the hang of it this would be even MORE fun to watch than this already was on it's own! Please do more of this absolutely loved it!

[@liamfitzsimons2806]

oh my gosh please make more of these, I want more of this so badly

[@peterromero285]

I'd love to see more of this game! I think with a bit more knowledge and powerful kingdoms there could be a lot of good shenanigans to be had

[@matthewwarren4289]

Really enjoying this series!

[@camicus-3249]

Love these videos. Just try not to give up, Paradox grand strategy games are notoriously difficult to even become competent, but when you get past that wall they are just so much fun. They may be complex, but that same complexity gives you so much freedom to do whatever you want. Also, try not to get caught up in the short term losses, it's only over once your dynasty is off the map.

[@Masakage199]

More CKIII please. Just the banter between the three of you is killer.

[@loln00bsify]

Usually not really into these kind of territorial map type games but either the game itself or you guys playing it makes watching enjoyable so would definitely love to see some more of this

[@michaelvincentpratt]

Would love to see more lads

[@aethernaut1899]

I can't get enough of imagining the story of Count Ross of Nowhere, a lecherous, murderous, covetous villain who has no money, no power, no land and spends his days scheming ineffectually against his neighbours. xD

[@ExtraGamr]

Smith losing a war to a four year old while trott marries his 2 year old is a bizarre series of events

[@Deltaguy447]

Loving this CK 3 fun bois! Keep up the wonderful work lads

[@mattkeeble9656]

Would love some more of this! 😁

[@Alex-ns6wr]

Wont lie to you lads, not a bloody clue whats going on in this game, but I love your enthusiasm which makes it good to watch.

[@adamneitzke]

I hope you guys continue this game, seems like there is a lot of potential for quality interactions with you guys together :D

[@izzamazingnessthe2nd]

I would love to see more of this! Please make more 😊

[@covenmore]

i hope this becomes a series 😂

[@TrulleX]

Loved it, me and my friends like to play in the same kingdom. Then we can help each other or backstab each other. Hope you play again

this is a big yes from me also consider among us?

[@incredimazing]

Loving these CK3 vids. Suits the lads sense of humour. Hope to see a lot more!

[@AlmostUselessPenguin]

I like the perk in the intrigue lifestyle where you can fabricate a hook. It means you can just try and attempt to create a hook for a character out of nothing (and it might sometimes even be a strong hook). This means you can do a variety of things such as modify a vassal's contract to have higher taxes, force someone to vote for your favoured successor or give you gold if you have the perk to demand payment for hooks (from stewardship). It works best if you have good intrigue and especially if you aren't an independent ruler, you are someone else's spymaster. As a vassal you still have the autonomy to declare war on neighbouring rulers or even fellow vassals (vassals can have vassals, as long as they are a lower rank). Being on your liege's council means you get a couple of buffs related to your role. I found that it's easy to be on the council if you have a high skill level and are a powerful vassal (i.e. you are one of the strongest vassals so your liege will want you on the council to avoid an opinion penalty). If your liege takes you off the council then you can always get a hook on them since you can use it to modify your feudal contract to be guaranteed a spot on the council. Without a hook you can still do this but you need to change the contract to benefit your liege in a different way (meaning you'd have to give away more taxes or levies). Never really played CK2 but I played CK3 as soon as it was released and have been having fun with it. I've only have 20 hours so I'm by no means an expert but this is just my experience. Can be very easy to play singleplayer and suddenly realise 6 hours have gone by, like I did on the first day.

[@garyteano3026]

Would love to see the boys working together to create a mega-country!

[@AnotherYoutuberEskandar]

Definitely more please! It's a fantastic game that does just get better the better you get at it

[@null_focus5512]

I'm pretty sure the map looks weird because it's meant to mimic hand drawn maps by early cartographers. IE: "Well when I was walking around on the ground it *felt* like it was shaped like this" *draws africa in the wrong place* "Yeah, seems right to me. Besides, who is gonna be able to check, right?" "Yeah what are they gonna do, send brains up into the sky on explosive towers so they can look down and out us for not knowing what we're doing? That would be ridiculous"

[@FPSNecromancerBob]

I can't wait for more of this

[@wilfredgrasse3542]

So... What did they think was wrong with the map at the end?

[@sanguillotine]

Idfk, I’m trying so hard to wrap my head around what trott was saying. Does trott know what Africa is???

Yes! More CK3 as the plebians demand it!

[@nameitifyoucan]

What Smith mentions is a big pet peeve of mine in CK2 - spending so much time waiting to be able to do move the intrigue/progression along. I never got to be great at the game to be fair

[@SEDresden]

Please more! Do a little off camera research, maybe have a fun tutorial episode with Spiffing Brit or someone else. Go into the game with a goal, like the old Minecraft videos. The game's pace really lends itself to your banter, I'd love to see more.
