Bringing back the WESTERN ROMAN EMPIRE

CK3 Western Rome or CK3 Rome or CK3 West Rome or CK3 Western Roman Empire... yeah there's a lot of ways to describe this nation. Why? Why can't we just call it West Rome? Anyway, today in CK3 Fallen Eagle, one of the best CK3 mods, we're playing as Belisarius, twice. The first time, we're going to be completely loyal and help with the Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire. The second time, we're following our own path.

Stop feeling bad for the history lessons, they not only make you stand out compared to other youtubers but they are genuinely great lectures especially since they aren't scripted

[@Podzhagitel]

ah yes other EU4 youtubers, consistently known for their dislike of history

[@gabrielramos1794]

Yes definitely, for me Laith's historic ramblings are the best part of the video

[@TheQwopChampion]

@@Podzhagitel I mean as much as I love Red Hawk, I don't think he's known for history lessons in his videos

[@oddiethefox5832]

@@TheQwopChampion He has a second channel he just launched where he talks about geopolitics, geography, and history. He is definitely a fan of history, he just doesn't bring it up much in his EU4 videos. He does drop some facts from time to time though.

[@TheQwopChampion]

@@oddiethefox5832 I'm not saying he's not a fan of history or that he doesn't know anything, I just mean red hawk more often than not just focuses on the game and talks about that, and doesn't go on tangents very often like laith does in these kind of videos. Which is fine, nothing wrong with either video style, I'm just saying that the guy I was replying to was missing the point of OPs comment

[@dokiiscute]

Laith could legit make history lesson videos and i'd watch all of them

[@DarthFhenix55]

He already did tho, so you're kinda lying.

[@barituned]

Same dude. Laith is op.

Thank you for featuring our mod as always! Though there is a lot of work we still want to do for 532, the current version of 532 has plenty of interesting stuff already including but not limited to Belisarius and Justinian, so it would be great to see those other featured 532 bookmarks explored too.

Any reason why the Carthage Cotton is tied to a cultural tradition? Maybe if it gave a discount it makes sense, but it seems kinda insane that because you don’t have maritime mercantilism it would be impossible to restore it even if it were to cost 10000 ducats Still love your mod to bits! Everything is So passionately crafted, it makes an incredible gaming experience!

[@cybrxkhansmods2848]

@@historyafficionado478 I didn't really work on that part of the map so dunno. I'll bring it up to the other devs and see if anything needs to be done. Thank you!

"Seek help man" I see that Carthage's salt still runs in your veins after millenia

[@sir_kyber]

Ah yes, another episode of Roman History with Laith.

[@henryglennon3864]

Channel Legal Update: Hello everyone. My client, Laith - TheSocialStreamers, has read and sympathizes with your many comments expressing medical concern at just how high his hairdo has gotten in the past months. Unfortunately, as of January, Laith's hair became the highest geological feature in Southern England. Because of this, my client entered into an agreement with the Royal Navy, where in exchange for paying off two of his student loan debts, they are building an ultra-low frequency radio mast on top of his noodle. If he were to get a haircut before the end of this fiscal year, he would void this contract, and the Royal Navy would loose contact with three of their submarines in the North Sea. On behalf of my client I wish to thank you all for reading this far, and remember to dip a piece of bread in a pint of beer for Laith.

[@dominicadrean2160]

It's sad Justinian was never able to have kids with his wife😢

[@martinvukovski4370]

Nah not really

[@jaydenburgher2651]

They probably wouldn't have established a dynasty. Cause like no one could forever, roman emperors were not rly fertile till specious komnenos

[@Chornobyl1989]

As an aspiring history nerd the best part of any laith video is the history rants, please keep them and never feel bad about it.

[@TaeSunWoo]

I’m so proud of you. You put western Rome instead of just Rome unlike most KZbinrs

[@nickmacneil3055]

The things like the history tidbits are what makes this channel, and personally I’d actually like more historical stuff integrated into the content, especially how you do it in a interesting and focused way

[@DarthFhenix55]

Man, Belisarius betraying Justinian while also cucking him with Theodora is for sure the most cursed timeline I've seen in a while.

[@redstar96gr57]

Ah yes,really going through Belisarius' history is giving me conniptions with how he was treated and kept coming back for more.

[@lema0925]

They should fix the Ambitious trait so it only gives stress when you give away titles while under your domain limit (no stress when granting titles when you are above the domain limit)

[@user-no4fq3dt7d]

Or make lesser debuffs for having over your domain limit , when you have ambitious trait

[@lema0925]

@@user-no4fq3dt7d yeah, that's also fair. But I think that we can all agree that the Ambitious trait needs a little rework. I wonder if there is a mod for it?

[@HowDareYouSpeakToMe]

I think it's a fair trade off for how good it is

[@cba2make1up]

Always a pleasure to see CK3 back on the channel, and the history lessons are just the icing on the cake

[@SereglothIV]

When I saw the title I thought it was a comeback from a certain multiplayer campaign in EU4... 😅 Also, love the history bits, don't feel bad about them. In fact, give us more of them!

[@joeternent8057]

There was no saving that haha

[@RubberToeYT]

Really appreciate the historical background, adds an extra layer to the video

[@frankangelino6058]

My life was made better by the existence of John the Armenian in CK3

[@Ragumeatsauce]

We were very happy to include him 😊

[@matthewwhittall1205]

I discovered your channel 30 minutes ago and uh... I love it. Your history rants are incredible and I love it.

[@AOA9871]

Laith, thanks for the great vid and sick history talk. It’s always so cool to see historical gaming KZbinrs who actually know about the world they’re playing in.

[@someguyma]

Syracuse being a back water means it's an opportunity for real estate investment

[@toxicsaint3545]

Thank you laith for teaching us history even though you editor bullies you 😂. Keep doing it, your history lesson are one of the thinks that makes you unique and an amazing KZbinr

[@Gamereal6286]

Thanks for the history lesson Laith. I wonder if Belisarius ever got wind of Khosrau tho. "Belisarius! Khosrau pillaged Antioch and said he will build better Antioch! That little-" But the most cursed thing would be if both loved each other and Theodora liked it 😨. Well, lets see who you play next I guess.

[@dingusdean1905]

11:10 There was actually a berber successor state to the western roman empire. The shield probably isn’t a reference to that but I think it’s kinda neat that the mod accidentally mirrored real history

[@keiranmarchessault3956]

The history part of this video sets it apart from all the other yooutubers and I love it. Would be great if you could make a history video using CK3

[@carltonleboss]

"Justinian's gay" Ah, the last true Roman indeed.

[@jefferyhanderson7849]

The Eastern Roman Empire will use the term 'Belisariusian Empire' to demean the Western Roman Empire's legitimacy to emphasize Belisarius betrayed Justinian when it was Justinian who drove Delisarius to revolt against his paranoid ways.

[@Trill-Is-Real]

Ironic because the HRE and other western powers called the Eastern Roman’s empire “empire of the Greeks” to demean them in reality.

[@saltantanarampa7137]

I really enjoy the extra history in these videos!

[@mogumanjulien4366]

Ngl, the history bits are actually what made me sit through this, as I very rarely can with pure pdx gameplay videos.

If possible I would love to know more about history of different kingdoms so if you do make a playlist of historical leaders and countries please go into detail.

[@musicjax]

I need you to nerd out even more.

[@xebastianrodriguez]

I don’t know if they got rid of it or if it’s a chance but the Ostrogoths are supposed to or sometimes offer you the Western Roman crown and you will immediately become theWestern Roman Empire if you accept but it’s very difficult since you get tons of revolts and an immediate war with the the Byzantines (and if you take too long in the Gothic Wars Justinian will recall you because of the Sassanians)

[@kaiserkitsune9393]

8:36 The Romans did actually start to respect Hannibal as a good leader after they had won the Punic wars, so Belisarius looking to him as a source of inspiration wouldn't be that weird.
