Hey, can you attain the mandate of heaven in china as Yemen Socotra, I would love that! I Haven't been in this channel for a year so I'm exited that you have more videos

[@RATSKETCHES]

Make the eunuch symbol a Mars symbol burning in hell.

[@DavidePas]

Alzabo subscribers: How many rhymes should we expect in this video? AlzaboHD: YES

[@aclaymushroomwithaberet7084]

was so happy to see that lol

[@jonwalker9587]

I'm glad adoption is in the game now as an option for situations like this. It happened historically, (though usually it was more like uncles adopting nephews rather than commoners) and for a desperate infertile king or emperor with no family, doesn't it just make sense? I remember reading CK2 forum threads full of people vehemently against adding an adoption mechanic.

[@partydean17]

I think it's good it is not too easy to do because a lot of the game is properly siring offspring for stats. But random events is a great way of getting through it I'd say

[@theta_clips]

To be fair, the greatest prosperity the Romans experienced was under a nearly entirely adoptive line (Nerva-Antonine) save for Trajan and Hadrian being distant cousins, and Commodus being Marcus Aurelius' son - though we can see how that turned out. The phrase "Great men rarely raise great sons" rings true historically, which is why I guess adoption wasn't really frowned upon.

[@diegowushu]

What a madlad. I've been avoiding trying for the "Mother of us all" archivement because it seems like a chore, but the things this person puts himself thru is shaming me to do it.

[@AlbertAlbertB.]

That achievement took me 3 months.

[@TheForeignGamer]

Honestly, it wasn't that bad. Aside from the false start I had when Daurama randomly died very young, I was able to get the achievement on my first attempt. Granted, I did it pre-Royal Court so I'm not sure if it's any easier or harder now, but as long as you keep expanding and reasonably managing your realm, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. The biggest challenges you'll face are the Muslim nations in North Africa and Iberia, and potentially Byzantium if they start expanding onto the continent. But those are the countries you save for last, after you've already consolidated your power everywhere else and conquered your weaker neighbors. Once you have Africa itself secured, it then simply becomes a waiting game as you convert en masse. Mendicant Preachers is an OP tenet to have when you reform the religion, so I recommend that at the very least.

[@warlordofbritannia]

@@AlbertAlbertB. Wait, in-game or in real life? 😂

[@TheRyanRubi]

It may take a few restarts, but once you get going, it’s pretty straightforward.

A Greco-Bactrian revival sounds very fun to do... This video gave me a new idea for a new challenge in CK3

[@CanonOverseer]

Makes me want to make a mod including titles and decisions for it lol

[@reuben7705]

I may have to do this too, its one of my favourite areas of history

[@DonFlufflesPrime]

Ahhh, back for another video of Alzabo being the biggest masochist known to man by doing insane CK3 challenges. Never change, Alzabo, never change.

[@JohnDoe-zu2tz]

How does a heterosexual eunuch enjoy a brothel? Three little words, my friends. MEN GETTING PEGGED

[@sylviethetg7598]

You wanna get pegged don't you John

[@partydean17]

Lol also castration Can be synonymous with neutering, so he may just shoot blanks

[@MR-cx1mg]

Perfection as always. Here's a CK3 challenge for you: Make a hybrid culture of the two cultures with the greatest distance between them on the map.

[@isaganipagarajr3298]

I like this challenge hope he makes a video about it.

[@mulan-jinglesemusicas1513]

Celto-Tamil culture

[@adamlifevictor5772]

Hispano-Mongolian culture

[@CatchTheMarmosets]

Or the rarest with the second rarest (if its even possible, because the rarest isnt even in any of the start dates)

[@donpollo3154]

Well, I was gonna say that you needed real balls to play this campaign but I don't think that's an accurate summary

[@RATSKETCHES]

Eunuch=✂️🥜= No Maidens.

[@pcu9284]

Like the video, I liked the story of Alderic, and orphaned Frenchman taken in by the strongest man in india, tho the pause after "eunuchs like clapping cheeks" was something else

[@asgerthorndalkofod2366]

Been thinking of a challenge where you attempt to create slavia by taking the Unite the west slavs, unite the east slavs, and then unite the slavs decisions. Whilst doing this you also take the Defenders of Dievas, Defenders of Rod and Defenders of Ukko decisions to create a grand holy slavic pagan empire.

[@cryohellinc]

The amount of puns in this one.... Holy shit

[@henrimosser4608]

Impressive, really impressive. I didnt know much about the intrigue focus tree, but with your playthrough I learned alot about its benefits !

[@G3florentino]

I support the youtube algorithm by sayind this crusader kings video (CK3 for short) was great, cool and helpful to watch.

[@Uzair_Of_Babylon465]

Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job

[@molybdaen11]

I never knew that you can adopt children. Yes i got the "care for the child" event, but the parents were still alive.

[@richlondonrich]

Rhyming is like salt. Add too much and it's your fault.

[@partydean17]

Can someone explain what all those murders did at the beginning? Do they just destabilize so you can form a faction with more fellow vassals to join in?

[@uoliveira7]

ZEUSROASTRIANISM My God, i'm dying 🤣🤣🤣

[@Tjabcdefg]

You are talented in the way of words and rhyme

[@John-kd2tc]

This was a playthrough I had in mind ever since I found out I could get heirs like this.

[@deadaccount4221]

AlzaboHD has the Poet trait

[@battlepans1927]

[@jbb4105]

ngl i really tried to watch this but the rhyming was jus too OD

[@BlueViper8907]

Oh my god I've been waiting for this since the CK2 version!

[@darem4843]

Can't believe I completely watched the video

[@AlzaboHD]

Thank you for your service!

[@dogmiertwitchtv2325]

Brooo these rhymes were so good, keep up the good work!

[@jonathanskinner7647]

Man actually has 70 videos queued up but is just trying to come up with rhymes for them

[@ComradesChoice]

First time watching you and holy shit, do you rhyme every single freaking sentence?

[@AlzaboHD]

Please send help!

[@ComradesChoice]

@@AlzaboHD Nah man, you need to start writing poems or something.

[@Gh0st652]

I love your channel the alliteration makes me feel like I'm in a fever dream

[@aguythatyoudontknow3594]

I think we need either a reformed seleukelids or a reformed ptolemaic egypt if you are up for some more greek conquests

[@laszlobandi6456]

I know this is long ago. now in the new dlc, the hunts are more complex, although I can't even reach a lot of them in time. so I guess it's good to have many vassals near you then take a new land somewhere else. there is a new event where you find a wild boy (feral, +10 prowess which he loses later) also dull -2 to all and not sure if it's any variety but a medium prowess from the trait. you can then adopt him or just take into court or release. did a run with Haestein in Cagliari. Did the same before the update hit and had to abandon it because the changes ruined a few things. one change to Cagliari is that Iglesias is a new castle which holds the mine and at succession you always lose it, so better off moving the capital into the secondary castle (revoking is fine but reversely is better)

[@sweetrios]

Not enough camel jokes

[@BetweenSunAndMoon]

And he didn't even have to sell his soul to the devil. Well done.

[@robjohnson3095]

Was this harder than the CK2 Eunuch run?

[@AlzaboHD]

Most definitely - this requires RNG and in CK2 I (think?) its RNGless and just requires joining the satanic cult. Both are very fun though

[@TheStroudCompound]

I like all the low key game of thrones references "Fire&Blood"

[@aidanfelker3636]

god i love this channel so much

[@pedrotbird5426]

I can't put my finger on why, but these videos are amazing

[@tradracemixer3237]

I always love the rhymes you put in

[@TheCALibratedChaos]

I belive Romans have Adoption tenants that put the childnin your house. I dont remember the requirements to have it as a tenant but also super hard to accomplish in one life

[@opheliamoonrose4316]

Emir Mu'nis making a comeback once again!

[@RomedyComedy]

I love your videos so much

[@reallyFrogman]

This would be even easier now since you can adopt children with Wards & Wardens.

[@coper2098]

been forgetting to comment sorry 🙏 still nothing but the absolute best from alzabo i keep rewatching your videos (even more so now that i suck much less at eu 4)

Man, i want to watch these videos but the cadence and rhyming, I just so bad I can't get past it despite the fact that I am sure there is great content in the video.

[@Zehamas]

Damn that ryhming 10/10 would sub again.

[@gordyrroy]

I think you could adopt someone :y like, just clicking on a boy in the character search bar. The adoption feature is a thing, but I dont know since when.

[@thedoge4866]

Thanks, didn't even know adoption was a thing until I saw this 👍

[@BonafideJas]

This guy's a little wordsmith

[@essdoubleyou1799]

I'm finding it hard to listen to these videos lately because the amount of wordplay in the scripts has gradually gone upward until nearly 100% of sentences contain either a pun or alliteration. No offense to those who enjoy this - I just wanted to leave the feedback to maybe tone it down a little.

[@chandlerdoeswhatifs9399]

I know it’s late, but I just tried this challenge last night, was able to expand to control all of Jerusalem, and tried to form the kingdom, but realized you had to be Christian. So I wasn’t able to become a king, and then unable to adopt a child, then died of old age. Was a journey.
