Forcing the POPE to become an EMPEROR in CK3.

[@darthvader2506]

As a loyal, Italian, Catholic, who is subscribed to Laith and who liked the video to 70, I agree with this whole heartedly.

[@abcdfegyt]

You mean Chatolic? (17:49)

[@emib6599]

I was a loyal italian catholic, but now I feel the need to reform the faith in a new branch, the "chatolicism"

It'll be wild if he can actually get the pope to mend the Great Schism. Truly the height of roleplay.

[@RichardGadsden]

Since you asked: Santiago is Spanish for "Saint James" - one of the twelve apostles. He is traditionally buried in Santiago de Compostela

[@b.ug.p.7681]

[@branchy1186]

isnt the pope the only one who could ever realistically hold such a title tho? i dont think you can play a theocracy

[@Jetstreamsamsbiggestglazer]

​@branchy1186 when you reform Christianity it can form I think

[@royalkiwi7300]

If the pope takes the empire of italia decision when owning Italy and Illyria, can he then form the Roman Empire because if so that would be interesting to see

[@oppionatedindividual8256]

Obviously

[@MunchKING]

To make the Roman Empire as Italy, didn't you need to do the Unify Italy decision? Can the Pope do that one?

[@Zelein]

French nobility: "YOU ARE NOT FRENCH!" Laith: "Uhh, but... I am? Oui oui, baguette, hon hon hon." French nobility: "Oh, he is french. Apologies monsieur."

Great video! Normally to deal with revolts I give counts in the rebelion as vassals to a duke that supports me, or I create a duchy to do that. If they are not your direct vassals, they wont rebel against you.

[@thechronicler1453]

This was one of your best series ever! Absolutely marvellous

[@kabobawsome]

Taking the Burgundian and Austria/Bavarian areas, then trying to get the Pope to mend the schism would be an amazing finale for this.

[@Mowraq]

Or take it even another step further and take byzantium, iberia and stuff in northern africa and have the pope create the true HOLY Roman Empire

[@tigrecito48]

1:02:38 SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA - You can do a famous trek from the Pyrenees to this city. According to a medieval legend, the remains of the apostle James, son of Zebedee were brought to Galicia for burial, where they were lost. Eight hundred years later the light of a bright star guided a shepherd, Pelagius the Hermit, who was watching his flock at night to the burial site in Santiago de Compostela.[6] This site was originally called Mount Libredon [gl] and its physical topography leads prevalent seaborne winds to clear the cloud deck immediately overhead.[7] The shepherd quickly reported his discovery to the bishop of Iria, Theodemir.[6] The bishop declared that the remains were those of the apostle James and immediately notified King Alfonso II in Oviedo.[6] To honour St. James, the cathedral was built on the spot where his remains were said to have been found. The legend, which included numerous miraculous events, enabled the Catholic faithful to bolster support for their stronghold in northern Spain during the Christian crusades against the Moors, but also led to the growth and development of the city.[6]

[@griffinhunter3206]

Honestly, the pope has become a true holy roman empire in this video

[@DerpaholicGaming]

at 17:00 what does the number at the bottom right of all of your artifacts represent? It starts at 6 then they all drop to 5 when you change a piece, then 4 for same reason, then 3 before you close out your inventory. Edit: Apparently that number represents how many new artifacts you have that you haven't looked at.

[@NolanDraconis]

Laith in like the military tab so all the levies men and arms there at the bottom you see the rally point flag and next to it being a + sign, click it and you get another rally point with a different color

[@wolfyd2053]

I realise this comment is way to late but you don’t need to personally own it to mend the great schism just have it be part of your realm

[@toxicwaste159]

Had this idea myself, but never got around to actually doin it Pretty cool to see it in action

[@kgapaneseschoolgirlb]

Idea for a custom Character game (maybe multiplayer) Laith plays a character whose religion is Chatolic and the head of state of said religion is Yuri!

Watching the stream and Laith forming the Imperial Church of Italia by defeating the HRE was pretty great. Not gonna lie, that was a cool idea. 😄

[@minmean3016]

48:30 the men at arms counter reduce target MAA's damage(not toughtness, not pursuit, not screening). 1000 bowmen provides 1000 skirmisher Counter Power(CP), 1000 longbowmen provides 1000 skirmisher CP, 1000 HeavyCav CP 1000 crossbowmen provides 1000 HeavyInf CP, 1000 HeavyCav CP, 500 ArcherCav CP when counter power equals enemy combatant number e.g 1000 bowmen vs 1000 light footmen, target MAA damage is reduced by 45%(10-->5.5) when CP doubles enemy MAA e.g 1000 pikemen vs 500 armored horsemen, target MAA damage is reduced by 90%(100-->10), this caps at 90%. Laith army consist of 700 Pikemen, 700 bowmen, 600 Armored Footmen, 700 crossbowmen, 350 armored horsemen as combatant. He is also Italian, having formation fighting expert he gain extra 15% counter efficiency. He has 805 Lightcav CP, 1610Heavycav CP, 805 camelcav CP, 805 elephant CP, 805 skirmisher CP, 690 spearmen CP, 805 heavyInf CP, 402.5 archerCav cp, 402.5 archer CP. Of all above, enemy didn't have cavalry for the first fight, skirmisher for either fight, making his pikemen and bowmen inefficient. In the first fight enemy Norse army has around 4k MMA, let's assume it's 1k for each regiment they've brought 1k Varangian Veteran, 1k Huscarls, 1k bowmen, 1k Bondi Norse has 2k spear CP, 2k archer CP, 1K heavycav CP, 1k skirm CP, 1k lightcav CP. With above assumption, Laith's pikemen, bowmen, crossbowmen, armored horsemen are ALL fully countered, reducing their dmg output by 90%, only armored footmen is doing 100% dmg. Norse 2k heavy inf face 0.8k CP, reducing dmg by about 18%, 1k bowmen face 402.5 cp, reducing dmg by about 18%, 1k bondi facing 690 CP, reducing dmg by about 31%. What truly won the first fight was his commander being 28 adv against 12 adv of enemy, the Norse lord really fumbled the ball by ordering f2 all charge.

[@minmean3016]

48:57 Laith's ally joined his fight very quickly, while enemy's reinforment only showed up after the first fight's defeat, while also being split into 3 groups feeding into fire. Thus despite being inferior in quality, Laith made an extremly good call to attack that first Norse army, which consists of 4k strong MMA with very good counters, absorbed the damage with levy. Then his ally brings in more levies to tank, finishing up trash HRE troop no problem.

So the Pope has formed a holy Roman Empire not to be confused with the Holy Roman Empire that isn't holy Roman or an empire.

[@kgapaneseschoolgirlb]

25:33 This is very conflicting. Last video you talked about how city states had 20,000/200,000 troops or something. Like huge armies way bigger than what we see in game. Now you’re saying 600 is more reasonable??

[@panose6542]

for anyone curious, Santiago is a holy site because the legend says that saint James' body was lost at sea or something and washed up in the city. There is still to this day a Cathedral there that is supposed to contain Saint James' relics, it became a famous pilgrimage site in the west, interesting enough Santiago is a Galician evolution of "Sanctus Iacobos" (Saint James in vulgar latin).

probably be a caliphate frankly the empire title here is just an alternate name of Italia, like for example if an english cultured king makes the kingdom title of zaphorisdia (or however you spell the kingdom crimea is apart of in ck3) it will be called 'new england'. one of the various, interesting things that can happen. (another one is if a muslim nation gets the holy roman empire as their titles. it will be called the 'Halal Roman Empire'. (if other stuff that cause the default title name occurs vs dynastic names.) ck3 has quite a few alt names for kingdoms all over the place, always funny to see em
