Forming the ROMAN EMPIRE in ONE LIFETIME in CK3...

[@Koifish]

*ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY*

[@Sacressane]

I love the swedish haiestinn fan

[@AntoniThePiano]

you fucking lunatic, you play heastin so so so much that the wikipedia about the actual historical him mentions you. now that's some dedication ,,Jarl Hastein appears in the popular "Crusader Kings" video game series, first appearing in Crusader Kings II The Old Gods DLC "Viking Age" era and again in Crusader Kings III as a highlighted character to play during "The Great Adventurers" start. In the game, he is portrayed as Hæsteinn Hæsteinning. He is popular within the Crusader Kings III community, mainly due to the many videos by the KZbin channel Koifish where he plays as Hastein."

[@Boretheory]

Conquered all of India as him extremely cool.

[@KnockoutsKoKings]

you have to do it now koifish, u cant let somebody else use heastinn to make the roman empire, u can do it with true roman religion too instead of the false gods wtf is orthodox anyway 😒

[@AnimeAddictedNerd]

MYYYYY LOOOORRDDDDD! IITSSSSSSS YYYOOOOUUUUUU! PLEASE! BLESS MY CHILDREN!

[@addmolitionexe9573]

It's actually a good thing you never converted to Orthodox before. Being Asatru allowed you to use the conquest CB and ignore borders.

It's one if the easiest religions fir reviving hellenim

Novgorod: "Well, we've been called to war." "Where?" "I... I'm not sure. It'll be fine. Lets go!"

[@filipexavier8771]

A Byzantine Emperor with retinues of Varangian guards in his army is awesome.

[@tapewormsally4030]

It still bewilders me as to how and why you don't have more subscribers, everything about your videos is phenomenal! ❤

[@the_niss]

Imagine the byz emperor's reaction when "rome" asked to become their vassal

[@aruik8332]

I'm shocked there's no Koifish in the comments yet and it's been 17 minutes already

[@thoraxe9626]

There is actually

No! The Haesteinn curse is spreading! Please Laith no!

I just checked the wiki of Hæsteinn and koifish was mentioned there😂

That has absolutely no place to be in Wikipedia I'm going to change it

[@princeofdaemons7344]

I formed it on my very first game, literally the second I loaded up I went. "I have to reform Rome." Starting as Matilda of Tuscany cause she's one of my favourite characters, I became Emperor of Italia around 3 generations later and inherited Byzantium. After that it was a bunch of just Steam rolling. My favourite run ever.

[@KnockoutsKoKings]

its one of those things you just have to do i am taking roman borders again but as elves with the elven destiny mod lol

[@mrwyatt6006]

My favorite run ever was also forming rome with matilda’s family. I ended up with like 70 learning on matilda

[@supersandwich8967]

One of my favorites was playing as Ireland and making the Celtic Empire

[@lapisdragon1237]

It may take my Life time to convince you to play a Fire Emblem Game. But I'm stopping after 198 days. I mean not stopping fuckin typos...

[@arno_grnfld455]

18:20 we need a fire edit for Haesteinn, but fr he have 40+ martial, i once obliterated an army about twice the size of mine with him

[@jaredprather8060]

The actual Crusaders didn't understand supply very well either, so AI Crusaders not understanding it is just realism

[@odin_way]

Hes turning Swedish

[@aroma13]

The stress if giving vassals doesn't happen if you grant dejure lands, like if I grant a county to someone, I will get stressed, if I make that person a duke without giving him all the dejure counties, it's also stress, but if I grant him the duchy and the dejure counties, then there is no stress

[@AMpersand_videos]

>Invade Rome >Ask to become a vassal to the Byzantine Empire >Take his throne >Conquer like 51 counties >Convert to the religion you conquered 40 years ago >Form Roman Empire >Die Another day in the life of Chædstein

[@Benwut]

Please continue that Achaemenid run! Was so fun and I want to see you defeat the Persians!

[@DarkPortall]

i once made a custom character with max stats and made the entire roman empire in one life, with de jure over byzantine, arabian, Maghreb, iberian, frankian, and holy roman empire de jures. it's really fun to just play as a god.

[@keyos4398]

You can also start in 866 as byzantium and then with cheats create empire titles and then create the roman empire. Now you have all of them as dejure and you have cb on them for a fun game

[@maartenbusker3023]

Absolutely amazing playthrough. Haesting never disappoints!! Is there a way for you to include all the ongoing war (percentages)? Your face camera is usually on top of these (apart from the out of focus part)

[@johnconnor8206]

Day 1 of asking you to play Victoria 2 semi regulary.

[@mr.crowgamer6250]

Did this as some custom character in Cagliari of Roman culture as hard but worth it

[@relenltlessgoat7603]

Mother of us all, and play until end date the hardest. I've done rome by starting as Sardinia

[@AntoniThePiano]

*Laith* divide et imperas vassals land and split it between many counts also laith: surprised how did his vassals get replaced after he put them there

[@BepeTheToad]

I'm surprised laith hasn't reached a million already, he's like one of the best creators in the genre 😭

[@hejd1777]

If you can, try to swear fealty for low obligations and then modify the vassal contract to religous protection and to either medium levies or taxes or smth. it does the same thing for cheaper.

[@troykanotz626]

The moment I heard haeisteinn I said “oh god dammit!” 😂

[@MarkHeathcliff-bf2im]

Now all we need is for this campaign to continue and fully replicate the borders of the Roman Empire.

[@HarrytheUnlucky]

Check for low, and then just modify for normal with religious. Even if you were not planning to be a vassal for long.

[@dmagz0121]

I can’t take his throne. It says “do not control 51 counties”

[@DondarfSnowbonk]

Laith making Belisarius look like an idiot.

Would it be possible to make the face cam a bit smaller so that the day/month/year visible is?

That was a quite anxiety inducing video tbh

Go to 0:00 and spam skipping back, this made me laugh so hard 😂

When you realtize he is forming: Swedish-norse-rom. Gotta be one of the most cursed Roman Empires ever. After Arragonese-communist-rom

[@snp4619]

CHECK WHEN I WAS SUBSCRIBED I WAS HERE SINCE 2017

[@peterq3271]

Not only reforming Rome in one life... But doing it with a character who starts the game ~60 years old

[@tommerker8063]

haestein has a bunch of health modifiers on top of starting with whole of body. he can easily live to 90 if no one murders him

[@carltonleboss]

Surprised that the Byzantine nobility generally seemed to accept a pagan Viking ruling over them.

[@alexbattaglia8297]

i mean, there were a bunch of revolts

[@relenltlessgoat7603]

I thought it was an addiction, i guess its a bacteria

[@azrulashraf00]

Haestings is really that guy😂

[@Reece_Hart]

Time for a Koifish's great, great, great, great something or rather grand daddy playthrough

[@Gamereal6286]

Nice, its time we saw some of Koifishs most favorite person on this channel. Haesteinn! That was also very quick, impressive. Enjoyed it alot. 😄 You know the drill, here are some out of context quotes: "Why are you fat?" "Did she die? I just married her!" "Can I divorce her because she doesnt help with my taxes?" "I love destroying Romagna! My favorite thing!" Poor Italians 😓

[@IronWolf123]

Do you think if a character gets a stress level they react to reaching it like they have a migraine?

[@theSwordoftheAfternoon]

You should do starting as a count in Asia or Africa and eventually unite all of Europe

[@Haelidhh]

I was playing Haesteinn yesterday and he died in 867 :/

[@pimmpslap]

Really not meant to be one of the hardest, especially when you start as Byzantines and very easy with Haesteinn. Event troops and Norse men-at-arms make it super easy.

[@robertandersson3417]

Dude... You revocate titles then release them on the terms "RENOUNCE CLAIMS". Then they can't rise against you again.

[@tommerker8063]

why would you let them go? they are walking bags of piety

Also Haesteinn absolutely can become the roman emperor with asatru, idk why it doesn't work, but i did hybridised norse with greek

[@mrclean29]

I think it either counts that you are some type of Christian, and/or you’re Latin or Byzantine heritage. Was your Norse-Greek culture of Byzantine heritage?
