I Created the BEST VIKING Hybrid Culture in All of Crusader Kings 3 Royal Court

The Crusader Kings 3 Royal Court added the new culture rework, allowing you to hybridize two cultures. I now know what needs to be done! The Crusader Kings CLASSIC that is... THE LEGACY OF THE INDO NORSE!
I, Koifish, will play as the Viking Norse, and conquer my way down to take over India, and form the grand culture and kingdom of the Indo Norse!
The latest DLC for Crusader Kings 3 has been released! Crusader Kings: Royal Court let's you commission great works of art from inspired craftspeople, Impress people with the grandeur of your court, or impress them with your noble house’s heirlooms and relics. It also changes the culture system, adding an enhanced Culture system that lets you guide your people to novel cultural understandings as they merge or splinter off, embrace their heritage, learn languages, or acquire new traditions!

*LONG LIVE THE INDO NORSE!* Hello Hello! Ever since I did the Legacy of the Indo Norse in CK3, I've been wanting to re-create VIKINGS in INDIA! And now I can ACTUALLY do it in game! Very cool! More videos next week! Including the Koifish CK3 guide to LEARNING!

@@Maevola ehhhh kinda but we English and French have a complicated history of dick measuring and king killing all the way back to the Viking era..... So we have a lot more practice in hating each other like America with Mexico or China with Japan..... Then again we Brits are really good at pissing people off. France, Spain, Ireland, Italy, China, India, America, Argentina..... It's been toned to a fine art for us. our accents are crafted to make you like us but distrust us at the same time. Shaped so most don't understand us even while we speak their language so we can insult people and talk with ourselves without you all knowing what the hells going on lmao

I mean it's not just the English who mock the French, plenty of us Americans do it to, it's one of the few still remaining carry overs of our English Cultural Roots. Albeit in our case plenty of us (Myself included) are merely joking.

I actually accidentally made the indo-Norse after I married a daughter to a random Indian guy that was hanging out in some Slavic court.

Challenge idea - Start with the Duchy of Aragon with Navarra as your liege. - Focus your family on stewardship and chivalry only. - Gain independence. - Convert to Asatru or Tengriism. - (Optional: Gain the Viking trait.) - Form a hybrid culture with any Germanic, Turkic or Mongolic culture with the Basques. (F'ing OP raiders) - Then conquer Iberia, West Francia, Greater Italy.

It might be because meatballs are made of beef or pork, which are against Hinduism or Islam respectively, the dominant religions of India. Lamb meatballs or chicken taste strange unfortunately
