I reclaimed ALEXANDER'S EMPIRE...

Following on from the "I revived ALEXANDER'S EMPIRE in 58 AD!" video, today we look to continue the insane conquests. Starting out with an almost impossible EU4 challenge, we have to take on EU4 Parthia and EU4 Rome in an attempt to win back and form Alexander's Empire. For those of you who remember the EU4 Athens video, it's like that... but backwards. EU4 Guide ? You decide.

Want to see how we got here? Here's how! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIang2WwjreEpsU

[@gabrielaldworth7476]

Could you make a part 2 to that Byzantine video and reclaim Rome

[@gifs_for_the_peasantry]

Now take it all. From Greece to India. Dance for us map man, DANCE FOR US!! We want nice borders, pain, weirdly specific historical roleplaying and much more pain. But seriously, I love this campaign. Hope to see more of it, but ofcourse I get it when a game has run it's curse

[@sizanogreen9900]

Yeah! Give us *NICE BORDERS!!*

[@ScientificDuck]

NO! THATS NOT ENOUGH! FROM PORTUGAL TO JAPAN!

[@idontlikerome2744]

@@ScientificDuck From sea to shine sea

[@PointnShootMovies]

Thanks, king.

[@gabrielaldworth7476]

I love it when I get surprised that the Social streamers make a part 2 Also, mate, here in East Anglia the temperature got up to 38°C yesterday and its supposed to be 43°C today - feels bad and I can imagine your Office is hell as well.

[@Lucky13Ravens]

From a fellow Anglian, I feel that.

[@maxddf1049]

greetings fellow farmer

[@european_mapper-FR]

I do believe there’s a law somewhere against all that bordergore

[@saintbread5080]

I though a moth landed on my screen and jumped but it was just the menu you get when you hover your mouse over a province

[@kizermason]

Can we see a Tibetan empire next?

[@luchs2820]

alternative title of this episode could be "pain. suffering even." lmao

[@joshtaylor9626]

Laith can’t wait for the next episode because this is really cool

[@kevinsanders1656]

Please do more of this campaign. The border gore is killing me.

[@anonymoususer_324]

looked at the thumbnail and thought "why is turkey long?"

[@MuppetLord1]

Awesome episode, stay hydrated m8!

[@jackpryce3875]

It’s been raining in Northern Ireland tipical

[@oskaralexandernielsen5551]

I accidentally read it as Bacteria

[@waleedkhalid7486]

This reminds me of why I hate snaking. The border gore!!!

[@meri7108]

22:05 it does work that way, −1% per 15 development of the owner

[@montanaman1554]

MOREEE PLEASE

[@thatponybro6940]

i think there's something to do with culture if you wanna release a vassel, but idk

[@lol_histicall4289]

Heat wave? you mean Florida climate

[@magoochito]

Laith you got great charisma

[@shronkler1994]

will you try something in the later start dates of the et mod (understandable if not, given that eu4 mechanics aren't really compatible past the 1800s and the flavour is kinda stale)

[@Kus519]

U forgot egypt

[@goksir5845]

The dev nuking events happen if you develop past 15 development. They stop with the medicine institution. The mod is stupid.

[@desmondlethem8057]

yay more extended timeline, I hope we see more of it in the future

[@anonymousperson4350]

Ikr, extended timeline is the best series

[@HannahHäggAutisticTransWoman]

Yeah so many scenarios to play

[@Thundrecea]

Warscore cost does scale to the size of the nation. Specifically dev, not number of provinces, but it certainly applies to that Rome.

[@R-H-B]

I didn’t even know that. That’s good

[@XiaoYueMao]

pretty sure warscore costs scales with over extension, ie, 100% ws (if thats all in provinces) is 100% overextension, not including any modifiers to to that,

[@victorconway444]

ANTIQUITY CAMPAIGNS >>

[@EthanThomaMagaron]

Please do a Voltaire's nightmare. Either in Spain or one of the Byzantine states during the Latin empire

[@thehucklebillyfenn]

Bactria actually existed before Alexander the Great. The Greeks in the area, while actually a mix of Greeks from the various regions under Persian control, were mainly from Cyrenaica which is in eastern Libya today. The Bactrians actually heavily resisted Alexander’s conquests, but they inevitably fell and were under the jurisdiction of General Seleucus I who would later reign over it after the empire split up following Alexander’s death. More Greeks did eventually migrate to Bactria during the time of the Seleucid Empire, but the Bactrians you controlled in your video would probably be more likely to burn Macedonia to the ground as revenge for the conquests and subjugations of Alexander rather than view it as their wayward homeland funnily enough.

[@TheOzelot11]

EU4 should make it requirement to not have lost a war in the last 10 - 20 years to start a golden era. Maybe also no bankruptcy etc. Doesn't make sense to start a golden era, if your country is shit, just because you fulfill the 3 age requirements.

[@tigrecito48]

i think you should be able to take more provinces not just cos Rome is big but cos its an early date - its not the middle ages & renaissance so everything is less developed.. and empires in those days used to take more land in wars historically

[@lemondelbosque7702]

You couldnt release the blue horde because none of the provinces were of the blue horde's primary culture by the look of it. If it states that a province will drift from that country's control, it cannot be released from there. Only when it says something like "it will never lose this province as a core" HOWEVER If you release a vassal, all cores will be released with that vassal, both cores that are a primary culture of the nation (the ones needed to release the vassal to begin with) and those that arent. If you've ever tried to release reconquer lithuania from the commonwealth, you'll know that despite lithuania having like 30 core provinces, you can only release lithuania from around 8 of them.

[@jawa3680]

Technically Greece includes Ionia at this time, so you don't need to cross the Aegean to make it to Greece.

[@TheHunterOfYharnam]

It includes anatolia as a whole even today

[@aidbotwoody939]

Could always try and resurrect the Assyrian Empire from well beyond the grave... that seems like pain

[@zachmoore6084]

Alexander didn’t have a snaky empire! Neither can you! Clean that mess up

[@jkyeah8033]

Next part

[@bookmarkobjectanimations123]

You should do kent, the mod actually get's the culture wrong for the time of the country's existence, it was one of two jutes areas, not an angle or a Saxon, thus not anglo-saxon!

[@azarlgor]

If you want to avoid the Drought, Famine and Plague, you would need to limit deving based on terrain/trade centers. For deserts, mountains, steppes and savannas, that have no Center of Trade, dont go above 8 development. If they have a CoT 15 is the cap. For other terrains with no CoT the cap is 15 Other terrain with lvl1 CoT cap is 23 And with lvl2 CoT on good terrain it goes up to 27 without getting dev losing events.

[@makasbtw]

Day 2 of asking Laith to drink water

[@finnsstories5256]

Thanks f0r makin great content

They're in Uni and have a load of debt I doubt it will be soon.

[@briguy345]

Woooooo

[@airkid6160]

I'd love to see another episode of this series, but if you decide not to, I think you doing an "Outpace the conquests of Timurlane" video with Extended timeline would be cool

[@mcalkis5771]

Do continue! Make sure to convert to Hellenism.

[@tigrecito48]

i looked up the weather in different places around the world today. did you know we had the same temperature in the UK as in Tunis? both 36 degrees Celsius

[@Belks1453]

Social streamers try not to use the same fucking music every video challenge (Impossible)

[@jessicalindo7977]

Laith, get a ceiling fan. They seriously save lives and work very well. You'll still be sweating your balls off, but no heat stroke. Works wonders for me at 47 degrees

[@nathanaelsallhageriksson1719]

Jesus christ, the border gore. Well, you have a duty to protect the enviroment, and I'd say that doing some cleaning up would help alot with that. Please, don't end this with a snake to macedon.

[@MGoogle3146]

Worst map painting I've seen for a while lmao PLEASE fix this with another episode!!!

[@monkeydetonation]

Absolutely disgusting borders. I am horrified

If you have the money, either hire mercs to sot and suppress rebels or have a few regular stacks do the same. It’ll stop all but the most serious rebel issues from rising.
