Can the LAST VIKING revive his DEAD FAITH? - CK3 Asatru Challenge

In the 1066 start date, there are not that many Vikings left in the world! Asatru has lost almost all of It's power to the mighty cross! But ONE Last Viking remains! Erik the Heathen still has a chance to reclaim the Kingdom of Sweden, and bring back the DEAD FAITH to life! So join me in this Crusader Kings 3 adventure to bring Odin back into the world in this CK3 Asatru Challenge!
In this video, Koifish will attempt to re-take all of Sweden from the Catholic Crusader Kings, and reform the once dead religion into a new, powerful and mighty one! I will be using all the tips and tricks and strategies that I went over in my Lifestyle guide series, mainly focusing on Martial and Learning! I'm also playing with all the current DLC, Including Northern Lords, Royal Court and Fate of Iberia!

[@Koifish]

*The LAST Viking makes his stand! FOR ODIIIIIN!* Hello HELLO! Big news! I am actually currently recording a series of Crusader Kings 3 challenge videos... where I do NOT play Norse or Asatru! SHOCKING! Can you guess what kingdom/Character I will be playing as first? Hint: It's in the 1066 start date!

[@NA-yq5wi]

I've asked in other videos commentary, but i'm gonna ask again. Can you do with your friends a challenge, where you have to as warriors and knights to kill the biggest amount of people in CK3? Who kills more - win. No intrigue or execute

[@DMNSAlex]

harold godwinson??

[@marcus4046]

I missed the Sigurd Ring gaming. Also If your doing less haestienn gaming heres an idea, Play as a Greek Byzantine and Culture hybrid with norse to make the Varangian Culture.

[@vincewithoutthe164]

Harald Hardrade, king of Norway, Varangian, and claimant to England?

[@GuidenYT]

I'm not gonna lie. After watching so many of your CK3 videos I still can't fathom how to actually play this game and I own it.

[@Koifish]

Neither can I >:D

[@conanmcdonagh2619]

Fun fact about Ásatrú: the term Ásatrú is actually modern Icelandic & pronounced "OW-sah-true". It translates to English as something like "faith in the gods" ("Ása-" referring to the Aesir) & is the name of the modern Neo-Pagan revival of the Norse religion. The pagan Norse themselves actually didn't have a name for their faith, or at least not one that they recorded.

[@walnzell9328]

I would watch a cartoon show about Jarl Haesteinn in a sort of Groundhog Day loop where he goes on crazy adventures throughout time before being reset to Montague, ready to go again.

[@RichfoxCapital]

“A daughter is basically an alliance!” 😂 Pure gold.

[@fredrikkirderf2907]

fun fact we actually have family tree which shows sigurd ring as descended from Odin himself. and on another note William the conqueror was descended from that family as well meaning he was descended from Odin as well and another funfact almost everyone of British, French and Scandinavian (as well as probably most other Europeans) is actually descended from William the Conqueror meaning almost everyone of European descent is a son/daughter of ODIN!!!!!!

[@polod1375]

the english already claimed descent from woden before the vikings arrived

[@fredrikkirderf2907]

@@polod1375 thats true but using my method you could create a family tree strait to the Allfather himself without missing any gaps

the royal family of the uk are descended from ODIN!!!! then

[@ihatenickurs]

odin was real?

[@ImperiumRomanum476]

​@ihatenickurs It depends. As a Norse Pagan, I believe so, yes. However, it depends on your faith, as most don't believe so (hence why many call it Norse mythology)

[@MageThief]

I am playing this right now, have taken over all of Scandinavia and I am now aiming for England. Really fun start.

[@johnburns7421]

I’ve played this a few tries. I can keep it together for a while but everything ends up going off the rails eventually. What was your strategy??

[@dingus6317]

@@johnburns7421 I like to focus on only giving out titles to my dynasty. If one of my vassals isn’t a part of my dynasty, I’ll try and form a matrilineal marriage with their heir, and if I can’t matrilineally marry the heir I matrilineally marry the second heir and murder the heir.

[@12354rony]

I once played as one of the truly last Vikings in ck2, sad they didn't allowed the date to be rolled here but I get it. At certain day Asatru just disappears, so I've picked one of hardest from the three of four remaining counts up in northern Sweden the day before lol. Conquered Scandinavia, GB and parts of the southern Baltic, reformed the faith, sacked Rome, captured the pope and executed him in a blot. It was glorious.

how many can be done with haestin ? xD
