Mega Campaign | CK2 to EU4 to V2 to HoI3 | 769 AD to 1948 AD Timelapse

[@Columbia1867]

That Celtic Blitzkrieg was unbelievable!

[@joechill9747]

Celtic once again dominated the continent, used to be drove off to the edge of the map, found new land and dominate it, now all the child of new world restore the celtic to its rightful place in the heart of europe

[@CaptainOvious123]

fuck sake we'd all be speaking welsh, it'd be a vowel genocide

[@44Jimboslice]

CaptainOvious123 oy it was celts who won not the bloody welsh

[@yon2844]

CaptainOvious123 never forget the vowelcaust

[@forgottenodyssey]

Unless something changed in EU from CK when they converted it, if you paid attention to the culture maps during conversion, the Celtic Empire was Welsh culture.

[@wert7773]

[@goldenfiberwheat238]

I like how Byzantium does really well in ck2 and then immediately loses all its land within the first 50 years of eu4

[@MMOplayeerr]

They have quite a big country and no Ottomans and They still die in EU4. Poor Byzantium.

[@grantexploit5903]

This is one of the only true Mega Campaigns ever simulated, filmed, or undertaken. For some reason-probably inability to directly translate over games without making some manual adjustments-most of the time people just wuss out and do only 2 or 3 of the games in the Paradox series, especially leaving out Hearts of Iron. VrilGames, I salute you for finally doing a true Mega Campaign, leaving nothing out... ...except possibly Europa Universalis: Rome and March of Eagles. Oh, and Stellaris.

[@IndicaScarlett]

Thanks! But let us not forget Sengoku! :)

[@otto9141]

or Sengoku or War of the Roses

[@IndicaScarlett]

Good luck. Victoria 3 huh, do you know something we don't? :) What year will you start from?

[@pireninja]

Dude, 769 is where all the cool kids start

[@IndicaScarlett]

Nah, the cool cats start in 867.

this is a beautiful sight for a welshman to see

Was brilliant for an Irish man too what our countries could do together

As long as you're a fascist too

[@danielbody6051]

I thought it was the Irish, until I saw the EUIV culture mapmode in North America.

[@kevinyang7042]

It's confirmed if the Celts took the place of the Brits then World Domination is possible!

[@joshkidd5463]

Brits got almost there but celts finished the job

[@prydain4131]

+Kevin Yang The Celt empire was run by the Welsh from it's foundation onward. Wales is in Britain and Britain is named after us because we called ourselves 'yr brythonaidd' The Brits did take over the world, but the real ones this time not the German invaders from Angeln and Saxony that would later call themselves the 'English'

[@joshkidd5463]

+Simmons From Wales you do realise Welsh is an old Saxon word for slave you didn't call yourself Welsh the Saxons did as Welsh were saw as second class by Romans and Saxons alike

[@prydain4131]

+josh kidd 1) Welsh comes from the old English word for foreigner and never meant slave 2)I never said we called ourselves Welsh if read my comment I clearly said we called ourselves 'yr Brythoniaidd' which means 'the Britons'. The Romans named Britain after us. 3) I'm a Welsh speaker myself and I'm well aware of how we were treated by the English. All I was trying to say is how the Welsh *are* British because we were the first British people and Britain is named for us. The English weren't British natives and didn't think of themselves as British until around 500 years ago. I was just pointing out that the Celtic empire in this game *were* the Brits.

[@jucalebre7540]

yeah, loool

[@IceLordCryo]

dat Celtic invasion 0_0

[@tiberiuswolf8259]

Celtic invasion: Instead of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, they send Emerald Rose, Gaelic Storm, and the Dubliners

[@jeck988]

[@adolfasramanauskas6780]

seriously, like after seeing this video i dreamt of like a full scenario of the war and the relationships. P.S. I was one of the celtreich soldiers

[@TheSpecialJ11]

The Celts reconquered the land they lost to the Romans and German tribes...and then some. Only took them 2000 years.

[@escalonn]

Japan, more Catholic than the Pope Were HOI3 alignments based on V2 governments/ideologies?

Nobody expects the Celtic Inquisition!

[@Joesolo13]

[@crimson4069]

I was disappointed to see the celts lose...and then holy shit comeback

No kiddin

[@rovsea-3761]

Well they did have pretty much half of the new world.

[@tylermech66]

yah, suddenly INDUSTRY!!!

[@leonardoveras1]

the Pope fought to hell and back. Can't blame him for not trying.

[@themadhammer3305]

Leonardo Veras hell by the end of eu4 the pope controlled more land in Australia than in Italy, gg pope

[@Joesolo13]

The Mad Hammer can't forget Latin papal Latin papal Brazil!

[@themadhammer3305]

Joesolo13 the question i have now is that, if there all the catholic countries are now one mega empire then does that mean the pope is always from that empire?

[@jacobgarrison1510]

Celtic Empire OP Please Nerf

[@bapo224]

Latin papal Australia which is of the Welsh culture, now that's not something I expected. Great video as always Vril :D

[@anodynemathematician4194]

Then becomes the communist New South Wales

[@drakedangereux8042]

The Celtic Autocracy versus the Burgundian Union and Papal UN,that was so influential it had a major Muslim nation on board xD

[@princereechaos133]

Celtic Empire: All your Burgundy are belong to us

[@benharkin4909]

+Reechaos For like all your planet belong to us. They fucking took the world right out of the grip of defeat.

[@morsletum5348]

@@benharkin4909 "right out of the grip of defeat." Not really t they had most of north america as part of their homeland.

[@CZEFrank]

I felt kinda bad when the Pope and Yugoslavia lost after holding out against Burgundy for so long, but still holy shit for Celtic power!

[@branislavhamborsky5535]

8:11 that time you remembered that celts have colonies

[@sssogo]

Welsh America, now that's something I like.

I love this, but as mentioned below, without CK2 nations would be more realistic. But this one had to be definitely done. Nice job ;-)

[@IndicaScarlett]

+Sword001's Gaming Videos It's still real to me.

[@Orion_Fritz]

8:10 NOBODY EXPECTS THE CELTICIA INQUISITION

[@marionlara428]

That "mongol Mongolia" at the beginning of eu4 though.

[@maximonamitzhian9064]

I keep coming back to this timelapse. It's just so well done. From that Melitene empire that appeared out of nowhere in the caucasus to the massive India in the end. Or how Burgundy completely took over France in just two centuries. It's also refreshing to see the AI pulling a naval invasion correctly there at the end.

[@SkiddyGaming]

Celts held out in Dublin. Typical Ireland, resisting and then defeating the invaders and never... ever giving up. :)

[@kainewest6308]

So basically the Holy Brittanian Empire won the entire game

This mega campaign definitely deserves another round. Pretty epic seeing the Celtic Empire come back out of no where

[@jarodburger]

he actually did it. what an absolute madman

[@Ayowtfisgoingon]

This was amazing, and I can tell there was a LOT of work put into this

[@alangodin5244]

in the eu4 portion burgundy had such a great comeback

[@Crick1952]

Imagine if you used the mods that allow you to start from 500 BCE in CKII and then the extended history ones in HOI4 so you could link it with Stellaris... a mega campaign lasting almost 3,000 years.

[@shadowapple8890]

And when the great war was over, the Celtic Empire and its allies ruled almost the entire planet. The Papal-Alliance had been completely defeated. Only the southern islands of Japan and the Kingdom of New South Wales stood apart from them, the last representatives of the decimated Comintern. Fantastic.

[@digitalcultureshow1991]

The Celtic Anschluß was pretty insane

[@RTO41]

The Celtic invasion was just like Normandy

[@tosterboys]

[@chasebusch7426]

I love how you can tell exactly when reinforcements from the colonies arrive for The Celts

The HoI 4 part begins like: "Workers of the world unite! Tear the fascists down!" And then: "All hail the thousand-year Celtic Empire!"

[@danielbody6051]

The poor Zunbils. The dynasty was finally going to make it to EUIV, before it was toppled in the last few years by the Nesirid dynasty. Such a shame.

[@TheKeksadler]

I'm surprised that the Zunbil-turned-Neserids survived the entire campaign.

[@thefiremaster112]

So Japan become Catholic even tho Catholicism was never invented? Seems logic to me.

[@Cheyis_]

Pretend that in this scenario, that Catholicism is a mix of Shinto and Chalcedonian beliefs.

Buyaguich, Scdidiidvid, Shdlldchid is totally valid Yussiai (Яussiaи), isn't it?

[@inutilus_1387]

Comrad Euro Croats don't have it as a national writing but because of the cultural influence of nearby Balkan states and their former affiliation with Yugoslavia most Croats are able to distinguish Cyrillic writing, however since East-Slavic Cyrillic was never really present on the Balkans, Russian along with Belorussian and similar writings are not perfectly clear to Slavs from the Balkan region without more of a formal education on that particular matter. Whether or not Croats actually use or understand Cyrillic is a very sensitive subject, and one that shouldn't be discussed on the internet.

[@comradeuro4255]

Dr.WHIMP Well hello, I happen to be a Croat and I can't read or write Cyrillic and neither can anyone I know. Even though older people were required to learn it in school during Yugoslavia because they never used it they forgot it, the best you'll get from an old person is reading 1 Cyrillic word for 5minutes like a first grader. It's not really a sensitive subject at all, we don't use it or understand it and it has never been part of our national heritage. Even during Yugoslavia the official script in SR Croatia was Latin, Cyrillic was taught so you could understand what people from other republics were saying.

[@TheAthelasProject]

Yugoslavia Stronk! But Celts stronker! Anyway this was amazing, I'd like to see more of these!

[@anonymousmammal1741]

Wasn't going for anyone until Mercia showed up about 28 seconds in. Made the right choice!

This was so enjoyable Please do more of this

I love how Wallachia basically became the USSR.

any union of countries can be a "USSR". in theory, the term isn't nation specific. It's a term describing a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

[@NicholasEzclapz]

This was great. Long live the Welsh Empire.

[@AzoMaxim42]

What I dislike in such timelapses is that the only game where an empire may vanquish is CK2. I almost always see only ~5 large nations in Europe, which I don't like. .-. I really wonder if there are such mods which make empires very hard to stay.

[@yusuffulat6954]

[@destroyerinazuma96]

Question: isn't there a mod (Vict 2 Ultimate?) that allows to play from 800 BC to like 2100 and beyond? Or was it a eu4 mod? Thank you. This video is awesome, don't get me wrong if I was just trying to recall that mod that would give a similar experience without saves conversion.
