The way they swapped the general pips on the mercs was so confusing, silly paradox does silly things

I laughed so hard when he said 4 siege but there was a lighting there and not a cannon. Silly paradox! 😅

[@mehmetcagrekici951]

Did you know; Smyrna was conquered by Timur with 4000 man against knights 200. Also Bodrum Fortress was belonged to knights and Mehmet the conqueror tried to take the castle 2 times (1453 and 1480) and both times knights managed to hold the fort until Suleiman the magnificent conquered the island of Rhodes on 1522. Fun fact: The knight hospitallers used the stones from Mausoleum of Halicarnassus to reinforce the castle.

[@Wasserkaktus]

I'd rather them have kept that Mausoleum intact.

[@dusk6159]

​@@Wasserkaktus I agree, but it's inevitable, like with every other similar situations by other factions, civilizations, cultures and soldiers.

thanks for watching bro and glad to hear it ^^ i love history to love to share a bit of it

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

15:47 - A note, it can be useful to make Malta your capital since it is easier to complete the fortification mission if you have a Capital fort there, otherwise you need to wait until you have Level 4 forts.

[@julianurbaniak7055]

I must say Ludi your videos are amazing and im very happy each time you upload. Cant wait until you mobilize your subscribers to take back the rightful lands of the roman empire, until then wish you the best of luck with your channel and future sieges.

[@LudietHistoria]

much love brother ^^

Waiting to see how long until Ludi notices the "siege" is actually shock.

If the Latin Empire and Romania are on the map together, each should have a "name dispute" CB on the other as the Latin Empire was historically called the Empire of Romania. *Also the same with Byzantium (Rhomania/Romania) if it reemerges after Romania is formed. 😛

[@AiluridaeAureus]

I mean, straight up. The "crush the pretender" CB already exists between Rome, Holy Roman Empire and Byzantium in CK3. There should totally be a "crush the pretender" CB for the different Roman pretenders until only one stands.

[@Pigraider268]

"Basileia Rhomaion" so you are not exactly correct here

[@bioemiliano]

@@AiluridaeAureus Wait why isn't there a crush the pretender for Trebizond then? It'd be useful as Byzantium

Bro, every latin knight knows that a proper mustache has only 2 ends. This is calling for excommunication.

Most annoying thing about Knights, cannot abdicate your heir and can get stuck with bad mana. Nice video Ludi

[@ohNojames]

Rebels are maddening in this run. This is exactly how I did it. Everyone else released BYZ I just took their place....but then I got stomped by the Mamluks.

[@ozza4496]

I noticed something funny while messing with the console commands. If you form the Latin Empire straight from the knights you stay a duchy but you can choose the 1st gov reform. However if you form Jerusalem first then the Latin Empire you get bumped to an empire but you get locked in crusader state gov reform.

[@rique3012]

I confess that I was ready for listening Ludi say “If you don’t know what the Holy Trinity is, you should check out the Bible”

[@mahdiali872]

it was so funny when he was so surprised of the amazing siege generals lol before he noticed way layer

[@ominousflames14]

The Latin Empire has only Crusader state ideas? I love playing as the Knights. Previously that mission just changed the nation to the Latin Empire, which couldn't be removed even with changing into other nations afterwards. One thing you missed out on by forming that nation is, if you took Antioch as the Knights, you get an event in the mission tree that gives you +10% morale of armies and +10% national manpower modifier till the end of the game. (but I know you were only showcasing the new colour tag of the Latin Empire)

[@_Aritus_]

Was able to form into this as Naples -> Two Sicilies -> Jerusalem -> Latin Empire which was hilarious to say the least.

[@ominousflames14]

I love doing as many formables as i can. Especially with nations that grant permanent modifiers with missions or events.

[@RhombonianKnight]

Skanderbro, best bro. EDIT: Also neat that the Latin Empire is now a proper formable instead of a title change. I managed to make a cursed Roman Empire with the Latin Empire title in my Provence into Jerusalem campaign before 1.35 dropped. Those Latin Empire ideas would have been sweet to have.

watching a Ludi video is everytime entertaining but also informative and despite the fact i love history the background knowledge from Ludi to a topic is also insane and thrives me everytime that he talks even more about history.
