Quiet common for people with long curly/wavy hair. Very hard to control to the point it seems it has a mind of its own, so it switches up every now and then.

Honestly a mercenary becoming the byzantine emperor through a peasant rebellion doesn't sound too far-fetched

[@hongyishi9512]

It gives Chinese dynastic succession

byzantium really was the true successor to rome wasnt it

[@thehistoricalgamer1960]

Something like that kinda did happen. Before the first crusade a Norman mercenary rebelled against the Byzantine emperor and conquered much of Anatolia

It was cool of Paradox to create a DLC inspired by the gap year Laith spent traipsing across Europe, committing petty larcernies, heresys, and cons, with a cohort of unwashed strangers in toe.

Bro has the monk robe hoodie drip.

[@haniziaee]

Exact thing I thought as soon as I opened the video😂

[@rush4in]

28:11 The first Roman was the Bulgarian tsar from 977 to 991 when he supposedly got mistaken for a Byzantine by the Bulgarian border guard and killed paving the way for Samuil to become tsar and have his decades long showdown with Basil II.

[@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595]

what an incredible way to die.

Finally CK3 Bannerlord update

[@Francis_I-1805]

A good challenge would be to play the viking invasion of england as alfred. Have your titles taken by the vikings like what essentially happened in real life and try to go from landless to reclaim your lands forming england. With apocalyptic viking setting on.

[@brandonwinnie2333]

When you realize the COA you made on reddit a few months ago appears in a KZbin video...

[@tipiet560]

I love how Laith looks like a Mediterranean duke here with his hair and beard, you gotta love it.

I love historically accurate lando norris

[@lemnajcavite]

This is so gonna make sense for Republics and maybe playing Mayor. I can jusr imagine improving cities around the world and getting renown out of it.

do they have transgender operations on illegal aliens who are in prison?

[@0th_Law]

I honestly thought that you wouldn't be able to spread legends as a landless character. Now I basically _have_ to find a way to get a Heroic Legend, on top of taking that Knight-Errant decision.

[@OoUNSTOPABL3oO]

Laith, Instead of combing your entire empire for your regions to give away, you can just activate the list view in the top right corner that looks like a small piece of paper. Easy to see what you own and what you just gained.

[@sourmain5732]

To anybody in the Modding community that happens to see this checking out laiths video. please make a Dungeons and Dragons mod for CK3. I would play it nonstop and you would get every award that I could possibly give.

[@Lt.Dan42791]

This content fills the gap that I always felt playing the CK2 Faerun mod

[@AbstractTraitorHero]

The Ck2 Faerun mod is great & they wanted to do a ck3 version, but they just don't have the people experienced in 3D modelling for it, if you or anyone you know can help. Send them the teams way.

Laith: "I have become a peasant leader" Everyone: "But... You don't care about the peasants?" Laith: "Well, I do now!"

Liver shots in wrestling is absolutely goated. I think it’s because the decision is a martial + prowess combination, and unless you have a major debuff like a sickness or a bad personality trait a good martial skill will give you a comparably decent prowess (or vice versa, cant remember off the top of my head). I will liver shot every time it gives me an option to despite what chance of success the game says and I win nearly every time, though I also almost purely play Vangarian Northern men so 🤣

Some ideas I have for campaigns/achievements: - Heir of Izrael: as a Jewish wanderer, rebuild the kingdom of Izrael (Preferably as a great conqueror) - Super seducer: a traveler who succesfully seduces wives of every single king in Europe (Bonus points if it's in multiplayer, extra bonus points if you seduce all kings too) - Revenge time: as a Hindu wanderer, migrate to Scandinavia and conquer the vikings
