I united WEST AFRICA and INVADED EUROPE in CK3
Africa in CK3 is an absolute thunderdome. Today, we're going to attempt to navigate this battle royale in order to form an Empire that will take over the Europeans. We do eventually take the fight to them, even taking over Rome and converting it. Let's see what the rest of the story has to hold in this region - I also end up reforming the religion and probably should have introduced a new culture too!

@Micayah Ritchie "Although Afrikaans is very similar to Dutch, it is clearly a separate language, differing from Standard Dutch in its sound system and its loss of case and gender distinctions" - Britannica. The languages aren't mutually intelligible. Afrikaans speakers can understand written Dutch to a degree, but spoken Dutch is a different story. Saying that Dutch and Afrikaans are the same language is like saying that Spanish and Portuguese are the same. Afrikaans is an Indo-European language as you said, but it is only recognised in southern Africa where it developed into a distinct language.

@@dehanj6552 I do happen to think a case can be made that Spanish and Portuguese are the same language and I don't think the chasm between Afrikaans and Dutch is that wild given so many Dutch dialects have also lost gender distinction and reduced verb morphology. You can claim they're separate because of different written standards but again that's weird because most languages aren't written. I'm not saying they aren't different languages but saying it's clear and obvious I don't really buy. But I also can't say there's no case for them being separate Swedish danish and Norwegian are essentially dialects of the same language to me but widely accepted as different languages. But Caribbean English is largely not mutually intelligible with the English of the far north in Scotland that is itself not mutually intelligible with the English of rural new Zealand but I don't think anybody argues these aren't all English

I'm Jamaican. I don't think Jamaican Patois is English This is not a widely help opinion in Jamaica. And this is a thing that is significantly more different than Afrikaans Vs Dutch both lexically and grammatically. Phonologically can be argued since most sound changes exist in one English dialect or another but English is so big that was bound to happen

I've been watching your channel since Victoria 3 released, and since then I've watched some of your older CK2 stuff. I'd really enjoy watching more of that, especially with how much more complete of a game it is in comparison with CK3. I do enjoy watching CK3 and Vicky 3 quite a bit, though, and would love to see more of those. I'd for sure be interested in Elder Kings if you felt like doing non-Earth stuff for a break. Personally, I don't really enjoy any of the EU4 stuff, but that has more to do with the interface looking like garbage than anything else.
Laith, if you need to kill your male heir to sort out sucession, one good way to do it is to force them to be knights in your army, this way they will get involved in battles and are more likely to die of natural causes, when I played in Ireland and found out it wasn't really a good idea to have 4 wifes making lots of kids, it was a good way to really trim them out, specially if they aren't that good with combat x), plus, even if they don't die, well, you got a lot more land to give around and satisfy anyone thanks to their contribution :)

It could be fun to conquer south along the Baltic, and eventually take on the Byzantines?

Lol you think immigration to Europe is for any reason other than immigrants will do the jobs nobody else wants to? There are strict immigration control abd the vast majority of immigration is legal to get people working the worse jobs and the most educated to advance their own technology. When you look at pre pandemic Italy that had a job shortage in all manual labour fields abd simultaneously recorded record high unemployment it seems like maybe economically Europe needs more immigration or at least Europeans need to have more children and actually fill the jobs they claim people are "stealing"

Shame Africa is so damn boring, except Unite Africa there are no decisions. without the "Africa expanded" mod this whole region is a waste of time.
sometimes I get annoyed that laith plays CK3 in a lackadaisical way. Since the whole reason I started watching his videos in the first place is because I enjoy the try-hard/min-maxing way he played EU4. Then I remember that CK3 is an incredibly straightforward game once you get a basic grasp. So any attempt at min-maxing would just make the game incredibly boring.

@@christopherjobin-official7440 Traditionally, I would agree with you. It’s always more fun if the person you are watching is also having fun. However, in the case of paradox games the reason I started watching was more so that I could become better at the game than for pure entertainment. The learning curve for all paradox games is rather steep in comparison to other grand strategy games. So for me to see a tryhard beat the game rather handily with tactics I’d never seen before become a new way to enjoy the game for me.
