The weirdest alt history thing that happened to me was in an Iberia campaign. At this point I was just converting culture to finish the struggle, I owned everything. My character marries the empress of the byzantine emperor, who dies in childbirth. This is great, as it's a daughter and I'm happy for her to just rule independently for house legacy points. Unfortunately, a faction event ended up deposing her and as I was her heir, I just ended up emperor of the byzantines. This was funny until I realised it actually broke the struggle mechanic. Out of frustration I ended up reforming the Roman Empire.

I've had an immortal character in CK2. I knew it was rare, but not as rare as you describe. The immortal character can live forever, but they still suffer from the effects of events. This means that after a few centuries they can end up like Monty Pythons black knight. They are an uber character with loads of bonuses, but the events have taken their toll. They have lost a leg. And an arm. And an eye. But they'll still butcher you in a duel....

31:21 In regards to the chess event, there are certain things you can do to boost your odds of winning. The game decides if you survive if you reach a certain amount of points, obviously most come from the RNG but there are a few things you can do to boost those odds. 1. Invite them in, even if you don't invite them to stay the event will fire so inviting them gives you the most amount of points. 2. Pick black, black gives you a slight point advantage while white doesn't. 3. Traits, If you have gamemaster, genius, etc. ONLY pick those RNG decisions as they massively increase your odds of winning 4. If you are feeling lucky, give up your kid, it increases your odds of playing a better move Besides that it's all RNG.

Fun fact: we generate different types of characters for the Explorer from the West event. For most of the various phantom isles they can tell you about, you'll get a deceitful explorer making up stories (though the stories they make up are generally historic examples of legendary islands in the Atlantic) - an explorer generated with the honest trait will only tell you about places they've actually been to, which means Greenland, the Purple Isles, orrr... the Sunset Empire.

My most memorable sunset invasion happened a few generations after I became the Saoshyant, at one point I had a german concubine who inherited a duchy after a plague swept through the HRE. Her heir became Holy Roman Emperor, turning the HRE into a bastion of zoroastrianism in central europe. To maintain the holiness of the lineage of the Saoshyant, the Persian Empire and the HRE were permanently allied (you know how). .Later when the aztec hordes came to europe, my German-Persian alliance responded with hordes of our own, eventually pushing the aztecs out of continental Europe. The lands of Charlemagne, Iberia, Poland, Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, etc... were all ruled by descendants of the Saoshyant by the time I moved on

I've noticed that in more recent patched, Haesteinn tends to go invade territory in Britain, which is actually pretty historically accurate. I'm wondering if that's a happy accident or if they actually directly tuned his AI to do that?

I've actually gotten the Adoptionism event chain twice because I really love playing as an Iberian Mozarab, but both games were in special Mozarabic achievement runs so I had to turn the final event down, which is sad because it likely would have been interesting.

The horchata from the Iberian event refers to the Valencia horchata, made with tiger nuts (although the game calls them “almond nuts”) . It doesn’t come with cinnamon. Those pictures of horchata in this video must be the Mexican horchata, where yes they add cinnamon to basically a rice juice (horchata really means the technique of juicing nuts or grains)

You forgot the selling your relatives to China for points

44:25 - IIRC there's actually like 4 separate versions of this archetype character, as a little easter egg towards Highlander and making it easier to get the achievement for killing another immortal.

32:32 Sadly the story of Elagabalus/Heliogabalus is mostly considered to be false. Not that they didn’t exist, but that the only major source we have of their reign is from someone who rly dislikes them, and in Roman culture the worst type of slander was being compared to a woman. Like if people found out a politician went down on his wife, that man’s career was over. It wasn’t explicitly about being a woman but about being lower, so like Ceaser’s political career was almost tanked cuz people found out he was bottoming for some king in Anatolia, but women were always seen as lower than men. As such, Elagabalus wanting to be a women shows them as being weak, spineless, and of low morals. I did my best to use gender neutral pronouns here as we still don’t know for certain, and prob never will, but I caution against using them as a trans icon.

This video is so good. I've been playing a lot CK for years by now. Since the 2. And i've seen many of those "iceberg events", but i had no idea of a few of them. So amazing. Very well done video and very well explained.

25:54. If you get the depression trait back there an event about it where your character says he remembers feeling like this, and stuff like that. That was depressing to read

The one thing that scared me when playing CK2 was late at night and that Marco Polo event popped up

After going all in on the immortality event chain a bunch of times I actually got it as a rus character by just clicking the buttons randomly. Barely cost anything because I had no income from my own lands and the events scale with yearly income. It kinda sucked. Ended up having the entire world in defensive alliances against me as I never had to deal with succession, so the only people I could attack were the ones who recently broke free from their overlords

You missed one of the coolest events from CK2. IF the child of satan is born in a position where there is NO possible way for them to ever inherit, most commonly if they belong to a muslim dynasty and are unfortunate enough to be female, they will dissapear shortly after their 16 birthday. Everyone will be super-relieved of course, since they still tend to kill some of their siblings on the way out. Roughly 20 years later they return as the leader of the Aztecs, leading the sunset invasion. And YES, this can happen at any time. I had it happen in the year 800 once. Luckily I was playing in Persia or something at the time, IIRC, so I wasn't first on their hit-list.

The bit in the Cthulhu event about ramming it with your boat is a reference to the original Call of Cthulhu story where the main character does just that.

39:42 - ah ok, so you meant horrific as in actual like personal disgust, fair enough. I personally prefer the varied death sounds, minus a select few (breaking someone on the wheel is not a fun sound), but the good news is that if you prefer less annoying death sounds, there are mods that fix it. I prefer the Lego Yoda death sound mod, with a soft spot for the medieval coffin dance death sound mod.

I was writing an AAR advertising the Iron Century for CK2, and in the middle of it, I got Marco Polo. It was perfect foreshadowing for how I had Asatru reestablished in Saxony.

Hello. I would like to translate and voice your video into Russian, for a Russian-speaking audience. I've already got half of it ready. Do you allow me to post a translation of your video on my channel?

sure, go for it 😄

I'm really happy you've asked - the hair looks great and I envy how good it looks.

I’ve played around 800 hours of ck2 and never once gotten child of satan but I’ve gotten multiple child of destiny children

Just saw your channel for the first time and seeing the iceberg as well as your obscene amount of hours on ck2 (I have you beat by 500 hours) I had to drop a sub.

I would add another one to the deepest level from my personal experience. Back when reaper's due just released and added court physicians, there initially was no limit on cultures with which doctors could be generated. So in an absolute chance of fate when I was going for Byzantine campaign the game randomly generated a character named Caesar the wise of the Roman culture. Which I of course used to spawn more of and later converted culture. It felt so magical

I think Haesting is a chump compared to Dyre the Stranger. Dyre is a 22 year old genius viking with 1000 event troops and 1/2 of them are huscarls and the other half id varangian vets. Dyre is related to every other viking Jarl on the map and can ally ALL of them. IN FACT... Dyre can Vassalize every norse viking within 10 years, and create the north sea in his own lifetime. He starts off with a norse holy site, and can easily take over 2 more and run a pilgrimage to reform Aasatru within 5 years. I have done pretty much everything with Dyre, it is Haestening on steroids. Because he starts in Kiev, noone realizes how powerful he is, because to really use his diplo ties you have to conquer some land in scandinavia. You can conquer More, and you will border sigurd and bjorn. Then you can help make sure Ivar wins against east seax. If he does you can take the county between Ivar and Halfdan. The moment Bjorn creates sweden, you subjugate him with ivar and halfdan as allies it's an easy win. Once you are king with true ruler you can vassalize all your relatives (which is like every viking that matters). You get so powerful from that that everyone else will vassalize as well. You can do the whole thing with only 3 wars. Stranger ftw.

Oooh that sounds like fun, gonna have to try that one myself 👍

I managed to get the "Saga in Stone" achievement after dedicating around 8 hours of gameplay. My gameplay was far from optimal, and to make matters worse, I lost control of my realm on two separate occasions due to unexpected succession complications caused by a Muslim ruler.

Never saw a child of destiny, but several of satan. I'm also 2 for 2 on unscummed immortality and have actually seen Marco Polo. (1300hrs)

No wonder Marco Polo is scary The guy isn’t even born yet and somehow two people know him

I wish some of the mystical stuff from CK2 could return to the third game, would even buy dlc for once.

Awesome video! I would also add the event from the Northern Lords DLC for CK3 where you can meet Odin. I think it's kinda rare, I never had it myself, but I do know it exists.

Hey Cara if you get a chance try the "True Immortal Cultivation" mod for CKII, it's buggy but it's a ton of fun. I've played CK2 I wonder if CK3 has the werewolf events? The one of the most fun playthroughs was getting the werewolf event while going for the Ashina achievement. Also if you didn't get a chance, try the CKII vampire mod too, because you can daisy chain characters with high stats while spreading your "dynasty" across the world. Also I'm adding After the End mod too because it captures the fun of this game. Your hair is cute and matches your room ambiance!

One of my favorite event chains in ck2 is "band of merry men." At the end, i always give robin and marian a county.

For the getting eaten by a carp Easter egg, it may be a reference to the legendary British kings that have been eaten by fish. Also, I would’ve added the fact that the prophet Muhammad doesn’t have a character in game, he just has an icon since there’s a rule against depicting Muhammad
