  • 6:30 "Uzani, his army with fists closed, shaka'ed when the walls fell" has to be the single greatest reference you've ever managed to work into one of your videos. Great work!
  • @punkaludunk
    3 in a week how can he get away with this 🥵
  • @ryanbarber6481
    That's insane that you can do THAT much expanding in one single life span. I always love reviving Zoroastrianism, it's so fun lol. But, I usually do my own Seljuk-inspired run with that, and start up in Oghuz-Il, and expand all the way down to the entirety of Persia.
  • @the1grove
    This DLC needs a rework already, I've already noticed that vassals can too easily claim your throne (and as a result become your rival). By the time your in your 20th year of the game, most if not all of your vassals could have a claim and launch constant wars against you.
  • This is a beautiful story you made, Mr. AlzaboHD. Only revving the Sassanid Empire with a one-lifetime protagonist is an excellent way of creating a saga for the Adventurous journey. I would love to see a sequel to it and have Persia conquer the Byzantine Empire and have the Shah make Constantinople his new capital; what would you think about the Sassanids conquering the Holy Roman Empire and having a relative become the Shah of the Germans and Italians. What do you think of that idea? Mr. AlzaboHD? Any thoughts, comments, and opinions about this idea? Fantastic video, my friend. Keep up the great work, and never give up!

    Imagine being one of the newest Iranian convert to Islam in this timeline. In your late childhood you begrudgingly accept your new religion but then some dude beams you psychic brain waves letting you know the patriots at in control, and restores Zoroastrian Persia in a few decades
  • @ThatOneREDScout
    12:52 "Our stinky sovereign celebrated his victory by farting on his Granddaughter-Wife" Just a normal game of CK3 right here.

    I'm using my one life to like, subscribe, and purchase the Legacy of Persia DLC using the link in the description below!
  • @aspacelex
    I dunno why everyone doesn't max out the court amenities as soon as they're a king, the opinion bonus is insane and allows you to invite basically anyone to your court.
  • @Gaivs
    Playing as the Bavandids has always been one of my favorites in CK3, as you normally have to play tall for some time, play politics with the Caliph and slowly usurp power in Persia.
  • @pedrotbird5426
    NEW ALAZBO HD CK3 VIDEO!! I know what I'm watching for the next 20 minutes
  • @bungalo50
    Those rug jokes really tied the whole video together man
  • @bigloopsie
    My lord Alzabo, this video of yours is quite exquisite. May I request you do more Democracy 4 content in the future? Maybe even those similar to your Japan one, even though you turning Brazil in a Sexist Ecostate was pretty fun.
  • bro loved your stuff for so long but when you dropped TNG reference my mind exploded thank you so much for all your clever word/game play
  • @nerdyfellow
    I don't know how someone can be so good at this game lmao
  • @hfirex13
    great dlc, man i can't believe how amazing this soundtrack is
  • These CK3 videos always get me back into the game, time to binge some challenge vids!
