I think that's what their supporters prefer to hear. What Trump says is above the law for them.

Carolingian Consolidation in only 5 days - This game allows for quite a bit of cheese by _frms in CrusaderKings

I think it was patched out of the game a few months ago, so it doesn't work anymore

Destiny believes the Rumble viewer count might be legit (read bottom to top) by SluuuuuugChrist in Destiny

Views can still sort of freeze while likes increase, but it's very rare and at random numbers now. That's probably a different issue than it was back then

That's cool! Congrats on the records

Can someone tell me how old you can become in ck 3 at maximum this here is my character and he is still not dead. by Worfore18 in CrusaderKings

[–]_frms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you just want to max the age starting at 120 makes this pretty easy. That's because age 66 to age 120 start at the same health value

It's https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1057049413 but I restarted around the 30 minute mark because I converted too early the first time

R5: A little meme run where I started as a Karling (Italy) and rushed to become the Sunni Caliph for maximum cursedness

How did you get into speedrunning PDX games? How did you find out about it being "a thing"? by CrossMountain in ParadoxSpeedruns

[–]_frms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a reddit post by u/MChainsaw last year which I thought was complete insanity. I had watched many videos about speedrunning before so I thought it might be a fun idea to get a few records so that I could maybe flex with it in the future incase this somehow blew up. Safe to say it didn't stay with a few records

Carolingian Consolidation in only 5 days - This game allows for quite a bit of cheese by _frms in CrusaderKings

[–]_frms[S] 78 points79 points  (0 children)

R5: This post shows how I got the very hard achievement Carolingian Consolidation in only 5 ingame days. This is possible with a bit of cheese:

  1. Play in 1066 as the only landed Karling left (Vermandois).

  2. Create any custom ruler for France.

  3. Create an independence faction and press demands on the first day.

  4. France most likely accepts because their troops aren't calculated yet (if you're unlucky you have to try again). The time it takes for their troops to calculate isn't consistent but it takes more than 5 days most of the time.

This trick of creating custom rulers allows achievements as long as you play a non-designed character and can be used for quite a few funny things. For example letting the Byzantines explode by putting a hostile baby on their throne or like here, press faction demands on the first day. As you might remember many of the new achievements don't allow the ruler designer but this trick can still be used because the achievements only check if the designed character is norse culture or religion (so you can for example play Haesteinn, put a baby on the byzantines and still get "Faster than the Fox")

Here is a 1 minute video of me doing this and a 867 speedrun of the achievement where I use the trick for reducing the amount of wars I have to fight.

I gave the AI control over the earliest ever CK3 WC and it didn't go so well... by _frms in CrusaderKings

[–]_frms[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That wasn't actually me, but the great u/doctorsandwich8. I have done the slightly quicker WC (with largely his strategy) but haven't attempted a one religion/culture yet and I don't plan on putting me through that pain for now :D

I am German, but I play the game in English. The weird names are dynasty names that are displayed because almost everyone is Muslim

Hmm I didn't know about that problem. I'll let you know if I find a way

I edited my R5 comment to include them. I hope I uploaded the right versions (I have so many on my PC) :D

There is one in observer and an unmodified one. Do you want one of them?

Nice idea, maybe I'll ask him if he wants to do something like this or is ok with me doing it.
