Elder Kings II: Rise of House Marcellus - 01 - Introduction

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to my first crusader kings 3 series on the channel. And, in what should come as no surprise given my track record in ck2, my first series is of a total conversion mod for ck3.

As it happens, this series is going to include a sort of recreation of a series I had originally planned and recorded in the crusader kings 2 version of this mod several years ago. The mod is called Elder Kings II and, as the name implies, is the successor to the Elder Kings 1 mod for crusader kings 2.

I originally recorded a series for that ck2 mod several years back but then my hard drive on my old computer was hit by a virus that basically forced me to reinstall windows and cost me all my data and I didn't have it in me to redo the series.

If you're a member of the damo2986 community on discord then you'll have a vague idea of what that series was like as I released an arr in text form chronicling the story of Marius, ruler of the imperial isle and surrounding provinces and "Regent" of the second empire.

The character I will be starting as here will be a little different. For one thing, he is not pretending to be any sort of authority over the empire and literally just took over after the previous ruler of the imperial isle and his family were killed and then proclaimed himself ruler of the isle.

He's basically operating on the logic that he holds the most important province in Cyrodiil so he deserves the rest of it. For any more information, you'll have to watch the video.

So, welcome to Elder Kings II where we will (hopefully) witness the Rise of House Marcellus and its' glorious ruler, Marius. Or I'll die horribly and cyrodiil will fall even more apart than it already has. Personally I'm hoping for option one.

Enjoy!
