Goal: Starting as the minor tribe of Bohtan, form Kurdistan, become a theocracy, and spread Kurdish culture and the Yazidi faith as much as possible.
Rules:
Kurdish must remain our only accepted culture for the entire game (we can tolerate other cultures, but not accept them). We must also keep Kurdish as our common, court, and liturgical language.
No allies allowed at any point.
Game is played on Normal/Ironman, no mods. If you like this content, feel free to like and subscribe and support me on Patreon ( or as a YouTube Member. Thanks for watching!

You sound AI generated
900th like 😀 I can t wait for the next challenge.
revive assyria in EU5
Will you ever play anbennar
There is nothing in this video
I know you most likely abandoned EU4 (as any other youtube creator), but in case you want some kind of unique challenge – try to play mostly staying as a regional power (without mindless blobbing in every direction) and using subsidies, gifts, condotierri, support rebels (and DoW with "enforce rebel demands" peace option, which is capped at 50%WS, means if you support byzantine separatists in Ottoman empire, you liberate far more than 100% WS worth of provinces for just 50% WS), like this shadow puppeteer. My elevator pitch skills suck, but you get the idea
Best playthroughs out there!

Every modern Paradox game be like: complex intricate mechanics that the AI is too retarded to use, late-game lag, random crashes, bugginess and shitty overcomplicated UI.
You could also just wait for the first 2 wars to end, while you are at it create a tribal confederation and invite the sutayyid’s vassals and the other vassals and then start the war of independence, with that method you can get independence before the time you could get to monarch reform.
Note that:
Inviting sutayyid vassals to the confederation will prevent them from joining the war against you, and they wont be able to help you.
But if you invite the other vassals that arent sutayyid’s (the ones more to the south) they will join the war and help you greatly
Game looks like no logic, or historic , it looks like overdone .
Love you Roo. Please balkanize China.
To quote Mater from Cars 2
I want you

Biji Kurdistan ❤🎉❤
I love the idea that Kurdistan in this timeline, despite being the 10th most powerful country, being at the crossroads of the world, and being COVERED in railroads, barely has any knowledge of Western Europe.
Thank you for the video, as a Kurd I enjoyed it.
Just ignore the wave of fascist🇹🇷🇮🇷 comments, it's normal.
I never thought I'd say these words, but god do I miss the Ottomans. I have around 100 hours so far and I'm yet to see them become any more than a regional power.
Very cool!
There needs to be something to make players want to continue a run because what I see is either restart a run from devastating defeat or they win almost every single battle and make some pretty much just impervious I want to change that to having history where you can continue fighting for your state so people are not tempted to save scum that's a really hard habit to break.
Great video! You are one of the few content creators that actually play this game to the end date. As someone with a Mac and unable to play eu5 I appreciate it so much 😄
Hey man! Missed ya, glad to have some content again. Hope all is well!
It’s a shame EU5 is so janky because the foundation of how the economy works is so interesting
Historically Accurate Gameplay lmao
You're the first person I've watched play EU5 and I have to say you make it seem easy. Good job as always!
Watching this from turkey
23:48 This reminds me of how in Vic 2, leaving the game can make the AI for some reason change their mind and accept peace deals if they originally wouldn't
I love your content!
Keep going,greetings from Russia
Great Video. Good commentary. Great use of real history, would love to see more in your future videos. Thanks for the content.
brace yourselves for turkish hate against kurds comments!
Excellent run, Rooo! I was very happy to see another edited video, so thanks for that.
I did laugh when a few minutes in it seemed to be going well, and then I saw the chapter was called "First Attempt" and only had a couple more minutes left. 😆
Really hoping they manage to solve the worst of the jank soon. It's such a good game underneath.
Holy forts. Ngl I’d delete so many of those forts as soon as I expand past them
For a challenge run try Armenian culture and have a lot of fun
Great video! Too bad it isn't going be available in the middle East
play as georgia and create an ortho persia
stoked to see the runs in this game as patches clean it up
hawaii polynesia run
good video, thanks
This game seems… so broken
Start as sarbdaran in khorasan and form persia do that in live pls

If you are interested I made a mod to fix this
It gives a debuff to assimilation when your primary culture is less than 30% of your total pops
I've played with it and it totally fixes Mongols assimilating everyone
Irl kurds: My tribe is kinda stateless
RAAAGHHH I LOVE YAZISISM🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚
Are you planning on making eu4 videos?
