Starts I Recommend in After the End for CK3

so after the end released a couple days ago on Steam finally I know you guys have been asking me when it was coming for a long time and I had to lie a lot saying that it would be like a week from now or a month from now but I I kind of knew when it was going to come out and so um in in honor of that I decided that we're going to do one of my starts I recommend videos uh but for this one I'm going to try and cover as much ground as I can without giving you too much that's sort of oxymoronic but I I want you to get a good taste of certain areas and like certain starts that you can do that are interesting but also you know not overwhelm you there's not a ton of lore as I've mentioned in the primer video there is lore but it's not as important what is important though is the unique faiths in the mod that make up the bulk of what makes it special so we're just going to start I'm basically going to go from top to bottom and just try and point out a few I don't know how many it's going to be in total I'm just going to try and uh show you some starts that I think are interesting some faiths that I think are cool and maybe some areas that just have a little bit floor that you can check out so starting off way up here in the north we have spard which is technically I think the northern most populated place in the world if I'm not mistaken somebody can correct me if I'm wrong I think it's part of Norway technically but it is also part of North America so they worship the Earth vault which if you're familiar with you know real life I was about to say real life lore but that's not how you call it that um there's a seed Vault that exists in spard which in case of an apocalypse there's there's basically every seed every plant that we have access to is stored here here so that should we need to regrow the Earth we can regrow that and they basically worship that which I think is really cool I don't know the practicality of actually playing up there I don't I mean I guess you could play tall it doesn't seem like there'd be a whole lot going on considering Greenland only has people along the what would this be the southwestern Coast so you know it could be a little boring but it's just an interesting little spot and I wanted to highlight it so the next one I want to do is the beaten and I like them for two reasons they have a really cool history they usurped well not really usurped they sort of took over the area from the previous family that used to live in this area and they're also this really cool veteran Faith they worship this person known as the unknown savior which is the basically second coming of Christ but not the Christ that you think of it's not Jesus Christ it is Christ they were basically like the Unknown Soldier and they died in the war to end all and they released the Holy Spirit and it basically helped end the war that was the event that in in in the way that they see it I plan on making a video about this faith cuz it's it's super interesting but the Unown savior is a is a cool character and they worship that and they have like this affinity for poppies there's three different veteran faiths so if you wanted to really play as any of those I would recommend it but the beaten are probably the coolest one up here in the maritimes so I can um I can attest you know from one of the devs that they're they're a fan favorite and they you just have a lot of options here too because you can go north you can go this way you can go south into New England if you want to just a lot of avenues of play and I just I also love their sigil I mean look at that so not really any particular order I'm jumping down to an occultist Faith now there's the lobstermen and there's also just the Hem lockers so two different occultist it doesn't actually matter to me which one you pick I just think you should play as an occultist so the Hem lockers are more like Forest people think of maybe not NE maybe like appalachin but not necessarily so they sort of like live in the woods they do esoteric rituals and they basically worship the old gods and they worship like weird mythical creatures and it's cool whereas the lobsterman sort of try to prevent the Deep ones from coming ashore and they sort of see themselves as the last Bastion against that so they they kind of have a weirder relationship as far as I understand with their occultism than the other ones do but still two really cool faiths they're all over here in New England if I'm not mistaken yeah you have the gothics and you have the fathomless so I would try out either one of those again it doesn't really matter who you pick you can play as this guy he has a king he's a king he also has a brother who's apparently interesting to play as or you have various other Gothic people up here again just just select whichever one looks interesting to you and go from there probably whichever one has the coolest start I kind of like the Green Mountain idea just because New Hampshire is a cool State and you have all this Green Mountain stuff and I believe they also get access to if you take this over you the kingdom of the twin crowns so that could be a fun early game uh goal for you while you try to reunite New England little further down I have to mention alagia I live in winster Pennsylvania which I've said before and of course I have to mention the galvanis I really love the industrial faiths how they worship the old Titans of Industry literally just like Carnegie Rock Feller people like that and that they worship industry itself I honestly feel like in other media they would sort of be maybe the bad guys but they're sort of like if the Brotherhood of Steel was good and wanted to use technology to rebuild the world and make it better than it was pre event and it's just an interesting Prospect to me plus you know you can't go wrong over here in the Rust Belt there's a lot of potential I also love the variation of the industrial faiths like over here you have the Promethean Cults and they sort of believe themselves to be Titan Kings or they're trying to achieve the status of Titan Kings so if you want wanted to be a industrialist that's sort of like seeking a lot of power seeking to make themselves as strong as possible and be woried basically here on Earth there you go you can play as one of the Promethean Cults which I think there's only maybe this one and one other but you could take over all of Michigan and then start your journey on constructing the steel belt Empire since we're nearby I obviously have to talk about Constantine of Bruce of house sodi he has probably the most elaborate I don't know when this is going to be topped probably the most elaborate event chain in the game it's not very long but it is very good I've already featured it here on the channel if you do want to see that but I think it's something that you should experience it for itself because obviously it has different endings and different scenarios that you can alter and you know do to your heart's content but he's he's a cool character he was from a mod from ck2 so not from the ck2 mod he was from a sub mod became a fan favorite was ported over here to ck3 and is now officially in the game so definitely recommend trying a Constantine run he has a lot of options plus because he's a Viking culture you get to raid all up in here and it's quite lucrative so if you like playing as a Viking in base ck3 this might be a good option for you I'm not going to spend too much more time over here in the Northeast just because I do want to try to jump around a little bit but I'm going to focus on a two americanist which is basically going to be the presidency which can be anybody as long as you as you're big enough but specifically I want to focus on thus of New York because these people basically want to try and restore I believe it's the kingdom of Gotham if I'm not mistaken yeah the kingdom of Gotham which is I mean come on is dope and I'm pretty sure Chad the ofelt is in Cannon or in Lord like he us uses a baseball bat to kill people and he also wears like s Sweet plate armor so that's that's really dumb um but I I just like the idea of like you basically trying to rebuild this Gotham or Gotham Kingdom and then hold it you know from these like sort of hostile faiths that are around there because I think they're the only americanist Faith that's kind of in this region in this area where they're trying to reestablish themselves after you know a lot of a lot of time being away inversely if you don't want to play as the americanist you could also try and play as the holy Colombian Commonwealth now they are already huge so there is that sort of well do I want to be that strong but there's a lot of history between the two um the presidency has fought two Wars against them one of them ended sort of in a stalemate the other one they ended up burning Atlanta sort of like what happened in the Civil War so if you want something to have like a historical enemy you could play as either ones and have a good time I'm going to jump a little further south and now I've done one where I played as the house of mouse in a Florida run I'm going to recommend Captain Jose Gaspar so there is a big Legacy of pirate things in Tampa in the Tampa Bay area and as you can see Tampa's over here so I think it'd be cool to play a sort of like a pirate culture here in Florida and to take over Florida for the for this pirate culture you have all of this Caribbean to raid and you know do as you will now you're going to have to contend with another person on this list but it is something that's different obviously the Mickey Mouse House the imaginari and American is Faith it's cool it's funny I would obviously recommend that but if you wanted something that was a little different maybe a little bit harder because you do have to contend with the fact that you have a Lee that you're going to have to take over who is also a different Faith from you so sort of sort of something more intriguing if you like that moving over to the PLS of what is basically I guess the northern us Southern Canada we have the sorians who I just had a video about these so you're probably familiar with them but they basically worship ancient dinosaur lizard people and they're also cannibals and they also allow themselves to be possessed by the Spirit of these lizard people and then they think they can communicate with them it's very cool I believe this is the only spot that they exist in game so you could essentially try to create a kingdom for them it is a little difficult just because you have a lot of hostile Faith surrounding you I believe all of them are different but if you wanted something that was maybe a little bit of a harder start sort of playing against different hostile Fates I I think this one's a good option plus it's super unique I mean there's not many lizard there are a couple lizard worshiping religions but this one is probably my favorite next one I'm going to recommend is over here in Portlandia and this is house Freeland now for house Freeland actually used to control if I'm not mistaken it might have even been the Empire of Cascadia long ago but their family sort of fell out of power sort of like another one over here that I wanted to mention but I'm not going to because I think I said too much for the East Coast so I'll let you find that one for yourself but if you wanted another family that's sort of like kind of like how house beaten took over from another family if you wanted to retake something over here in the west coast I would definitely recommend the freelanders they worship a guyan faith so they're sort of like very naturalist sort kind of kind of not not hippie-ish because there is a hippie faith in game but like definitely more grounded Earthly you know druidic in a way so it's it's cool they start off pretty small so you have a lot of room to grow a lot of room to do things versus other ones which maybe you start a little bit big keeping in line with this if you do want to start a little big the Mormons and after the end have literally made somebody convert it is probably the most popular thing on the Reddit probably the most popular thing that has ever come out of this mod somebody converted to Mormonism because of this mod so maybe you should play as the Mormons I don't know maybe you'll find your calling that's all I'm going to say I don't actually know anything about them and I've never played them nor do I plan to but I think that's really interesting I'm going to go a little bit South here so these people worship aliens that is that is basically what they do they created humankind by splicing DNA with an ape and their own and that's how they made people this is what they believe and this is Gilgamesh the Magnificent of gila or hila I'm not exactly sure I think it's hila and I I have nothing else to say he's top of the world is his house dude is absolutely strutten out here I have no I don't know anything about him but I already know he's probably cooler than everybody else in this area so you should definitely plays him so in California you have a unique Golden Empire and you also have unique bureaucracies so there's different governator that exist here in California and I would recommend playing as one of those because you're going to get the chance to sort of have like a sort of like a byzantin is experience here and after the end but I guess over here on the West Coast now the main faith is this sort of Guru IST kind of Buddhist like very peace and love free will sort of you know thing that they got going on it's a mixture of a lot of different things it's actually a pretty funny faith if you if you read into it but it also is kind of scary at times I I think that playing over here in California could be very fruitful depending on what you want to do you could also play as one of the garist who are an athletic faith and they sort of worship like the waves and they worship Mary Jane as you can see so the game is very aware of its joke it's quite tongue and cheek a lot of the time and it doesn't take itself too seriously but as I'm sure you're already getting a feel for as we're progressing through this video the faiths are the biggest part of it if you want to play as I'm just going to click a random one if you want to play as an inter Ranger which I don't even know what that is an inter Ranger believes that even after death a person does not leave the trail a person's spirit will continue to Traverse the trails even after death carrying on the memories of their past lives with them a walk back and forth between the range and the frontier for this reason there's a greater focus on community and shared solidarity in the face of the difficulty a face with most other Trail Walkers so they're Trail Walker Faith which there's a bunch of those over here pretty much anywhere you click you're probably going to see a different faith and that's kind of the beauty of this mod and I'm not I'm not done yet I just wanted to throw that out there while we're while we're still you know young I just wanted to to mention that there's a lot of options here for you so if you don't like a faith it's sort of like the weather you just sort of Click around until you find something you like down here in Mexico there's a lot you could pick this guy's pretty where is he this guy is really cool so luk karacha he was basically like a I don't even know how you would describe this he's like a super strong leader who sort of held a bunch of loose tribes together from what I understand but he's facing death and he has a very young Heir he's only three years old so you sort of have like some this real bad situation to contend with that is quite rapidly approaching and I think that that would be kind of fun to try to overcome the chaos of it or again and I've mentioned this in my after the end video you have the kingdom and you have the Empire of Mexico you have the chero and you have the alen and both of those have their own motivations and goals I personally would probably choose the Empire because I believe this one is the one with the unbroken line all the way back to uh fena Dall unbroken in air quotes but it's cool that they both believe themselves to be the true Heirs of Mexico obviously they're both they're also quite small relative to the size of Mexico but you can you can expand as you will or you could play as these like Day of the Dead sombus faiths there's there's a bunch of stuff down here here in Mexico that you can choose I mean as you can see it's it's totally broken apart coming down here into the Caribbean or the West Indies as as this character says Queen pora is probably the most important character down here in the Caribbean because her goal is to take it over and make an empire for herself down here and is most likely if I had to be honest with you the one capable of doing that so if you want to be a strong character and create an empire that has not been seen before because there's only a set amount of them in the game there's not actually that many the strongest being Brazil if you want to be the strongest Empire that's Brazil so there you go I'm not even going to I'm just going to throw that out there right now but if you want to play as one who's like on the cusp of greatness that would be Queen Portilla of the West Indies she's Brave she's ambitious and she's arrogant which is a sin to her faith but it is something that's really cool and I also just think that again this is like a wide open area you have a lot of options once you've already established yourself you could start rolling into Florida you could go south you could go west it's really up to you I I like the variety of this sort of playthrough coming down here into South America you have the wiia family from Gabrielle Garcia marquez's 100 Years of Solitude a fantastic novel and also a really fun nod to sort of like this real life contemporary thing you can play as Speaker Arcadia II and try in what I would imagine and it would be quite difficult try to reestablish uh Grand Colombia which I think you also get an option to combine Venezuela and Colombia as well if you if you can this would be a really long-term playthrough and I have messed with this a little bit and it is not easy to play as the bo is but I do like that they put them in the game and that they sort of have this you know this Legacy and this this potential here so coming down here into South America even further I want to mention because I know a lot of people have they have their own opinions about the digital faiths I really like the digital faiths and I wish I wish I could pull this up more for you but there's a couple of them that exist in the game this one I believe if I'm not mistaken warship um so they they take medicinal drugs or like sacramental herbs and then become cybernetico where they believe that they can access the Cino and sort of predict the future which is really cool they basically all these faiths are based around you know the early internet that that existed before the fall sometime around the year 2000 the late 90s and it's just cool they're hidden throughout the world they're not very big I think some are in California I think some are over here as well but if you can find them and play as them it could be an interesting playthrough I believe one of them is a cult of witches if I'm not misremembering these ones worship like I said the um the herbs and then I can't recall what the other one is but I'm pretty sure there's three but just something cool to check out if you want to down here in the Falklands you have a Cool Wave ruler Faith which is basically the remnants of like the British they are they they sort of worship the idea that there was this civilization that spanned the entirety of the sea that the Sun never set on if this is I'm pretty sure this is what they worship they like they believe that they've been cut off from the Heavenly aisle and they kind of want to if I'm not mistaken they kind of want a conquest they have terror of the Seas yeah they raid and they also have a reverence for shorelines so they get bonuses as long as you're on the shore and I think that's really cool these were added if I'm not mistaken fairly recently they might have even been added with the release so a cool new Faith to try out down here and I believe yeah all these people over here in the what is this yeah in the Falklands are have access to that Faith so something to try out if you you know just want to play as a British person so something I haven't touched on there's a lot of indigenous cultures and faiths that also exist in the game and they are everywhere so it's not specifically one that I'm going to pick for you you could play somebody in nvic you could play somebody in Alaska there are various indigenous cultures and faiths that are pretty unique not not because they're unique to after the end but it's Unique that they're being presented in a game that's something that's not us that doesn't usually showcase them so if you're interested in trying something out that you're maybe not familiar with you might not necessarily learn something but you might gain a greater appreciation for somebody else's culture plus it could just be cool I mean this is a beautiful image and you have some really wonderful assets if you play as one of the indigenous cultures I forgot to mention the OM tellers they're more like the Appalachians uh not the occultist the occultists are more like like I said the further further Northeast Appalachians it's a little bit of a different culture but if you are Appalachian and you wanted to see yourself represented they are here in the game the elen tellers are quite cool this guy only has one trait that's really odd maybe play as him and see what you can do with that but you know there you go and I think that's where I'm going to leave it um again there's so much to this mod it would be impossible for me to tell you a million different ones and as always somebody in the comments is going to say oh I have this favorite character that you should try I have this place that I love to play as and then you should and you should definitely listen to them like people have played this mod far more than me I didn't even mention the mahic over here and they're they're a cool house sort of like the one over here in Cascadia but there's just there's just too many for me to be like oh yeah you should play as this or you should play as that really what this video aims to do is to sort of get you interested in the various regions and as you play in those regions you'll discover new faiths new cultures new things that you like about the mod because it is diverse and you'll be able to find what you enjoy better than if I just tell you to play there but I hope this video was useful I know the mod just came out and for a lot of you this might be your first exposure to it so I hope that it's helpful and that's going to be for me so thank you guys so much for watching I'm Soul this has been interesting starts and after the end I will happily see you in the next one [Music] h
