My Warsaw didn’t become capital again :(

Outdated

If you puppeted romania and part of Yugoslavia in territories you won't core they would do more of the shared focuses

DLC's aesthetic just feels tacky to me

I don't like how countries get more and more OP with each DLC. It ruins the fun when you have to capitulate Chile and Brazil as Germany because they turned into major powers, for example. A couple weeks ago I had an ahistorical vanilla game end with Sierra Leone shitting out 30-80 divisions because they went communist and kept getting manpower through the generic focus tree. It also feels pointless when you see thet you have a bunch of OP buffs when you know every other country also gets overtuned to be too powerful as well

The outrage of the community as Paradox continues to delay the 20 dollar Costa Rican focus tree DLC grows larger and larger with each update.

I think the problem your missing and the reason for the power creep, is that most players aren't that good. What seems easy for people with 1000's of hours is hard for beginners, and most people who have the game are beginners, I mean just look at the achievements, I think only something like 20% of players have the achievement for the last industry tech, reaching 1948 and 1k convoy's. To me them doing this makes a lot of sense, although I do hope they make the AI better, and make actual fun rewarding changes to AI difficulty (instead of just nerfing your own production) as I see this as the route to fix the difficulty level of better players, without in turn making the game functionally unplayable for casual players.

How did you have enough man pwr and mils to make enough tank units?

That whole deal with the naval invasion on Denmark just shows how stupid Paradox system is, either they need to reduce the time for all naval invasions, no matter the unit count, down to 7 days or make a more automatic way to assign naval invasions. It's so dumb that the only difference between 10 single unit naval invasions and a single 10 unit naval invasion is the setup time, the effectiveness is not changed and the quicker choice is so much more needlessly tedious

Granted I stopped playing Hearts of Iron IV in 2021 (since been dipping a little into some of the earlier titles but even then not much). I guess for me, to paraphrase something that Genghis Khan might have said or it was said to (historians disagree) "conquering the world in a tank is easy, getting out of the tank and governing is the hard part" and it seems like you never get out the tank and perhaps some of the challenge could be added from not only conquering required regions but then also having mechanics to economically and or culturally winning the people within them over to the idea of the formable and this could even be used to fully assimilate provinces in order that they no longer need garrisons to be maintained since they see themselves as part of your people and or align with your people or perhaps its more of an alliance (be that ideological, regional or defensive). While Road to 56 had laws which worked something like this there is so much more which could be done.

The correct way to pronounce the ş and ç letters in Turkish is pretty much just the equivalent of adding a h onto the end of the two letters making a sh- and ch- sound. Just thought I'd mention it after you gave your best shot at pronouncing his name lol

Tannu tuva really made everybody fight each other and then stole their factories 😭💀🙏

Are you a real Ssspider?!?! 😂😂😂😆😆

make sure your warsaw general is spamming last stand if units get low org otherwise they will be deleted (learnt that the hard way and only had 8 divs holding warsaw)

lets look back at trail of allegiance, the most poorly rated DLC added to HOI4, made several countries become completely OP, similar focus tree styles ie just conquer all of south america. The devs still refuse to fix turkey or greece and their bugs with their focus trees like both greece or turkey able to create factions while puppets, leave or join factions at random because their foci dont have a single check in them. No do not think HOI4 is dying, but the devs sure do like to put out DLC after DLC instead of fixing some bugs that have been in the game for literal years. The devs dont care.

This would have been even better if done after the dlc from the eu formable letting you core all of europe

try fleet submarines they can destroy entire fleets and not be detected

When vanilla came out, after you killed a major, minor nations had a tendency to bind together and form super factions to oppose you.

awesome video, next goal wc?

It's was so cute when he hugged Germany

This. Was. AWESOME! It was so nice to watch this during lunch on Christmas Eve. I hope you know how much joy your video's bring. Merry Christmas to you Mr. Spider.

Good job! Can you try monarchist Luxembourg?

not doing mobile warfare with tanks should be a crime ( or at least sup firepower for the org) but what do i know this is the man the mith the legend

Hell yeah. Good ol EU run 😎 truly the only way it'd ever be accomplished lmao

merry Christmas! though I'm buddhist.. doesn't matter

Christmas came early

Was watcuing the live streams this is fucking insane

Im sorry that this is the first comment, but why is the quality a little low😔

1:50 someone needs to make a Hapsburg inbred portraits mod

They declare whenever ngl first the 25th and then the 24th

Since the ai got buffed during gotterdamerung this is no longer easy, or possible question mark-

he sounds like the burger king foot lettuce guy

Congrats on the Katowice pronunciation

I never joined the allies and Warszawa still didn't return to having the capital hub

Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria doesn't have an option to ask for the anti armament treatys be removed in order to defend against a expansionist Germany? Or, for Austria and or Czechoslovakia, to form a alliance with perhaps also Hungary and other former Austro Hungarian empire countries in order to defend themselves against a expansionist Germany?

U shouldve added engineer company into division so they entrench alot more than base entrenchment

I like the new improved austria-hungary focus tree(hungary) but I dislike how they just neglected other parts of hungary. Like they throw a bunch of seemingly important decisions at you like the scythia march on budapest or when you have to choose between Horthy Miklós and Horthy István or when you have to choose between Gömbös and Szálasi. Like it changes literally nothing who you choose, you just get a leader with either a bit better or worse leader traits. This is historically really inaccurate as Gömbösi and Szálasi had a differing view on the F ideology with Gömbösi being closer to Mussolini while Szálasi being closer to the austrian painter. Like at least give a few character specific focuses to those characters, or maybe if you choose Szálasi you can reform the hunnic empire and if you choose Gömbös you can reform Avaria or something. Speaking of formables, why is that hungary can only form austria hungary and greater hungary? Like the F ideology focus tree includes focuses like claiming the legacy of the huns and stuff but its only a national spirit. Why cant we reform some wacky nations like Scythia, Hunnic empire, Avaria or hell even Australia-Hungary?! The Horthy king path is really lacking in content, they could have made it interesting by allowing the player to form Australia-Hungary by trading australia with Britain for an alliance or something like that as Horthy was a huge Anglophile. Kinda sad that they wasted all this potential just to focus on the Austria-Hungary path that is not even unique to hungary anymore.

At this point I'm pretty much missing HoI3, unironically. The funny thing is that most of the DLCs and updates that added new mechanics were just adding to HoI4 what there was already in HoI3 or even HoI2. Espionage, IoCs, Raids, Supply System, Decisions, Raids, Trade... The only new things HoI4 adds is Tank/Ship/Airplane Design, National Foci, viable Alternate History and proper modding support.

HOI4 has lost it’s direction and there’s no way back. Just make HOI5 and pick a direction

My biggest Issue is that several modifiers simply dont work. -Air Superiority Mission Efficiency -Ground Support Mission Efficiency -Naval Strike Mission Efficiency -Air Superiority Bonus in Combat -Ground Attack Factor -Org Loss when Moving As a result certain advisors, doctrines and even National Focusses are completely useless. These Problems existed before Götterdämmerung and still exist now. Even worse, Germanys new focus tree has focusses that give these modifiers that never worked, which makes me think the devs are not even aware. Even though I filed an official bug report and sent an email.

Since the release in 2016, HOI IV has gotten bigger, but not better.

They really fumbled austria hungary. Its way too easy now. Diplomatically gaining yugoslav lands and galicia should not be a thing. Czechoslovakia is a stretch but that was in the old one so ill let it pass. Even transylvania should not be a guarantee. The reward for conquering germany is also a let down. "Greater austria" is a lame name for a union state and "suddeutschland" is even lamer. restoring the HRE was the obvious thing to do. Either as the literal tag or by balcanizing germany into puppets like that napoleon focus. There was also no schizo late game habsburg stuff like reconquering spain and the spanish Empire or balcanizing italy back to post napoleonic war borders. Im shocked to say i think the old hungary into habsburg path was better. The new one trivialised the actual forming of the formable and added nothing to work on after aside from beating germany for a lame reward. Turkey Ottomans was better, and that was a drag.

gonna mention how the devs are assholes regarding fixing strategic bombers?

I really wish there was more weight for your diplomatic actions, like if the ai reacted differently if you as a major helped them instead of being railroaded. In other news this is MUCH better than that one video about how hoi4 is dead😭😭😭

Its stupid because the UK, Japan, and US, 3 of the most important countries, have the worst focus trees.

you've been able to form europe as facist too using oswald mosley.

personally i'm pretty bad at the game so my first austria game was actually pretty challenging, but I do think that britain's AI needs to be reworked

Honestly ever since No Step Back I think the only misstep in the game was Trial of Allegiance's whole weird vibe of samey focuses and awful achievements. If the much needed Pacific update comes in 2025 and is good, I'd consider HOI4 more or less complete and unambiguously the best HOI game, finally fully eclipsing Darkest Hour.

%100 Agree about challange problem. I hated the cheap inclusion of liechstein or hre as well. And EU formables feel really boring too. Belgeum gambling is not fun

Impossible. I've been playing nonstop since the day this DLC came out
