Man props to you for finally being able to make a guide for this
The discord did a lot of theorycrafting on this one!
Thank you BitterSteel. With this guide, I can finally avenge my failed Persian Empire run without using any cheat.
The King of Kings rules from the Subcontinent to the Dalmatian coast
@@Bitt3rSteel U don't know how I love u after this word
For those unaware (as I was until very recently) duplicating airwings while at 0 manpower summons humans from the underworld so conscription laws are somewhat irrelevant if you have planes in stockpiles and patience
Perfectly done !
*Cyrus the great is proud of you*
Although you forget Pakistan & parts of India & Turkmenistan & Uzbekistan & Tajikistan &...... (ah lord it's so difficult,,,,,,, *basically any country that ends with istan was a part of the Persian empire* )
Fun fact : in Persian *Istan* apparently means *province* looool (I love ancient Persians !!!! Just naming half the countries in the world as *provinces of smt* lmfao )
His objective wasn't creating the historical empire, just getting the territories needed for the decision
As a persian , I believe you meant *Ostan* and not *Istan* cuz i would be mad at you if you think that's what it is
@@AradSabet In middle Persian ostan was istan apparently...
That's why you don't hear "Kazakhostan" , "Pakostan" or "Turkmenostan" etc. Lol
@@ryansmith8345 that's crazy
But i used to live in northern iran and gilaki language was just a meme language to me
As a proud Persian I respect you sir.
Feel free to visit Iran anytime I will welcome you and show you around💙👍
0:03 IRAN MAN MODE ON
As an iranian, i freakin love this.
Also you're pronunciation was very funny
Your*
آیرَن💀
as a persian person i really enjoyed this video :)
منم از این ویدیو لذت بردم
Your not Persian
@@bigmatthews666how do you know?
I'm also persian
@@AradSabet no you are not.
@@bigmatthews666 oh well
Everybody in my city know I'm persian
hey at the beginning you can just send land lease to spain with all your equipment and fire the civil war, then cancel the landlease and you gain all your equipment must easier
The funny thing is that he’s used that exploit in past videos.
So he must have forgotten it lol.
Maybe...
@@Bitt3rSteel I just watched your HRE video from last year. A day before you finished overthrow hitler, you sent the largest amount of equipment you could to Spain. Then surprise you get it back when you cancel after the war starts.
Seems like a useful little trick. Saves PP if nothing else, since you seemed to be having difficulty getting enough of it when you wanted it this video.
@@andyruse4670 thats cuz hes was fascist
non aligned can't send land lease with no world tension, iirc it's 40 wt for NA and 50 for democracies
Thank you for building the great Persian Empire🇮🇷❤❤
Wow found you like a 2 weeks ago and thanks to you i got pretty better at hoi4
love your work
just found your channel and now i can be less confused about this game . love from iran
Sorry Bulgaria, it was just business
Nothing personal, kid
From where you’re sitting this must look like a 14-carot run of bad luck. But truth is, the faction was rigged from the start
You should do the bringing the band back together achievement run guide.
There's not really a good way to reliably do it. It all relies on restarting untill Germany goes empire or Hungary goes AH
@@Bitt3rSteel Does AI Germany even goes the Kaiser path?
@@czechpatriot2230 Only on ahystorical
@@Bitt3rSteel Actually, in order to do this you only need Austria Hungary to form, and you can ensure this by taking the "press the austro hungarian claim" foucus and just wait. As long as Austria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary all exist, this will be possible. As for Germany, you can just puppet them if you need to.
@@charlieslegs9487 Well obviously that's what I ment. I have never seen AI take that path.
Very tough to do on the current patch - turkey joined axis - the pain....
18:02 If anyone wants to try out the naval focus one, you need to make sure that the state that those dockyards appear in is in your control when civil war breaks out. If not, non aligned Iran would delete those dockyards for building slots.
that's insane that ai would be allowed to delete ANYTHING in a civil war. Disgusting
Yeah paradox really has some questionable design choices
Late to the party, but there's sometimes a trick with those focuses. I don't know about the generic tree, but the South African tree for sure changes the location of the added factories if you don't control the provinces it normally lists. But that isn't the case in the United States if you are in a civil war where California secedes. The focus still lists California for dockyards.
16:00 Can't you, at this point, cancel your justification and start it from scratch?
That should give you more time, and you can check whether they already have the new guy or not
Probably, I felt comfortable going forward
Honestly good thing he didn't, he showed how winnable the war is even with an earlier war
“Start aggressively walking” such powerful words
Props for doing an Iran vid without butchering every single word like most paradox youtubers. Also really digging the background music, is then name to be found somewhere? Subscribed and looking forward to more like this.
I'm an Iranian and I love this video so much, thank you for playing with Iran. ❤❤
Woah, dream comes true! Best of the best!
Great video as always. I've been enjoying the disaster saves and these challenges. Have you thought about doing longer role-playing campaigns with Kaiserreich?
Now THIS is beautiful
Heck yeah, I knew that footage was you forming Persia.
Challenge idea; Restore the Incan Empire and exact revenge on Spain as Peru without joining the Axis. Alternatively, can form the Gran Columbia and just annex Incan lands in other countries.
I hate when I find your guides too late and the game has already updated to where the guide is obsolete
Hi, I'm from Iran and I wanted to say that Iran was at its greatest in 300 BC. If you search Achaemenid Empire on Google, you will understand that Iran is almost the oldest country on earth. And it flowed from the part of Central Asia except Kazakhstan to the middle of India and Greece to Egypt, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia. And Iran means the land of Aryans. Thank you for reading this comment.
lol what are you talking about
34:12 Okay, I didn't know about that trick yet.
That's NEAT!!
I never understood why foreigners always refer to Persia when they want to say the name of Iran, which is the name of Iran Iran, which means Aryan land and is composed of different ethnic groups, one of which is also called Pars.
Yes in iran we have different ethnic gropus and different languages not only persians they should call it iran
@@arash1408 سلام
Palpatine: Well done. Now, Bitt3rSteel. Go and bring peace, to the Persian Empire!
Well well well look who it is, Mr Steel back again with another guide. Well played sir well played
34:49. Passing up a free research slot for one 100% infantry bonus 😹
Takes 70 days to complete and cancels when not at war. planned to end the war in less than 70 days.
"Ope you don't own Sudan looks like we won't recognize you as Persia despite the fact you own over 95% of the clay if historical Persia"
my advice - ALWAYS ask for convoys in your lend-lease begging operation. all of them will give 30 convoys per tick
I love the faction kicking trick. It’s out I nab the balkans for a Byzantium run. You get Romania to annex Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. And then all their spare manpower and guns are tied up in garrisons. You can do some quick encirclements and kill them so fast.
how do you get them into your faction?
If you don't wanna deal with the funky exploit with borders in vichy france, you can simply declare on france while they are fighting germany, so you get the levant before vichy france gets formed, then push through the suez and wait for italy to lose its territory in libya. The only potential problem you might run into is taking cyprus, but if you've been building aircraft, you'll be able to acheive air superiority, and thus paradrop onto the island. Alternatively, if you take the rest of north africa, and greece gets capitulated, the allies no longer have any ports in range of cyprus, so naval superiority becomes much easier to achieve. If their fleet gets stuck in the mediterranean, you can just damage them, and then port strike them as they try to repair in cyprus (they will also be out of supply if they put fleets in port, because their convoys can't reach cyprus).
Still, I'm glad i watched this guide, as i learned some new things that make this campaign easier and less tedious for me in two ways: I now know of a way to capitulate romania without involving the axis, and i also don't have to fight italy to be able to form persia (because i didn't know about the mechanic with military access, involving occupation).
Italy, in particular, was a massive thorn in my side, since i would have to go to war with them prematurely, so as to prevent them from joining the axis, as i would eventually need to go to war with them for the dodecanese, and the "libya" region.
Goes from ~200k manpower to 4.1 mil manpower.... Imagine the possibilities. Imagine. Also goes from 158 factories to 191. I love how coring something in HOI4 is insanely OP.
Man, I’m new here but I’m absolutely loving it!! Great UA-camr!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Hey man I'm an Iranian
Just wanted to say thank you for caring about our ancient empire ❤
You are amazing Bittersteel, you have time to do this content, and good content as well! I’m a big fan of yours and great video!!!!
If you could how’s about Italy to Rome?
Glad you enjoy it! I've done Italy to Rome before, that video is up on the channel! I am/was planning a speedrun video for Rome in 36, but i got a lot of nasty comments about it and I've put it on hold
really preferred your guides with period music. I just want to listen to allied radio when i watch ur guides lol
Thank you for restoring our old great empire ❤
masah amini is my wife
You were great dude i'm persian and i proud of you⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤝
All of these walkthroughs gives me the desire to buy the game, once it's on sale, I'm buying everything.
It's really fun,but the learning curve is steep
@@Bitt3rSteel If it's fun, then I have time to learn how to play the game.
There's so many interesting possibilities in HoI4, I just can't not play the game.
just to say
this video summoned entire iranian gaming community to come to hoi4
ur a legend
from itan
This is one of the coolest HOI4 videos I have ever seen :)
Bitt3r troops every vid: **walks aggressively**

Great video, and as an Iranian find your pronunciation so funny 😂❤
Thanks for picking Iran 😊 🇮🇷
Thank you for teaching me how to turn my country into a nationalist/facsist devil and conquere the world and prove humanity was wrong in a videogame >:DDD😂🌍🌎❤️
Thank u i realy wanted ti see this.
Fun Fact. The name the Sassanids gave to their empire is Iranshahr! Best to have called it that. Tho idk why you did the civil war lol.
Oh man, what you did with Bulgaria was genius LOL

I dunno BitterSteel, I don't really dig that "Feedback Gaming style" of editing. Love your content, but I'm not convinced about new changes.
Fair comment. Just trying to keep the video flowing.
@@Bitt3rSteel I like it, feels good - I also really like that you're cutting back on the spongebob transitions. They are really jarring and often take you right out of the vid (because of music in those clips, volume difference, etc)
New bittersteel video got me breathing like a dog.
Great work love these videos!
Excellent video and great content but I want to pose you a question. Is it possible to recreate the Persian Empire with non-aligned Persia ? Why ? Because the Persian Empire flag's is so beautiful.
Yes, I know, I love flag
In theory, yes. In practice....no, you will be too slow to declare war and you'll miss out on some vital timings
@@Bitt3rSteel yes... I have discovered that myself in my many attempts... thank for the answer anyway 😉
Me: I can't pick this guy's accent
Bitt3rSteel: "Aloominum"
Me: I see
Whew
@@Bitt3rSteel Honestly, you sound American, continental European and English all in one sentence sometimes! A man of the world clearly. Keep the vids coming!
nice man ♥🇮🇷
Cyrus the great would be proud
Of course I get that ONE game, where Italy actually wins in North Africa and much of Africa in general, because the Brits just after having them on the brink of collapse (one more tile to cut off their troops and finish them), decide to pull 90% of their North Africa troops away to station them at my border...
It took me near 20 tries to complete this challenge
Challenge: northern Light achievement but no attacking, you have to make 3 other nordic states to join your faction on their own
That's pretty much impossible. None of the nordic countries are willing to join unless they're in a common war with you and even then they tend to prefer joining the allies instead and Finland tends to join the axis because it's the soviets attacking who usually also fight the germans.
I just don't see it happening.
When you are going to form the roman empire in 1936???
Exzellent Video, very well done but will you be making achievment guides again? Your achievment Videos are simply the best.
That's the plan! Once the new DLC hits!
why did you run?
get it? because of iran.
gotem
Actually we Iranians pronounce it Eran its so funny when I see Americans call it I run
@@generalbkkg1684 *I-ran* not *I-run*
We're not idiots my man looool
Our language just doesn't support the perfect pronunciation of the words ! *it's how it is*
Love to your people in *E-run* :)
Great vid, really like your strategies.
Thanks you!
32:11 cit Donald Rumsfeld.
As a Persian Iam really proud my mate❤
Just because you need guns doesn’t mean you need to MAKE those guns
Nice intro very sleek
I always had difficulties playing this game but thanks to you I can stand on my own against him bullies
As an Iranian, I approve of this video 👍
منم همینطور😁
ولی من نه چرا؟😐
چون شبیش نبود
منم همینطور
Hahaha, that final moment, where your manpower jumps from 239k to 4.21M.
Oh, my, .... Allah? xD
Notice where they’re invading at 41:07, it’s gallipolli
I-Ran, i thought u run (😂🤣)
I was considering doing this.Now i’m gonna do
Ey iran
That was glorious
Is it even possible to form the persian empire any more? Would have to wait for tension to go to 50, 70 for lend lease
Don’t know, trying it right now. However, these are things you can’t do anymore, for one you can’t use a paratroopers to invade Vichy France through your allies’ territories anymore because they are neutral. You can try naval invasion but that is completely a luck based maneuver. And the Vichy French Fleet which is at least four times larger than yours and will be patrolling the Mediterranean. Next the lend lease strategy is dead so build up your military industry as a first priority you will be lacking guns for the entire game. Also your construction priorities when you first start a new game is to build one military factory, one airfield on the state bordering Turkey, railway link your ports to the rest of the rail network, and build forts on your Iraq border (specifically places where the Iraq army can attack in three directions). The civil war will erase any construction your on so don’t try to build another factory after the one military factory at the start of the game and no naval base or supply hub. Also follow the directions in this video when preparing for the civil war. Don’t prolong your civil war preparations, the name of game is speed and siphoning your equipment only works twice so the longer you wait the more difficult the civil war will be. Don’t click on the recovery from civil war decision, it’s not necessary nor helpful as it completely stunts your political power and you need that as much as military experience and infantry equipment for this run. After the Iraq war, you’re going to need an army of 36 divisions to defeat Turkey, also research and deploy four 12 width mountaineers. For the Turkish war you’re gonna have to draw them into your country and encircle them twice. Not once, not thrice but twice so you can have an easy time invading Asia Minor. Now, with the war with Romania let the Bulgarians retreat further into their country and let the Romanians cross the river but don’t let Bulgaria capitulate. You can’t kick them out of your faction after they capitulate anymore. So just work with the Bulgarian to encircle and destroy the Romanian army and you’ll have an easy time invading Romania proper. Also increase your average division width from 12 to 18 to make them stronger and capable of fighting the more equipped Romanian Army. Be sure to defeat Romania before the Second Vienna Award because after Romania gives up Northern Transylvania they’ll join the Axis and call them into the war. This happens at the end of May 1940 so you have until then to win the civil war, the Iraq War, the Turkish War, and Romanian War. After all that I don’t know what to do, figuring that part out now.

I dream to be this good in HoI4....
Still glaring over my failed F!DEI/INAOrder runs.
Just a thought for a challenge, try making the most cursed British Raj satellite (Corsican raj?)
No Raj Raj possible?
@@Bitt3rSteel makes me wonder if anarchist Spain raj is cursed
@@Bitt3rSteel confederate quing raj. I win.
Pakistani Raj
I doubt it's possible since I believe India needs independence for Pakistan cores to exist and Pakistan is part of the Raj territory but that's as cursed as it gets

My first name is Shahmeer, which means king of leaders lol
I just kinda attacked iraq,saudi arabia,afghanistan,turkey then declared war on britain with 14 4’s and 10’s(full infantry) researched infantry artlillery decryption and planes and paratroopers and that did it for me,allthough could’ve been better if the ussr held back the germans at leqst a little bit,they got completely stomped but it is what it is
I m Persian and tank you for this video
Bitt3r: You know how Americans are, annoying.
Me, an American: *Yes.*
I was just playing Iran in a multiplayer game!
Ah yes, get rid of the army cuz you dont need it
ty man.good gameplay
As an American I like how you say Afghanistan is easy...
A defensive field marshall would be great!
