Yeah it’s actually mind blowing how some people think viewers will watch 3 episodes of 2 hour and 20 minute each tutorials. Bro it’s like spending almost 1/3 of my day watching those
This is just a guess, but I think that they want to teach you how to play at an intermediate level, instead of allowing you to have the fun of learning the game yourself. They also might be trying to teach you too much technical stuff
man I'm finding it really hard to get into this game, I really want to play it though. I went to play Total War Rome 2 not too long ago and struggled with that one too
I love you, the only person on this damned internet to give a short, concise, useful tutorial that isn't filled with 30 minutes of filler garbage and actually tells you the very very very basics on how to play the game. 10/10, would learn again
Thank you so much. This was really informative and straight to the point. In my first game, after watching a 30 minute tutorial full of gibberish, I literally lost as Germany to Austria. Keep doing what your doing, and again, thank you.
when i started playing hoi4 I was ready to give up before i even started cause of how confusing it looks, but when you actually play it : its very easy and im suprised how a completely confusing game at cover can be easily taught in under 10 minutes, bravo.
One of the best yt tutorials for a game I’ve ever seen. I had no idea how to even preform a basic attack and all the other ones where 40 mins +. INSTANT LIKE 👍. U deserve more subs
this is one of the best tutorials out there instead of spending 10 minutes talking about the difrent nations you jump straight into the point and make the videos shorter and easier to understand
i was having problems with the basics of how to control navy and air units, this was short and really helpful, i am glad that i didn't have to watch any of those 2 hour tutorial vids respect my dude
Its been a month and a half since i watched this tutorial. I didnt know anything besides building civilian factories, this tutorial helped me a lot, i got 230+ hours in total now and i improved a lot… thanks Edit:500 hours
I LOVE YOU THIS VIDEO IS WHAT I NEEDED!!! I swear do other srsly think Im gonna spend 5 hours learning how to play a game?? no way, i wanna get straight into the action and learn myself. You are a legend sir!!
Thank you!! I've been looking at how to do naval invasions for over a week and every video is like over an hour long! Literally made perfect sense in 5 mins
oh my god mate, this is the most and only useful hoi4 tutorial ever, the last video i watched was 35 mins but i couldnt understand how to form a frontline and do the other shit, thank you.
Thanks for this video! I had a lot of trouble with naval combat since the tutorial is horribly executed and all of the other videos were way to in depth for me which only just confused me
thank you so much for this short tutorial,when i download hoi4 i always end up uninstalling it because of how confusing it is and i didnt have time to watch a whole series with 10 parts so this 5 minute tutorial really helped me,again thank you so much :D
Thank you. I bought Hearts of Iron IV years ago, and I couldn't understand a single thing with way too many buttons on the main screen. I might give this another try.
Thank you so much for this video, when I just got hoi4 I was stuck and didn't know how to do anything, and considered refunding the game. Then I saw this video and it jumpstarted me and I eventually learned more by myself after this video. Now I have 850 hours. Thank you so much.
I wish videos like this existed for any complicated game. I've gotten into grand strategy originally watching let's plays (thanks Quill!), same with Dwarf Fortress and Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead or some roguelikes.. but it took many hours of footage to do that. And after some time you just forget how to play them (DF/CDDA), and so you have to re-watch tutorials to re-learn how to play because going in raw gets you incredibly frustrated since you don't know how to do so many things. It's why even though I enjoy some of these games, I rarely ever play them. If there were always short videos like this to refresh memory or start playing a complicated game, things wouldn't be nearly as bad.
Yeah sometimes you a short straight to the point video, although other times you need those super long ones for more in-depth guides. Happy to see the video helped! - Caleb
In less than 5 minutes I learned how to actually fight people, this was really helpful and at first I thought it would be bad, you certainly proved me wrong.
The tutorials i've been seeing on youtube really pushed me away from getting this game, BUT THIS VIDEO EXPLAINED IT IN 5 MINUTES. AMAZING 10/10 (this video is perfect for me because i have ADHD and i cant sit and watch a tutorial for 1 hour)
I cannot Thank You enough i Watch a 1 Hour video voor beginners but it didn't tell me the basic only Advanced stuf I didn't know how to move planes around or warships or anything in this video thank you very much now I just need to find out What All those things are like how do i fix insufficient Resources I have this for the whole game😅
thanks man I watched an hour long video and didnt know this, I have been playing for a couple hours and didnt know how to attack I was just building in germany but italy does look like a good starter country because I'll actually learn combat without waiting years
Because of this guide I just beat the British for the first time on regular iron mode after 300 hours and all I had to do was select strike force and invade from Dieppe to Dover, all because of this 5 minute guide 🤦♂️ sometimes simplicity is all it takes
Probably because the length and boring nature of the tutorials make you forget everything IN the tutorial. It's better to watch a bunch of small tutorials over time.
This is the only tutorial that doesnt talk about focus trees and very advanced stuff for 30 minutes like im gonna remember it and that its gonna help me when i dont know how to even move a solider
Select _all_ troops (including those in Italy) and add them to an army to attack Ethiopia from the north. Select half of that army and move them to a separate army to attack from the south. Set all armies to "aggressive" rather than balanced. They will automatically do as needed to move to their positions, even across continents. Select airplanes and move them to airbase near Ethiopia too, evenly between the two airbase, and have them support the troops on the ground.
I was looking at other tutorials and one was like an hour and 30 minutes long lmao so thank you for this short tutorial so I can get a footing and learn how to get better through my own experience
I swear I’ve been trying to find a guide that isn’t the length of a documentary. Don’t get why people think they need to have some”in depth tutorial” for a video game. Just tell me the basics and I can figure out the rest.
Thanks for a quick introduction tutorial for this game. Just started it yesterday and completely overwhelmed lol. How long did it take you for fully learn the game?
Haven’t even come close to fully understanding it but be prepared to dump hours and hours into the game. I have some friends with over 1k hours in the game.
If I could Triple like this video I would I just wanna Say what everyone else has been saying and THANK YOU AN ACTUALLY SHORT AND SWEET VIDEO THANK YOU!!!
Very useful, apart from that I'm not playing Italy. So half the video is useless XD though I guess it'll become a lot more useful if and when I enter a war.
i really like to just unlock all at the beginning and play any country and just destroy everyone its really fun. have been doing this for like 100hours already

TY for being short and concise. Dont get how so many creators think a beginner is going to watch hours before playing.....
Thank you, I'm happy the short format worked out! - Caleb
Yeah just want to learn the basics so I can start playing. Can figure out the rest myself.
@@CuboldGaming Same, Others are over an hour but this was very short and helpful
Yeah it’s actually mind blowing how some people think viewers will watch 3 episodes of 2 hour and 20 minute each tutorials. Bro it’s like spending almost 1/3 of my day watching those
Can't imagine how many people would turned off the idea of playing the game just by peeking the durations of others HOI4 tutorial. Until now
Tutorials for this game are either two hours long or an entire 6 part series, Thanks for making this incredibly quick and easy to digest.
Man face
This is just a guess, but I think that they want to teach you how to play at an intermediate level, instead of allowing you to have the fun of learning the game yourself. They also might be trying to teach you too much technical stuff
@@imEden0you shouldn’t call it a beginner guide if its meant for intermediate players and not for beginners
@@kulesama3185 it isn’t for intermediate
man I'm finding it really hard to get into this game, I really want to play it though. I went to play Total War Rome 2 not too long ago and struggled with that one too
Finally A TUTORIAL THAT Actually TELLS ME HOW TO ATTACK thank you kind sir.

Dude, MEGA LIKE!! Super useful and short. 11/10
Glad I was able to help! - Caleb
Just got the game and this was perfect to start. All the options and menus are so overwhelming
I like how quick he is and how he doesn’t waste time. This is probably the best tutorial under ten minutes, or heck, the best tutorial period.
Its been a month and a half since i watched this tutorial. I didnt know anything besides building civilian factories, this tutorial helped me a lot, i got 230+ hours in total now and i improved a lot… thanks

Your HOI4 tutorial was concise and easy to follow. Your expertise and clear explanations are much appreciated.

Yeah I've thought about it, I may just have to do that! - Caleb

This helped so much. Thank you for explaining so much in 5 minutes. Today you have gained a new sub.
Thank you so much! I know how to do a lot more and I can understand better! I would recommend to friends, but a have no friends who play HOI4.
This is a great primer video without going into too much detail. Nice 👍
Brilliant and to the point guide, basics of the game, but the most important when going to war.

And hopefully you will get hundreds of thousand of views and subscribers
Thank you! Glad the video was helpful - Caleb
This helped me more then the stupid tutorial made by the official hearts of iron channel. I think i can finally defeat Ethiopia once and for all
Thanks for not making this an essay, great content. :)
Congrats u got a new sub! Great video

thanks for making a very short guide, i played for 8h but i lacked some knowledge of the ui basics u covered
You're welcome!
Finally a hoi4 youtuber that doesnt do 40 minutes of A TUTORIALL like thanks finally i will not struggle
i still dont understand
This dude is a walking wiki page he explained an entire complicated game in 5min
So is it turn-based, or time? How does time stop and start? These simple things I wonder about
bro i cant even defeat ethiopia
This game is unfair 😤
I download super poland mod and poland just conquered germany in 5 days💀💀💀💀💀
What are the using in war……..rocks? Fly armies? Seems rough.
Select _all_ troops (including those in Italy) and add them to an army to attack Ethiopia from the north. Select half of that army and move them to a separate army to attack from the south. Set all armies to "aggressive" rather than balanced. They will automatically do as needed to move to their positions, even across continents.
