I'm starting to feeling lucky because every time i try to do an achievement and i fail, the next day this guy uploaded the tutorial to it. Fun fact: yesterday i almost smashed the monitor because the British bricks and the French fries guaranteed Sweden at the same time
Invading Finland early is a good idea also because they have that national spirit that gives them extra attack and defence in core territory so if you wait too long, it's going to cost you a lot trying to break those defences. Formable nation idea would be to restore Persia as Iran or Afghanistan :)
Very interesting. I hardly played Scandinavia, just did the achievements back when I hardly knew what I was doing. I feel tempted to revisit, but as Denmark? I thought it was impossible but you did it! Congrats! Next time, with tanks and not 7-2's ;)
Great vid Bitter. I only got Party like it's 1520 because I was three months late attacking Sweden and Germany conquered Norway. Oh well. Only wanted the achievement anyway. Thanks Bitter.
This makes way more sense. What I did was justifyin on Poland, and when Germany also declared I went to war along them and they accepted me into the Axis.... While this happened then I declared on Norway and Sweden and occupied Stockholm by rushing it. Your strategy is more stable because while I got the achivement, the whole situation was a mess hahaha, didn't even finished the war... and could not do Kalmar Union
Gosh, I wish you would complete these campaigns when the vids are as entertaining as they are getting to this point, or at least show us the end-game map: afterall, the Danelaw could stand to be re-established once Nordic socialism lands on British shores...but I totally get avoiding the hastle of the rest of a HOI4 campaign lmao Regardless, can't wait for the next one!
I've been trying off and on for the last few months to form the Nordic Union as Denmark without going to war with the Allies. I got really excited when I saw this video, because the master of HoI4 will show me the best way to do it! And your strategy to form the Union without fighting the Allies is... not even trying doing that. Well. I suppose that's that, then.
Hy, I have a challenge for you, BitterSteel! Name: The last 50 fighters of the RAF. Challenge: in one airzone, at one time, you can have only 50 fighters. The other type of planes are not limited. You need to play as Great Britain, but you can chose any path. The win conditions: if you capitulate Germany or hold it until 1945, you win. There is another possible twist in the challenge, wich one you can chose: play on Hardest dificulty of the base game, or play normal with Expert AI mod, or play total war mod on normal. I recommend these only if you are confident enough that the original challenge is to easy. And 1 more thing. If you lose an airwing, by being 0 planes in ANY fighter airwing, you also lose.
Hey bitt3rsteel you know you could’ve still went communist but still went down the nationalism focus route to get the 7% recruitable pop so your manpower wouldn’t have been as bad btw love your vids :)
A tricky point you don't need protect naval ports which ones is inner sea. Because Danish Belt is under your control and Kiel Canal in under german control allies couldn't send any troops to there. You could just protect norwegian an danish naval ports which one is near atlantic sea :)
That was a tough one. Events and surprises of war have a bigger impact on a small nation, couldn't reproduce your game after many trials, but I managed though.
I like to watch, how You do potientally easy achievements in Your own way: more dificulty, more painful, but definetely more interesting :) I curious, if You can make all Australia achievement in one run (Australia - Hungary, Once More Mate, The weapons of the Third Emu War + Rule Britannia)? Yeah, I know, that do it separly is easy (expectially this first and second), but I like to take as many achievements in one run as I can and I screw up this a few times :)
Nice video man, as always :-) . One thought, that could maybe help with manpower. Maybe we could try fascist revolution, then unlock F manpower tree and then switch to C. I dont know if there is enough time for that, but maybe its worth the try.

The flag may look weird, but, fun fact, it's actually based on the old Nordic Council flag. The emblem in the middle is the one that was used on the council's flag. So, it's not exactly something paradox made up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Council en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Council#/media/File:Flag_of_the_Nordic_Council.svg
Me before watching the video: Why would I watch a video about how to get an achievement I already own and such a boring one too? Later: Fine, I'll watch it. Bitt3rSteel always suffers to make the videos so we can also suffer with him.
Heres a challange for ya, "Martial Prestige". Conquer all of europe with 96 divisions, no more no less all must be veterans at the end. Including ships and aerial forces.
What about an Australia-Guide, including the conquest of japan and maybe hungary (for the other achievement), to make the Emu-War-Achievement with the nuke more interesting?
I tried to do this with just instantly invading Norway and Sweden together. But the allies guaranteed them both. and my naval invasion to Norway was instantly caught by French subs. I sure do love the a.i magically knowing I have an invasion set-up for Norway.
I don't know how much of a challenge it would be for you, but I would like to see you conquer Africa as Namibia. Not for any particular reason, just for the lolz.
hi, i'm a year late, but I just wanted to point out that Namibia starts as part of South Africa. Since South Africa is itself a puppet, I don't know if it can release Namibia so you can play as it
Correct me if I'm wrong but the Finns aren't Nordic, right? They're Finno-Ugric, basically their own thing. Really Paradox should swap the names of the Nordic Union and Scandinavia
Hi mate, I know this is a slightly older vid but I’ve got a question about civil wars (as they feature in a lot of achievement runs). I follow the steps and near timings like in your vids but often after win the civil war the Democratic Party starts another one before I can get collectivist ethos done. Do you have to wait till you get a certain faction support percentage before you fine a civil war? Is it worth doing ‘political discourse’ and discredit government for the extra 10%? Seams like a lot of pp or time wasting 😥 Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks
Hello! I know your comment is old but I know you'll get a notification. Concerning the Democratic thing, yes that's a relatively new thing that was implemented to prevent you speedrunning going to a civil war. Two ways out: either have above 50% stability at ALL TIMES or make sure the Democrats have less than 60% party Popularity support. Now, political discourse is useful if you want to flip slowly and without losing manpower or resources on the civil war. In general, this is done If you already have a decent base and can build up with what you already have instead of rushing. discrediting the government is usually done only when you have 40% or so of the desired party's popularity, so the extra 10% pushes you over 50%
As for the civil war requirement, I believe you need 10%. Not sure though. Political discourse opens you up for the referendum to flip peacefully if you have enough party Popularity
quick question/suggestion, if you decide to go for a civil war in a country with the standart focus tree and ignite the conflict just before (for example) naval effort I finishes, both sides finish the focus, which gives you 6 dockjards instead of three right?
This needs some adjustments for changes in the last year, especially NSB. Trains and Trucks need research and I guess a Theorist for Army XP. I'll know more after another attempt!
Yeah, I would like a few minor updates. I can't ever figure out what it is, but my research never lines up even when I follow these guides exactly. But somehow I think these are buried deep away and we're stuck modifying these on our own. 😟
from Laa Résistance onwards, the template used for garrison duty is abstracted. the MP and equipement is used, per the division numbers, but the units no longer need to exist on the map, physically

Hey Bit3rSteel can you make an updated HRE video I tried following your old video and for some reason on historical the UK always gets fussy and declares war on me. I have all of the DLC and I follow your guides to the T. Btw you're way better than FeedBackGaming he's way too fast at explaining stuff.
It's not that difficult when you start with 4 active military factories. In my games Denmark starts with only 2, which is a completely different matter.
Given your timing early, and the later pain with strikes would it have been better to do the political decisions, and gone for a referendum rather than civil war?
It takes too much damage to be really effective. For now, 14/4 is a better way to attack if you can't get tanks. But Denmark doesn't even have that luxury early on...
Hello my belgian friend) I'm your Russian student) Lets, do something anti-historical) For example, Democratic Japan) Let the Belgian crown be shocked)
I tried doing it, and after winning the civil war, the democrats did another civil war, I was the democrats so I just got back where I was in 1936. wtf happened :p
