  • Today in Hearts of Iron 4 an older Byzantine guide is being called into question, so I am going to show that despite it all the guide is still up to the challenge and is capable of helping the player revive this fallen Empire.
    Along the way the Hellenic kingdom will be completed transformed from the inside out, old leaders will return, new ones will make their entrance and coalitions will be forged that'll take Greece on a different pathway towards glory.
    The previous Byzantine guide. (Further reading to this video)

    For the record this was partially Bitt3rSteel's idea.
    I made this as there is only so many times I can comment skill issue or the guide still works before I realize that it's probably best that I make another video, with this video I can now send people over here if it happens again. I don't expect this to absolutely perfect or all encompassing, nothing is. But you know.

      In my last few games, he even died before the election each time. I get why his ingame date of death is random since irl he died in March of '36, but it's still annoying to have this kind of RNG this early.

      @yolkies 3 місяці тому +2

      Works perfectly fine for me, I've done it over 5 times now and its worked every time because I'm just testing to see how to min max Greece.
      If you let Turkey have Athens they will throw everything there to die or continue to naval invade Peloponnese and lose everything there instead. When Turkey has around 6-x amount of divisions left, move some of your garrison to the border at Edirne but not enough to ruin supplies. Turkey usually has around 4 units here, just force attack your way through to Istanbul and across the crossing. Funnel the rest of your troops across and the war is easily won around the start of 1938.
      If you want to min max even more, when Horror and Fear is completed justify on Bulgaria as well. Then RIGHT before you cap Turkey (I'm talking 99% cap) move enough units to the Bulgarian border so they can't take any free tiles and declare war. If you do this before annexing Turkey there will be no guarantees and now you have an easy path to take Bulgaria and let you take the form Byzantium decision to get the cores. With Bulgaria you can also attack into Romania now without having to form a faction with Bulgaria, and now you're basically strong enough to take on the Soviets alone or join the Axis to fight them.
