The issue with HOI4 is just the massive air/sea regions there’s no depth to it. The HOI3 operational area system is so much more expansive and being able to bomb city or a country and select fewer specific regions makes sense. The same issue applies to sea combat and the complete lack of strategic depth, you either have more and better ships or you don’t. Guess paradox AI would be too dumb to play the naval game.
@@Jomchen Yet another shining example of features present in past HOI titles, but absent in this one B) but hey, we got Orthodox Russia focus tree with cool portrait, amirite?
@@Jomchen hoi 3 was about as new gamer friendly as a prostitute with leprosy is rich. (Meaning not at all) hoi 4 is much more streamlined and has less of a learning curve so people can pick it up much easier, while still having a high skill ceiling. If you want hoi 3, go play it.
the problem is how to balance the old focus tree countries with the new one. The focus of Italian is so huge that nerf them bcz we need to spend more time to try to get rid of the debuff. Imagine German need 4 70 days Focus to get 12 Civilian Factory
01:59 - ...did they miss an "s" in "The 'Soldier King' remind the italians"...because I feel like they did, and it's supposed to say "...reminds the italians..." 07:33 - I feel like the description should say "...forever strive..." instead of "...forever strife..." Yes, some of us do read the descriptions! Well, some of them anyway. And no, English isn't my first language so I could be wrong, but still feel like those aren't quite right...
I know it doesn’t matter but if you are pronouncing mare nostrum its Latin and it’s pronounced ma-re (re like red) nos-strum and it means our sea anyway love the video ❤
The new dlc with aircraft designer will make Japan very much fun: Imagine Japanese Carrier with sky tanks that will sink whole fleets on their own, granted they didn't fiddle with plane sizes on carriers
Not a big detail but the "ce" in duce is pronounced similar to "Che", like in Che Guevara. Also looking forward to see more from the new DLC. Can't say I expected Switzerland to get a focus tree before Norway and Finland though.
At this point looking at the new italian tree they really need to redo the focus trees for all the major powers since they really feel outdated by now, even the already reworked ones feel lacking compared to the italian one. I was also really hoping that the new peace deal system would finaly prevent border gore but somehow hungary really has a thing for french brittany appariently. Landlocked nations really should not be able to annex territory across the continent.
When you pick a naval designer, you'll have to refit your ships in some way for the bonus to take effect - it's not passive. Even something as simple as AA upgrades will do. Literally anything.
Also, the Italian navy can handle itself 9/10 times if you build the ships in the production queue. Add 100 naval bombers to each air zone in the Med and you're pretty much good to go. I'm not sure if they've added negative debuffs that will dramatically affect the Italians, but as of current you really shouldn't be getting the whole navy sunk. Just don't try it without building any ships... that was painful to watch.
I see what happened. Never put surface ships on convoy raiding. That's what subs are for. It's a waste of oil and gets ships sunk. All 6 battleships should be together, and set to strike. Along with the heavy cruisers, 10 light cruisers, and 25 destroyers all in one fleet. The rest of the destroyers can be split into 8's and set to convoy escort or patrol. Split subs into 8's and put on convoy raiding.
You didn’t show the one feature I really really wanted to see which was division level commanders! I mean it’s fine cause I’ll get to see you in a couple days but still that’s why I clicked on the video lol
Yep. New HOI updates suck because of this very reason, its the same thing that ruined EU4 imo. Far too much useless button minigames for it to be fun anymore

Also Alex: "Fighters don't seem to find each other much anymore. It's a bit odd."
I hope fighters are harder to shoot down this patch, the last few patches air dominance has gotten out of hand.

He's like Alex the Great! except Italian. Or Roman. Romanum
It’s a paradox how that works ☝️

Who wants to Alex do Ethiopia? 📯🌍
Dew it
I look forward to his x5 speed run of the war.
Me, This time he goes socialist Ethiopia or Pan-Africanism cuz why not
not me (but thats just me)
yes i want to alex do ethiopia
Alex: My Navy’s got palmed by the UK
Also Alex: “Puts retreat orders on ‘Never Retreat’l
I love how the new peace deal system made the border gore even worse somehow lmao
You had me at 2:14
I literally thought it was the same size... then you zoomed out and my jaw dropped. They finally did it.
yeah. but now italy have bigger focus tree that germany Xd maybe i am wrong. but we'll see after the dlc was released!
When the Yugoslavs Casually have fighter Jets 11:00
I was just thinking... Are those MIGs???
@@jentezijlstra they seem more like Sabres to me
Historicaly accurate
Bro roleplayed Italy perfectly, very strange decisions throughout.
@@delta2372 Yeah, your right. Italy should have -25% org at the start, severe industry penalties, and especially technology penalties for tanks.
I can’t wait for the day it fully comes out
@Deadpoppin based
@Deadpoppin Not a torrent user, but yeah. I'm not paying for that. Even if i could.
Is torrent still a thing?
I pirated via torrent in 2007.
@@sofartsogood3932 BitTorent is the way to go
@Deadpoppin Mostly don't need to. I have other ways to get the game without torrent.
when he opened the focus tab, I was afraid for a second that it was the same old tree
Trauma takes a while to heal.
That would be so hilarious. A dlc focused on Italy but all it does is flavor events and decisions
Shhhh it's okay no more shit focus tree
" La battaghiglia di grano" xD as an italian i confirm you speak italian better than many french guys
11:00 THEY HAVE JETS?!?

Seeing that new Italian focus tree brought me joy I haven't felt in the 5 years I've known about HOI4.
Can't wait to play it myself. Great video that made me can't wait even more!

Did anyone else notice Yugoslavia using migs-15's?
I have been waiting for a glorious 30+ minutes video for ages 🥹 very excited to watch this tonight! 😄😄
An Italy rework! It's beautiful!!! It's also chaotic and complicated as hell, but it's beautiful!!! It's all I ever wanted!!!

That aircraft designer is guaranteed to consume a lot of my time and can't quit to play with it.
Beautiful content Alex the Rambler
I'd love to see Alex restore the Papacy and go down that focus tree. I think that could be a fun video.
I can't wait for this DLC to be released. It looks very fun.
Cant wait for Meloni to try new focus tree irl
Haven’t heard anybody say “ma-hoo-sive” since the good old days of watching Mumbo Jumbo
Love your content. Keep on trucking, my friend!
I know it doesn’t matter but if you are pronouncing mare nostrum its Latin and it’s pronounced ma-re (re like red) nos-strum and it means our sea anyway love the video ❤
It is weird seeing Italy with such a big focus tree
24:51 dude, Hungary just wants sea access
Keep up the good work alexx... Love your vidss...
Monarchist Italy here is actually neat. Monarchist Roman Empire sounds interesting, hopfully they actually keep the name as an empire now lol
20:16 Never knew Luxembourg was that powerful lmao
Yay Alex! Sponsor Alex more Paradox!
Great Video Alex! You are always keeping me entertained. Could you try Monarchist Italy with Victor Emanuel III in ABSOLUTE power.
I will never not ask for a monarchist playthrough
Alex’s pronounciation of bataglia del grano was pretty good one note is that the g in there is not pronounced
1:28 bye bye rambler
When I first saw the "Augustus Mussloni" profile after forming the roman empire the first time I cracked up hard. :D
Been watching for years and Googling for just as long for Chonky Cat Mug. Please share your secret of the Chonk

the south america focus is quite something
I can’t believe Alex used so many console commands! Watch to the end to find out how many!
Do a monarchist pope-run pls
Hi Alex! I have a challenge for you! Play as Switzerland an conquer Italy and Germany.
I saw the picture so i know you would make it.
Nice to see you :) You look good - glad to see that :)
Please do the monarchists
I wonder how many modders are going to use the 'balance of power' system
'Bring back the Roman Empire!' But which Roman Empire?
In italian "g" sound is soft but if its "gh" its hard so not battaghlia but battaglia 😊
“Bringing the expansion a little bit early….”
Yeah, make me wonder how soon Victoria 3 will start getting some sponsorships.

MONARCHIST ITALY PATH
to make your ambition to came true you tried to click the greater italy decision instead the mare nostrum decision :D but it was a great run
Before watching. It will be descending into madness
Truly you are the new Caesar
If theres no end to them, I imagine missions from the Duce will get real old real quick
Bad italian pronunciation, but loving the effort! 💪🏻😎 Keep on with that Alex, we surely need more italian focus tree video! 🇮🇹
It's gonna go well.
Im so hyped for this expansion ngl pdx nailed it
"Conflict in Ethiopia."
Do you mean "Special military operation?"
We all know Alex is going to do the monarchist tree next😂
i hope its going to go good
Alex is blessed with the knowledge that CAS is king, so really how bad can this go? My guess is there will be a disaster save made out of this
As Claus Schwab said we must increase “COMPLIANCE”
"Can I do it?" Queue the gong show.
Can you survive as that new small nation?
You didn’t show the one feature I really really wanted to see which was division level commanders! I mean it’s fine cause I’ll get to see you in a couple days but still that’s why I clicked on the video lol
Make a monarchist path for Italy
blessed timeline where Britain has its first black leader
“We’re starving an entire German army Corp which is poggers”

Oh god, there's conditional surrender...finally!
