      Kommunistischer Kapitalisten Faschist he needs to commit more of his army to Britain early so they cant recall all their troops and set up a good line. He also rarely attempts to encircle divisions which is crucial versus the AI

    Play as the US in millennium dawn, (2017 Start), must end all wars by getting directly involved in them, must also unite Korea. Must end all wars by 2020. I’m not sure if it’s possible, but give it the good ol Rambler try.

    In this senerio, even if the roman empire didn’t fall it still would collapse eventually due to the split between classes in it. What you could have done to show the situation better was give the roman empire some of it’s land that it had, and also give turkey more land due to the war against the byzantine empire being such a long war for the ottomans that they collapsed quickly, which would also make a stronger central powers at the start of world war one. This would be an interesting alt history scenario and a mod on that would be pretty cool.

    Hey Alex, have you heard of the war of the triple alliance? Basically Paraguay fought against Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay at the same time.
    Here's the HOI4 challenge: as Paraguay, capitulate Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. You must declare war on all 3 at the same time. You can use road to 56.

    Constantinople... Instanbul... Same thing Alex. Instanbul originates from the greek phrase: "Is tin Polin" "Εις την πόλιν", which means "to the town"
    The origin is that when people asked where are you going, you would reply "To constantinople", which was said in the way like "To Constantine's town" which ended up with time becoming simpler, "To the town" , which became Instanbul as I explained. So the truth is that both names Are 100% Greek and so there is no reason to be butthurt about it

    • @savsal2603
      @savsal2603 6 років тому +3

      "Istanbul is derived from a Greek phrase that means "in the city", which matched the way that people in the area would refer to the place as "The City". It has been referred to by many names in its history, most notably Byzantium, Constantinople, and now Istanbul."
      and "to the town" isnt the name, it was the response when people asked where you are going, where you usually reply with a name which is why this phrase evolved this way
      Thats a quick google search to confirm I didnt misinform people... AAAND i didnt.

  • @germanicus8342
    @germanicus8342 6 років тому

    That's not if the west didn't fall, that's the map if the Eastern Roman Empire had managed to continue the work done by Justinian, in which most of the west was reclaimed. You have Greek sothern France added one, along with more of Hispania and Africa added onto Justinian's reconquests. Which likely means Julius Nepos was not assassinated in 480 C.E​ and used the armies under his command to retake Italia prior to Justinian reconquests.
