okay, taureor I don't know about the British, but that's probably too easy...you still can play them though, but someone like Philippines, Dutch East Indies, Ireland, or a releasable would be cool to see as well
How does that work? Maybe There is an off map hell. That Lucifer supplies expeditions, convoys, weapons and technology progress to his worshipers. Let's stick in the papal city that provides counter help. Then add a country scale holy to satanic with the usua political axis. Lastly add an invade heaven or invade hell if you conqueror the world as an end game feature.
If you can do socialist democratic italy through the civil war after forming roman empire as fascist italy you can also do the abolish the colonies focus which allows you to core the entirety of africa and the middle east.
@ivopalazzo3703 Its harder than it looks because its near impossible to do diplomatically, and if you lose one border war to Xibei San Ma (the only country you border) it sets you back immensely in time and political power. Somehow I've formed the turkic union from Tannu Tuva but not Sinkian yet.
Ugh, that challenge really sucks. If you miss one border war, you have to reset the run early on, you have to build sooo many supply hubs, and on top of all that, you have to capitulate the USSR from the east, which is almost impossible without any supply whatsoever.
I don't mind the longer videos Also: I'd like to see an India game, one that shows how to make then good (or at least better). Maybe India as the top regional power?
Suggestion: Do a run forming al-Andalus or Turan to their maximum extents (getting all the possible cores for those nations) Also, personally, I don't mind the longer vids at all!
I have an idea Taureor, you always loved Trotsky back in the day. He is still very good, if you get Trotsky, Karl Radek and the "Permanent Revolution" focus then all your justifications are 10 days. Add Maksim Litvinov to the mix and you can get military access to all democratic nations aswell! Love your content, and please let Trotsky redeem himself in your eyes!
As Yugoslavia, go down the path where you release all your states, and then take down all 3 major factions without joining any of them AND without reuniting with your puppets. You can create a faction
Since an Irish guy invented the submarine, it would be cool to see an Ireland world conquest but only using submarines for navy or just Ireland messing with the world using its subs
Game suggestion:world conquest as Bhutan BUT you have to be in veteran difficulty, buff ALL the countries that you can and do not change not a single thing from the historical stuff.Everything has to be historical. Good luck and I hope you suffer :)

@@Taureor It's possible! Wouldn't surprise me, honestly. Either way, the Satanist Poland path is quite fun in KX, though it might feel a little derivative after having just done a Spanish Anarchist run.
As a Spanish speaker, I'll say that the G in "autogestión" is more like the sound that H usually makes in English (similar to J in that respect); aside from that, your pronunciation of the word is fairly solid for someone that (I assume) doesn't speak a lot of Spanish.
The 'best' way to execute the civil war is subjective but it is worth noting that at the end of the war, you will receive *cores* on all the *nationalist states you have fully converted* before the war as well as all of the *republican states which have not been fully converted* by the nationalists. The cost of contesting a fully converted garrison is the same as the cost of re-integrating that core later, hence it in terms of PP usage it is 'optimal' to never contest any garrison but rather to just core them back later. In practice however I find this to be more of a pain than it is worth, and I do contest the garrisons, but only with the goal of keeping at least weak control over all of my own in order to receive the cores when the war ends. If you want to make the civil war as easy as possible, trying to obtain full control of the Galicia garrison (as Taureor suggest in the video) is a good way to go because it is the only one of the seven northern (nationalist) garrisons to contain a military factory. For people who want to play this tag with historical AI i would recommend attacking the Guanxi Clique as your first justification. They can easily be capitulated with naval invasions from Macau and once you link up with the Japanese along the coast to the north (just rush & naval invade towards the north after the clique capitulates), it should be possible to win the sino-japanese war with a fair share of war contribution by pushing westwards. After China is defeated, you will be well-positioned to quickly occupy Malaysia and Indonesia for their resources in a subsequent war against the Allies. I've been playing as the anarchists quite a bit since they are my favorite tag, but I could still learn a few things from this amazing video! Can't wait for part 2!
World conquest with a nation which starts with impassable terrain only? E.g. start as France and, core northern Algeria, release Algeria without the French cores and play as them. :)
Please have a cavalry template that charges over the world for the fun of it. Also for your next challenge I'd like to propose something a bit more open ended: I'll call it the empires of evil. Play as Germany, you can only declare war on the Netherlands (with only additional option to puppet Sweden). Once you take the Netherlands, you are no longer allowed to declare war on anybody in Europe, including USSR. No focus wargoals, no nothing. You can puppet with resource rights Indonesia if you want. In order to start attacking European nations, you have to collaborate with Japan to capitulate all of China first.
Play as Switzerland and bring neutrality to the world by removing all factions from existence in a non-historical game. Taking over and disbanding factions is okay.
Only full equipped armies sound nice because it is the opposite of your "spam infantry". You can make it into several challenges like "only tanks, only mobilized infantry, only cavalry, etc.." This feels like the game and war are supposed to be fought. Well planned, fully equipped divisions and not spam infantry with only a fraction of their guns and abise the hoi4 tile system. Well unless you are the ussr or china, then it is viable because it is historically :D My favourite challenge would be to have mixed and fully equipped divisions. So accurate armies that are made of tanks, mibilized infantry, cavalry and infantry divisions. And planes ofc. And no one cares for ships, just spam submarines ;) This isn't a valid request because i request several stuff in one comment, i know that but i want to make others like the idea and ask for this stuff in other comments :D
Taureor, can you try a communist India play through if possible I rarely see people play as India at all and much less as communist. I would love to see where you actually do with it.
You should have set portugal to monarchist brazil union path and waited for them to annex brazil, you get brazil as well as portugal that way(even cores on brazil!)
Idea - top 10 rarely used focus trees. I know its not your usual type of video, but with an aging game and declining viewership overall, doesn't hurt to try something a bit different IMO.
I would love to see a playthrough of the Expanded Hungary mod, while it is still a work in progress mod, you can actually get so far with this mod with interesting mechanics
Mines are great for getting Naval Superiority, just add a mine slot in your submarines and a fully mined out zone will double your naval superiority in that sea zone
Would love to see some Netherlands gameplay, think it can be a really fun country. I haven't ever really seen a communist Netherlands, don't know if that side of the tree is any good? Some Orange on the map in some way or another would be pretty cool, so that would be my suggestion!!
He actually did it!
Idea: Starting as an island nation, conquer all landlocked countries
you just wanna torture him?
so basically the british empire achievement?
He could do it as Japan.
@@azlanadil3646he already conquered Americas as Cuba so it won't be difficult for him. More of annoying than anything
okay, taureor I don't know about the British, but that's probably too easy...you still can play them though, but someone like Philippines, Dutch East Indies, Ireland, or a releasable would be cool to see as well
The madlad actually did it
He done did it
Challenge: Go communist with UK and survive the scripted civil war when you don't do decolonisation.
Ohhhh, I really like that one
I mean, if there was a mod that changed Sanationist Poland to Satanist Poland, that would definitely be worth playing!
How does that work?
Maybe There is an off map hell. That Lucifer supplies expeditions, convoys, weapons and technology progress to his worshipers.
Let's stick in the papal city that provides counter help.
Then add a country scale holy to satanic with the usua political axis.
Lastly add an invade heaven or invade hell if you conqueror the world as an end game feature.
Or Sanitationist.
@@Roketsune that sounds like your trying to
I meant sanitise Poland
@@ben-gu6tm Hitler tried that, didn't work.
Monarchist democratic italy forms rome and eu please.
This path is actually crazy, I have done it and loved it
If you can do socialist democratic italy through the civil war after forming roman empire as fascist italy you can also do the abolish the colonies focus which allows you to core the entirety of africa and the middle east.
@@tomthebuilder794 abolishing colonies while coring them, LOL
Challenge: As Sinkiang, unify both all of China and the Turkic Union
@ivopalazzo3703 Its harder than it looks because its near impossible to do diplomatically, and if you lose one border war to Xibei San Ma (the only country you border) it sets you back immensely in time and political power. Somehow I've formed the turkic union from Tannu Tuva but not Sinkian yet.
Ugh, that challenge really sucks. If you miss one border war, you have to reset the run early on, you have to build sooo many supply hubs, and on top of all that, you have to capitulate the USSR from the east, which is almost impossible without any supply whatsoever.
Bonus points: Take the opposition path; and switch non-aligned (which can be done if you accept to be puppeted by China)
Sounds fun
Taureor sacrificing his soul/sanity for content, respect ❤
Island nation campaign capturing everyone landlocked, sounds like a good idea
Sounds fun on paper, but if you're allowed to play Great Britain, then that's not particularly hard.
@@HelloWorld-cq1sqwhat about Japan?
How about one last Finland run to conquest all neighbouring countries before the new dlc?
Keep up the fantastic work Taureor. You’re out here suffering for my entertainment. Love your personality, content, and play style.
I got to bump Equestria at war
unify africa for maximum pain please :3
I don't mind the longer videos
Also: I'd like to see an India game, one that shows how to make then good (or at least better). Maybe India as the top regional power?

I liked long videos because they are nice to watch when laying back in the afternoon and see every decision you made.
Holy moly he's actually doin it
I've just finished the equestria at war video and got on this one to ask if you'll do more of that,it looks amazing for a my little pony mode 💀
Painful Idea: As Switzerland, own all mountain ranges
I’ve been waiting for this video for years! So excited to watch
We need to get Equestria At War to number one! Also, this is a formal suggestion to do Equestria At War again.
I cant understand why folks want shorter videos. I love long ones. Gives way more insight into how you manage to play this well.
Respect man! excited for part 2
also maybe Switzerland owns all mountain regions in the world (joke... or maybe not)
I'd like to see Taureor actually play his most hated country in his favorite way.
I just did, with the exception of order 66. I hate Anarchist Spain
Germany, every division different, is an option? YES PLEASE NAME EVERY SINGLE ONE TOO DADDY
i love the thirty minute length videos, not too short, not too long
I can not overstate my love for the spredsheet.
i would love more equestria at war lol
As Yugoslavia, go down the path where you release all your states, and then take down all 3 major factions without joining any of them AND without reuniting with your puppets. You can create a faction
Im just glad the spreadsheet got the engagement of the viewers way up. Even if anarchist PAIN was the way
Annoying to start, fun to play once you are up and running!
Challenge: Artillery Only
"This is why we can't have nice things." - Taureor
I'd love to see you play Millennium Dawn, any country.
Since an Irish guy invented the submarine, it would be cool to see an Ireland world conquest but only using submarines for navy or just Ireland messing with the world using its subs
It is kind of cool that you can basically core the entire world.
Impossible without mods or console, takes too much political power
@@Taureor Ah man that is no fun. I wish there was a way to do that.
Game suggestion:world conquest as Bhutan BUT you have to be in veteran difficulty, buff ALL the countries that you can and do not change not a single thing from the historical stuff.Everything has to be historical. Good luck and I hope you suffer :)
The point isn't to make them as difficult as possible, but fun and interesting!

He now lives in Spain without the A.
spin
Satanist Poland I believe refers to a specific path in Kaiserredux as Poland! Gets you cores on the world and everything.
Or it's misspelled sanationist Poland
@@Taureor It's possible! Wouldn't surprise me, honestly. Either way, the Satanist Poland path is quite fun in KX, though it might feel a little derivative after having just done a Spanish Anarchist run.
25:26 liked for disrespecting The Execrable Anglo 👹
Equestria at war, vague as per spreadsheet description.

Not sure if it's different in Catalan though :3
Sorry Babe I can't come over, Taureor uploaded ("Babe is a product of my imagination)
it's been 2 weeks. I think anarchist pain might have actually killed him
I loved the video. And I can get behind a 2-part video. 👍 Thank you for your suffering, Taureor. o7
Iceland next :)

ottoman guide would be soo helpful. turkey has the WORST focus tree I've ever seen
Idea: What is the best kill/death ratio possible in hoi4?
1:0? killing at least one enemy once not losing any troops makes the ratio mathematically impossible, so I guess that.
@@Taureor good point but I got up to 800k kills on Japan losing less then 30k losses with USA (naval game). Wondering what the limit is.
If you're going planes only you can manage a 1:0 kill ratio
Ooh i saw al-andulus. Maybe you could roll that and caliphate in one where you form the umayyad caliphate at greatest extent.
I enjoy the longer videos

too complex and limited I think
Bro loves pain 💀
EaW return will be legendary.
Now I want to see a Satanist Poland playthrough.
i actually had a blast playing anarchists pain.
Red flood is a very interesting mod to say the least, might I suggest it.
This sounds extremely painful
It was. took me weeks
You're welcome Taureor :)
belgium forms EU
Satanist Poland WC would be fun.
I'd would like to see a Hail to the Qing run, I think
equestria at war please
I would highly recommend Golden Morning path for the County on Longsword in Equestria at War. It is a chalenging experience
Found the European Union with belgium
you're all the same person with different accounts, right?
MOD: TNO Burgundy
Would love to see more melinuum dawn

"Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make."
Tahiti into Polynesia caught me eye, ngl. Although if someone made a Satanist Poland mod, that would be dope
Iceland sounds like a painful challenge lmao
EQUESTRIA AT war...
Equestria at war vague edition, likely just try equestria let the civil war happen
Order 66 Only Challenge
You made fun of all those British cities but you didn't even mention Cockermouth lol
rooster her mouth could work for that
Road to 56 Austria is so much more fun for forming Austria-Hungary than via Hungary. I'd definitely recommend that.
Thank you for your sacrifice. It is well appreciated.
Play as Switzerland and bring neutrality to the world by removing all factions from existence in a non-historical game. Taking over and disbanding factions is okay.
My congratulations and commiseration having to put up with that. :)
I'd vote for a guide to historical Britain :)
Do Iceland on road to 56 next
EAW GRIFFIN EMPIRE 😀😀😀
the famous explorer of ben dover, spiffing has well mentioned him as well
Do road to 56 Scotland
Hi, I really like your content. I suggest Sichuan in Kaiserreich with the Officer Department in charge for the spreadsheet.
