30 Minutes of Hell.
Is there a new editor? Some new things are nice but the audio balancing was a bit off 1-2 times! As in, it hurt my ears 💀Great video still thx!
@@MajinObama this is a two year old video, lol
@@Bitt3rSteel Surprised you commented, while you're here do you think it's possible in today's hoi4 to do this achievement still? And if possible you could make a new guide for it? Because subs provide little to no naval supremacy now
It wasn’t the game glitching out it was Germany typing annex all in the console
Damn you Señor Hilter
Was worth a shot...or more...
"Alright, the South Africans beat Britain, time to divide up the land."
"Ok, I want South Africa."
"You can't take them they were our al-"
"I SAID I WANTED SOUTH AFRICA!"
30:53
*BREATHING*
It happens again and I’m scared
31:17
@@greycatmon thats really creepy ngl
i legit though i was hallucinating
Legit scared me until I realised it was Bitter's way of saying "Later, I would find out that I made an erroneous statement". Though, it feels like an art house way of describing such a scenario.
You're such an under-rated UA-camr for HOI4, BitterSteel. Love your content, hope you get far more subscribers. Two thumbs up!
Totally agree, he helped me out a lot of times with some achievements
That aged well...
30:53 Gave me a heart attack.
I nearly jumped xD
So the Cape Commune does not have Cape Town when the CW starts, hmmm
It just works!
it's named after the cape of africa, not cape town
@@512TheWolf512 You mean the Cape of Good Hope?
There was only one Cape province back then (today it's split into Western, Northern and Eastern), but that Port Elizabeth part would indeed be part of the Cape province.
@@jclark4047 cape of good hope is not the cape of Africa it is the tip of Africa. It is also a cape but not the cape
This is the the king of a group of achievements I call: torturing yourself lol good work man
For me the imperial federation and the denmark one are part of that list
@@ak47modwarfare No... Those are easy, really.
@@victorrachid6558 i failed federation twice because one of them rejected me and the denmark one GB declares war on me via focus tree
@@ak47modwarfare Oh, I got the Federation one along with One Empire and for the danish one I spammed horses in 37 and naval invaded the swedes everywhere.
Bitt3rSteel: We want the spanish to be our friends
Also Bitt3rSteel: we will declare war on the spanish
The duality of Man
@@Bitt3rSteel you should make a video about Germany forming Poland - Lithuania (puppet Poland and then help them get the lands they need) or doing the same concept with other nations too if you want
I really wish he would do a 2022 updated version because I have tried constantly to do this achievement, and it's so hard now because of all the updates.
Agreed. I've encountered problem with strategy that I'm unable to justify war on Republican Spain for some reason.
@@MrBlamed You have to pick a province that Nationalist Spain will not take before your justification ends. Problem that I am running into is that Military access wont let me set up naval invasions once republican spain capitulates and the subs do not have enough of a range to get supiority from SA to Portugal proper.
@@KUStuctEng Do you have the docking rights?
@@KUStuctEng use destroyers and naval invade from south africa
You absolutely have to declare war for Muncia since that is the last/one of the last Rep. Spain provinces to fall. The part with Portugal and the UK still works, it is just hard as fuuuuuuck
That glitch sucks. I would have definitely had to take a walk after that one had it been me.
*starts smashing the desk and keyboard*
4:09 I love how despite going to great lengths to replace the word with strife and conflict, it still ends up slipping through.
Today Crusaders Kings II in HoI4, tomorrow Crusaders Kings III in Crusaders Kings III
I think this one for "no step back" would make a good remake
I finally got this achievement by using your guide after a couple years of attempts. Thank you! Btw the new peace conferences of By Blood Alone make it a lot easier. I could swipe Portugal's navy and contest states I needed in the UK and Africa to get what I needed for the achievement.
A couple tips for you guys trying to do this
If you are trying this after By Blood Alone, revert to at least No Step Back (1.11), where Kenya is one state so it's much easier to take.
After you see the German pressure on the Benelux event, it's safe to release Belgium as a puppet. Germany won't get a wargoal on Belgium and France will most likely fall from their front with Italy. (Now that you have Belgium, you could attempt to just paradrop a division into London to get the achievement.)
if you also want to get the Rule Britannia achievement, get the UK on the verge of capitulation and wait for the USA to join the war. Once they join, you can capitulate the UK which will give you control over all their territory (except Northern Ireland, but I don't think thats required. If it is, you can try a quick naval invasion or paradrop to quickly secure it.) but the war wont end since the USA is considered a major. Since you occupy all of the UK, you should also get that achievement too.
Hope this helps!
in NSB, the UK very heavily defends the home islands, everything went well up until the point where I invaded, but they had the entire coast garrisoned in Liverpool not just the ports, and as soon as I landed with my 10 divisions they hit me with 32 divisions including 2 medium tanks I couldn't pierce(32 armor) along with 800 CAS. You absolutely need at least support AA and maybe even AT if you want to succeed at invading the UK now, I absolutely got shredded by CAS even though most of the UK's divisions were only 7-2s. Maybe the reason they were more heavily defended was because I and the Italians completely kicked them out of Africa, but it's probably not possible without AA at least unless you get very lucky. The AI has been improved a lot since this video came out. Also research times are now slower, particularly for industry and submarines, so you can't spam subs as easily anymore.
Also the doctrine rework means you basically can't get enough army exp to do doctrines unless you grind in Africa. I suggest sending an Attache to someone like China or Japan, and going for army high command before you increase your manpower or economy laws. Your economy is so small that going from toaster economy to partial mob or even war economy is only one or two factories.
For the achievement all you need to do is release them via the decision and take London. This can be done while just occupying the land, so instead go hard in Africa for the colonies you need, release them, then put all your effort into just taking and holding London for one second
you just got unlucky
I'm pretty sure that Concentrated Industry actually gives the same amount of factories per state as dispersed.
It does.
He meant that you would get out more Gun I's faster than going dispersed since he did nothing but produce Gun I's for 3-4 years
Hey man I always love watching you dominate in hoi4. Thank you for making this content and please keep going!
just wanna say, love the editing and small effects added in, dont even think i noticed them the first time around but holy shit, a fucking seal of quality right there
A delight as always to watch one of your guides. Don't know when I'll muster up the courage (or time) to try this achievement for myself, but when I do, I'll be sure to use your guide. Thanks again for another very entertaining and helpful video. Seriously man, you do good work.
Also...
Please do Al-Andalus? Pretty please? With a Moroccan cherry on top? The vote between it and Mexico was very close as I recall, and I would love to see you do it. Having said that, I don't want you to feel pressured, I love all of your videos. So if you don't get around to it, no worries.
Awesome Guide! Love to see a challenging and different part of the world!
Thanks for the shout out (Antasil here). What a campaign! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the guide! Finally managed to get the achievment, i got very lucky with Portugal not even using their navy and with UK just forgetting the english channel exists lol
I was waiting for this, thank you
FYI: you don’t need to control the African countries or even have them exist. You just need to have had the events fire for them which set the flags that the achievement checks. You can annex them after or lose the territory while the decision is going etc.
Does that mean you can go for the zimbabwean empire then?
@@SPACECRUISER96 yes, as long as you've released the tags via the decisions you're good to go. Releasing them after you form it might make you lose the cores but I'm not sure. Would have to try.
Best guides ever. Thank You very much :)
Love your videos, Bitt3rSteel! I just unlocked the Med Plutonium achievement where you nuke Denmark as Sweden. The way I did it was I joined the Allies in 1937 once France and Britain announced their alliance. Then I started doing the Atomic Research in 1937 after unlocking the perks with the, “Special Weapons” focus (I think that’s what it’s called.) And then in 1939 after Atomic Research was complete, I used the other perk to research Nuclear Reactors. And while THAT was being researched I did the, “Nuclear Effort” focus in order to start researching Nuclear Bombs in 1941. And then I used all of my industrial spaces to build Reactors. By 1943 I had a nuke, so I joined the war and dropped the bomb. I dropped it on Copenhagen. And then for shits n’ giggles I waited until I had a second bomb and dropped it on Berlin. I basically went the patient route to unlocking this achievement.
plot twist: this video is sponsored by Paradox to promote CK3
I wish, gib me paradox monies!
The factory resets because the building que progress resets at the start of the civil war to prevent this go to your building que and tell it to build more because when it resets it kind of removes it while keeping it there
also sending volunteers saves 5k manpower as it also gives the bonus even when you dont send any volunteers
GG mate, I'm loving your videos
If you want, I'd recommend you doing a guide about the Bevrijding achievement, I did it yesterday and it was a really engaging run (It was quite mentally draining tbh), I think you could make a really good video out of it
And there is very beautiful music in your videos! U have a nice tastes ;)
Thanks for this guide, it made things much less painful.
You can apply a lot of these techniques to a Great Zimbabwe run so I might give that a crack
Managed to get this even when USA had joined the Allies. Keeping the convoy raiding up in "Western Approaches" and "Iberian Coast" made sure no US troops could help the British mainland. I sneaked the NS, and landed in Liverpool. Got the achievement after some intense microing. Thanks for the incredible guides Bittersteel. Easy to understand and follow :)
4:47 kermit the frog says priority
He does have a Kermit voice come through every now and again. Must be a Belgian thing
Think this Ine of your best thumbnails! Good job
Subscribed, liked and commenting for the algorithm.
Thank you man:)
I made a promise, my friend, I keep my promises!
@@Bitt3rSteel thanx to you i got both Crusader kings 2 and Rule Brittania! you are awesome man thank you again ;)
Picture looks really cool!
This is terrific content.
Great vid bro
Custom countryballs I see?
Brilliant video, and man I would be so mad if that happened to me
You have such high-quality videos and only 8.16k subs (at the time of writing this). It's sad you deserve so many more.
“Italy does very well in East Africa here”
*c u r s e d*
what is that sound at 30:53 :D
good video as always!
31:17, happens again
Can’t wait to crusade in hoi and ck3 now. So many options
i like it how you use Hoi3 background music :D
Nice work ı hope you get bigger
Hey, my suggestion! Yay!
Of course, I was expecting a different ending.
A few tipps:
- Don't go for a submarine fleet in the beginning! Use the Commonwealth research bonusses to get 36 destroyers asap and apam those out. You will get naval supremacy quicker that way.
- I would suggest naval invading around the Lisbon area since your invasion fleet will take not as long to land
Great vid
just the thing i wanted to see
remake needed for this video with current version
Thanks for guide!
100% achievements in hoi 4 its painful experience(need last 15 achievements *crying*).
(And in my run for "sc2" India and Canada become major power in last moment, before England falls -_-)
thx dude, really well thought out guide, got the achievement basically first try
I wanna know something -- do you ever record guides where your playthrough doesn't succeed so you have to discard all the footage? In this video you managed to get all of the achievement's requirements but I'm wondering about how common it is that you record a video and the RNG doesn't work out at all so you don't fulfill an achievement's requirements. Does that happen often? Thanks for all the content btw, I'm working on this achievement right now and this video is a definite help :D
Great video. I tried to pull this off but I just couldn't get up to Portugal to capitulate them. Flirted with joining the comintern but it was of no help. Just raised world tension.
Will you be doing a video for the fascist side achievement with Jerusalem?
Please do a game as a Chinese Warlord like the Guangxi Clique, Please!
The word clique in dutch sound like kliek, a leftover of food you keep in the fridge to eat at a latter date. XD
The clique is just china on easy mode cmon
Your baby is very cute
It would be much more challenging and interesting to do Battlecry achievement as Yunnan or Xibei San Ma.
Yunnan is actually better option because of artillery advisor.
It's awesome, dude! U are my favourite HoI IV UA-camr. Greetings from Ukraine! ;)
If you choose to send volunteers to Spain but end up doing nothing you still get the national spirit and you also save manpower
no step back changed everything in this achievment, pls do a remaster or however do you call it
You might be able to use a paratrooper to take Portugal, if you can get air superiority and access from Spain you can just paradrop a province next to Spain and walk the rest of your army across the border.
It's totally broken and how I'd beat Czechoslovakia as Italy when taking Yugoslavia early game.
Excellent video! How do you prevent the Netherlands from joining the allies? Portugal was simple, but the WWII starts when I try and fail to naval invade the Netherlands. Thanks for your time to make great videos.
I did attack Belgium, not the Netherlands. Sorry for the error above
@@danielbachmann3326 slow down the game to 1 before the focus to get the war goal finishes and after it does instantly pause, declare war and invade as quickly as you can
This run was soo good ! Its the hardest achievement ever but for you it was like a piece of cake
I was sad at the end,I was looking forward to fighting the Axis
Very nice, but the unspoken MVP of this run is that, by what I can consider only a bug, you got 185 convoys after Portugal capitulates (not mentioned in the aftermath popup; they just appear). The real challenge of CK2 for me is to keep up with producing convoys that the Brits keep sinking once you need to supply an army in Europe.
LOL, I got annexed by Italy too right after cappin the UK. I would actually recommend letting the US join the war before the UK falls(if you can manage) so that you get a chance to get the Rule Britannia achievement as well. Or you can just build up as India and yoink them in the late game.
Oh that's actually a really smart idea
im so happy i did this like a week ago (so i dont have to do it anymore!)
how you did it?
@@johncarter449 Disclaimer: ive oriented myself by TommyKays Video about this achievement.
Doctrine: Mass Assault and a bit of Trade Interdiction (you might not need any naval doctrine).
Divisions: 20w Infantry + Shovels
(4mils on guns for every 1 mil on support eq)
Build: Only Military Factories
Research: Sub2s, Industry (concentrated), Doctrines, Infantry Stuff
PP: Silent Workhorse, Communist Revolutionary, military theorist, improved worker conditions, war propaganda, manpower up to 5%
Try to priortise improved worker conditions and war propaganda (you may be able to do propaganda in the civil war and against portugal, whildt the earlier you do improved worker conditions the earlier you can do it again, which is good since it is the only good way to increase Stability. I would say raids arent worth it in this playthrough)
First 3 naval Focuses whilst also researching sub 2s from the get go.
Then Abandon Westminster and empower the workers. After that you dont select any focus for some time.
Next get the civil war and justification on Portugal asap.
After that work yout way down the industrial focus tree followed by the very left path to get manpower. Lastly complete the communidt tree.
You can have a very quick civil war, if you delete all units and have one unit in training (dont assign any spot to deploy it yet). When the civil war kicks off you can just deploy this unit instantly and be done with the Civil war in an instance.
Declare the war against portugal at the latest possible date, your army needs time.
Hold the line against mozambique, whilst encircling (do as little pushing as possible!) Units in Angola. When Angola is cleared do the same in mozambique, whilst taking 2 or more of your ~10 Divisions to “island hop“ through the atlantic up to portugal. From my experience you dont need to bother with the island in the bay of guinea since it is often guarded. After having taken the mozambique and the azores, drawn invasion plans for the port in the very south of portugal (the 2 tiles around the port are quintessential) and having deployed your by now ~13 Divisions ready to invade portugal you may do so.
Again try to encircle more than to just push (this build is made to “overrun“ the AI and not for its great combat abilities.
Next deploy further units to have a 24unit army in portugal ready to invade the uk and as many units as possible to defend South Africa/maybe take botswana and zimbabwe to gain more manpower and cores.
What seemed to be important is to justify wargoals on all states you need for the achievment! (London + 3 African States for GB and 3 Kongo States for Belgium). You should justify these wargoals so that the german attack on the western allies should be in the same time you declare war.
Set up naval invasions for the uk. This is very random since you rely on the ai not exerting naval dominance around all its shores. In the multiple attempts i made for this achievement i landed on different shores anytime. You may want to join the axis to be able to invade from germany/france.
Another important thing: i played historical, had 20% war participation and capitulated the UK on my one (AI doesnt help you a bit) and got no say in the peace deal.
BUT i didnt do the thing with the wargoals i explained earlier! I did that in the next unhistorical run where i got the achievment easily.
Problem is that ahistorical runs arent 100% reproduceable...
So i wish you Luck and Determination!
One more thing i have to say: even tho i sometimes watch and try to do Achievements as seen/read in guides i most often need more than 1 attempt, since a guide cant say everything and you need to develop an understanding for the playstyle, country and achievement yourself.
Feel free to ask anything, since i might have forgotten and or misspelled a lot.
I don't seem to be able to naval invade from spanish docks even though I have military access :(
Has it been disallowed in newer versions? Also is there a way to get around this issue?
U cant plan invasions when not at war
30 Minutes of Hell next.
*hel
@@pcgaming7680 *he
As a content request, if you can do France's "Big Entente" that would be cool. I find your playstyle similar to mine, although I've had trouble breaking the German line consistently (as either Napoleon or Democratic France).
Rush all the entente focuses before demand sudentland, join the ententes at the end and then destroy the axis with the full might of Europe. Taking out Italy first with naval invasions works pretty well.
Top
Abram (Bram) Fischer is an interesting historical figure.
Bloemfontein international airport is named after him.
All that the light touches shall be ours!
Ah yes, the Allies defeated themselves.
Have you some tips for crusader Kings 1 achievement?
Oh man, I got close, but no cigar. Italy did awful in Africa to the point they were kicked out of Ethiopia entirely before I even landed in Kenya, so I had to tackle the brits/french on my own. I also got delayed since the UK had a huge fleet patrolling that area for some reason and troops guarding the port. It went well until the Ethiopian mountains when things got bogged down and the US joined the war, so I couldn't divert troops for Sealion. It might be salvageable but at this point it's such a mess.
Kind of ironic how you started out playing CK2 before you started doing HOI4 videos and now you are doing a guide for an achievement named after the game.
Anyway, can you do one for the first "Crusader Kings" achievement?
Wish I had seen this earlier, I did this the hard way and it took til 1965 >.
I have probably tried for this achievement and failed at least 30 times. Finally got it today thanks to this guide
when you've found the perfect tactic and the game's like:
"nah man ain't gonna accept that"
30:53 - what a breATH
I've altered the process slightly for the newer DLCs and Belgium seems to have around 20 divisions between Belgium and their African colonies, and my 8 divisions just get taken out. You can't get the manpower or equipment to make them any bigger than the standard 12w you start with anymore, even with buying guns from the Soviets.
Also you didnt mention it, but if you manage to capitulate england while the us is in the war, you also get Rule Brittania
Would love to see the 'Crush the Dream
' achievement, if you haven't already got it.
Pretty sure it’d be the same strategy he used to take down the US in his One Empire + New World Order guide, but going communist instead of fascist
can you pls do "Our cheaf weapon is surprise"?
speaking of South Africa;
Rome: passage to Rhodesia.
Paradox quality as usual. And people are unironically excited about CK3?
Note for naval combat:
Subs are useless shit, build destroyers, destroyers can actually do some stuff
(If you have some light cruisers, turn some into heavy cruisers and some into carriers)
You can use subs to reinforce destroyers
(Once destroyers destroy screening vessels, they will start launching torpedos into capital ships, so in this stage of battle subs can be actually usefull)
Also dont forget naval bombers, naval bombers can anihilate entire fleets, if you place naval bombers into carriers, these bombers will get 500% attack bonus!!!
Bonus tip:
When doing naval invasions you either use this tamplate:
(8 naval infatry) X 3
Or more idealy this
(8 naval infatry + 3 amphibius tanks) X 2
You can convert light tank II and medium tank I into amphibius tanks, ask czechoslovakia and germany to give you some light tanks, they usually send light tank II
Tip for you:
Subs are cheap and can help in getting naval superiority unlike destroyers
Ave, true to Flintarii
Three times in a row Belgium gets guarantees. God damn it!
Did that first try even thought it took me to 1949 until my modern tanks finaly pushed them out of london
Another problem just popped up (coz it had to i guess), in my timeline Nationalist Spain ended war with Republicans by the December 1938, thing is i cannot set naval invasion to Portugal from the port of Cadiz as intented in the video, what should i do? Should i restart, simply wait or do something?
So, no military access? I suggest a restart. It's still early.
@@Bitt3rSteel Alright Bitts, thanks again for the tip
That ending though
Total scam
Before crusader kings 2 is crusader kings. How to get crusader kings?
Funny how the anti-colonial communists have the Orangist flag with a hammer & sickle instead of something based on black African aesthetics
KaptainMorganWo paradox got lazy
Paradox is just lazy
Yeah INCREDIBLY lazy paradox.
The communist flag makes no sense
And the Fascist one is incorrect also
Hi bittersteel, keep up the good work, I love ur videos
pls heart my comment!!
Such a sad ending
I actually think you need to do a civil war like this now in South Africa given that without fail you just insta get sucked in a civil war now despite that not supposed to being a thing. Not gonna lie, was really mad when that happened.
