- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Today in Hearts of Iron IV we will be ranking all five of paths that Portugal can do, From the Fifth Empire to Unions with Spain or Brazil every path will be put through it's paces to find the best of best in this large and very interesting focus tree.
Along the way we will see not only what's good about the paths, but what's not. Where the paths shine and where they fall short. Even in comparison to the rest. No stone will go unturned.
Music used from:
A Hat in Time.

Working with DB's, fun as usual.

Portugal pre La-Resistance was not high on people's lists for a focus tree, but just like Mexico in Man the Guns it got a really nice one, so it's fairly easy to overlook that. It's why I don't really mind when PDX give countries like the Baltics focus trees, they can make it work. Even if sometimes they don't hit the mark.
Nice video!,btw could you make a video about the best Greece focus trees?
Can you make a video about the Polish focus trees also? Thanks!
Can you rank British trees next
Ranking every New Zealand path
Number 5:
All ways
😂
Shit shit shit shit there you go
5: go alone. Sucks.
4: Fascism independent
3: Communism
2: british democratic
1: Japan fascism
The independent democratic path for sure! Best part is, it doesn't actually do anything to turn you democratic. So if you have ticking communist support or anything else, you're screwed!
Portugal has imo one of the best Focus tree in Hoi4, not because it has the best path, but because even the "worst" path is still fun to play.
Do you plan to rank the french paths (including the free and vichy one). Because I think it's an underated country in the game compare to his impact in the end 30s in reality (france army was bigger than the german one in 1940).
I'm really digging this style of video, it's a nice way to showcase a country's FT while also showing which one is objectively better feature wise, I hope you keep up
The Fifth Portugese Empire is sort of a historical idea about "the world uniting under Portugal because we have awesome knowledge and culture"
So it's supposed to facilitate world conquest and why would you need factions in a world conquest?
By the same logic Germany should have the cannot join factions rule. It's just not needed.
@@BubblesZest if Paradox actually followed it up with decisions to core the world like Spanish Anarchists do, it would be better
@@BubblesZestbut germany was in an alliance in our timeline
@@BubblesZest you are aware of that fifth portugese empire can still join the axis?
@@Vaipts via a focus yes, I think he did mention it in the video.
Loving this ranking series ! Hope we'll see France soon
You did this video after 3 days of the Portuguese revolution of the carnations, what a casualty
Rolão Preto is such an interesting fellow you should totally look him up on google
I always struggle with the own civil war and the spanish civil war, when i join as communist portugal, and i am not very consistent with it. Any tips?
Disband your army, send all of your equipment to Spain 10 days before the civil war kicks in. When the civil war kicks in (such as for the communist one), just cancel the lend lease and you have all your equipment back and your enemy has no units.
@@B-O-G Quick question don't you need 40% World Tension to do that or is there another way because I tried it and realized too late that I couldn't send a lend lease and got steamrolled
Question: does anyone know why fascist Portugal is called the "Fifth" Portuguese Empire? Where did the other four go?
Zero clue mate. I know about maybe 3: it's first existence way back in the Reconquista, when it got it's independence from the Iberian Union, and when the royal family had to stay in Brazil thanks to Napoleon, and it changed it's name to "UK of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves". The 4th could be refering to the fact that when it became a republic, it was still a colonial empire, and so in a way it was the "Salazarist colonial empire" (maybe?).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Empire
it's a weird concept; basically the first are the greeks, second is romans, third is christianity itself, fourth is europe, and they believe portugal is the 5th, and will lead the world culturally and spiritually. its wild.
@@what-uy7go that's really interesting. It is make sense why they can't join a faction because ideological pov they are against whole world. Paradox should expand this path
@@doctorwhat779 yeah, some additional spirits/events would be nice, plus more content involving brazil considering how important it was to portugal historically
@@what-uy7go I should’ve expected this, everyone wants to be the new Rome
Can you rank all Italian and or Ethopian Paths
Italy:
8. Democratic Socialist
7. Christian Democracy
6. Mussolini
5. Communist
4. Balbo
3. Monarchy
2. Grandi
1. Pope
Ethiopia:
6: Italo Ethiopian Empire
5. Anarchist
4. Co-op with Italy
3. Boarding the Train
2. Stalinist
1. Emperor Stays
Have you ever seen a game where any player was able to execute a coup against fascist Germany or is that not possible because of Germany’s high ideology drift fence?
Can you do a detailed run of the various baltic trees? I get very confused with all the divergent and intersecting paths
A year late but if you still play I had a surprising amount of fun playing the Latvia-Belarus SSR path of the Latvian focus tree, It was initially a bit of a random choice since I hadn't done it before but yeah one of the funniest and most enoyable experiences Ive had, from somehow yanking Belarus from Stalin to the satisfying conquer of the tidbit of Lithuanian land separating me from Belarus to the weird alliance with moustache man to take Poland out and finally the 2 formables you can make in the process, turn into the Latvian Belarus SSR then the Baltic Union with a communist flavour, 10/10
Damn, within 50 seconds of upload
Ranking every mexican focus tree?
Could you do video like that for France?
You should definitely do italy
Ranking every tannu tuva path ?
The monarchist vs. communist paths come down to whether you want easier expansion and slightly more manpower than the other path at the cost of the drawbacks of being non-aligned (monarchist) or you want more of a challenge, but more of a reward in the form of better ability to expand your military and land (communist). I'll say that playing as communist Portugal doing the Iberian Union is like playing as a Spain that isn't suffering from internal schisms all the time.
About forming Iberia, instead of sending volunteers you can just manually justify on nat spain and help directly to republicans so iberian workers unite automatically bypasses and you dont have to worry about a double civil war
join the commintern is one of the best focuses for portugal since you can declare war on nationalist spain hold your territory and wait for the soviet union to do everything for you (you have to improve relations and do diplomatic pressure). after that you simply do iberian union and get all of iberia without doing any fighting
yay
You need to use volounteers to make it so the carlists rise up
You can't do that as Monarchist Portugal.
@@BubblesZest i could swear i had seen a tutorial that explained how to do it
i hate the 5th empire because of the hideous color
I think Historical Estado nova is very good
"Stability is just like AE in EU4" I think that sound like saying a coalition is just like the UK and France guaranteeing everyone you want to attack in HoI4... which is to say, these things aren't comparable in my opinion
Bruh, don't overthink it. T'was a joke.
@@BubblesZest Ah, so that was a joke. I do find it hard to tell the difference sometimes, so my bad.
Ranking every Turkish path
Do germany nenxt
Please do one with polish focus tree 🥺
Honest opinion. 👏
Ew, putting the communist path above the monarchist one?
