I think that the thing tommy don't understand is that he is not the only one who gets the bonuses in the focus tree, other countries (If that country choose the broken path) gets the bonuses too.
Yeah it trys to go for the balance style that the original modern warfare 2 had were if everything is overpowered nothing is overpowered but it just doesn't work as the AI doesn't know how to effectively use the buffs
True but most of the time the ai doesn’t take advantage of these bonusses. Meanwhile the player can properly take advantage and crush the AI because they actually use their bonusses
"And who doesn't like Hitler, am I right UA-cam viewers? That's why you're clicking." Actually I clicked to check on how much more of Tommy's hairline has receded.
Age of Imperialism has a serious balancing problem. I've seen people describe the mod being similar to Kaiserredux, which is notoriously bad with game balance. A few weeks ago I played a campaign as France in AoI, and I was essentially unstoppable before the major European war even began. I essentially sat around for several hours knowing I would win regardless in the end, without any real challenges to deal with.
I call it Wills of Iron. Its like HOI4 but the map is randomly generated and the nations are blank templates to essentially expand and create your own history. A focus tree designer can be created that uses PP.
I accidentally hit the ‘next video’ button at 11:56 and laughed hard. I guess it was from after hearing Tommy’s comments about how boring this mod has been.
Pdox keeps messing with AI by goofing with things every hot"fix" and not having a couple of the newer DLC can wildly impact a number of bonuses/nerfs. But yeah the PP needs a touch of a nerf for sure. 25-33% seems fine.
Is tommykay interested in playing turn-based games? Cause if he is, I think he’ll like Expeditions: Rome, and I would really like to see him play it. Can’t speak for everyone else though.
i love the history and the variants of how everything happened, 10/10 mod, i played every recommended country XD edit: when i finished watching the video i remembered that when u finish most major wars the game crashes, i say most cuz when i played japan i declared war on qing and russia, erradicated them and managed to get a peace!
He isn't a native English speaker and not exactly reading off a script. Modders have time to grammar&spell check before release. You can't hold him to the same standard...
@@Logan0o Don't you think that that logic is a bit of a fallacy? By those standards most people wouldn't be able to critique 90% of the things they do. Hell, Steam Reviews would be completely pointless since most of those reviewers can't program. I'd agree it'd be ironic if Tommy released the shittiest mod in existence right after his statement.
I am dutch and live 4 km from the german border but also watch it sometimes, so idk i think a lot of Germans watch him yo be honest... and btw his german accent becomes less and less by the year
He says "Alter" at least that is to my knowledge how it should be spelled. It means something like dude when you translate it but I am not German so take this with a grain of salt. It is a East German thing or just a german thing like how English speakers say dude, Mate or equivalents.
Modern banks make money by investing other people's money, if they did not do this, then instead of the bank paying you to have money in the bank, you would pay the bank to have your money protected.
@@henkschrader4513 Banks have so much money that they would need a massive investment to land flat, and even after that modern banks are very much funded by the government, for any large bank in the modern day (at least in the us) to go bankrupt would require the government to go bankrupt.
@@magicboxhead9448 i know and agree to a point... idk how old you are but do you remember the 2009 recession, well it started with a few banks that made a really bad investment in the housing market in the US and those particular banks didn't have the money for a few year to get a FEW rich people their money back all of it... but this stayed in the US for a few months until the domino effect brought it all over the world... hard to imagine btw no that we have a way bigger recession now and in the near future then in 2009, we're on our way to a new great depression if there goes on more thing wrong in that case a lot of people even in the US and the rich European are gonna starve... but who knows it could be that we had evey crisis and that we're on our way recovery but I'm doubtful with a very big war again in europe and many other potential wars, fascism and nazisme is growing in a lot of western countries and communism also grows in certain countries... in the US both are growing eich means a potential Civil war the likes we've never seen before with possibly millions of deaths and either a facist or nazi takeover or communists with the help of Russia and China. But i know i think too far ahead
You haven't played the mod, I see, it misses south tyrol because, I assume, the war they had with russia that fragmented the empire and trieste in a nation at the start but gets a coup and is annexed into italy and that causes the diplomatic crisis that sends the Italian king to Austria just to get assasinated.
Every country with focus tree gets an nice bonuses, its not kaiserreich where 3 years and you still have no army, less then 15 civilian factories, etc. When every country is op, no one is op. If you want challange do a multiplayer game where i dont know half of the players would be in one faction and other half in another, i wounder if then will you complain about everything being too easy
Honestly Age of the Imperialism is a very fun mod but still needs a lot of polishing. Besides if you want something hard then get back to Equestria at War or you'll a stinky soyjack.
@tommykay I just wanted to request that in any future multiplayer games your refrain from giving any exposure to "grisha". It's been a long time since I have heard him mentioned on your channel and I should like you to keep it that way, having just looked him up out of curiosity I was shocked to find a Z on his shoulder ranting about Russian supremacy. This is just a heads up for the future should you create another large scale tournament. Platforming these sort of people is really not a good thing and I dont think this channel is one that would want that. Thanks, louie
I really like how puppets are the same colour as their masters. That’s a really nice touch
There's a standalone mod for that.
I think it's just called "Coloured Puppets"
I wish they were slightly lighter colour
The "communism, socialism, call it what you like. There's very little difference in the two." Is a reference to the song 'aint I right'.
It's a great song too
It’s a banger

Probably not
Well no, your not. And neither was the hillbilly who dose this piece of Cold War Propaganda.
This is actually a beautiful map compared to other alt-history mods.

Waited for this a long time, amazing. 🔥
I think Hoi4 in general just doesn't have a very good ai. When you put AI on veteran, they don't actually get smarter they just geta bunch of buffs

I think Red Flood does the “Hitler taking over Austria” concept better.
