- I recently rated La Resistance as one of the best DLCs in the game, and A LOT of people disagreed. This video is to show you how wrong they are, and why you need to focus on your spies to help you win games.

----------------------- 😁About Me😁 -----------------------
My name is Hammo and I stream on Twitch! I play a variety of "map games" and strategy games, but my favourite game by far is Hearts of Iron IV.
I love this game and it's complexity, strategy and historical focus, but these are also reasons people can find it hard to get into Hoi4. The endless spreadsheets, statistics, buffs and debuffs can be overwhelming without someone to show you the ropes, which is where this channel comes in!
I will be creating and posting beginners guides, tutorials, walkthroughs, tips and tricks videos, just about everything I can to get you playing and enjoying Hearts of Iron IV as much as I do!

Thanks for the tutorial one thing you didn't mention but I still learned from this is that you can replace spies I somehow never knew you could just get rid of your old ones 😅
Oh my god how could I forget this 😂 yes great call! Especially helpful if you need spies of a certain nationality!
@@hammotimee I still learned it here so thanks again
@@ChalleonPlays oh well glad to hear it 😂
Honestly, I think this is the most fun and immersive implementation of a spying subgame I have ever seeen in a game. Certainly much more fun that those abstract implmementations of prior HOI games. Looking forward to "Espiocracy" though.
The spies are sick and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise!
One of the most anticipated tutorials! Thanks a lot!!
You're so welcome! I hope it helps!
Honestly the spy system help me through the game so much as a new player, I was playing Japan with entire world decolonized and pacifying the natives by rooting out the resistance let me get so much resources and manpower I otherwise wouldn’t have, I know collaboration government is a thing but sometime I just don’t have the time and with Prince of Terror combination I could pacify the locals with only Local Police and some horse MP garrison.
Spies are goated
S-pills and "...a small chance of your spies un-aliving themselves" is a brilliant bit of writing to get around the stupid YT filters! Well done!
Thank you! Glad someone appreciated that haha
I remember some UA-camr called them headache tablets once 🤣
This helps so much, thanks so much!
Thank you! Glad to help!
thank you man you are one of the best about hoi4 tutorials this is really helpful
Thank you so much man!
Thank you, keep going
I ain't leavin 😤
In solo games, does the a.i use spies? Great lesson, I have this mod but couldn't find a good explanation of what to do with them!
They sure do, but I'm not sure to what purpose/extent? I don't know if they build collabs or anything like that or just use the Intel bonuses
@@hammotimee Playing last night , I caught a spy! But don't know what they were doing. I assume building the network for the bonuses, I think democratic countries can't do colab govts.
@@johnp4000 yeah unsure! Maybe the steal tech? 👀
Can't stop hearing the theme to Spies Like Us. But then again, I'm old.
It makes me think of spy kids or Casablanca haha
You went both old school and new school at the same time. Nice.
@@jimberry7385 why thank you
Do you start your intelligence agency at the very begining of every game? 5 civilian factories seems a very high cost on the early game to me
It depends! If I'm a minor nation, probably not, as I wouldn't ever get more than 2 maybe 3 spies max, so I'd likely be using them to take away planning bonus or stealing blueprints. If I'm a major that can build collabs, I usually work on them from the start!
@@hammotimee
How late for a major nation is “late enough to handicap you”, assuming you’re not planning to bumrush by 1940
Just found this AT. Good video. I've been doing it all wrong.
Happy to help!!
the spies are really useful, especially against someone like germany or soviets, its either only recieving factories or both that and fast capitulation
(i watched you only once and i have you all over youtube)
Absolutely! And I've held frontlines by taking away planning bonus too
What mod does spy network appear in
The La Resistance DLC
12:33 certified Russia moment
Hits a bit to close to home right now hey? 😂
I like spies, and I dont think people overlook it the issue is its just a pain in the ass XD like trying to manage naval its just such a pain especially for certain nations that its just more enjoyable to ignore it or just do the basics.
I am in the basics camp, I max out decryption and various defensive upgrades, and just never use my spies except MAYBE to setup a collab government. Otherwise back to counter intel they go.
Yeah I feel you, just gotta have it be part of your usual repotoirre haha
Is this spy agency a mod?
No mods! It's from La Resistance!
imagine not using collaboration government on soviet union
Absolutely insane behaviour honestly
The other aspect is: Spying is Fun!
It sure is!
It's the easiest.
For some!
this is really boring
Thank you!
