    In the national focus tree, Realpolitik doesn't lead to Coastal Defense Plan. Bolivarian Alliance does. It just seems to be the best choice, not just for flavor. 16:45

      Yeah me too. Of all the countries that have a rich history of "what if's" I find the Mexicans to be the most interesting. Their history is quiet messy and they could have easily gone Fascist or Communist at any point even up until the 1960's. So I can see why the developers felt they (and the players) could have a lot of fun with Mexico :)

    Fantastic guide, as always. Just finished today (0.7% on steam have the Trotsky acheivement!!). Feels really good when you hit that peace deal with the soviets. For those who aren't as good as bitter and don't get as high of war score, the Germans tend to prioritize the northern territories, but I was able to get Sunset invasion by taking the southern Bessibara province connected to the black sea. Hitler basically ignored them for the first few turns, so it might be easier than the Baltic states if you're falling behind.

  • @idmb22
    @idmb22 3 роки тому +14

    Thanks for the guide.
    I still have not managed it due to RNG not being on my side, like... Spanish civil war always starts late and lasts a lot, even with my divisions encircling the Republicans. Trostky always comes late, very late, like 6 months late. "El Salvador" always joins Japan's Faction, so I decided to ignore it for now. By the time "I am ready", it is mid 1939. On top of that, the US never declares war on me after the Panama Canal incident and to make it even funnier, if I declare war on them, they join the Allies instantly.
    This achievement is very frustrating due to the very long time and setup it requires, let alone RNG then giving you the middle finger.

      The problem is you don't have enough guns to do that. The best time to use that strat is if you take the hit on pp gain and wait for Trotsky so you can also get Calles. You will get a civil war with the fat general but he isn't that hard to beat. To do it you disband all your divs so you can have enough guns to do the support the loyalists. Just makes sure you have 5 xp to build a 1 bat div you can spam at beginning of civil war. Just make sure they are ready to deploy when civil war starts and they are cav so you can hit the gaps quick.

    Thanks for the great guide! Still works with 1.12.8 (although US is slow to declare war & the war itself is significantly more difficult). However, Trotsky seems to always get killed around October 1941 (probably when the Soviets complete their corresponding focus & mission). This makes the "The New Home of the Revolution" basically unobtainable. Hard to capitulate USSR before this 😁

    You know, that's what I really like about these videos; they set you up in the beginning with focuses and decisions which saves me the hassle of having to experiment with 20 Ironman saves, and then the midgame can pretty much go however and a reasonably skilled player can make it work. It wouldn't be as fun if my game went EXACTLY the same as yours from start to finish.

    Allright guys, I thought I got good enough to try some of the more difficult achievements without guides, so I've been doing Commie Mexico runs, but it is difficult as hell, so after quite a few runs I went ahead and just checked Bitt3rSteel's vid on it. I followed the guide when I had the idea that the it might be more difficult on the current version of the game so I made it to the version right when Man the Guns came out and taking the USA went as smoothly as it did in the video, so if you're struggling to fight the USA as Mexico, I highly recommend putting the game version back. Not only does the USA not get nearly as many troops, but the old supply system also makes going for encirclements and stuff much easier.

    For a real challenge (since you always manage to do the challenges), try liberating morocco/algeria or tunisia, and create all the countries you can with the liberated country, it goes from taking Spain and Portugal as first objective, to annexing all your way to Pakistan. Algeria has some steel and has more factories, so it's the strongest start.

    - 21 units in total
    - deployed the 7 port guards
    - trained ~20 cav 12 width that moves by US avoiding fights but going for supply hubs as far off as Chicago and Miami. Parked cav on some hubs and the AI didn't even manage to send troops to fight them back.
    - war ended august 1939 without allied intervention.

    Also you don't need to take a Soviet state at the peace conference, you just need to occupy it during the war. So I think it is better to get military access in Germany when you are at war with USSR and make naval landings around Leningrad to get Sunset Invasion achievement.

    What's your opinion on using cavalry for this run? There is a cav genius for the high command, and given that only the first land doctrine was invested there won't be any bonuses leftout for the cavs. It also is very mobile so making the encirclements against the US troops much easier, which is mandatory anyways given how sturdy National Guards type infantries are. The cavs can later be changed to mechanised division whose IC would not be a problem at that point of the game because most of the US's industrial might will be at your hands.

    Bad idea, the US had left their isolationist policies for intervention ones and when I seized Panamá they immediately went to war against my 15 divisions on the border, while they were fully mobilized, luckily for me I had invited all of south america to the alliance so after stalling them down on the north their expeditionary forces (that ramped up my total divisions to 69) we pushed them back on a very long and boring struggle because it was just infantry vs infantry

    @alko253 2 роки тому

    There are two problems with this guide right now
    1. The border conflict after the Seize the Panama Canal (Operation Just Cause) does not lead to the US declaring war on you for sure (seems to be a 50/50). Two ways to work around this, either copy your save game before you try or justify against the Philippines (if you justify against the US directly they will join Allies and you will not win the war).
    2. Landing in Vladivostok does not work with the No Step Back supply mechanics. You will make it to Khabarovsk then the AI will stop you with a few divisions and you will die to attrition and you will not push the AI more than a province until you are out of org and even the US industry will not give you enough equipment to compensate for the attrition. To work around this, wait until Germany declares on the USSR ask them for military access and use the US fleet to do a naval invasion from Germany towards Leningrad and expand from there. You could also use the war between USSR and Finland to ask Finnlad for military access but this means you will need to be ready 6-9 months earlier. The USSR seems to be parking their subs in the sea tiles around Leningrad so make sure you escort your invasion.
    In general I would rather go for a espionage agency with 5 upgrades - 2 spies early, research and make 200 support equipment and try to get one collaboration government in the US, makes the war on the US easier and the extra compliance in the occupied provinces helps prepare for the war on the USSR.
    You will need trains for the war on the US. You do not need trucks for the war agains the US but you will need them in the USSR.

If you do not keep a constant line of supplies your units just wont move and you cant capture the victory points.
