Ethiopia's Revenge: Fend off italy's advance, then take land until you get to the Mediterranean. Navally invade and annex Italy (annexing Germany is a fun bonus)
I found your channel quite recently, but I can already say I 100% love your content. Your videos, while ~40 minutes, are some of the few 40minute videos I can sit down and completely enjoy. Instead of screaming like an idiot and using joke strategies like the other HOI4 youtubers, you have a very subtle style of humor, and you use actual tactics and strategies to pass. You have such high quality videos, it’s really a shame you don’t have more of a following. Although I’ll probably get lost in the comments, I still just wanted to say that I love what you do, and hope you get the recognition you deserve. Keep up the hard work my dude.
jack black they were good for a bit, but I think they just got too boring and repetetive. They make videos to make money, dragging out the video in any way possible (for instance, isp's intros are ~2 minutes long), and after a while nothing really stands out. Also, Alex has kind of a God complex. The only other hoi4 youtuber I've found that I can sit through is DrewDurnil, and that's due to his editing.
You just named everything I believe... I used to watch ISP and AlexTherambler but got bored of the same daily content. I used to watch and still watch DrewDurnil because he's entertaining and doesn't stretch out his videos. Even some of his videos I can't sit through but they're a lot better than the same stale sarcastic humor that Alex and ISP have. Edit: I stopped watching them a while ago so I have no idea of Alexs' God Complex, what do you mean by a god complex? Does he think himself higher than others currently?
jack black d-dad? Are you back? As for Alex, I had tried to watch him. However, he had a vid called "Italy Loses it" or something like that while on stream the Italy player protested. Throughout the video Alex had continuously shut down the player, and put himself in a better light (even though he had used his Fame to take advantage of the other players). I went into the video expecting the Italy player to start screaming, but came out thinking "Alex is kind of a dick..."
I can clearly imagine that situation in my mind haha. Also as an Italian myself I don't take offense to the "Italian Hate" but find it quite repetitive when it's every video in the hoi4 community.
Tissaye If this guy could literally win and beat the axis as the U.S.S.R without an army, he can take over all the Scandinavian countries as Iceland :)
Im Latvian im really thanfull for playing such a small country it may not mean alot to you, but its alot for me and all of the oder latvians watching this.
Amazing, I've never played or even watched this game. But it just looks interesting, your commentary is just on point. I'm also from Latvia, haha. Keep up the great work!! 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
Yello a country with 1 million people whose ethnicity isn’t even the entirety of the country because Russia influences it like a puppet on strings if it wasn’t in any alliance it would get crushed by its neighbors besides Estonia
This is my favourite episode so far! I really enjoyed it. It’s crazy to see the Latvians take Russia. All though this will probably never happen in real life, this was very interesting to see ;) Love from Latvia and keep it up!
[EU4] As byzantium take Rome, Jerusalem and Venezia without retaking your cores. GL and cheers you've really stepped up your gameplay and video editing skills :)
The not making certain allies is exactly how the challenge should work. Every really hard start I've seen done on UA-cam they made it trivial through use of huge allies.
It is easy with pretty much all German states because lots of them are the same size and once you have invaded one german state, you are pretty much god as all german states have lots of manpower and stuff.
commie china is actually surprisingly easy as if u dont join nationalist china's faction then they dont annex all of the warlords and you can gang bang them with japan and all it takes is one province to be annexed to make you OP and then just gobble all of the warlords up. Later you can invade Japan with the soviets which is the hardest part but not too hard.
those would be hard yes but with a navy not as much. After japan they wouldnt be too bad.... except philipines. and No I'm not Prussian but my family comes from Berlin... so not Prussia proper but lands that were Prussian at a time and the capital.
Its ironic for me as a Serb when playing EU 4 with Serbia mostly when the ottomans beat me back i defeat them in Kosovo this happened 5 times hahahahaha
Very nice as always. Just a little tip to win peace conferences in SP. The key to making other countries give up their score is to block all their border access to the country you want to occupy and to block every port in the country you want to occupy. I'm 99% sure that is enough. If you really want to be sure also block all possible sea access. At least that used to be the way since the last time I played (about three months). Doubt that PDX reintroduced bordergore but you never know with those scallywags. Another fine thing about annexing puppets is that you also inherit the (manpower of the) divisions they produced. Considering how many divisions best puppet Mother Russia produces that could easily be several hundred thousand extra manpower for you if you just delete those.
Are any of these even challenges any more? Edit: I mean by this that taureor is much better than a lot of UA-cam’s in (single player) so he is so good these are not even challenging for him.
Oh wow :'( The first country you annexed just had to be where I was born. Do one on Estonia next, I know it's probably be very similar to this but I want my country to have it's.moments, something it never had.
Idea for a challenge in EU4: start as Navarra, ally someone strong , Castile and Aragon before the Iberian wedding fires (gold medal). If the Iberian Wedding Fires, beat Castile Aragon and Neaples and form spain (silver medal). If Neaples becomes independent, own all provinces in the world except the one that are under the control of Neaples by 1445
Thats actually not that hard. The first few years are the hardest but if you survive you can colonialize the shit out of north armerica. You can completly conquer Mexico in a few years and then use the gold and troops to conquer the british.
it was called the EMpire of the thunder cross, because thunder cross is an ancient Latvian folk sign that Germany just so happened to choos as their swastika
Great video. I still can't help being bummed about the fact you can actually do this in HOI4. Wish it was a harder game like previous HOI games or EU games.
Anyone else thinks this guy is bob ross of hoi4
Ironic Drew durnil did that. Still, yes.
His angelic voice puts me to sleep.
Let’s make a happy little puppet state
This is correct, sometimes I come back to these videos when I'm tired but can't sleep
the joy of puppeting

I like your style, but it should be called "Selassie's Revenge."

sounds like latvia

The Knights to the kingdom of Jerusalem!
I can imagine everyone in the world’s jaw drop as they witnessed the city of Riga become Latvia and then just straight-up takes over Russia.

Form Germany as Ryukyu
It is easy with pretty much all German states because lots of them are the same size and once you have invaded one german state, you are pretty much god as all german states have lots of manpower and stuff.

Nice, didnt get bored while watching this. Usually I do with other UA-camrs! Subscribed!

Indeed Stalin, indeed.
In eu4 you could try to form Rum (it is a country which can only be formed as Karaman (Anatolian minor))
Great video im glad u did this challange!
As odoyev, have more development than muscovy and lithuania's development combined.
Just found your channel & subscribed. You achieve a great balance of detail and brevity. Please keep up the good work.
In Eu4 as holland unite all places with dutch and flemish culture before 1500
I fricking love the HOI4 challenges,shit, I fricking love this channel. MOAR!
Challenge idea: Annex west coast of USA as Japan before 1939
I’m a newer viewer, I recently found your channel off of the Cuba video. I find your videos helpful and with awesome ideas
The Great Latvian Empire!
Oh wow :'(
The first country you annexed just had to be where I was born.
Do one on Estonia next, I know it's probably be very similar to this but I want my country to have it's.moments, something it never had.

Idea for a challenge in EU4: start as Navarra, ally someone strong , Castile and Aragon before the Iberian wedding fires (gold medal).

Thats actually not that hard.
The first few years are the hardest but if you survive you can colonialize the shit out of north armerica.
You can completly conquer Mexico in a few years and then use the gold and troops to conquer the british.
Well done once again sir!

it was called the EMpire of the thunder cross, because thunder cross is an ancient Latvian folk sign that Germany just so happened to choos as their swastika
