I prefer hoi3 and wish hoi4 would end up being as complicated as this. My only condition is that they release new features one patch at a time so I can learn them one by one
@@ZemanTheMighty fair, I'm just here for the simple casual nature that's kind of disappearing. I wish the game rules could have an enable/disable feature for the newer stuff.
It's actually not that confusing, just different. Frankly, I prefer it over vanilla as vanilla is too simple. The vehicle designers are quite easy too, as you can actually can build historical ships but there's an option to simply use the 1:1 historical template of vehicles. In vanilla it's just "build factory, kill as many enemies as possible, win" In Black ice you need to actually keep your country alive making for a much more realistic feel to it. The industry looks much more confusing than it is.
@@commandergreetv753it’s actually very simple when you learn it just destroyers and light cruisers as hp and some torp spam and aa fire then 1/4 bigger ships for dpm to blow up the enemy’s.
“If I don’t know what I’m doing - the enemy doesn’t know either” seems to be an actual historical IJN doctrine. For example, when they have planned a raid in Indian Ocean, the allies knew Japanese plans before they even departed, but instead of following their own plans, IJN decided to send the assigned aircraft carriers to pursue a non-existent US fleet, where they hit the ground and had to postpone the operation due to the repairs, which actually allowed them to surprise the allies
Crazy to think that technically Japan is home to the manufacturer of such a reliable vehicle that Toyota technicals are a well used form of combat during the 21st century and a common theme in popular media
Yeah thats cool but in 2005 I broke into the museum of phalluses in iceland and stole a 7 in. Horse penis. They never caught me. I still have and use it today, although I ate the right testicle for a treat a couple years ago.
@@Panzerkampfwagen-IV-Ausf.H Every one who could, did. Alfa Romeo and FIAT provided the engines for Italian fighters at the time. Packard Motor Company and Ford made more aircraft engines between 1941-1944 than all the axis nations combined. Studebaker 3-axle trucks did not just carry the US army, they made up about half of all soviet trucks, and was the direct ancestor of the iconic Ural truck.
Hoi4 mod that turns it into campaign for north africa when? (You're going to need a coop in the multiplayer games to cook pasta for you. No pause microing the pasta)
Black Ice is a mod made by those extra schizo people who played HOI4 for 5,000 hours, decided it wasn't 'deep' enough, snorted ten lines of coke, downed three litres of off-brand energy drink, then made a mod.
One of the few UA-camrs keeping me on this godforsaken platform. I dont even watch bo anymore but college goes hard If colleg has 10000 fsns im 1 of them If college has 1 fans im him If college has no fans im dead If world is against college in against world Xollege 4 life 💪💪
Glad your doing the test version , loce what they did with all the resourece management. Please do another Germany with all of this stuff. They have quite a bit tweaked stuff, more research slots for resource managment.
playing japan in bice is like sycling exept the bike has no brakes steering only works half the time and the front weel can fall of anytime as its held in place with ducktape.
"you have now raw resources that you have to refine and to do that you need energy that you need build powerplants to upkeep and you also has grains to make rations to feed your people" as a kirby fan:this is scarier than that demonic butterfly
Honestly I love mods like Black Ice bc it makes you realize how many mooving parts there are in a war and how delusional Axis was thinking they could beat the Allies...
>"There is a lot more to warfare than digging trenches and lobbing artillery shells at the enemy" >Looks at major 21st century armed conflict >Digged trenches and lobbed artillery shells at the enemy >LooksAtCamera Amazing video as always man :)
Oh wow I remember helping to write the book for this theater in Black Ice. You learn that has bad as Germany is for issues like military branch rivalries or logisitic issues... Japan has the same. Just more so. ... Last I played the key strat was like 2 armor "divisions" of 1 light 1 medium tank w/ truck troops and lots of light infantry. You sprint into China and just keep pushing hoping you can outrun your logistics nightmares that the inevitable Red Army Guerillas will bring.
They probably use this mod to train politicians and generals. But in south korea they may use a bit more immersive version where you micro manage everything to the last screw. :D I remember when I played in hoi3. Such great times
The fact that presumingly large amount of your population and perhaps even military were starving for half of the game. Yet it seemed to be of no consequence, is somewhat amusing.
@@syiniydethepotatoe9486 I think I meant that when I heard Georges Bizet's Carmen opera. Aside from the hoi4 soundtrack I think that's the only music present.
Historically, the reason for the late Japanese mobilization at 4:26 is quite simple: After the firefight at the Marco Polo Bridge, the Japanese government under Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro initially reacted very hesitantly to the news of battle, with the intention of NOT(!) allowing the situation to further escalate, as Japan (who would've thought) wasn't prepared for a full-blown conflict with China. In contrast, there was the Kwangtung Army stationed in Manchuria, which had already shown strong initiative during the Japanese occupation of Manchuria in 1931. In order to escalate the conflict in China they once again deceiving the Japanese government about their true intentions by falsely claiming that Japanese troops in China were in grave danger. While the Kwangtung troups moved further and further into China the government found itself unable to stop their own troups or expose itself before world and Japanese public of having lost control of its own army, the Japanese government finally gave in and began mobilizing. So the Nationalist army officers finally prevailed by once again confronting the government in Tokyo with a fait accompli.
6:30 I know it was probably a joke but Siberia has loads of fossil fuels and mineral deposits, including iron and gold and other stuff It was more than a valid target for a resource starved island but the arctic wasteland part along with logistics and the size of the Red Army kinda sealed the deal lol
Blackice is both amazing and horrible. It's like being a kid with 10 dollars in your pocket inside the largest toy store in the world, where the cheapest toy is 11 dollars. The naval and tank designers are amazing in that you can more or less replicate historical designs with reasonable stats, but the economy, even for majors, is abymsal But world Ablaze having a more simplified naval designer and an extremely limited tank designer allows for closer-to-accurate historical production numbers (both for tanks and ships)
I really want to get into this mod, but how does the AI handle all of this, if it already struggles with vanilla hoi4? Like what's the fun if you are playing alone and the AI can't keep up with absolutely anything?
Okay now you gotta play the US and then maybe Britain or France (which I bet would be absolute torture) and then you would have completed a full lap around the earth.
Paradox taking notes on how much overcomplication is too much from the HoI4 modding community:

The man who couldn't micro the side of a barn is now trying out one of the most micro heavy mods I have seen
As awesome as super realist mods always look, it’s always crazy that hoi4 modders are even worse at game design then paradox is.
What do you mean even worse? They made HOI5 for free 💀
(Me with 50 hours on hoi4 and only have experienced playing as Germany): I think I’m ready for the big leagues

3100 hours and I still don't know how navy works😂😭

Do the people from your country sill call it burma?
Maybe it's Same As Abyssinia and Ethiopia
Your hoi4 videos are some of my favorite out there! They're the perfect balance between commentary, memes and showcasing the content.

Ok but when will they add water as a resource for italians to cook their spaghetti.
pasta point when?

Yooo my suggestion was turned into reality! Editing and commentary is a masterpiece, keep it up!!! I enjoyed this a lot.

keep making videos college the editing is good
0:01 Nah i think about kamikaze and a6m5 zero
likewise can't let my great grandparents down
you can actually change how much food your people get
I didn't notice that button till I was editing the video but tbf it's not in an intuitive place
This mod looks very cool. There is no way my computer can run it without 5 speed playing like 2 speed in 1936.
One of the few UA-camrs keeping me on this godforsaken platform. I dont even watch bo anymore but college goes hard
If colleg has 10000 fsns im 1 of them

Black ice looks like a mix of Hoi 4 and Victoria 3
I missed the first 2 minutes where you mentioned the upgrade on the industrial system of BLACK ICE! I love the upgrade!
Very nice, now let’s see an Italian play through
playing japan in bice is like sycling exept the bike has no brakes steering only works half the time and the front weel can fall of anytime as its held in place with ducktape.
I only think of 2 things when thinking of Japan:
1. Anime
2. BANZAI!!!
Yooo black ice is looking awesome, finnaly some complexity
The nost realistic mod indeed: "I dont know what im doing, the enemi wont neither"
College could have called this "0 food challenge" and it would have also worked lol. great vid
You earned a sub for naming your Army Group/Theater - Fighting A Land War In Asia!
Your videos are a work of art, they make my day soo much better :D
My guy you shoud shave the neck beard
Yo this video was really cool. If you happen to still have a little bit of mental stability left please play this mod more!
I love the black ice content college
"you have now raw resources that you have to refine and to do that you need energy that you need build powerplants to upkeep and you also has grains to make rations to feed your people"

I hate border conflicts in this game. Wish they made it a separate theater you slot 6 units in that covers all border conflicts.
Mao cooked up something good with this one 😤😤😤😤💀💀🗣🗣🗣

Honey wake up! College dropped another video torturing himself by playing an overly complicated japan mod!!

no
This mod looks awesome

HERE WE GO
Do Italy next.
i love your police squad reference.
Black Ice… still less complicated than TNO.
Not really, once you get the grip on how to do the economics (which isn’t that hard), it’s fun to play.
@BobbiusRossiusyeah it’s literally just sliders which you can move at any point.
when are you going to play world ablaze please man im begging you pls pls
watched this at midnight on new year
I have no life
College doing coke to win at HOI sounds really funny
You should do the ussr for the next time you do black ice.
I'm hyperventilating from the amount of things you need to click in this mod
What does this cracked marine template look like if I may ask?
I wanna see you playing as Brazil In BlackIce Test Version

8:00 absolutelly genius memehahahah
How did you puppet Indochina?

I never understood how so many people don't understand navy. it is so simple. Or maybe it is because I prioritise navy and airforce over the army?

Cool video, I hope you play the Soviets or British too
Whenever I think of Japan I think of unit 731
How did you handle the low org of the division templates

Btw your videos are fire, keep up the good work
May God bless you
Have you tried vanilla navy rework mod?
You should try the old world blues mod its a fallout fan mod but its really cool because it changes the game a lot.
