Most used parts of this one, (Ie. Maxed ExpertAI, or the super buffing of Nations), this one just combines all of them which makes the game an absolute chore.
Well there’s a mod with different settings, I think he did the middle one on his last vid, so he would still be able to go up one to make it harder. Hoi also has the in game settings which I think he tweaked in this

@@rebelgaming1.5.14 mods like Equestria at War does that but they hardwire the AI a little bit. AI wont design complete garbage and some decisions will check the AI for like modern tanks or Jets, if they research a thing the decisions wil simply give them the proper template for free. They are also pretty well designed, with start date being 1007 you can play up to 1017 with no problem. But its still more of a workaround at best.
@lebawsski probably true think this literally happened in RTS but personally I would love to be able to not have to coordinate friends schedules and get an hour a week lol. AI is always way too easy or boosted to the point if you dont do this one specific strat, you just lose and random players are always insanely sweaty and leave the very second the one strat they've been doing since 2013 didn't work perfectly.
Attacking Italy was a bad idea. Should've let them attack Greece and Yugo to start a war with the allies. He could've attacked Italy from both sides of the Alps after beating France, but honestly he could've failed long before beating France.
nah he should play aussa with black ice and all countries +100% production and he can't use his arms and legs and the screen is black and white and scrambled and upside-down that's more fair
If you are wondering I played soviet union against max difficulty germany, after losing i tagswitched to germany they had 100% efficiency + 100% efficiency cap buffs, and for reference germany gets a 50% buff of efficiency from custom game rules, germany also had 196 light tank divisions for some reason, no medium no heavy just light
He went for the other exclusive focus that gives him early war eco Why Idk Maybie he felt that doing the align focuses would take away way too much time when needed to focus on air , so he got an early boost to his eco instead to buildup his own army
It's sorta sad that the only practical ways to make HOI4 hard is either make it a Eastern Front Quartermaster Simulator like BlackIce, or just stack insane buffs onto the AI. You still can just do the old reliable, make a strong defense, let the AI attack it until they run out of manpower and you win for free no matter how much production you go up against, this is why honestly there should be a rework to the economy, manpower and defending, being in a long, drawn out war where you don't make any progress should make your economy go boom, which eventually results in political unrest which can spiral into all the crisis events you see. Tactics cold be used to rework the way attack and defense interact, even stacking perfect combat width org walls with full entrechment should be able to fall to a more skilled general attacking with compareable divisions, right now Tactics are often just minimal offensive buffs, or are guerilla tactics which is just plain OP on the defensive. I would absolutely not mind if they changed tactics entirely, "normal" tactics such as charge, and the defaults such as attack, defense, bridge defense, bridge attack etc. would be available to every general and provide minimal buffs, making it so that a level 1 general won't just give less buffs to their units, but also just not allow these units to be particularily efficent. You could make it that masterful tactics such as defense in depth or blitzkrieg are limited to high level generals and certain traits. For example, Modern Blitzkrieg could provide a -50% tactics defense to the enemies while its active and 20% tactics attack and movement, however it would require the general to be level 6, the hardness of the division to be above 50%, and the general to also bear the "Panzer Leader" trait. Furthermore, since generals utilize the character system that was added in NSB, you could easily make dynamic events to where when one of your divisions get encircled, the general of the assigned has a chance to get trapped and captured by the enemy, here you can either do an exchange with an enemy general to get your general back, or utilize the spy agency from LaR to free them. Okay, long enough rant.
The biggest problem with attacking Italy is the terrain. You can't flood one mountain with 10 divisions at once. While it may seem insane to fight the allies the lack of defensive features other than rivers and the maginot line would make it easier to take. Though keep in mind France gets rid of the disjointed govt so they dont cap anywhere near as fast as normal.
This man is playing this game for over half a decade now, and still doesn't know that integrated war economies makes free puppets out of Hungary and Romania. And he talks sh!t about us...
The 50% org isn’t an exploit, it’s meant to represent the soldiers being surprised and unprepared for a bunch of enemy soldiers dropping on top of them, it deorganizes them
Actually, the best strat for me are APCs + SPA. It takes low damage, gives zero fucks against forts and it MELTS infantry. Not so good versus tanks, cheaper tho. Available to build in 1937, unlike good mediums.
@NachrichterTheGood Instead of listening to tommy how about you look into what the org debuff actually is. The entire "state" that the paratroopers drop into gives an org debuff to enemy troops in that state. So instead of dropping literally ontop of enemy troops on the front line (which won't get the debuff unless the paratroopers actually land) just go one tile back. Two at most. And drop one suicide paratrooper in every state or slam in a bunch of them to encircle and take supply hubs. I know I'm a true map gaming chad
Tommy is so washed. Every one of these challenges he messes up the difficulty, historical ai, or does something stupid. Can he not just play a major in multiplayer at this point?
German focus tree is good. Honestly the countries that have like 200 focuses with hidden events can piss right off. means that if you ever want to play them, you have to look at a guide, or have played them a few times before. its dogshit.
His designs aren’t good the AI’s are just shit The AI usually only just uses one machine gun while Tommy likely uses one cannon and 2 heavy machine guns
Calling it that Tommy will immediately complain about difficulty and unfairness despite intentionally make it difficult and unfair
@@AL-lg7wbhe actually did lol
he only does that with mods that market themselves as difficult

How many difficulties are the hardest difficulties!? Tommy has played like 10 of these already.

if I am not mistaken this is most of those challenges added together

The first 4x strategy game to make the game harder by making the AI smarter instead of absurd buffs will make a bajillion dollars.
No cause then ppl will bitch and complain.
The day I can play against an AI that can competently design equipment without shitting out 5 trillion different Variants will be the day I die happy.

Yeah yeah Alex now go play some mobile stuff.
Tommy: "Expert AI, Germany, Historical"
Also Tommy: Invades Italy and Hungary...
Ignores the Allies...
Invades Soviets in 1945...
Historical = Not Kaiser
Historical Focuses turned on is what he meant.
you know that tommy is angry when he stars speaking full german

“WHY IS THIS SO HARD”
15:54 Germans in 1945 describing the 8 year old battalions of Berlin:
my man sitting on 500 army XP with half a doctrine throwing tanks away in battles.
Never change tommy.
Now do it in Black Ice
36:13 "cuz i wanna save my sanity"
Bro is attacking into mountain with tanks ? I’m literally losing brain cells watching this
The spanish civil war maaaan thaaaat wasssssss gooooooooood
no you cant ginger man
Endsieg 1945 Germany, expert and Soviet's and Allies's power at maximum is more difficult than that mode
nah he should play aussa with black ice and all countries +100% production and he can't use his arms and legs and the screen is black and white and scrambled and upside-down that's more fair
Expert ai isn't compatible with endsieg bro💀
When i played 1945 i found out that im not good at game at all and it truly hurt my feelings(im playing this fucking game for 4 years)
No, you can not.
Tommy: makes the game as unfairly difficult as possible
Also Tommy when playing: WHY CAN’T I DO ANYTHING!!!?!
2 minutes when I first opened YT. Tommy the Elder has blessed me
"historical germany" invades italy
Shoulda woulda coulda
Best hoi4 Spanish Civil War I've ever seen
25:10 got me 😂
Let me guess, he's going to say this "this will be easy and i'm going to win this easily" and then he quits cause of no air.
Not quite, he even knew it’ll be hard and complains it’s hard

2:40 Why not pupetting Hungary and Romania ? They would be puptes so he can ally them, and with Romanianhe has fuel and with Hungary alumminum.
He went for the other exclusive focus that gives him early war eco
Why
Idk
Maybie he felt that doing the align focuses would take away way too much time when needed to focus on air , so he got an early boost to his eco instead to buildup his own army
put it all on tommy ragequitting
probably the safest bet ive ever made ngl
On god
I like how Tommy feels like a total badass when he traps the ai and encircles them
Now play as Luxembourg in this difficulty.

Tommy takes Italy's backshots for 30 minutes:
Holy shit the "what the hell are you wearing?" from Tommy made my spit my water out lmao
7:40 thank god he used his own brain and decided against puppeting Hungary and Romania for free including 16 mil factories
This man is playing this game for over half a decade now, and still doesn't know that integrated war economies makes free puppets out of Hungary and Romania. And he talks sh!t about us...
It was a rule that he couldnt be allied to non puppets, the focus makes them into puppets yes, but no immidietly, therefore he didnt
tommy keeps talking shit to his own viewers and excpects everyone to like him 2024 tommy aint the same as 2022
The 50% org isn’t an exploit, it’s meant to represent the soldiers being surprised and unprepared for a bunch of enemy soldiers dropping on top of them, it deorganizes them
Algorithmus
Tommy you should use special forces doctrine mountaineer scouting for tanks to attack mountains or marine doc for landings
Tommy should try this but with the Black-Ice mod
Actually, the best strat for me are APCs + SPA. It takes low damage, gives zero fucks against forts and it MELTS infantry. Not so good versus tanks, cheaper tho.
Available to build in 1937, unlike good mediums.
Now you should do elite , impossible difficulty on endsieg 1944
I’m watching Tommy again after not watching for about a year. Has the mega campaign happened?
that spanish thing XDD tommy trying to be serious for a moment (impossible)
One day Tommy will realize that the encirclement penalty only shows up when the units are occupying a single province with no neighboring ones
Tommy: "You wanna play exploits? We play fucking exploits."
Tfw you boost every country and somehow not expect them to exploit WITH WHAT YOU GAVE THEM
Another day of asking.
Try this mod: Hearts of Iron IV Discord's Specially Designed AI.
On historical, Good luck.
I wish i was still as excited about singleplayer as him, holy T_T
Ahh tommy. Using paratroopers to drop literally on the tile with 5 units. It's AI Dommy you drop behind the front line. 😮
Try to listen to what Tommy says? He got doctrine that reduces enemy’s org on the tile that paras land
