the little details like poland invading prussia as a normal player would, the oversized gibraltar, the giant unrealistic soviet encirclements, that one french state next to the alps that always goes free, and more make this a masterpiece
It’s not just casualties tho it’s so much. Land taken, ships sunk, lend leases, aircraft shot down and so much more. If you don’t get a lot of war score it’s your fault. You didn’t do a good job macro. You probably only focused on army and accepted lend lease.
I remember that brief time you could get all the war score as Venezuela or Romania because you just lend lease all your oil to the other axis powers and do nothing else.
i love the rare occasions were nazi germany somehow survives its defeat, then manages to get other powerful nations into the still existing axis and makes a steiner inspired counter attack eventually leading to the endsieg
Damn, that's a really good one! I mean, it not only looks good visually, but also conveys the shitty sides of the game mechanics very well (especially the after-war borders shown here are way too realistic to be just a joke). It would only be better if the video showed the Italian naval invasion into Norway or the Allied landing in Albania right in the middle of the ongoing mess without further strategic development.
Flashbacks of Romanian marines randomly dropping in Labrador, snaking all the way down to Washington DC and ratting it out for 8 months before USA produces even a single division. Of course, they lose their entire manpower pool in North America and fittingly get naval invaded through Bulgaria.
@@zempov its all fun in games tell the guy playing Hungary was to busy trying to push soviets and did not notice until he looks back at and realizes half the country just got rolled over because all the troops were on the front line
0/10, the peace conference isn't chaotic enough. You missed the uk taking one province in the middle of germany, yugoslavia having bavaria, and latvia being somehow released as a neutral
Such a hilariously accurate encapsulation of how the average AI HOI4 game goes, lol. Naval invasion spam, failed sealion, Low Countries or Denmark getting Germany overrun by the Allies, Soviet AI being terrible, German AI insisting on capitulating Russia even when its losing the rest of Europe, wack peace deal, all good stuff 🤣
Germany has declared war on Polish Poland! Polish Poland has called The Democratic Republic of Egypt as our enemy in the Indonesian-Mexican War! Austria-Hungary-Austria has joined the Little Entente Bonapartist France has joined the Sixth Internationale Mongolia has declared war on The Republic of Manchuria The Republic of Manchuria has called Japanese Raj as our enemy in the Canadian-Romanian War! Soviet Union has called Vaspid Estonia-Belarus SSR as our enemy in the Algerian Civil War!
As someone who has played HOI4 long enough to get the references, and studied the whole XX century in its littlest details, I didn’t know if to cry or to laugh during the entire duration of the video.
On my first playthrough, I speedruned getting into the Axis becoming the second Axis member in like 1937 (then Italy, Hungary, my puppet Polish Lithuania, legionnare Bulgaria and Fascist Romania), making a puppet Lithuania but forgetting to annex it completely, somehow Japan creating its own faction, gettin to a World War with the Allies in about 1938 over czechoslovakia, getting the USA involved, fighting with the damn Baltic Alliance or something (Finland Sweden Denmark and Lithuania), fighting the Comintern on the soviet front in 1940 (they attacked me) and losing the African Front alongside Italy completely. Truly a HOI4 experience.
In my first game as the Reich, I fought with Luxembourg for several years, after which I attacked Poland, justifying the purpose of the war, started a war with the Allies and eventually turned into a French occupation zone.
WW2 according to Civ 4 - Germany and Russia split Poland, which takes 3 months to fall - Stalemate until Germany declares war on Norway and only takes Denmark - Germany invades Low Countries, who swap back and forth between German and French occupation - Canada takes Kiel for some reason - Italy takes Luxembourg for some reason - Finland takes Leningrad - Germany declares war on USSR, instant regret - US joins the war with jet fighters and Abrams tanks, quickly conquers German Rhineland - US and Russia scramble to get the last German cities - annoyingly long campaign to take Italy because no one has transports in place to go to Sicily or Sardinia
WWII began in 1940 when the diplomatic crisis between the Central, European Alliance and the Soviet Union escalated into full-blown war. Because the United Kingdom opted to declare war on both the Union of Soviet Republics and the German Republic, much of the fighting was done in the Middle East. While German troops were making steady progress on the European Front, the British had just finished conquering Iraq and Iran, and were ready to invade the USR through the Caucuses and Central Asia. In 1942, after much retreating, the Soviets realized they couldn't win this war and surrendered. This left just Britain vs. Germany. The Mexican Soviet Republic had recently joined the Allies for some reason, and had been successfully expanding into Central Asia. In 1943, Operation Sea Lion was commenced and Germany invaded the British mainland. London was captured within a week, and with that, Britain surrendered. The Treaty of London forced Winston Churchill to abdicate in favor of something stupid like Walter White, and stripped Britain of many of its colonies for some reason.
This is so good but you forgot the Germany player invading Denmark but never bothering to get Norway, and the British naval invasion of Schleswig-Holstein lmao
A good thing the algorithm made me stumb on your channel. It's a pleasant discovery I didn't expect. I can't believe you only have 600 subscribers. Keep up the good work and your dedication will pay!
this is really good you're just missing the part where German troops forget to go into Crimea and then Soviet troops are just walking around Ukraine hanging out
Can you guys please stop watching this video 😂

Sir, what should we do with the germans?
Make 2 democratic versions of germany, and let the facist one stay in polish regions.
And give the polish one iraq and syria
That's full German region it was later given to poland to repay what Germany did

The Italians taking two tiles is just incredibly accurate
In my games, it's the opposite, Italy takes the southern half of France and then Vichy cucks them out of it
When I play they just loose land.
Italy took 50% of the ussr in my game ngl

Thanks for the accurate naval invasion sound. Winston Churchill personally ordered it to be so loud so that he could hear it from his house.

The soviet player was absolutely awful, but I appreciate the detail of encircling the swampland.
this is about single player tho
@@zempov oh, then fair, Soviet AI is absolutely abysmal.
@@ZephanyZephZephSo at least one thing is historically accurate
@gratefulguy4130 so awful they forgot they lost in 1941 and wound up taking Berlin instead
I love that you included the Gibraltar that is expanded by 70 times its size into Spain, good job
Adolf watching the new German colonies in the middle east: *Absolute victory*
Plus North-eastern Italy and Italian Africa
This is way too accurate
edit: THANK YOU FOR 900 LIKES!!!!!!
Especially Germany annexing all of Poland cause the soviets don’t declare war on time just to give it to the soviets
Not accurate at all but a possible scenario nonethless.
This is how the average hoi4 playthrough with germany looks like probably
@@zempov its not, but as u said a possible scenario, just not the average
@@Idoexist._.Stop crying..this is the average... there are way more noobs in HOI4 than there is pros...stop whining

You forgot to add that Athens is no longer conquerable, thanks to the ingenious supply system.
You forgot about the bugging crimea Front and then the Soviets sweep in and encircle and entire amry

- Germany declares war on USSR, instant regret
- US joins the war with jet fighters and Abrams tanks, quickly conquers German Rhineland
- US and Russia scramble to get the last German cities
- annoyingly long campaign to take Italy because no one has transports in place to go to Sicily or Sardinia
the moment of silence for the peace deal though

this was honestly amazingly accurate u got a sub from this!
Thank you m8
It is the shame that game is out for more than 7 years and we still don't have peace deal DLC
This is so good but you forgot the Germany player invading Denmark but never bothering to get Norway, and the British naval invasion of Schleswig-Holstein lmao
Why does the surrender sound sound like ice cubes shaking in cup?
Forgot the part where Greece holds Athens till 1943 due to garbage supply for axis
They say it's WWII but the peace treaties are pure WWI.
You'd expect the devs fixed at least the only big relevant peace deal in the game after over 8 years of development - NOPE
There is a lesson to be learned here: This is why you MUST take the Benelux otherwise you get an easy Allies comeback.
although rarely people use Napoleon's technique (very difficult to push because of logistics)
But the peace confederation is 99% accurate
You forgot the British Naval Invasion of Hannover
The renaming of stalinggrad und leningrad to hindenburg und luddendorf is a nice touch

I expected the peace deal part to be even worse.
Sea Lion always succeeds when the British take a pit stop for repairs though.

Germany player didn't do his collabs, naughty naughty.
Germany succeeded in their goal, no more Israel
The peace deal just gave me nightmares.
Italy's first offensive had me dying
Mostly accurate however Greece never surrenders. Italy is always stuck a tile before Athens
The historical focus in hoi4 becomes more of a non-historical focus closer to 43 💀

800 hours & still don't know how does the navy work💀
Omg the Sovets capitulation 70% moment got me just right there
He forgot berlin being taken by australia because you were too busy trying to capitulate russia

The Benelux do be the underrated GOAT tho
You forgot the Allies sending 90% of their army to Greece😊
German rich getting left is too real
"we cannot take everything that would be too risky"
You forgot about the ai partitioning a country into 3 (they are all the exact same)
i like how the uk casually took french territory in the peace conference
Italy would've collapsed when the allies took Sardinia
the players forgetting to invade north was too accurate
You forgot the part where end of the peace deal, there are both France's
I love how they just forget to invade Denmark or Norway.
