I’m not gonna lie, I think editor has fallen off a little? I’m not sure he understands what made tommykay so entertaining in the past. Firstly, seeing the actual combat, as in showing big battles, places he got stuck, great success, but in depth. It kinda feels like big game events are sort of just zoomed through, like we get a 5 second clip and it’s over. Secondly, what I feel made Tommykay so Tommykay, were all the side tangents. All the dumb little stories from his personal life that he would throw in, the rat from his dorms in china, the massive visceral painful poop he just endured, something dumb his kid did at school. I just feel like we never hear those anymore in these videos, it just more feels like a speed conquering montage that doesnt really allow you to attach to it emotionally. For example, I watched his stream series semi recently where he played historical Germany only using historical templates, and watching it live i felt so invested, as I actually watched the planning for the invasion of Cyprus, the tug of war for Kursk. I’m not asking for the videos to become vods, but it just feels like they lack the connection that used to define them.
yeah i was insanely disappointed at the no peace deal part i remember as a kid watching tommykay talk about his ex gf julia or something anyways i really liked that i feel you bro i miss it to
you guys realize the editor had to squeeze three full games into this video right? Maybe start watching the streams instead of the videos... which literally just sum up the stream🤣
@@michael9959 And there goes the whole point "whoooooooooooosh" flying over your head while you write this completely pointless comment that didn't solve anything nor help anyone.
I don’t think this would be the move for hoi5. They have enough resources that they don’t need this autistic stuff to make the game harder. They need to fix their AI and core systems
The issue with Black Ice seems to be that even though you have almost unlimited options when it comes to your build diversity and army setup, you are effectively forced into mountaineers and other terrain-focused units only or you lose, end of story. The devs put tremendous work into giving you such a vast toolkit to work with, but then immediately made it all redundant and useless with one single modifier. Sucks to see, man.
I mean that's completely dependent on who/where you're fighting. Like obviously that's somewhat the case if you're fighting in China or other more mountainous countries, but if you're playing on the Eastern Front most of the fighting is in plains and there aren't really mountains until you reach the Caucasus or Urals.
Pushed u or demand more forces more options. Il can say that even Germany in WW2 had mounteneirs they. Had them didnt need them that much but had them. Specialised units were a thing in WW2. Look at this game Japan or well this video it feels like he has 4 marines 😂
one thing about black ice is that the difficulty ends up restricting playstyle, it's fun and brain stimulating in it's own way but there's definitely a handful of actual possible strategy you can use to actually succeed in the game. it kinda turns a strategy game into a brain tease puzzle
I agree to an extend, but there are a lot of playstyles that only become viable because of the restrictions as well. That is most noticeable as a minor on the defense or in a multiplayer lobby, where players do stuff like targeting specific resources. There is a bunch of pretty whacky stuff you can try and succeed with that just wouldn't work in vanilla tbh. I once played in a multiplayer lobby with this mod, as Finland. One mod developer and his mates were playing the Soviets. I focused very hard on elite infantry and Assymetric warfare, pretty much no investment into anything else. Managed to stonewall the Soviets from the Winter War to '45 and ended up being the only Axis player that won the match, because I used a focus to switch to the allies when Berlin fell lol.
One thing black ice has done better than any other mod and I would love to see is the importance of logistics, armies need food, clothing, transports, resources to fuel industry, electricity, water, ammunition, and tucks and transports quadrupole of what is in game. Most armies and battles in history were ones of logistics where the outcome of the war (especially in WW2) was predicated on resources and logistics.
Would really LOVE more black ice singleplayer. this one one was real good and it feels like black ice brings out a lot of awesome stuff from Tommy. But generally my favourite Tommy videos are either when the game is really hard and tommy has to think and use strategy or roleplay in single-player campaigns like Ck3 GOT and Bannerlord.
Hoi4 wouldnt even need to be more complicated but having to design different templates against cities, mountains and shores would be great. Having one template to grind everything makes planning more boring. Also defending should not just be about stacking infantry nor attack just about tanks.
3:21 man says "rush research" like he's never seen a tommykay before. its like telling him to do industry first, or telling him not to do something the way the mod developer wants him to. tell me you've never watched tommykay without telling me you've never watched tommykay.
clarkson started farming to dodge tax i dont think he represents the average farmer and if you have a net value(not land value) on a farm of 3 million then you are not a minor farm. This topic is so controversial but i cant see any way for this to effect the humble farmer. it only effect the large scale industrial farmers.
It was just a matter of time, first you hate it... then you come back and want more.. and in the end BICE is Life :) also Tommy BICE is 25 width :/ so dont say 40 width tank divisions

yh they have. its why tommys views dropped. started a long while ago and most videos are anticlimactic now

France:
Dark Souls of HOI4 😭😭😭
Balls of Iron 5
Cunny of iron 4
Yeah, seeing Hoi IV UA-camrs suffer through Black Ice reminds me why I'll never play it.
Dark souls isnt that complex its just hard isnt it?
This would be a great HOI5 but the problem is that for new players even HOI4 is an extreme learning curve.
I don’t think this would be the move for hoi5. They have enough resources that they don’t need this autistic stuff to make the game harder. They need to fix their AI and core systems
@@chef4025 they need to add more autistic features to filter out the 60-110 IQ midwits that keep buying shitty DLC
@@chef4025youll get a barebones game that will need 4 years of dlcs to be good instead, the paradox classic
@@chef4025I think they are starting to fix AI you can feel improvements with the new update (not that its great now just less terrible)
I bought HOI4 and I'm afraid to install it
3:02 you'd want advice from Aldrahill. They have done a ton of historical black ice videos
He slaps
I can’t stand his voice personally, he speaks way too American when he is British.

not really he didn’t invade russia

Hoi with this mod completly loses its sandbox like options, which is the most fun thing in the game, for me.

I'm glad you were able to overcome the challenge and have fun with this game!

No shit, but halfway through watching this a car with "black ice" written on it just passed me
I drunk a shot of tuica everytime i heard suplyes i was fuckedup in like 16-12 min
The bane of every axis power and hoi4 player: supply.
Markoni get a better team bro
Black Ice is what Hoi4 should be on start. Before great and complex Hoi3, they made casual friendly game for kids..

New Tommy is so refreshing in HOI4
This video should have 1 hour for this mod

I love the fact that he hated black ice but a few months ago 😅
What is the song that starts playing at 26:35?
you can turn off nato symbols
How
@ you click on divison template then symbols and u click on „default symbol” i think
@@Filipw5473 mod doesnt allow that (the non-NATO i mean)
If I had a penny for every time Tommy ran out of supply, I would have a girlfriend.
When did he play this? I cant find the vod
The slideshow at the end of the video 💀
is tommy never going back to World Ablaze? Blackice GUI makes my eyes bleed.
The mod is dogshit course not
You're overreacting, its good. You should look at the TNO GUI xD this is real pain..
Does this mod have more in-depth economy than Ultra?
This is the timeline when Japan frees the Japanese Americans in the internment camps.
what is the build for the cruser submarime tommy?
this aint a mod man this is hoi5
Can Tommy try Vic 3 again there has been a lot of change since he left
It was just a matter of time, first you hate it... then you come back and want more.. and in the end BICE is Life :) also Tommy BICE is 25 width :/ so dont say 40 width tank divisions
HOW DO YOU PLAY BLACK ICE FOR ME ITS OUTDATED :CCC
what about the black souls of hoi4?
60€ for a plain black hoody… Alta
TommyK can you retry the combined arms challenge
