Golden: *Flames flowjo for losing the spanish civil war as nationalist spain.* Also golden: *Takes all of swimmys troops and throws them into the dogpile*
Wow, Bo has gone from humble hoi4 youtuber and streamer to modern artist! The twisted and mangled nature of the nationalist frontline represents the deep trauma the civil war caused to Spanish society as brother fought brother. The vast gaps Flowjo left in his frontline signify the desolation of war and how nothing can be whole when death is all around. Furthermore, the beautiful addition of a 30 division stack doing nothing shows how we must band together for world peace, and its encirclement and destruction questions if the dream of peace is even possible. A beautiful piece of art Bo, thank you for sharing.
IDK why they gotta be so toxic, they give spain 10 things to do at once, dont use frontlines, help me liberate my troops next to madrid, pull out of zaragoza, hold bilbao, like what do you expect lmao
Golden does sound like he has a condition and an absent father ngl. Like hey i understand, having a teammate who's constantly fucking up is frustrating, but screaming at that teammate is never going to fucking help.
The book "Mine Were of Trouble" by Peter Kemp has been recently republished. I highly recommend this book for a firsthand account of the Spanish Civil War, as it is extremely good reading!
Im really looking forward to see you and the bois playing crusader kings 3 again. I think lots of people can agree with me. I can't still forget the one, the only monks of Westphalia
You know I would legit love to see the whole group acting as the government of the United States. It would be a hilarious clusterfuck of rivalries within one country. Also would be interesting to see the group split apart in coups and all that good stuff.
Oh you guys are the yellow Spain. I thought you were the green one until 4:15. I was like “how are they about capitulate? They’ve almost won” and then I was like “oh”
I had a 2 player multiplayer game as Republican Spain game where the other player, playing Russia, was going tanks only. He sent 5 tank divisions with about 2 tanks each We did end up winning in 1943 though, right before Germany and japan jointly declared war on him and he collapsed.
@The Nova renaissance yup. it was basically just me holding ground until he could unfuck his industry and get enough tanks together to break through the enemy lines.
My god.. how can you even bring yourself to play with someone like swimmy? With "allies" like him you don't need enemies anymore. It's one thing to call someone out for playing bad but jesus..
I've learned something from watching bokoen. To play HoI4 you only need to be unable to admit your mistakes. Yah never lose if you close your eyes and shout!
imagine playing spain in that game, just getting verbally abused for literal hours on end. I like these vids but id never wanna play with these guys lol
Why was flow joe not using frontlines? Spain has to hold the line while the volunteers do the heavy lifting of pushing, surely you don’t need much micro freedom if you’re dealing with the Spanish garrison divisions? Could someone explain this strat. I’m pretty new to hoi4
I would agree but these guys like to think that they are playing at "pro" levels. There is a stigma against using frontlines in multiplayer cause the ai of frontlines is sometimes pretty bad. i would say in all single player and noob games that frontlines are absolutely fine apart from your good divisions like motorized or tanks that you wanna control manually to get the best effect out of. these guys expect you to micro manage every single unit you control cause otherwise its too easy to get encircled by other players who are using micro especially in this situation where the russian volunteers are better divisions. I have like a thousand hours of hoi4 single player and id be terrified trying to play against these guys cause I dont have the concentration to micro all that stuff lol.
@@lionslug Oh yeah frontlines should only be used for tanks to collect them in an area before an offensive, or to accrue planning for taking a difficult tile. you can still micro neighbouring units into a battle with a frontline. No frontline just seems like a great way for, well this video to happen. Massive death stacks and gaps in the line
@@maxkennedy8075 yes and no, frontlines sometimes moves your units to places you dont want because thats what the ai programming thinks is the best spot for that division to be, it can also be bad with resetting the frontline quickly if your units are retreating or taking ground often which happens a lot in these mp games. Having said all that I still agree with you, I use frontlines every game for 90% of my units. but if you just used frontlines in these types of games they would steam roll you
@@maxkennedy8075 all good dude i personally dont think playing the game like they do you be very fun anyway. Everyone i know uses frontlines, there is already too much to pay attention too hahaha
Not gonna lie, the situation with Spain gave me flashbacks. I’ve been in his shoes before. Lol. Playing as The Raj and getting yelled at by every Allied power because I lost us Africa kinda turned me off multiplayer for awhile. I’ve been learning micro as Iran ever since. I still use frontline orders. Gotta break that habit. Atleast I’ve learned to encircle.
FYI.
1. Germany was betting on an early war by mid Q1 1938.

please do this cause It was funny that they thought they could do that.
What about the pacific??
Game never made it to the point where the pacific war started. Japan fought in Malaya for about 2 months and almost took it, but the game ended.

I dunno man. If I'mma be honest here, the mp has been getting very toxic tbh
@@vedsingh9785 Yeah HOI4 multiplayer in general is just toxic af now
These guys play thousands of hours if your used to that seeing someone this comparatively brain dead hurts for them.
@@vedsingh9785 yeah but that's just the mood of the game, They insult each other and that's also why bokoen videos are fun to watch
“Do you have a condition”
“Do you have an absent father? What happened?”

Makes me think Golden has a condition
It wasnt even funny

only way it could be worse is if you added dressel in there
*When the great powers of the world throw Spain harder than a baseball pitch*
1:18 I live to hear him speak in that voice. Beautiful

Most of their videos is them being extremely toxic to eachother.
Golden in particular
yeah you are right
@The Nova renaissance the never needed to be toxic.
That's normal spanish civil war stuff.
Germany : *roasts spain entire time*
Also germany: * kills all their volunteer and gains nothing*
see, what happened was that Golden lost too many brain cells in Spain, so he was left with an IQ of like 4.
Can't have lost that many considering he started with a dozen at most
so his iq somehow increased from that?
Golden to FlooJoe:
Don’t use the “smart” word with me.
you graduated bottom of your class
Who played as the soviets? That guy is a Chad.
The spirit of Stalin himself
@Calvary WAN [13S3] The france player with is mountaineers divsion was also very effective
@Calvary WAN [13S3] Has dankus learned the basics of any other country than the Soviets yet?
Spain be like: I'm going to throw now.
Germany: No no, THIS is how you throw.
“hitler, what are you doing in the east"
- Stalin, start of Barbarossa.
Golden: Stop attacking
Spain: H0w AboUt i d0 anyway
That moment when the Axis have lost the will to live and ww2 hasn't even kicked off.
I could only imagine the allies vc during that.
"So Germany just suicided into our lines and got encircled..."
Golden does sound like he has a condition and an absent father ngl.
Like hey i understand, having a teammate who's constantly fucking up is frustrating, but screaming at that teammate is never going to fucking help.

3:00 Huh, the number that forms looks like the answer to nine plus ten
Youre everywhere
*If in dire circumstances, press the big red button called "Keep marking as many tiles as needed until the situation is ok".*
I love how everybody has a different opinion on what actually happened and who is to blame.
I swear Swimmy must have a hitter's stylish Stache, Mussolini's square chin, and Lloyd Fredendall's tiny brain.
At the end of the day the most important fact is that: *GOLDEN LOST*
Me: Sleeps.
Bo: *Uploades video*
Me: Keeps sleeping because it's a Spain video and that fits the theme.
I was half expecting Dressel to be in this video.
Golden: Swimmy, you're fired for incompetency
*proceeds to drive into a school*
When your so early that you expected the spanish inquisition
Never, and I cannot stress this enough, NEVER STOP MAKING THESE VIDEOS
I swear when Swimmy left his volunteers to be encircled I could hear the clown car in the background- it should be Swimmys official theme
9:55 *Focus Complete: Oppose Hitler*

*Get his units encircled*

Golden's mental breakdowns are some of the funniest moments of hoi4.
Bo, Loved this. Short and sweet and honestly I cant wait for more. :D
I don’t know how, but every video goes from a panicking high command, to divorce court, then divorce court with free samples of heroin
Last time I was this early Golden hadn't taken Paris.
>Swimmy Germany
Me: So you are saying the Axis have already lost?
Oh you guys are the yellow Spain. I thought you were the green one until 4:15. I was like “how are they about capitulate? They’ve almost won” and then I was like “oh”
green is portugal...
@@princekyros I’m colorblind
1:21 lol, and when swimmy started microing they instantly started loosing divisions
Golden betting money on swimmy germany is like people licking public places during covid
Always like it when Swimmy, Gold and Bokoen are on the same team.
Honestly if I was spain I would jave just actually started crying with the amount of yelling
I had a 2 player multiplayer game as Republican Spain game where the other player, playing Russia, was going tanks only.
He sent 5 tank divisions with about 2 tanks each

I think if they hadn't told him to not frontlines, it could have gone much better
2 people threw that war at 2 different times. First flojo, then swimmy.
When you do the next game that Swimmy did as Germany, surely you'll call the episode on it Hyperborea
Swimmy content keeps this channel afloat.
Swimmy...afloat!
tbh Braun being an absolute meme is slightly better than Swimmy being an absolute idiot in my personal opinion.
Swimmy: *Hits his toe against the table*
Also Swimmy: "Fucking Spain!"
Swimmy coming in with the clutch throw.
I've learned something from watching bokoen. To play HoI4 you only need to be unable to admit your mistakes. Yah never lose if you close your eyes and shout!
9 Divisions are encircled, and you're laughing.
(Joker vibes)
I wonder what the Allies chat was saying during the spanish civil war, this is one of the most exciting ones I've ever seen
How strange, normally Bo is the one shitting on everyone. But its jice to see that hes actually trying to help 😂
You know you are in trouble when you need Italy to save you! XD
This was amazing, best civil war ever
I have a headache now. Dear god, I can't believe what I just witnessed.
Every video I see with swimmy it’s him doing this
Last time I was this early, Condors were just a type of bird
Here is a rhyme:
Spain brings Pain
Easy and simple.
Don't play or Help spain in the civil war
Golden and Swimmy aren’t exactly people in positions to tell people they suck. They’re not Dressel at Iwo Jima bad but…
I forgot who said it but the Spanish Civil War is supposed to be practice in microing units
At certain points in history I’m sure real commanders acted like this!
You guys should try the Kaiserredux submod for Kaiserreich I'd love to see what kinda stuff you would do in that mod
so i guess swimmy is the comic relief
I presume after this is 'Fastest Axis defeat ever'.....
The amount of salt in this one is so high lmao
The last time I was this early, the Germans were arguing on which commanders did the most & worse war crimes
When Hitler takes direct control of the Wehrmacht.
the hoi4 community isn't toxic...
imagine playing spain in that game, just getting verbally abused for literal hours on end. I like these vids but id never wanna play with these guys lol
Excellent coordination
It's like everytime Spain is shit, it's the same guy playing it
