@obese-anorexia i haven't watched the video yet but i saw Alex's comment and it said something about a save game fail so i thought he.... well... failed
@@JohnSmith-yv2tl yes once and a while I do that too, but theres an icon at the top of the screen that warns you! I can understand a week or so in game, but enough time for the research bar to fill while not actively researching?
@@Mr.ShadeO Do not underestimate the amount of mistakes, that people can make. This could be somone who normally plays fps games where you only really have one goal, so he wasn't used to dealing with the tiny details.
Everybody: Finds a way of smoothly transitioning into adds Alex The Rambler: Now it wouldn't be an Alex The Rambler video, if I didn't sell out a little bit
What to never do as any country: Train soldiers, and only stop training once you start the war. It caused me to lose to Poland as Germany even though I had air superiority. What you should do is stop training 35-70 days before the war (I don’t know the exact amount)
At 4:32, It looks like a attempt to make Space Marine Divisons, which are OP infantry divisions. Its supposed to be a 40 width template with 13 Infantry, 4 Artillery and 1 Heavy Tank Destroyer.
This save was a couple of months ago and it was my fifth game my friends recommended this game to me But I knew Jack shit 4 months or 3 months ago I really don’t remember much. But now I’m much better a lot better.XD PS thought you would stop doing the save games. 1:37 I was shit back then trust me but I’m much better now I hop.
I understand that this is a hard game to master and I recognize that I was once bad at the game. But with all of that said, HOW DO YOU NOT EVEN ASSIGN YOUR TROOPS TO A GOD DAMN GENERAL?!?!
Late reply, but it's just the sort of thing that you do when you start getting overwhelmed. You forget to assign a general, you stop researching for a bit, you don't do any focuses.
I have 600 hours in this game just imagine for how long I have played the game and this makes me cry but still keep it up people we all will become good at this game. 😃
I just remembered a time where i really messed up a game in 1939, where the US got involved super early, so i got pushed back before i could take the Benelux. I would have sent the safe game to you, but i accidentally ended up fixing it. Somehow.
Alex could you make a disaster and see how your fans save it? Maybe do a super buffed Comintern and Allies and see how you do as Germany, and if you fail, see if any fans of yours can fix it? I know I’d love to see it so if you’re ever looking for any ideas please use this one
I've only played 80 something hours and I know to get support equipment, radio and land doctrine done as soon as possible and to use Generals and Field Marshals
I love how there were some countries that were just lost to incompetence. Like how Norway lost because the British divisions didn’t have anti tank, France for obvious reasons and others
@@zzzss8326 Alright explain how a delayed, under supplied response to Norway that went to the wrong location that pulled out when they finally had a chance to hold was a competent and intelligent response. There was also very little naval response to the fall of Norway. The fall of France has been memed so hard I don't need to explain why it was stupid
Alex, I'd advice you to always just keep your airforce on the ground and build a huge amount of planes, in such circumstances. When you have built an airforce large enough of fighting, bring them up Up
I remembered my first game in HOI4,I was playing Germany and I declared war on the Italian and charged them in the mountains,even feeling proud when I lost about a few million of manpower.
I don't understand the template thingy. There is a number that is always mentioned "44 width" (I assume, can't make sense of it) but I never find where it's coming from
On the standard difficulty, is it regular? I've not garrisoned my ports as Germany in a long time in an Iron man, historical focus or otherwise game. Never been navally invaded, does it actually happen? I used to garrison for maybe first 2 games, haven't since.
For infantry, I always go two full rows of Infantry and one full row of Artillery followed up by a Scouting company, a Support Artillery company and an Engineer company. I have a progression for my heavy units. First, it’s one full line of Light tanks, then a full line of motorized infantry and finally a full line of light self propelled artillery. That works for me for the early game. Then, I go one row of medium tanks, one row of first level Mechanized Infantry and one row of medium self propelled artillery. This is for mid game. Finally, I go one line of Modern Tanks, one line of third level Mechanized Infantry and one row of Modern Self Propelled Artillery. This is for the rest of the game. If I’m doing this wrong, feel free to tell me how fucking stupid I am. Any criticism is welcome as long as I can learn from it

Thank god the series are back . I was really excited and wanting them to come back . ( I mean it seriously )
This is one of my favorite series you have please make more!
I hope people don't send in recruit difficulty saves again
3:54 "let's switch these to panzer twos" (switches to panzer 4s)
Alex doesn't know his roman numerals
I think he wanted to say medium tank 2
*I see his research*

I WAS EXCITED FOR SEEING THIS COME BACK, ALEX.
14:27
" I didn't do nothing"
So you did do something😦
The tank in the infantry template is to give it armor. It’s banned on most online games
I love that series, the format is very interesting, moore!
You seem to be in a better mood Alex !!!!! You love to see it !
new challenge: deliberatly fuck everything up but not so stupid that its obv you intended that... step 2 just send it to rambler :D
Wow the guy with this save game makes Alex look like a HOI4 GOD
When youre so bad that even Alex can’t save you

The one thing that got me was the ridiculous amount of art (17k) but you didn’t put line art in ur divisions 😂
I was excited Rambler

Came here started........ and got a message about a new alex the rambler video

Ok, but when are you gonna do the Equestria at War mod?

Evilpimp no it’s me I really tried it was 4 or 3 months ago but I’m better at the game now.
Alex that was so easy to save, you need an endsieg scenario
Plz do more saving disasters
I don't understand the template thingy. There is a number that is always mentioned "44 width" (I assume, can't make sense of it) but I never find where it's coming from
Well Alex i think the only reason you lost was : The guy didnt research doctrines and upgrades for divisions.
@rob 998 yeah he probably would've pushed further if he had artillery.
The guy is a fucking idiot at the game in general.
When a youtuber helps someone in a game about history
Yes!! Saving save games is the best!
A literal homunculus sent you that save
Maybe dumb question but how can we send him savegames?Couldn't seem to find a link of any kind
alex pls make a guide for the trophy duke em all as italy .
Not gonna lies bros that humble bundle is pretty legit
This doesn’t look too bad oh but, your losing to the Netherlands 😂
This looks like the shit I'd end up in, even with 100 hours.
Oof I really wanted these videos back
40 with with 2 heavy tanks brigades and like 8 art with the rest infantry is a decent template against infantry
Yaaay

I think the best division atm for Germany is the 13/4/2 division. At least it works really good for me
