I honestly can’t wait for Middle Eastern focus trees. Iran especially. Asian minors need some love too, I would love to see a redone Raj tree or an updated China focus tree.
Tfv needs to be completely redone imo, the focus trees that is
@@KazakhHold Yeah, so many new mechanics have been added that it feels empty. That’s why I use RT56 for minors, Commonwealth especially
I feel like the big land fronts like ussr v germany and china v japan need complete redos. hopefully no step back fixes china not just russia
try the road to 56 mod, it makes all the middle eastern countries much more interesting
Most of them didn’t do much in the war, but were battlefields for the allies Vs axis
>plays left-wing, nationalist iraq
>sets out to unite the Arabs
>beats Iran in a war
>doesn't annex Khuzestan
a reversed-saddam-hussien.
35:38 Historically, Turkey maintained their neutrality through out the whole conflict and Hitler even sent İsmet İnönü a proposal to join the war on his side and in return, Aegean islands would become a part of Turkey. İnönü rejected the proposal by declaring that Turkey does not seek to expand their territory. Instead, Turks continued to sell chromium to Germany to maintain their neutrality via the Clodius Agreement. Both Allies and Axis wanted Turkey on their side and Churchill personally went to the province of Adana for a meeting with İsmet İnönü in a railway car to propose military aid if they joined the Allies. UK wanted to have access to Turkish military airports to bombard Romanian oil fields. However, this proposal was also rejected. When Soviet Union started to push back the Germans from their occupied territories, for Turkey, it was clear that Germans were gonna lose the war and the tides have turned. Turkey cut their relations off with the Germans and stopped to sell them chromium and 3 months before the German surrender, Turkey declared war on both Germany and Japan in February 1945 to join United Nations after post-war. Turkey did join the war but with their stubborn neutral stance, no Turkish troop ever saw combat in WW2. Turks had nothing to gain and everything to lose and Turkish Republic was still very young and had flashbacks to brutal Great War and Turkish Independence War. I have no idea either why does Turkey joins the Allies in the game in 1943 either. It doesn't make any sense.
It makes a bit of sense. IRL turkey definitely lent towards the allies.
In Hoi4 everything is possible lol
@@blazingfish8486 that’s literally just not the case. In practice they leaned more towards the axis in their economic ties
@@CSmith-hx2pm true, but they preferred trading with the allies. At the start of the war, turkey signed an assistance pact with the allies. They were friendly with Germany, but Italy wanted to dominate the Mediterranean so they were bound to be tensions. Turkey also joined on the side of the allies during the closing days of the war, but that doesn’t mean much.
I always wondered how you could form Arabia. I tried Saudi Arabia but I failed spectacularly. Thanks BitterSteel
I managed to get Yemen and Oman... but definitely couldn't face the Brits
@@dreuvasdevil9395 Yemen and Oman aren't even apart of the formable nation
they are... obviously.. its arabia
@@MagicButterz they are now 😝😂
how i dont have the option do you need a DLC?
Awesome work mate! Glad you could make something of my ramblings lol. Such a shame Italy crapped out, in all my playthroughs they occupied Africa no problem but excellent improvisation in keeping the run going :)
Looking forward to the Persia formation
Much Love
It was a very helpful email!
@@Bitt3rSteel hey man! I formed Arabia with iraq before and persia as Afghanistan. I could tell you how i did it, if you would like :)
Always open for suggestions!
@@Bitt3rSteel can i maybe dm it to you via discord?
Absolutely, I'll check it out when I'm off duty
Wait a minute, we went with a secular socialist government, but with nationalistic elements, wanting a united Arabia. Doesn't this make us an early form of the Ba'athist ideology?
Uh oh…
Ba’athism is based
good point
Third position time
@@thetigerking2613 Ba'ased
Saddam's revenge, oil strikes back
(Nice having a guide, diseaster saves are fun but i like seeing a guy do something stupid in funny map game)
@Arabic dude what
@Arabic dude damm bro, it was a joke, sicne iraq.
@Arabic dude 1. It was a joke 2. Iraq after overthrowing the british monarchy was historically communist, under abdel karim qasim the biggest party in iraq were the conmunists, and a lot of socialist policies that the baath had a couple decades later were inspired by the communist policies under qasim.
So this video, is atleast to some extent historically accurate. I dont get why 3aml nafsak za3lan o mot3asb 3ala nokta.
Not a very funny joke.. my dad fought in that war. :/
@Arabic dude The baath was founded by Michel aflaq as an anti imperialist, socialist, and arab nationalist ideology. It wasn’t against communism. Saddam didn’t create the baath, so his dislike of communists, has nothing to do Aflaq or baathism
These days, whenever I'm watching a video on HOI4, I can't stop thinking that all the guides made from launch will basically become irrelevant with the changes in combat width etc in No Step Back...
Well, DLCs are optional and can be switched off. I own all, but prefer to switch off "la resistance", for example...
@@burkanov true, but aren't the changes to combat width & supplies etc. coming to the base game as FreeLC?
@@christofflinde oh, never thought of it... if they change the core game, this will require the dlc to outbalance it, I'm afraid...
@@burkanov Yeah somehow that's not making me feel better XD
you can figure out your own strategies, it's not too fun to just follow a guide imo
I use the NATO icons, but i'm also a historian and that is what I'm used to. The other icons are just weird.
Yep
I see you are a man of culture as well
I cant get away from the NATO icons please tell me how to switch
@@mrstocki586 In your gameplay settings
NATO unit counters need to be off for non_NATO things
Tbh the white clashes with the game's color scheme
Props to you for doing it with la resistance update. I personally prefer to do something like this on versions before 1.9x husky since resistance eats so much manpower and equipment.
And starting as a minor you're barely able to equip one full army, let alone garrison the middle east.
Thank you so much Bitt3rSteel for making this guide. I truly appreciate your effort and looking forward to see more of your amazing guides. I have been waiting for this guide for a very long time and it finally happened! :)
Nice. Just as I'm going for lunch.
Quick question and I already know the answer but has Ireland ever held any interest for you with regards to HoI4 videos?
Yes, I've been planning to do a campaign to take the islands. But Ireland has nothing going for it :(
@@Bitt3rSteel We have 2 steel in Leinster which can be increased to a whopping 4! But yeah, I know :(. Worth a shot!
Irish steel is twice as good anyway
@@Bitt3rSteelhow bout fortress Ireland
wtf@@ryanan8082
>Conquers Iran
>Doesn't take Abadan/Khuzestan
Saddam is mad
War for oil before its Murica is specialty
YES!!! you have no idea how many times I've attempted this.
amazing! I love it
I think this is the first UA-cam that forms Arabia. The hardest nation to form in game
how do you i dont have the option do you need a DLC
i really think they should add a feature where you slowly core everything. like andalusia does this. imma do a lil example
"Unify the Independent States" : take saudi arabia. yemen. iraq. and yemen
"Unify the North" : own syria. kuwait. palestine. jordan. and iraq
"Unify the Peninsula" : own the Arabian Peninsula (the south)
these would be always avalible for the arab states in the Peninsula. but for the next you require the previous
"Liberate Egypt" : own egypt
"Liberate Maghreb" : own the Maghreb states and libya
and finally one for most likely iraq if you war with persia
"Liberate Khuzestan and the southern arabs" : Take the historically arab areas of most southern persia
This is what I was waiting for :)
38:34 "japan is... japaning" lmao
Siam definitely needs a new focus tree, they have options for formidables and they have a historical path to join Japan faction
Nice video, i hope you'll make more minor country contents in the near future. I can suggest you to make a video about reforming the thalassocracy as dutch east indies/british Malaya. Thanks
The capital encirclement thing hasn't worked for several patches. Supply flows if they control the state, and if they control the capital they control the state, always.
My god ive been looking for this vid for ever
Going red can be a great situation tactic but brown is usually best. Default focus tree best focus tree.
finaly a formable nation again, love them
I know you have done the Spanish empire but would love to see the old Spanish Empire under Phillip II (the one the sun never sets on aka Philippines, the Low Countries, Southern Italy, and basically the Americas)
You should have played in road to 56 iraq has a very decent focus tree.
Awesome, been trying to do this!
Bitt3rSteel. My man. My dude. Please. I have so many hours in this game that I'm ashamed. I'm even more ashamed that I can't form the EU as France. Can you help me. You're my only hope. Great vid by the way
Thank you, greetings from Baghdad
I'd love to see you win the war at the end of the video as well. :)
what a coincidence I tried this exact challenge yesterday
I just started watching this... you have my attention :P
Hey there, are you having this in plan as an updated guide with no step-back logistics?
Love your videos!
That's the plan!
Now play HOI4 but with Max infrastructure in all provinces of the world, just for fun 😉
The African front is finally playable
@@beanstuff2825 and South America
@@beanstuff2825 Siberia, Mongolia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia & Southern China are no longer actual hell!
U should try to reform Persian Empire for the next video
Since you accepted and won FeedBackGaming's challenge, I think that entitles you to challenge him to something equally annoying! :)
Great run, tried this with the Saudis and it was not a good day haha
Being an oil/rubber baron in the middle east is a surprisingly strong way to play the game
My roommate forced me to do this with Oman and it almost broke me as a human
aaah Papa Dave with a challenge and Papa Stalin as protector. Iraq strong
Just came out gang finally
Feedbackgaming is a curse upon these lands!! *shakes fist*
Thanks for this, formables as a minor is the best! Also, I would like to propose an interesting challenge that has a lot of possibilities, and is most cool! Take over the world as The Empire of Fire! This is the name for fascist Azerbaijan. Azeris have cores on 2 states that start Iranese, and also they of course have the oil, and as you have to start soviet you can choose to build them up in many ways before releasin azerbaidjan if you wish. Thanks again!
Thanks for the idea!
Hey will be there an update on this with NSB? or any other Iraq challenge/guide :D?
Dam it Feedback!!!!!! Why you make it hard on my eyes!!!!
forming persia is really hard.spesially because of new dlc battle for bosporos because turkey gets garentee.but if you change to comonisim fast then use para drop to invade turkey first before afganistan and iraq(imean before it gets garenteed).you can make it.and make a 10 width infentry 24 devisions and put it for deffence against india and be carefull of the top border with india.they attack and break there first.then with one 24 army devision you can get african parts.by the way you will need cyrupus too.wish you good luck.
Here's a fun challenge for ya. Annex Japan as Menghouko
i wish you do more tutorial videos regarding designing army templates tanks and airplanes and navy with all dlc, please consider it
Yo pls do more challenges like this I enjoyed this more than disaster save's
Poor Dave
@@Bitt3rSteel meant to say save woops
I mean, you'll still have to declare war on the Allies to take over Kuwait
RIP. We know how well that would go.
Funny thing is I am from Iraq and Iraq was commonest than it become socialist and try to unit the arabic world but things didn't go well...........
The Dankus Oman. Things you like to see)
Back to actually playing your own saves?! I had to see it to believe it!
AND HE ACTUALLY USED THE NATO ICONS IM DONE
He dared me, I had to.
Oh hey I remember when you asked me about this!!
"I thought Italy was competent...." Well ya see that was you're first mistake
Oh land your soil is my kafoor,in the trench my magazine sang
Me as a Iranian: Oh shit here we go again
Me 40% iranian and 60% iraqi
Me:
Atleast with Iraq annexing iran Kurdistan will be under less governments lol
Idea, unite the stans as any of the stans
Stans, rise up
very nice video mister
Now unite the Maghreb as Libya :) took me very specific methods to have the upperhand and keeping superpowers away from me
Hi iam arab and thanks for this video its awesome ❤️❤️
26:33
Uh… you ok there? Lmao
why dont you improve relations by just taking a non-aggression pact and then ask for military access instead of boosting it by spending pp? Seems like many people dont know that relations will be improved by asking for military access
Sometimes it's not enough, other times the AI doesn't want to. And I often just forgot
@@Bitt3rSteel u forgor 💀
Was anyone else hoping that he'd try to invade Iberia itself to reclaim Andalusian territory?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he's back again with another one
There will always be more HoI
@@Bitt3rSteel never enough HOI
yup
Bruh. What a civil war that was
I did the same thing as egyipt and it was fun.
Ah, nice, thanks for doing my challenge!
"Doesn't work out, we'll start again."
Ahahaha, why? I did it as Fascist Iraq through quick civil war, a quite lagging behind in industry for sure, but then i join Japan instead of Stalin and using China's manpower to conquer the West.
"WW2 starts"
Hmm, never thought about it, but maybe you can send 40ws to help Italy push UK out of Egypt. Never do that myself though.....
Nice one, Bitt3rsteel! You even did it faster than my attempt, i did it on May 1st 1944
I also tried Iraq a few times but fighting Iran always turned into pure attrition warfare with barely any movement - just like in reality. What a strange coincidence.
Best Ever ! +1
ironically I just tried this the other day. I got stuck in a war when I tried to conquer Persia though
I did this type of play before. Called my faction the Sword of Arabia. Pretty tough to do, hopefully when they give them focus's they buff them a bit as well.
2:06 whats the song? i love it
the fact that whenever he goes communist for every country but soviets he calls for stuff from "papa stalin" 😂
You should've sent volunteers to Italy
nice
I had some training involving NATO symbols, I quite enjoy them
Yay my country Iraq
This is actualy not the hardest thing: attack iran attack saudi arabia then attack yemen then oman then attack uk because you Will have to because they quarentee and quickly take syria and eqypt
The only proplem is iran and uk and france here but you can usualy get syria and eqypt befode they send troops
I actually want to fucking smash my own head open when I see the paper letter unit icons
Nice
Can you do a reform HRE?
What is the name of the song in the backgound at 14:51 ?
me: copies video
uk: guarantee iran
Bruh, how? There can't be enough WT by that point
America is probably crying now
You should've used paratroopers
barring brazil with its enormous manpower reserves, i can't think of any minors that don't require the fascist branch manpower to be playable in this game
speaking of which, perhaps brazil would be an interesting country for these sorts of challenges
Sianking it can form China and unite the Urals (and appease the occupation in half of the Soviet Union).
Now do that with Kuwait or quatar
Issue with Iraq is brist hace a focus to end you
How did you justify before world tension is 50%? And how did you get your troops to follow the victory points, sorry beginner here
As communist or fascist you can justify pretty quickly and most of the time you can justify with really low world tension
@Bitt3rStell You can try immortal Atatürk bug :D (You should make your president Sukru Saracoglu and wait to Atatürk's die. Event happened but Atatürk still remain :D)
Last time iraq got kuwait ww3 happened…
I dare you to Play as Free Puerto Rico and puppet the US and Spain
Can you do little guys in asia please? Maybe reverse puppet usa as Philippines
Dude united the Arabs 💀
24:42
hahaha park
I love nato counters
I've always used the NATO symbols. It's easier for me.
