The MOST CURSED Byzantium in HOI4

  • While playing around with greece and trying to find a new and more interesting way to form Byzantium, I discovered the trick to increase communism support when Venizelos suddenly died very quickly.
    From that point on, it became my mission to make cursed (or blursed?)communist Byzantium a thing, and it is disgusting and beautiful.
    I hope you all enjoy! if you do, hit that like and LEAVE ME COMMENTS! Try this out yourself to and let me know if it worked for you!
    Keep in mind that capping the allies when I did is not a requirement, even of USA joins in, you can simply take the territory required for cores still.
    Also, I believe this strat can get all the Byzantium achievements, I Captured the Bosporus and All I Got Was This Lousy Achievement, Istanbul is Constantinople. Again., I Swear I'm Not a Byzantophile, and I'm not certain (since I already had the achievement), but I believe you can get This is Madness! as well.
    Bad Romeance should be easily achievable after taking all our cores back as well, simply release italy and romania as subjects after the run is complete, then turn on the Soviets.

    you should try to get adolphus i as emperor of byzantines. im not sure if you can get it legitimately in ironman but ive tried firing the event for it and it didnt work for me. basically i think the way its supposed to work is: hitler loses german civil war and like gets deposed or smth and then theres a small chance if greece is going fasc into byzantines to get adolphus i as an event but iirc its bugged so i believe you have to manually fire the event but even that didnt work when i tried it. youre the only person i can think of good enough and dedicated enough to actually try this but see if you can do it legit and if not try to fire the event manually.

    ​ @Hatlessspider It s kinda impossible now to form full core original Byzantium since Turkish and Romanians provide much more resistance so you cant do the multiple fake faction trick on time anymore. As a result you cant prevent Italy from joining the Axis so as far as you need provinces from all 3 factions you eventually end up fighiting a whole faction alone. In this run you were backed by Soviets. I m eager to see if you manage to fully core an original Byzantium again.
