Yea watching it is fun, executing it yourself is a bit of a pain. Ultimate cheeze: Cap the british, at the peace conference leave them their fleet and ONLY northern england. Then declare on them again, there is only 1 port where the Hood can hide...
@@F1HunterJAN1I remember getting this as the Netherlands on accident. Thing is I didn't fight them at all naval wise I just invaded their mainland with cheese and annexed with the old no navy steal conference style
3:56 Going by the game program files, yep, it is weighted depending on your size army, the AI chance on the decisions starts on both at 50, but depending on your strength it could go from 50% to 66% to 83% to then the 100% Btw, if you are planning on doing the funny holy roman empire, either delete your units before asking for the kaiser or you can just keep trying to load the save before the focus complete
I remember I got the achievement accidentally too, I somehow was naval bombing the mediterranean without even noticing and sunk the Hood, it was around 1942 I think.
Btw if anyone wants the "why die for danzig" all you have to do is get max collaboration on France, then once you capitulate them set up the collab government and for some reason the game will still give you the achievement.
I got that achievement by complete accident. Britain and france went fascist and poland just gave up danzig. it is to this day, the only achievement i’ve ever gotten.
I literally did a normal Germany run trying to get the true blitzkrieg achievement (or whatever it's called) and got the why die for Danzig achievement when I did Vichy.
11:52 TBH sinking the Warspite is actually more impressive than sinking the Hood, given that that ship somewhat uniquely managed to have plot armour IRL!
The hunt for the Hood was just glorious! Btw 'Shaken, not stirred' doesn't fire in the current version, because PDX... You have to roll back the game version to get it. Also your first coup was perfectly fine and would have gotten you the achievement, you just didin't have Danzig at that point :-)
In case anyone doesn’t know, you can go into your save files for hoi4, copy/paste the save file in a different folder, and you can use that as a “checkpoint” that you can copy/paste back into the hoi4 save files if you don’t want to do a full game restart on something. It doesn’t affect achievements and I’ve used it a few times, mostly in eu4 and ck2/ck3, but it can be useful in hoi as well
I like the idea that the entire German military is dedicated to hunting down a single battlecruiser because it has a funny crown on it and a gold outline
Imagine when British intelligence at Bletchley Park found out Germany has in fact zero interest in winning this war and really just wants to sink one battlecruiser and be done with it
I love how he just pretty much gave up on the game and started playing “Where’s Hoodo” like it was a cross between wackamole, where’s woldo and geoguesser
I had the "Why die for Danzig" achievement by accident when I created Vichy France after I conquered Poland but was still at war with the gov in exile. La Résistance DLC was turned off.
On the "Why die for Danzig" I accidentally managed to cheese it, after you beat the allies puppet France and Vichy will annex into them automatically and you get the achievement
I remember when i sunk the hood. An achievement popped up and i was like," ...well that was random." Since I was doing what everyone else does in the British Channel
Yo isp you said that you weren’t sure if the Netherlands would reject giving back Willy but they will always give him back if you have more divisions than them.
Actually, organizing a coup in France to get that acheesment works, did it myself 2 weeks ago. Also, the achievment doesn't require to not go to war with Poland
a much easier way to get the why die for danzig achievement is to play like normal but get a full collab on france. You just invade poland and france like normal but as soon as france capitulates you have an option to establish a collaboration government in france, which qualifies for the achievement.
My favorite HoI4 story is when, as the Kaiser, I got "Why Die For Danzig?" After peacefully getting Danzig and the British Empire under Mosley turned France Fascist in a completely unrelated war to me while I was fighting the Soviets. I was incredibly confused
Finding the Hood is a ridiculous task. I can't even remember where it was hiding when I finally got that achievement. But I kept engaging it over and over again and it would slip away each time and move location. Almost as if the AI knew I was hunting for it.
If you have more than one PC, a video where you control the entire Axis (playing Germany, Italy, and Japan simultaneously in the same game, like a multiplayer game where it's just you) would be unique and pretty chaotic. Managing seven fronts at once, keeping track of all those focuses and research, and being able to seamlessly integrate the production and balance of military forces of each into one superpower would be awesome to see. It also sounds like a frustrating ball ache, so right up your alley, ISP!!!
I just randomly got that "Why die for Danzig" achievement when invading Poland as Germany. Its literally my first achievement in Hoi4 and I have no idea how it happened, certainly didnt play for it or knew how the coup and popularity mechanics even worked. Definitely was on historical too...
Something similar happened to me as I completed the focus "Danzig for Garante". That randomly gave me the achievement even tho France was communist (I was playing as the Kaiser"
i accidentally “bypassed” why die for danzig. i had invaded france and they had already capitulated, but i established a collaboration government and it gave me the achievement. i don’t know if it still works but it’s a easier way to get the achievement if it still does
I got the “Why Die for Danzig?” achievement completely on accident. I’m pretty sure it was a bug. What happened was it was my third time playing Germany, so I thought I would take it slow (as in enter the war in 1941). Since I had done the Molotov-Ribintrov focus, the USSR began justifying on Poland. The USSR would occupy Danzig at the start of the war, but they would hand it over to me once Poland capitulated. I was tired of failed paradrops into France in my previous playthroughs as Germany, so I made sure to have 16 paratroopers (with 300 transport planes to drop them) ready to drop and 2 collabs on France. I joined the war by declaring on the Netherlands through that focus tree. Once France joined against me, they were capitulated immediately. After Poland and the UK capitulated I got the achievement. Not sure entirely what I did to get the achievement. I think it was a combination of being at war with France for less than a day, and the fact that I never declared on Poland. Side Note: I capitulated the UK about 2 months before Japan declared on America. This resulted in the USSR owning Malaysia so Japan ended up at war with China, the USA, and the USSR. They barely lasted a year.
@@ORN227 I think part of the reason I got the achievement was because I established Vichy France. I still have no idea how any of what I did got me the achievement though.
I remember when I sank the hood. Built a straight up better nave with the Bismarck in it, and patrolled the seas around Britain. Caught it in a storm, so the British carriers couldn't do anything, and the Super Heavy Battleship Bismarck took them all out. Beautiful.
I got the Why die for Danzig achievement without meaning to. I declared on Poland on and it dragged the rest of the allies in. After the war, I puppeted France and annexed all of Poland and it gave it to me. Since I never technically delta red war on France, it still counted.
I got the Why Die for Danzig achievement because of a bug, i was doing a normal German run and puppeted France and this apparently unlocked the achievement despite me having been at war with them.
Got "why die for danzig" achievment 3 days ago in a really wierd/bugged way. In 1936 I took Netherlands, then immideatly justified on Brittish Malaya, going at war with UK early. did a Sealion, then waited in Scotland before taking Checzoslovakia. Unfortunately, Czechs refused giving me Sudetland and joined Allies. Then Poland also refused after "Danzig or war". I did no focuses that give you wargoals on Benelux and France, but France joined Allies anyways through event. So I took Paris, established Vichy France, finally took Glazgo (which made UK capitulate), proceeded peace conference and got an achievement. Why the hell establishing Vichy triggered this achievment - idk, but now I have it, LOL. Maybe it only checks for wargoals, because i did not had war goal on France, I have no idea, was really confused
hey, crazy thing happened to me when I went for the why die for danzig achievement. I played historic Germany and went for through the normal world war and at the end after taking out the united kingdom and then France. I puppet them both and took Danzig and I got the achievement after the peace deal. I don't know if it glitched out but that's how I got it. By the way love the videos.
IIRC the chance the netherlands decline to return Wilhelm II is influenced by your army size compared to theirs. So if you just keep building your army and place it on their border they shoudl say "Yes" most of the times.
I got the danzig in the weirdest way ever. I managed to stage a coup and the french fascists happened to pop up along the maginot. I sent expeditonary forces but that went no where but somehow the war started (It might've been cause of Italy or the Danzig focus) and I was allowed to sent my full army to fascist france. I crushed the french and then went back and did the same for Poland and despite having gone to war with both of them I still got it.
7:20 You also didn't get the "Shaken, not Stirred" achievement. Unsure why, but that achievement broke at some point during Battle for the Bosporus. In order to get it, you need to play the game in Version 1.9.X.
I love it taking years for you to destroy the hood. I think I got it in a Germany game where I got a successful sealion. I believe I also got the Poland achievement by early warring Poland so the allies didn't get involved, had historical off and they naturally went fascist
I got the 'Why die for Danzig?' as monarchist Germany. Turned France fascist using spies then did the civil war and got the monarchist achievements in the same run.
I'm somehow managed to get "why die for Danzig" in more easier way. As usual I started a WW2 crushed Poland, than France, got event about Vichi, they became my puppet, because I don't have La Resistance, and I got an achievement.
I remember playing the USSR before NSB and I was simply trying to get some soviet achievements. After beating Germany, I ended up being at war with the allies and randomly sent 2000 fighters to Eastern Med on kamikaze mission for fun as I was about to leave the game ( it was 1945 my brain was gone ). It turned out that in a few minutes I destroyed half of the British capital ships including the Hood by randomness alone. That's the reason why HOI4's achievements are so cancer. You can literally spend hours trying to get them and yet, failing at doing that but you can also get them by playing the game and out of nowhere, without even thinking about it, you can manage to get some achievements.
you can sink the hood way easier if you capitulate the uk and release them as a nation not a pupet so the hood is in a port in the uk and not somewhere else
I got that achievement by pure accident, pulled off sealion and landed on the port she was in, she sailed out right into my escort fleet and got eviscerated by two superheavies.
For those wondering, you *can* get "Why Die for Danzig?" during a French Civil War, the Civil War tag counts. I got it while desperately defending Calais with a volunteer force.
I got the Hood achievement in the stupidest way. I was playing a non-aligned Ireland and had joined the Axis, and had mined the ever living shit out of the Irish Sea and flooded the area with NAV whenever the Germans had cleared the RAF out of the way. I also had a small wolf pack of mostly German licensed production subs harassing the North Sea trade lanes and carefully avoiding actual naval combat. But, one day while returning to Dublin to upgrade, the unthinkable happened: the Royal Navy arrived, and there was Hood. Well, the tattered remains of the Royal Navy, anyway. They had gotten completely bloodied by the German fleet that they had just barely defeated, then they found my mines, then they found my NAV. And then my outdated, slightly shitty wolf pack of license produced U-boats sank the Hood. What a glorious victory.
1:01 i got "Why die for Danzig?" by capitulating France and creating the Vichy regime first, while the Poles were still fighting. I don't have La Resistance, so i don't know if it works with the aforementioned dlc. Edit: fixed capitalization.
ISP, i got why die for danzig by invading france prior to invading poland (start ww2 by invading the belgians), and then capping everyone and puppeting france.
You having a hard time finding and destroying the HMS Hood is funny to me because I accidentally sunk the hood with some shitty naval bombers as Sweden-unified Scandinavia back in like 2021, because it was out on patrol in the North Sea for some unknown reason. But it DID also take until 1945, so there's that too lmao.
