Love this run...Like you, I have tried multiple times to take on the US to no avail, so when I saw your video, I had hope that this achievement would finally be acquired. My discovery, I must be even worse than you as I cannot even get Portugal to capitulate. Landing in Lisbon seems to be impossible for me, even with Marines and artillery. LOL. Will try this a few more times, then back to the drawing board.
I like how in my runs Trotsky got assassinated in 1940 despite passive defense and counterintelligence and also Germany does not want me to join their faction no matter what I do. This game hates me.
12:13 "Antidisestablishmentarianism" at 28 letters is only the fourth longest word in the English language (that I know) "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," at 45 letters takes first place "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" has 35 letters, making it number two. "Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism" contains 30 letters (or 31 idr and can't be bothered to count them) and fills the bronze spot. Additionally, some dictionaries include "Supercalifragilisticexplialidocious" which is also longer. I only comment this because it is head knowledge that I don't often have a use for, so I wanted to make it count for something because I studied this instead of math and now it is biting me in the ass.
I love the new events pop up since i can barely see them on the corner of my 2K monitor instead of being flooded by uninteresting or repeated shit right on the center of my face.
28:13 the middle one of the MIO you queues up first doesn’t do anything to arty, only anti tank and AA. Middle two are best, then right two, then left side
I don’t know if you’d still check the comment section of an old video, but I’m having trouble against Spain. Not only do they have way more divisions, but Italy and Germany have been massively helping them (can’t beat those panzers with farmer infantry…). Should I wait for WW2 to begin? Should I join the Axis and THEN declare on Spain (to avoid volunteers)? I’m pretty stuck on this guide rn due to this monkey Franco. I could also stage coup on Spain but that would take too long.
Waiting till ww2 isn’t a bad idea at all, but Spain WILL have more and stronger divisions. In that case, youll have to move slowly, and just micro. Encircle their units with an army of 10 elite troops while you have an army to just hold the line. Just win before the USA joins the allies. If you want to beat Spain asap, try to do it as soon as they end their civil war. Use divs to bait the vol units off of victory points and pin them and take those cities. Don’t just battle plan, you’ll need to micro here to have the best success. If one part of the line is failing, bum rush the other side. Spain should have less divs than you, so just run around them and pin. Rush victory points, not kills if that makes sense.
@@thetibbiesshow Wow, thanks a lot for the (quick) answer man. You just won a sub. Also, I managed somehow to get the achievements without Spain. I actually puppeted the UK.
Did anybody have the problem of not being able to select a port to do the naval invasion out of spain from. I had both docking rights and military access but it wouldnt let me plan naval invasions into portugal
You can't invade from a country that is not in war with any other country. If you are allied to Nat Spain in war agains Rep Spain you can plan a naval invasion to Portugal because they let you use their territory to launch an invasiom from, does not matter to where. That is why you need to declare war in rep spain and launch the naval inv before they defeat rep spain. You could also declare on Anarchist Spain to make suee you have more time.
I feel like bum rush just got way more difficult or not possible at all. I took protugal ok but got crushed by spain. Couldnt even keep the encirclements of the Spanish units and the germnay volunteers just ran me over. I was able to bum rush the us before the update that made trotsky not come to mexico. That was a long time ago.
I've been finding pretty successful strategies for what I think people view as some of the more difficult achievements like Danelaw and Macau my day and I haven't found any updated strategies for it on here
I really can't understand how you can beat Spain so easily. I did the same run as you, in fact, I won first against Portugal, I attacked Spain and they had MANY more divisions than you, secondly even though I bagged them, they recover organization madly, much more than me who have the supplies. I don't know if it's a bug, but the bags don't go down
For some reason Trotsky does not show up for me most of the time, I usually have to restart like 3 to 5 times for him to show up on historical. And no, I didn't take antidisestablishmentarianism. I never understood what is wrong with my game
Is there a reason to do Transport Ships _before_ Electronic Mechanical Engineering? It's not like you're doing any naval invasions before you can finish _both_ of them, so why not do Electronic Mechanical Engineering first and get the research bonus earlier? Unless I'm missing something, of course.
@@thetibbiesshow Got it. I also tend to occasionally forget stuff like Transport Ships, and the 3% research bonus isn't exactly _massive,_ so that makes sense.
I think for that event that says that's capitalism, if I recall the last time I played Mexico 600 hours ago, there is no further events. It's just a stability hit.
The only thing that can go wrong here is that the Archbishop Pascual Díaz doesn't pass away before you complete "Revolutionary Women". If that happens you either have to wait it out, or accept the fact that you can't get antidisestablishmentarianism.
@@thetibbiesshow Oh, yeah that works too. I made the mistake of picking "Soldaderas" too early. Because of that the Spanish civil war was over before I could intervene. Thanks, I didn't even think of Repeal the Calles Law. Thanks!
I did this thing where I allowed it to get all the way to atheist state with a focus, then did another focus that would normally raise it before doing one that lowers it. The timer it gives you is rather generous.
seriously, I have replicated the guide to the T and I never get the Trotsky event... have Paradox changed something recently or is this a bug? I don't have AAT either so Norway can't be taking him first. Please enlighten me as to why this guide nolonger works its only been 4 months since it released....
It’s been awhile since I’ve tried it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if an update messed something up again. There was a whole 8 months a couple years ago where you couldn’t get the achievement because Trotsky was bugged. I’ll have to check and see if it is bugged when I get time.
Few things you could do. 1: Pull back some troops to clear up supply 2: pull back to the middle of the country and push forward again, this time with a focus on encirclements 3: try a naval invasion and see if you can’t make a new front in the far north. The first two options are far more likely to work.
@@thetibbiesshow Thanks so much for the tips! Like how you said you can be lazy sometimes getting entrenchment and planning bonuses, I too am also lazy in terms of supply and this hurts me more than anything. In the end I made a naval invasion to the northern most town and luckily it wasn't defended. But by the time I was at war with Spain it was already a year after you, going to try again. Thanks a mil and a great video!
@@seancosgrove9179use the marines you used for the naval invasion for pushing across the river or split the invasion in 2, 2 marines on the top port and Lisbon each, and land the surrounding tiles and force attack from the sides
I don’t think so. Pretty sure they need to be independent to take that decision, but honestly, I don’t know for sure. If they can while being a puppet, then that’s massive.
i think if you annexed all of spain, then released them through your politcial screen, spain would get all cores. nationalist spain lost all the cores due to the spanish war

Because I kept on forgetting to research it lmao. No other reason. Just kinda a “get it done before I forget again” kinda deal.

The only thing that can go wrong here is that the Archbishop Pascual Díaz doesn't pass away before you complete "Revolutionary Women". If that happens you either have to wait it out, or accept the fact that you can't get antidisestablishmentarianism.
If that happens, just do the focus before “abolish capital punishment”. I forget the name, but it’ll raise you one church level.
