So the amazing thing about the bulgarian patriarchate is that you can use it to entirely cancel out ANY of the occupation laws in terms of compliance gain, meaning you can go on forced labour or harsh quotas for more than 100% resources or 100% factories respectively when at 100% compliance. Absolutely broken, but hey that's why we love hoi4
Back in the day I used to do a strategy for this path. Rush down the focuses so that you flip ideology as fast as possible, improve relationship with Germany to join their faction. This will make Romania like you and give you military access. Declare war on Greece and Order 66 Romania, defeat Greece too. The focus "Bulgarian Integration of the Balkans" lets you core any Balkan state you are occupying, and you can ask others in your faction to let you occupy any Balkan state that is not their core. So you get all cores that the United Balkan Federation gives you, but also the Bulgarian Patriarchate. RIP Order 66 :(
Bulgaria was the nation I saw the fewest playthroughs for when the dlc came out. It was easy to get the handful of achievements and then completely forgot the nation existed.
fun fact when you go comunist and ally the soviets you can still do the balkand federation focus if there`s at least one balkan nation in comitern or the faction you in
I've done this path a couple of times before and I love how you don't even need to join the war with the Allies, you can just demand and core land in the Balkans for free (you can even get Montenegro and Albania if you ask for the land before Italy releases them as puppets). Then I just backstab the Axis to take over Romania and Trieste, as well as being able to declare on Turkey and have all of the Balkans cored under the Third Bulgarian Empire!
ISP last year: God, going through every nation and trying to find the best way to play their focus trees was absolute hell. ISP now: I'm going to go through all the nations and do their worst focus trees. What could go wrong?
As the greek in the chat (I don't assume there's a lot of us here), i love the new shirt. My country won't sue you, frankly because we got no money for that (yeah... what the hell is a stable economy amiright?)
One day ISP will learn that you can look at what land is unclaimed in a peace deal on the left side instead of just clicking states. One day...one day...
Fate of the balkans is super fun. I don't even bother with the puppets i just manual justify on greece and yugo to get all of grrexe, romania and yugo then deny the soviet event, farm warscore and take most of the soviets and use that ridiculous compliance gain to destroy the axis and allies.
Any game of Hoi i play, Bulgaria always, ALWAYS becomes a Major. Germany could get absolutely steamrolled, Italy could be deleted out of existence, and Bulgaria would still be the last bastion of the Axis. As a Serb, i don't approve. As a Balkaner, i do approve.
ISP, what division templates do you use, I've been trying to do the Austria-Hungary achievement, and no matter what I use, I can't seem to defeat the Germans and Italians?
I REVISITED GREECEOSLAVIA www.ispmerch.com/listing/greece-o-slavia-2?product=387
greeceoslavia as a union seems like something so forbidden
Save swappers when?
Were is the rat.
I lost my old Greeceoslavia shirt, I need this so bad
I love how the shirt description is just "I should have never come back".

Based
Midwest americans being happy under bulgarian genocidal exploitation, just as expected
Bulgaria best nation?
any nation that can get its hands on compliance gain can be pretty OP
Bulgaria decided to give all the allies the napoleon's exile treatment.
There's nothing we can do- Churchill probably.
It's not even Bulgaria doing it,it's the other Axis members doing it.
"I have killed them all!" - Bulgaria.
"...About that..." - Germany.
As a veteran lore-master Timmy, Greece-o-slavia was definitely A-Z. To be specific, when you played Greece.
Mr President a second overpowered nation has hit the channel
Where's the RAT, ISP? WHERE IS IT?
Trapped in his basement
You are mistaken, this is iSorrowproductions. No idea who this 'ISP' persona might be.
I'm sorry to say, the rattos brief lifespan has expired
who the fuck gives a damn? get over it already, geez
#bringbacktherat
Oh boy! I cannot wait for Czechoslovakia German Appeasement focus tree!
Would've been better in OTL If they did that tbh
I can’t wait to see him do nothing!

Holy shit, it's the overpowered nation of the week
I love the idea of all the major power leaders just getting napoleoned to islands if they lose.
The best title screen was No Step Back. Perfectly encapsulated what the DLC was about: Russians and tanks.
Honestly Bulgaria is one of my favorite countries to play. They just dont have a bad path to take
ISP puts pizza on pineapple
???????
😂😂😂
And it's extraordinarily based if true. 🍍 🍕
It's better on burgers

SECOND GREECE-O-SLAVIA SHIRT
We got a second Greece O Slavia shirt before GTA VI
Why are you everywhere?
Bulgaria is definitely my favorite focus tree in the game. Its got the BEST faction management mechanics that pair really well with the entire tree.
Dude… this is like the 398th op nation this week
And yet you keep clicking.
Its the first
If everyone is overpowered, no one can be
0 seconds it has been and none hast peered, lord isp has truly fallen out of the grace of thy holiest rat lord.

letting you switch between starting screens is actually a really good idea
3rd Bulgarian empire my most beloved
Keep Calm and Slavi On
Day 233 demanding ISP to form Mongolian empire with generic focus tree and minimal mods + only cavalry
That Bulgarian tag colour gives toothpaste Sardinia a run for its money!
Wait until he realises he can form a faction with Bulgaria in it as Turkey , totaly not useless path that no one except curios people do.
The third Bulgarian empire was the only time I used battle of the bosporus, did it twice
As an American, I can confirm I am 100% compliant to my Bulgarian Overlords.
You should do a video where you start as the smallest country and take over the ENTIRE WORLD.
Interesting coincidence, the actual Bulgarian Patriarch, Neofit, died recently.
As a fan of big metal boats the new title screen have been lovely
How is it that every nation that iSorrow plays is secretly OP, but when you play the same path, it's not OP at all?
paradox games youtubers trying not to write the word “overpowered” in a video title challenge (impossible)
The Greece-o-Slavia is actually the only merch I've ever bought from a UA-camr.
Hello from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
One of the best birthday gift ever. An ISP Hoi4 video! ❤
GREECE-O-SLAVIA GREECE-O-SLAVIA GREECE-O-SLAVIA
The fact that you can steal tons of land and not even need to join wars is wild, Bulgaria was so fun to play
has he forgot the 800k subscribers for an alf landon playthrough cuz hes getting closer to 800k
@iSorrowproductions I came up with a name for the series: "A to Z: in focus."
ISP last year: God, going through every nation and trying to find the best way to play their focus trees was absolute hell.
ISP now: I'm going to go through all the nations and do their worst focus trees. What could go wrong?
7:21 500k Subscribers reference
I think this will be my second youtuber products to have. Love you ISP!
As the greek in the chat (I don't assume there's a lot of us here), i love the new shirt. My country won't sue you, frankly because we got no money for that (yeah... what the hell is a stable economy amiright?)
artillery only!
Officially he has lost his mind. He had fun in hoi 4. Next week he will play stellaris.
Great work as always ISP, you never fail to deliver.
I desperately need this version of Man in the High Castle
i hope that paradox will rework every focuses from dlcs
At 7:20 that would be the end of a rambler video lol
paradox should give bulgaria an artillery only focus tree
Peak ISP would have 2 quadrillion views by now
11:10 I would love for someone to animate that scene.
I will buy your merch and I will love it and wear it all the time only inside of my house because I do not want my peers to know that I like hoi4
One day ISP will learn that you can look at what land is unclaimed in a peace deal on the left side instead of just clicking states. One day...one day...
That shirt is like my only UA-camr merch it was epic
very good video. I love your 18 minutes videos
Funniest thing is that this focus now gives you SIGNIFICANTLY LESS compliance, then it did at the release)))
you will never let rambler rest will you
Alex the rambler lives rent free in ISP's head
Every bulgarian is happy after watching this masterpiece of a video
Can't wait for all random focus Australia redux!
Finally! Our
T H I R D B U L G A R I A N E M P I R E
the greeceoslavia tshirt is one of my most prized possesions
The best formable nation is the rat, BRING BACK THE RAT
i missed the history boy hoodie and ill never recover
This reminds me of the time in a MP game that I almost won against both the USA and Brazil... as paraguay.
Yeah the new opening screen is pretty cool.
I like the humor of the Greece-o-Slavia t-shirt, but being Orthodox, I'd be afraid of being excommunicated for it.
Foot-fitting flouroscope
@iSorrowproductions May the real Japan plz stand up
all titles of ISP's video's with nations that arent on the map when you start a new game and it always hase SECRET + FORMABLE + OVERPOWERED
Man, how many OP nations do you have?!?
Fate of the balkans is super fun. I don't even bother with the puppets i just manual justify on greece and yugo to get all of grrexe, romania and yugo then deny the soviet event, farm warscore and take most of the soviets and use that ridiculous compliance gain to destroy the axis and allies.
"I want to expand so I am ignoring the economy and hope that we will have one later" Yep hes going Fascist alright.
I’m American and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of attu island before seeing people talk about it in hoi4. Is it even inhabited?
Been waiting all day for this ty bbg
ISP try not to find something overpowered challenge: impossible
7:05 Nah India got partitioned harder than Poland
That shirt is wrong... it should say Romania for uhh.. no reason! *WINK WINK*
15:52
Can’t have shit in North Korea
I bought the greece-o-slavia t-shirt because it was stupid funny, and got curb stomped by all my friends.
the alex the rambler slander never ends
I pooped to this
This is not the brazil achievement you showed on twitter
Call it Hocus Focus please :)
we are soo back
Any game of Hoi i play, Bulgaria always, ALWAYS becomes a Major. Germany could get absolutely steamrolled, Italy could be deleted out of existence, and Bulgaria would still be the last bastion of the Axis.
As a Serb, i don't approve.
As a Balkaner, i do approve.

15:11 What is the Prince Ali Rescue?
What happened to Belgium? Did you skip it in the "focus to z" list?
ISP, what division templates do you use, I've been trying to do the Austria-Hungary achievement, and no matter what I use, I can't seem to defeat the Germans and Italians?
Episode 1 of the rat request today we will be asking Mr i sorrow productions for the rat
Will you please release the rat
