@@FuturLollo-wk2kf you are welcome! Let me know how it goes!

@@FuturLollo-wk2kf thank you so much for your nice comment!

@@adibulejko9449 not a bad choice at all! I like the potential flexibility MIOs could add. But the truth is, as for everything else, you just always go for the same builds and you need to pick all of the perks over and over again in every single run...

@@HateBear-real hoi4 sometimes pays the price for it's age, but it still a great game and the developers are working hard on it. I have high expectations for the upcoming dlc!

@@eytankollin342 you are welcome!

@@anderarmould that does sound like a lot of fun! Hehe

@@benfrank9622 it would be very nice to be able to ore-select most things in the game, like focuses, researches, doctrines. Of course it would be also awesome to be able to save them and load your setup in future runs.

@@SoloDolo01 it became very click heavy for sure, but I know the developers are working on it. I really hope they will come up with a good solution!

Hi! What would be the fix?

@@albertpedersen8606 absolutely! It will be my first priority after playing the dlc!

@@MachiavellianStrategist Thank you so much, I really enjoy your videos because they're unedited and you explain things very well. I wish i had enough money to become a chanel member, you deserve every penny.

@albertpedersen8606 thank you so much for you kind words, I really appreciate that!

@@aligibbs2884 hi! Yes, you need the by blood alone dlc for the plane related ones and the no step back dlc for the tank related ones. But the strategy still works even without them. I will also upload a vanilla run with Italy soon!

@ Thanks! Only just got the game so was a little confused. I’ll definitely look at those DLCs! But even without them your guides help so much!

@aligibbs2884 no problem, welcome to hoi4! It is an amazing game once you get into it!

It can happen don't worry, just help your puppet Yugo quickly win the war and annex the other one.

@@IvanSusanin-ul4tz hi! I am from Italy, but I live in Japan!

@@MachiavellianStrategist i could bet, this is not a japanese accent. You said in other video that you are in Japan because of Job. Thanks for the answer, I like you Japan run/guide. thanks for that. 😘

@IvanSusanin-ul4tz thank you!

@@darkslopegaming6855 hahaha thanks!

@@glauberglousger956 we'll need to wait and see the final implementation, but I do share your worries.

@@josepsamarrafarre yeah I think that's a fair assessment. In a way I even hope that will be the case, because if raids are too impactful, and we need to consistently use them, they might become an annoyance pretty fast...

@@zmeu_md3831 thank you!

Also, I'm waaaay behind on production...20,000+ for guns, and thousands for everything else....not sure what I'm doing wrong on that front either

@@SmytheAlbert hi, I might make a dedicated guide just for the civil war, because it was particularly lucky in this run. The production doesn't matter much for this part of the run, it will be more important after the civil war. By the way, how many divisions do you have when the war triggers?

I think it was around 50ish. I think I also got really unlucky cuz I had Uzbekistan, the Ukraine, and some Caucasus country rebel too so I had to clean them up after the Soviets went down. I’m still behind in production (although by much less) by the time WWII starts. It might be cuz so many factories get damaged and it takes time to repair them? Not sure what else it would be.

@@SmytheAlbert I was just particularly lucky, it is quite normal that other Soviet republics rebel. It is also normal that factories get damaged so don't worry. Did you finish the civil war in time in terms of focuses or did you fall behind with that? That's the only thing that really matters. In terms of production what type of equipment do you lack (at WW2 start)?

I’ve got a deficit of artillery, anti-air, trucks, support equipment, and medium tanks. It’s not a huge deficit, though. I must’ve done something wrong but I’m pretty sure I followed your production guidelines. Maybe I just got unlucky with the amount of factories that were damaged during the civil war so it took longer to repair them? I finish the war against the Soviets on time in regards to the focuses, but it takes several months after that to cap all the rebel states, well into early 1938.

@@ryankolbe365 that's actually quite interesting. Line artillery is one of the things NATO lacks the most in recent days. Not because it is useless though, because they didn't think they would need it.

@@MachiavellianStrategist sooo US and nato doctrine since the 90s prefer precision fires because there is an implied logistical advantage to only having to shoot once

@MachiavellianStrategist this means that mortar sections in light units could become drone sections, and self propelled guns guided by ISR are optimal in the present. The new DLC is introducing strategic level fires like rockets; and while realism will make it prohibitively expensive, we now have the option of playing from a more modern lens

@@ryankolbe365 that's very interesting for sure! But I think the main reason NATO stopped using line artillery is that they did not have to fight an old style war until very recently. The lack of artillery and artillery ammo is actually one of the big issues Ukraine is facing against Russia.

@MachiavellianStrategist soooo I knew a guy from the Rangers back in 2018 saying something like that in regard to the ukrainians, but if you asked an officer why we aren't handing artillery out like candy to our allies, that is more or less the answer you would receive.

@@Demon88061 yep! I eventually figured that out, but it was a fun surprise at first haha

@@E_Poltz yeah you really cannot rely on your Allies in hoi4 (although, to be entirely fair, they are quite disappointing in the total war series too).

@@xFALCONIA hi and thank you for your comment! - 1937 planes are not great, but they are better than no planes at all. They will contribute to getting the air superiority, especially in the early stages of the war. - The US has an incredible amount of CIVs, do what they really lack are MILs. Building a lot, right away, is vital for out strategy, as it allows us to produce enough tanks and planes by the time WW2 begins. - no mods, you can shift click on MIO perks to pre-select them. - It is okay to build an agency, but sadly democracies can't benefit from it as much as other ideologies. The collaboration government is usually the best operation to use, and democracies don't have access to it. I hope I answered everything, but let me know if you have any more doubts!

@@MachiavellianStrategist yoo first of all thanks for replying to a comment on such an old video! That MIO tip is gonna save so much time from now on, also didn‘t know collab governments are not available to democracies! I get why you wouldn‘t build any civs, but wouldn‘t early infrastructure in all resource rich provinces provide with more to work with, less civs used for trade so more civs for building more mils? Also, some people like to go into the communist path to get the political advisor, what‘s your opinion on that? Is there a reason for spamming small lobbying effort instead of medium? I know it costs more but what exactly‘s the difference?

@@xFALCONIA no problem! Small lobbying effort gives you more stuff per PP so it is always superior to medium lobbying. We do build infrastructures at some point (after getting the construction buff from the elections I believe). We don't need to import much before that anyway. It might be possible to switch some of the construction priority in favor of more infra, but I feel like we might lack the required mils later on. Feel free to experiment with it though! And let me know if you find a better way!

@@Gymnastian hi! In terms of potential strength, unless you want to change ideology, I would say that nothing else can compete.

@@vladokalaba2640 it will be fully covered in the next episode of this run don't worry! (available tomorrow for members and next Saturday to anyone!)

@@EnduringGamer

@@naivett this is a fun one! Let me know how it goes!

@@ultimatenothing5539 we can probably leave a few perks point for that, thank you for the suggestion!

@@lynxspatial make sure you are assigning your entire fleet. You can also try assigning all of your planes to get the air superiority for a few instants, you shouldn't need more than that to trigger the invasion. I never had issues with it.

@@MachiavellianStrategist thanks i will try this. But im nearly sure that i had all my fleet assigned

@@lynxspatial That's very strange! Let me know if you can sort it out!

@@MachiavellianStrategist nope, even with full planes deployed, my navy is still getting wrecked by the Italian one. Maybe something to do with the way my fleet is organised?

@@lynxspatialmmh without additional info it is hard to tell, maybe you could join our discord and share some screenshots, or even send your save file?

@@garyjohnson3252 I am very excited about the new dlc too! And worried at the same time. Some of the new features risk either being redundant or making the game overly complicated if necessary. I will try to cover more of the upcoming changes for sure!

@@strategotv3374 I know right! Killing him very early in the run results in a huge amount of extra paranoia, which becomes difficult to manage and forces you to spend a lot of political power.

@@Engineer_gaming12 yes and no, paranoia is good, but you need to keep it below 90% at all times or the civil war will trigger. This means keeping it below 60% whenever a great purge is happening, since they increases it by 30% before decreasing it again.

@@MachiavellianStrategist basicly yeah

@@baseballworldwide9439 yesuh! Thank youh!

@@dashua1735 this run was indeed a lot of fun! But you cannot replace the representative of the sun God on earth!

@@glauberglousger956 that's great to know! I may make a dedicated video just for the civil war part, which could easily be used for any of those paths!
