Once he was on a train to italy, but halfway there the connection train had 2 groups instead of the expected one to transport, so they asked for confirmation and found out there was a mix up. So they went back to where they came from only to be sent right back down to italy because they were supposed to go to the french border there after all.

@@Katharina-rp7iq it's really funny how many people have this idea that militaries are these well oiled effcieint machines.

@@chakatfirepaw very nice, that works on telegrams, but doesn’t on letters written by hand, there would be evidence if you change something in such writing
It is not at all. In vanilla HoI4 (at least back on 1.7 version) Germany crumbles in 45 with allies invasion in 44. USSR gets occupied relatively historical, minor changes from session to session. Here, while USSR occupation is somewhat accurate with an exception of Baltic holding back germans for the whole war, allies invade too early and Germany capitulates in 43. Both these mods are flawed in regards to historical accuracy.
And that kids is why Hitler didn't want to give north Africa to the Allies. It's the perfect standing grounds for naval invasions into the whole southern part of Europe.
You should try to play some Road to 56 and Chaos AI mod timelapses seeing the AI create new scenarios and alliances with new outcomes and add that with Expert AI then you have one interesting global war.
Expert AI: do you want to fight ? Turkey: nope Total War AI: do you want to fight ? Turkey: Nope In Real Life: do you want to fight ? Turkey: nope, maybe later
@@DaveSauuu Yeah, another probably westerner making The Turks look like villains and talking about genocide regarding both demographically and culturally thriving communities unlike where the real genocides happened in Europe, Africa and America. I cant believe how ignorant people can be. The world is filled with Turk-haters nowadays. It's sad. It also shows how the 200 year-long British propoganda worked. People not talking about the colonist empires' atrocities, instead purposefully misinterpret the casualties inflicted on both sides among Turks and Armenians due to the Westerners encouraging minorities to take arm up against Ottomans. And the side, defending its country and integrity is the villain. Yeah, sure. You people are pathetic.
@@ahmetcihatcetin7822 @Ahmet Cihat Çetin Listen, my friend. It's true that sometimes, the people who insist so much on armenian genocide and kurdish problem are turks haters, but not always. I think the fact that your government and a part of your people are so stubborn about denying it happened, despite all the proofs, is a reason why people keep reminding it to you and being agressive about it. Yes, I know, it must be extremely annoying that the first thing foreigners think when talking to turkish people is "armenian genocide", despite the fact that it is your government that denies it, not you personnally. It's the same as how serbian people keep being blamed by europeans for all the shit their past government did, even though that's not current generations' fault. But when you defend yourself so agressively, it makes the stupid people have a wrong idea about you, and it just gives fuel to their trolling. Look, I am a french person. My country did many, many, many bad things in the past, the hands of my ancestors are covered in blood. If someone mentions it to me, I won't deny it, it happened, I can't change that. Yet, it doesn't affect me, I don't feel personnally responsible for it, and it doesn't represent how France is TODAY. I also admit that the treatment France and other western countries gave to Turkey after ww1 was really unfair, and that turkish people were in their right during the wars of the birth of Turkish Republic. But don't get so triggered when people mention armenian genocide. If it's a turk hater, that's what they seek. You don't have to feel guilty about the bad things your ancestors did, (and anyway, they also did good things). So you don't have to be so agressive when people mention armenian genocide, just go along with it and chill, my friend :) And for your information, I'm not a turkish hater. I do love turkish people, I love turkish history, culture, food, and music, and I very much appreciate hanging out with turks. Atatürk is one of the historical personnalities I appreciate the most, because even if he is responsible for some bad stuff, at the birth of Turkish Republic, he was one of the rare enlightened dictators that has ever lived on this world, and who did great things for Turkey. I don't like what your current government does, but that's a whole other debate, and I prefer to not get into it :) That being said, have a great day/evening, and sorry for the long comment!
From what I can see is that the TotalWar AI is a lot more aggressive, but also a lot less stable. Crack their momentum or push from another side, and they collapse rather quickly.
Can anybody give a good description of the various differences between these ai mods? After viewing the video, the first thing that comes to my mind is that Total war seems to spread it's garisson more effectively instead of spreading them to defend pointless areas. It also seems to limit alot of the pointless movement, back and forth, and reorganizing that the AI would usually do.
I get the impression Total War mod things either work really well or not at all, whereas Expert AI mod seems to have a more spread out preparedness where nothing is going to work over the top well, but won't see the same level of commitment to any one thing as the Total War mod, thus Expert AI tends to move more gradually. Anyone else seeing it the same way?
germany was winning on the right until italy did italy things, fell so hard they didnt even invade normandy. On the left they didnt make it as far into russia yet italy held.
Now do a time lapse of all nations being stuck on Total Mobilization. Maybe as an extra, go Total Mobilization and Disarmed Nation only. If not then go Extensive or Limited conscription.
Personally I like EAI, not for historical accuracy, but for added difficulty. Can't recall when I played a game without it last time, when I actually played
Its not. Total war is. Total war had USSR start pushing the Germans back way before the landings in 1944, which actually happened in real life, whereas in total war you have USSR struggling until 1944 which is complete bullshit. So no, total war is way more accurate
Total War ended up being fairly realistic, with the notable exception of no Normandy landings (choosing instead to come up through Italy). Expert AI successfully did pull off a Normandy however, even if it did result in a quagmire in France. Also a bit surprised about the lack of any form of Africa campaign of note in Expert AI; I really don't believe the UK couldn't push Italy 1v1.
I ask myself. I didn't know a thing about this game or how to play this game. RUclips recommends this video to me. I watched it till the end at 4 am. and enjoy it. What the hell am I doing?
The fact that on the total war side Italy surrendered then joined the allies and was immediately occupied by Russia when the war ended was a bit sketchy
You can't say if the AI was responsible or not. The starting positions were different and that could be the cause of how everything went down. I would like to see how things play out if the starting positions were exactly the same.
Total War гораздо лучше чем Expert AI. Более историчен, динамичен и интересен. GameWatcher самый лучший канал по HOI4 😀👍 (Translate: Total War is much better than Expert AI. It is more historical, dynamic and interesting. GameWatcher is the best channel on HOI4 😀 👍 )
the Expert mod essentially showed what would have happened had Germany not rushed so hard into Russia, and had properly turtled up against the russians and allies, honestly had they not been fooled with the landing of normandy and hadn't pushed so stupidly against the Russians then they probably could have won the war, or at least held off long enough for a treaty to be made...if nukes hadn't become a thing that is.
Total War has a decison for Germany to make 'rump Italy' a puppet under the so named Republic Of Salo if Italy looses all in Africa & Sicily. Honestly, this can still be improved way more, however resources aren't endless. It is on my radar though. eg. Adding an intelligence operation for Germany to save Mussolini would be a nice extra, a challenge for Germany if they want to have a somewhat compliant rump Italy / Make it a 'civil war', even though the Italians didn't really fight one another, at least not the allied occupied South with German occupied North, partisans were active in the North and killed Mussolini in the end. Because of the current implementation, the Italy tag is not 'liberated' as usual, leading to possibly more funky outcomes like this. Historically after the Allied Invasion of Sicily, the King & Badoglio together with the Grand Council of Fascists deposed Mussolini and changed sides/'surrendered' to the Allies. Read more here: www.britannica.com/place/Italy/The-republic-of-Salo-the-Italian-Social-Republic-and-the-German-occupation Or watch: ruclips.net/video/oZePFDn3GAI/видео.html Still what happened here was actually not too far off from history. Italy came close enough to having the communists elected in the first elections post war, after first abolishing the monarchy (which the SU also pushed for in Romania & Bulgaria to further their control) The US heavily sponsored the Christian Democrat contenders to help them win and keep Italy in the Western Bloc.. Furthermore, the SU/Stalin had strong ties to the Italian communist party at this point. For further info see the earlier link and this video: ruclips.net/video/U0WrcxHO7t4/видео.html PS: Total War doesn't railroad/have an event to make Italy (potentially) join to Commintern, pure coincidence here.
Funny, in my playthrough, all of Europe fell to Czechoslovakia, North Ameica and half of Asia belongs to Japan and Soviet Union is sitting there, midning its own business. Now Czechoslovakia is in process of conquering Africa while Japan takes hold of South America. Once that happened... true World War will start. XD
First half goes to Total War. Also seems like i’ve missed some stuff in my geography classes. Soviet full invasion of Finland, then Finland joins the allies? And i’ve never heard of the naval invasion of Rome 😂 then advancing up into Vichy France and no Normandy. Good first half, but deeply degrades in 1941 and onwards. Good mod but needs alot of work.
Egypt: www.britannica.com/place/Egypt/The-interwar-period Syria: www.britannica.com/place/Syria/The-French-mandate Podcast episode on further context around the mandates and post WW1 'colonialism': open.spotify.com/episode/758o9L3IKKAvu7CKeZwham The 2nd WW channel episode on Syria after the defeat of France during WW2 : ruclips.net/video/2p0xLd8FqkU/видео.html Basically Total War (& other mods) often make overseas territories to varying degrees serparate puppets, mostly for best AI performance. Furthermore eg. Setting up Syria like this makes it also way easier to have the Vichy set-up event where French colonies can go either to Free or Vichy France way easier. Still Total Wars representation of both regions as puppets is not too far off (at all) as can be read above. PS: Britain also has a focus & events regarding it's controll of Egypt in Total War, check it out :).
It's crazy how vastly different these games played out. It seems like historical events on either side were like 50/50 to the accurate historical events. I mean we start out seeing Germany on both sides basically do the same exact thing but then all the sudden it seems like the expert AI had lost and messed up. They had it but by taking over Finland they ruined that potential second front that Russia had to deal with on the total war side. But at the same time in the end the total war AI ended up losing basically the same exact way the axis did in World War II. Very strange. In the end though I actually ended up watching the total war side of the game because after Germany was defeated a lot of crap went down. It looks like the Lithuanias were trying to fight off communist takeover but Italy somehow became a red satellite state. I don't know what the hell happened but a lot of crazy shit went down
The totalwar mod end was so awesome, the d-day was in the timming to split the Europe between then and in the soviets, this was so beautiful, but the peace treaty of hoi4 is a fucki** border gore
What I just watched leads me to believe that Total War AI is fucking phenomenal on a single front war, but when a new one is opened unexpectedly they crumple under their own weight and can't manage the army.
Irl Stalin invading Finland *image of a baby crying* total war Stalin *image of Stalin with eyes glowing red and flames in the backround with maniacal laughter in the backround*
Looking at both, I'd say both AI did terrible with the Germans apart from the Expert AI who didn't give Africa to the Allies, which was the fall of the total war AI as Germany. Though one did better than the other for strategies, both still would still be heavily outclassed by an ok player as Germany.

Total War is only the name of the mod, not a game of Total War saga
I ask myself.
I didn't know a thing about this game or how to play this game.
RUclips recommends this video to me.
I watched it till the end at 4 am. and enjoy it.
What the hell am I doing?
germany in total war:oh no italy fell ima send some units to help
ussr:WELL THEN ITS TIME TO VRUUUUUM
The fact that on the total war side Italy surrendered then joined the allies and was immediately occupied by Russia when the war ended was a bit sketchy
The second part where all the Allies push Germany from both sides was crisp
You can't say if the AI was responsible or not. The starting positions were different and that could be the cause of how everything went down. I would like to see how things play out if the starting positions were exactly the same.
Man in the High Castle AI when??
This mod has nothing to do with the total war series from creative assembly, right?!
Correct, it's just the name of the mod
On HOI expert the Faroe Islands gets invaded by Italy at one Point and the Spanish helping liberate Norway. Interesting!
Total War гораздо лучше чем Expert AI. Более историчен, динамичен и интересен. GameWatcher самый лучший канал по HOI4 😀👍 (Translate: Total War is much better than Expert AI. It is more historical, dynamic and interesting. GameWatcher is the best channel on HOI4 😀 👍 )
Hello Soviets! Appreciate kind words ;)
@@warmaps78 😉
HoI4: Germany becomes a fucking brick wall like always
HoI4TW: Wow actually realistic????
the Expert mod essentially showed what would have happened had Germany not rushed so hard into Russia, and had properly turtled up against the russians and allies, honestly had they not been fooled with the landing of normandy and hadn't pushed so stupidly against the Russians then they probably could have won the war, or at least held off long enough for a treaty to be made...if nukes hadn't become a thing that is.
Conclusion: The allies should’ve play Total War
lmao on total war mod italy is liberated by british and end up after the peace treaty in soviet hand .......
Total War has a decison for Germany to make 'rump Italy' a puppet under the so named Republic Of Salo if Italy looses all in Africa & Sicily. Honestly, this can still be improved way more, however resources aren't endless. It is on my radar though. eg. Adding an intelligence operation for Germany to save Mussolini would be a nice extra, a challenge for Germany if they want to have a somewhat compliant rump Italy / Make it a 'civil war', even though the Italians didn't really fight one another, at least not the allied occupied South with German occupied North, partisans were active in the North and killed Mussolini in the end. Because of the current implementation, the Italy tag is not 'liberated' as usual, leading to possibly more funky outcomes like this.
Historically after the Allied Invasion of Sicily, the King & Badoglio together with the Grand Council of Fascists deposed Mussolini and changed sides/'surrendered' to the Allies.

Still what happened here was actually not too far off from history. Italy came close enough to having the communists elected in the first elections post war, after first abolishing the monarchy (which the SU also pushed for in Romania & Bulgaria to further their control) The US heavily sponsored the Christian Democrat contenders to help them win and keep Italy in the Western Bloc..
Furthermore, the SU/Stalin had strong ties to the Italian communist party at this point. For further info see the earlier link and this video: ruclips.net/video/U0WrcxHO7t4/видео.html
PS: Total War doesn't railroad/have an event to make Italy (potentially) join to Commintern, pure coincidence here.
Funny, in my playthrough, all of Europe fell to Czechoslovakia, North Ameica and half of Asia belongs to Japan and Soviet Union is sitting there, midning its own business. Now Czechoslovakia is in process of conquering Africa while Japan takes hold of South America. Once that happened... true World War will start. XD
Video: Total War AI
Me: fucking autoresolve! wait a minute...
I have watched alot of these and so far never seen one that was historical with finland
First half goes to Total War. Also seems like i’ve missed some stuff in my geography classes. Soviet full invasion of Finland, then Finland joins the allies? And i’ve never heard of the naval invasion of Rome 😂 then advancing up into Vichy France and no Normandy. Good first half, but deeply degrades in 1941 and onwards. Good mod but needs alot of work.
so ......witch one is the expert ? :/
Seems like the total war ai is more agressive, and makes riskier moves. Took the sothern path into russia while making little progress in the north
Okay who’s the player playing as ?
Ngl they both look super historical for an hoi4 game
I feel like im losing my mind because every game I play Germany and the axis win
@Pelinal Whitestrake Wtf
@Pelinal Whitestrake pretty sure the communists won bro
So player is left and AI is right?
both are AIs
Me for no reason, rooting for the axis throughout the entire video: 😑😑😑
Turkey:I DON'T CAREEE!!!!!
My question is, why the hell are syira and egypt free countrys in total war?
Egypt: www.britannica.com/place/Egypt/The-interwar-period
Syria: www.britannica.com/place/Syria/The-French-mandate

Basically Total War (& other mods) often make overseas territories to varying degrees serparate puppets, mostly for best AI performance. Furthermore eg. Setting up Syria like this makes it also way easier to have the Vichy set-up event where French colonies can go either to Free or Vichy France way easier. Still Total Wars representation of both regions as puppets is not too far off (at all) as can be read above.
PS: Britain also has a focus & events regarding it's controll of Egypt in Total War, check it out :).
One of the not allied invasion problems is the italians fight to the last man , when IRL the Germans had to invade them to keep them in the war.
It's crazy how vastly different these games played out. It seems like historical events on either side were like 50/50 to the accurate historical events. I mean we start out seeing Germany on both sides basically do the same exact thing but then all the sudden it seems like the expert AI had lost and messed up. They had it but by taking over Finland they ruined that potential second front that Russia had to deal with on the total war side. But at the same time in the end the total war AI ended up losing basically the same exact way the axis did in World War II. Very strange.
In the end though I actually ended up watching the total war side of the game because after Germany was defeated a lot of crap went down. It looks like the Lithuanias were trying to fight off communist takeover but Italy somehow became a red satellite state. I don't know what the hell happened but a lot of crazy shit went down
Easy. Russia had enough points in peace deal to puppet italy, so they did. Peace conference is pretty shitty tbh.
@@sleepingcity85 I never played the game so I don't know the mechanics. All I knew is I saw a communist Italy LOL sounds broken as fuck
The totalwar mod end was so awesome, the d-day was in the timming to split the Europe between then and in the soviets, this was so beautiful, but the peace treaty of hoi4 is a fucki** border gore
What I just watched leads me to believe that Total War AI is fucking phenomenal on a single front war, but when a new one is opened unexpectedly they crumple under their own weight and can't manage the army.
So the Total war mod basically recreated WW2 for me.
It pains me to see that France loses in both cases
C'est marrant' dans les deux cas, les british son même pas intervenue pendant la campagne de France, finalement c'est assez réel.
C'est pas faux 😅
Why the fuck post war borders are always so scuffed
Total War Finland. Impressive.
Good video
Irl Stalin invading Finland *image of a baby crying* total war Stalin *image of Stalin with eyes glowing red and flames in the backround with maniacal laughter in the backround*
Nope, it's just propaganda that affects you.
Amazing how the Total War USSR managed to violently steamroll Germany despite being in a more desperate situation than IRL.
And Italy looses the entire war for germany on Total War...
What does total war do
overhaul mod for hoi4
hey um, what about the civil war between Spain and Catalonia? 1936-1939. irrelevant i see? maybe the IA would win the war without the human factor.
Very nice!!
Looking at both, I'd say both AI did terrible with the Germans apart from the Expert AI who didn't give Africa to the Allies, which was the fall of the total war AI as Germany.
Though one did better than the other for strategies, both still would still be heavily outclassed by an ok player as Germany.
The other is current timeline, and other one is in the cold war age.
