I was wondering why you wanted to get neutrality act before selective training act and then it became painfully obvious. Keep up the interesting content.
Alf Landon is good, +120 PP, industry company (at least until wartime when you get GM), and you've built most of the infrastructure by the election of 36. When you get to 1940, you get the option to change party to Democrats which gives +120 PP and New Deal comes back. If you ignore the events and take FDR, you just delay getting design companies/Italian scientists for 10% stab and 20% infra construction speed. I'd rather have 240 PP, free industry company, and the New Deal effect comes back right as you need more infra on resource rich western states. On the commie path, save 10 days before starting URA, appoint Browder last minute. That saves a whole 1% of communism! Start anti-commie raids during AWTA and it will make banning communism cost less stability and give you 2% after finishing.
Loved how you said “build infrastructure in all your resource states…except oil” and at the moment you said oil, you added inf to Texas…🤣 Loved the video as always, keep up the awesome work
With the second option, when you get the Silver Legion event, there's no reason whatsoever to pick the bottom option unless you're intending to spark the civil war and want to get it out of the way as quickly as possible (which is just stupid for a democratic playthrough). The bottom option will *guarantee* that you end up having a civil war, and the civil war will occur before you can even get the "Guarantee the American Dream" focus which prevents the Rust Belt from temporarily seceding. Apart from that, for those who are curious, the other ways you would guarantee a civil war are either if you pick the "Full Desegregation" focus or if you let communist support tick over 30%. If one so desires they can pick up other focuses within the commie tree as long as they don't go over 30%, but it wouldn't be all that optimal because the longer you wait to get rid of Browder the more PP and stability you have to sacrifice to get the Neutrality Act.
Also, just to clarify, none of the focuses underneath the election-rigging focus will move you any closer to a civil war. But at the same time, since you got rid of Browder and did Neutrality Act, it is impossible to do any of them except the Militia Organization Act, which just reduces training time for divisions, because the rest either require you to have Browder as an advisor (impossible after doing the Neutrality Act focus) or for you to have sparked the civil war. Only the criteria I mentioned in the previous comment will spark the civil war. And the communist support trigger is only relevant after having done either the election-rigging focus or full desegregation.
Some strategies hire Browder for 60 days (save 10 days, hire Browder for URA, choose AWTA) then dismiss him as soon as you choose him. Then do the other communist focuses that do not require him, then hire him one more time to be able to click Worker Management Act for 5% factory output, and dismiss him as soon as you take the focus. This nets you about 12-13% total communism and then you can do raids as soon as you start the WMA and get rid of it, plus some extra stability to make up for the loss when banning it. You spend an extra 150PP hiring him twice and it slows down getting off Undisturbed Isolation by three extra focuses(only one if you don't take selective training act and just get 10% WS from Guarantee the American Dream instead), but it might be worth it if you really want that extra 5% factory output for later on.
I really like your videos! I think that one day your channel will get very very big. It would be very cool of you maybe made achievement guides because of your deep technical knowledge about the game
I never convert civs because I play the game with the mindset of building military factories years before the war so they can actually ramp up production and produce stuff before the war starts.
I actually like to bump the infra in the oil states first (specifically Texas and California) because it allows you to train your airforce and navy fully at the same time.
heh... this is the first time I've not learned anything from a 71Cloak video... because I already figured this out for myself a while ago lol! I even made a steam guide for it. unfortunately I cannot link it here it seems because youtube will autoremove my comment and the link =(
You can actually finished that branch of the communist path without going to a civil war. You get a +5% factory output and -10% training time and the option to get building slot 50% cheaper. You can also do the Partial Desegregation focus and still not go to civil war. The only way to get a civil war is to do both the Union Representation Act and the Full Desegregation focuses.
There's also a hidden trigger. If you do either one of those focuses and then let communist support tick over 30%, you'll get the event that truly starts you on the path to civil war. It's only specifically if you have 30% or more communist support at any point after you do one of those focuses, and only if the aforementioned event hasn't already fired.
@@Anonie324 It's only one extra focus (Worker Management Act) and 150PP to re-hire the revolutionary once if you do the old age pension act and guarantee the American dream for 10% war support instead of going to the selective training act. After WMA you don't need the revolutionary for anything else in the tree and can do them later. If you want to double dip on war support and take selective training act it's an extra 3 focuses though, which probably isn't worth it.
You can also get a CW by selecting "We must not bow to the mob" after the first of those two foci, or by hitting 30% communism at any point after those two foci
I stopped playing Hoi4 a few years ago, but i remember you could leave the London Naval Treaty, then promise to disband your navy, then break that promise, which gave Japan, Italy, France and the UK a war goal on you. One or a few of them would attack you, land on your core prowince, allowing you to take that decision which gets ride of great depression and gives you 100% WS and War Economy. It was crazy overpowered, i think i capped Franced in 1936 and started a world war. Have they fixed it?
@@71Cloak Exploits!? Pshaw, it totally makes sense that FDR could completely mobilize the entire US military and economy and instantly reverse a massive global recession at will just because the Japanese took an island with like 12 people on it... I mean... I think....
the dead line for finishing selective training act while war support isn't above 10％ is do it at your 8th focus. As you completed it, one day later the Japanese Invasion of China fires, bump up the world attention and push your support. that's why you have to either finish the selective training act before 8th or at your 8th national focus.
Unfortunately it doesn't really matter if you get rid of great depression and undisturbed isolation, as you will still run out of building slots. USA cannot keep expanding its industry indefinitely like the USSR
Only good thing is that after you have every state maxed you can convert some of your excess civs to mills, and if you aren't spending PP you can just spend 100 PP over and over again on a maxed out state to give it 1 more building slot.
Yeah but I mean, by the time you have every state completely full you're either ready to completely destroy the world by yourself OR you already have, so it's kind of theoretical anyway.
@@JB-xl2jc Not really. I mean, by 1936 you have relatively few building slots. I think you only start having enough building slots to destroy the world by yourself by 1940 or so
@@javierperalta7648 I don't think you could really completely fill every US state until probably 39, unless you're completely ignoring industry capacity tech for some reason.
@@JB-xl2jc no I am not ignoring them. That's that's I am saying. Without those techs the USA doesn't really hace that many slots. Only by 1939 you actually get enough slots to build everything you need
I remember seeing the first strat back in the day. When I try it now though, the House always drops to 160 after the election, regardless of how high the support is going in. Meaning timing medium lobbying, farm, and special interest to complete right after the election+medium before focus still isn't enough. I've even tried this save scumming outside of ironman. Is there some trigger that I'm tripping, or do I just have incredibly poor RNG?
There is no RNG, every representitave and senator event is fixed. To make sure you have enough support after the election, before you begin your first focus take "medium lobbying effort" then, after WPA take both "amend the budget" and "research grants" decisions. on Aug 15th, select "pay farm subsidies" on oct 10th, do "small lobbying effort" and finally as soon as that's done and you've reelected roosevelt, do "medium lobbying effort" and you'll have the support you need. I've written all the instructions down in a guide if you'd like.
@@stormsand9 Okay, I guess there's some sort of lower threshold then? I copied what you put, except I skipped your lobby b4 WPA since getting to 218 during the focus is guaranteed (waste of PP). Picked the 2 that lower support after WPA. Did medium 45 days into farm (I think you can start farm as early as Aug10th? Old elec day was Nov8th, now its 3rd?). Got 196 instead of 160. You can wait 20 days after War department, cause you gotta waste 10 to rush Fair Labor, so I launched a medium after instead of small. Works w/Alf Landon too. Random support events can mess you up though after the election, but if you ensure you have extra PP you can eek out a special measures last minute (I had 56 sen, when u need 58 so, yeah).
@@kilo5011 aye you can change it slightly but if you do it my way its all guranteed. I don't waste those 10 days for fair labor act however, because getting to the giant wakes quicker is more efficient then getting rid of great depression. doing fair labor acts will drop consumer goods by what, 7.5%? where as rushing the giant wakes brings you from undisturbed isolation to partial mob, a 30% difference in consumer goods. I made a guide on it, I'd link it hear but youtube removes links, just look up on the steam guides section for Hoi 4: USA: Fastest way to Mobilise Economy in No Step Back(NO WAR)
First Good Video. I have a video Suggestion you could show one of the most broken tanks right now at least in the Mp meta you need to get as the Usa the td designer and design a base medium td then just put the best gun on and stack breakrough. Then you can get Tanks with 470 soft attack 900 hardattack and still 700 breakthrough if you do also Flame tanks with breakthroug and light tanks recon. The Op thing is just that the tanks are stupid cheap for the stats
I was following your first method but I don't know why the selective training act does not give me any war support. I've done it after Neutrality act and sent an atache to China, it was 20% WS, but after I finished a focus I get nothing but limited conscription. Am I doing something wrong or Paradox spagetty code strikes again?
Like I said in the video, if your war support is over 10 you don't get any from the focus. You should be finishing this focus before Japan goes to war with china and before sending the attaché.
Building civs is a huge mistake. You will run out of building slots! Rather build more infastructure so you can spam out mills faster when you get partial
When you need to do repairs later in game, that will take much longer without civs. Additionally it takes a long time to run out of slots, especially if you're rushing the industry technologies which increase the amount of slots in a state.
@@ronswearingen552 i run out of slots in 40 with concentraded 3 and need to rush 4 almost 2 years ahead of time and same with 5 to not run out. You barely need to do any repairs as usa and every time you build a civ you will have 1 less mill. Remember you will sit on 0% consumer goods
what would u lose in a civil war? a few 4 skill generals and admirals. but u get 30% war support spend 50pp for propaganda and u can have war economu in 37
You also lose cores in all of the southern states and half of your existing equipment. Plus all the production efficiency on factories that go to the south.
I am having issue when ever i do "SELECTIVE TRAINING ACT" i am around 5-7% war support, but once i do it i am at 10% than + attache later 20% never hit 30?
The only thing I can think of is do you have a pride of the fleet. Are prides of the fleet dlc only?. Otherwise, worse case scenario (doing focus too late) you should still be getting to 29%. Unless of course you aren't actually getting any war support from focus because you have mor ethan 10% war support when the focus finishes.
You also might go for war department and selective training act after tge neutrality act so u can get base 10 ws and when u send attache to china mostly more than 30percent
Is there a way to send an attache to China without walking the tiger DLC? Or is there another way to get more war support that doesn’t require a DLC? Just got to that step in my game and realized that send an attaché is not an option 😂
71cloak, i wonder if you know what is the best naval designer? coastal designer seems like the best, since there is a -25% IC reduction for all ships, which on the long term allows you to negate all the nerfs to your stats, with sheer amount of ships
Just a tip for ya. Do not waste the pp worrying about the house/senate support. No matter what you do it can be totally fucked in the November election. Start your medium lobby and farming act so they will both complete the second week of November incase you get smashed in the election. I do agree with the fist one on startup tho as you do need the support to start some of the foci you need to do.
If you don't do the lobbying efforts then you are 1 bad rep event from not being able to do the neutrality act. Or a few from not being able to do the selectice service act on time. By the time the election happens you have selected most of the focuses that require support in the house and senate.
@@71Cloak the first few events seem to be pretty scripted. Usually always get +10 senate, -40 reps right before the initial med lobby is done which puts you at 61/218 when the lobby is done which is enough to get your first batch done. Then it's usually a few retiring senators and a +20 rep before you get the "build a mil in whatever state", always NC for me, event. I am almost always sitting at ~70/~280 for Neut. Act, but my order is a little different than yours. The RNG of those events is so dumb afterwards but at least once you get Selective Service and Two Ocean navy done there isn't much else to worry about keeping it high other than using your research boost clicky once a year.
They aren't scripted at all. I've had net -135 reps (4 -40, 1 +25) from events by the time I got to selective training act. At that point 6 medium lobbying efforts and 2 special measures wasn't enough to get house support up to the point where I could do selective training act without delaying it.
hey I've been constantly fucked with house support after the election, I've already restart 3 times but I simply loose all my house support after the election, was this just bad RNG?
Why do so many medium lobbying early on when there's every opportunity of the 1936 elections to congress simply scrapping it all? My understanding is that the elections don't care about how much support you had beforehand, and simply reset your seats in a random configuration.
You won't have enough command power to send an attached spain before the sino-japanese war kicks off. Even if you did the spainish civil war will end soon and then you would still need to send an attache to spain.
Lmao. Why look at build civs later convert to mil idea. Just saying civ is built in say 45 days + 1 day to convert: 46, while a mil is built in 30 days flat. Choice is no brainer.
you can actually out do this, there is a way to get on war economy in 1936 whilst getting rid of the great depression and upping your conscription law all at the same time I believe another youtuber has already done a video on it though, if someone wants in the replies I'll find the channel
Yeah I did it. I linked the video in the description. There is a reason I specified without exploit. Even then the slightly commie path is kind of exploity.
There's also no particular reason to hold focus, or at least, it seems like a bit of a waste in my eyes. Yes, you get rid of the debuff slightly faster, but you can't actually complete Giant Wakes any faster since you're waiting for Japan to declare war anyways, so putting yourself getting rid of the Great Depression slightly faster doesn't seem super impactful, although perhaps I should try it the other way and see how it feels then. Edit: Seems like I'm remembering something about the timing wrong, I'd have to go through it again to check how I did the build, but you're probably saving 120 days of Great Depression debuff at the cost of 20 focus days, which should be a net gain overall.
great now can you make a guide on how to get rid of my great depression (irl)

So it is: 150 / (0.15 * 2) = 500
I am having issue when ever i do "SELECTIVE TRAINING ACT" i am around 5-7% war support, but once i do it i am at 10% than + attache later 20% never hit 30?
The only thing I can think of is do you have a pride of the fleet. Are prides of the fleet dlc only?. Otherwise, worse case scenario (doing focus too late) you should still be getting to 29%.
Unless of course you aren't actually getting any war support from focus because you have mor ethan 10% war support when the focus finishes.
You also might go for war department and selective training act after tge neutrality act so u can get base 10 ws and when u send attache to china mostly more than 30percent
Awesome guide
Is there a way to send an attache to China without walking the tiger DLC? Or is there another way to get more war support that doesn’t require a DLC? Just got to that step in my game and realized that send an attaché is not an option 😂
71cloak, i wonder if you know what is the best naval designer?
coastal designer seems like the best, since there is a -25% IC reduction for all ships, which on the long term allows you to negate all the nerfs to your stats, with sheer amount of ships
Coastal or raiding. Either one works for everything other than carriers. Carriers always want the extra deck space.
@@71Cloak interesting. I would love to see how the numbers advantage work out against the lower visibility of the raiding fleet designer in a game
What about keeping Browder in until you're just over 10% communism, then removing him and doing raids? That saves even more PP and nets you stability.
is this better than going to war with japan in 1937 with the naval treaty thing ?
Just a tip for ya. Do not waste the pp worrying about the house/senate support. No matter what you do it can be totally fucked in the November election. Start your medium lobby and farming act so they will both complete the second week of November incase you get smashed in the election. I do agree with the fist one on startup tho as you do need the support to start some of the foci you need to do.
If you don't do the lobbying efforts then you are 1 bad rep event from not being able to do the neutrality act. Or a few from not being able to do the selectice service act on time. By the time the election happens you have selected most of the focuses that require support in the house and senate.
@@71Cloak the first few events seem to be pretty scripted. Usually always get +10 senate, -40 reps right before the initial med lobby is done which puts you at 61/218 when the lobby is done which is enough to get your first batch done. Then it's usually a few retiring senators and a +20 rep before you get the "build a mil in whatever state", always NC for me, event. I am almost always sitting at ~70/~280 for Neut. Act, but my order is a little different than yours. The RNG of those events is so dumb afterwards but at least once you get Selective Service and Two Ocean navy done there isn't much else to worry about keeping it high other than using your research boost clicky once a year.
They aren't scripted at all. I've had net -135 reps (4 -40, 1 +25) from events by the time I got to selective training act. At that point 6 medium lobbying efforts and 2 special measures wasn't enough to get house support up to the point where I could do selective training act without delaying it.
hey I've been constantly fucked with house support after the election, I've already restart 3 times but I simply loose all my house support after the election, was this just bad RNG?
I cant do this I keep losing the house in the election of 1936 no matter what
"Build infrastructures in your states, excluding Oil"
-Mainwhile Builds inf in Texas😂
Texas has 80 aluminum. Building infra nets you 20 more aluminum.
Why do so many medium lobbying early on when there's every opportunity of the 1936 elections to congress simply scrapping it all? My understanding is that the elections don't care about how much support you had beforehand, and simply reset your seats in a random configuration.
How do you keep yourself below the navy limit?
I tend to not make that many ships as the US in SP. You don't really need it against the ai so I either build screens or convoys.
Why not build infrastructure in oil states?
i guess because you already have basically infinite oil
@@softibjorn that makes sense, thanks
@@softibjorn yeah but hear me out. more oil
A focus should give infrastructure in the oil states, if you build infra in the oil states the focus gives other random states the infra.
No matter what i do I lose control of the house after the election
why you dont send spain a Atache but Japan?
You won't have enough command power to send an attached spain before the sino-japanese war kicks off. Even if you did the spainish civil war will end soon and then you would still need to send an attache to spain.
69% consumer goods
nice
Lmao. Why look at build civs later convert to mil idea. Just saying civ is built in say 45 days + 1 day to convert: 46, while a mil is built in 30 days flat. Choice is no brainer.
Don't do the medium lobbying effort. Spam small lobbying effort instead.
Medium lobbying effort is free at the beginning of the game. Makes it infinity better than small lobbying effort.
you can actually out do this, there is a way to get on war economy in 1936 whilst getting rid of the great depression and upping your conscription law all at the same time
I believe another youtuber has already done a video on it though, if someone wants in the replies I'll find the channel
what, violating the naval treaties?
@@TrevorSmithy Yee although it is usually considered to be a exploit unless your playing a none historical USA
Yeah I did it. I linked the video in the description. There is a reason I specified without exploit. Even then the slightly commie path is kind of exploity.
There's also no particular reason to hold focus, or at least, it seems like a bit of a waste in my eyes. Yes, you get rid of the debuff slightly faster, but you can't actually complete Giant Wakes any faster since you're waiting for Japan to declare war anyways, so putting yourself getting rid of the Great Depression slightly faster doesn't seem super impactful, although perhaps I should try it the other way and see how it feels then.
Edit: Seems like I'm remembering something about the timing wrong, I'd have to go through it again to check how I did the build, but you're probably saving 120 days of Great Depression debuff at the cost of 20 focus days, which should be a net gain overall.
Or just let japan declare war on you and let them take your core state and press button :D
Sounds like an exploit to me hahaha
Glad this is banned in most hist games now.
