@JL-CptAtom The ad hominem is a derogatory term that Jewish people use against non-Jews and you use it in a post-ironic sense. You dont like what you think is going on and you think its all the Jews, like other crazy wannabe neo-nazis believe. I didnt say your sources were wrong, just that they are fringe politics that ride on the train of some sort of ethno-nationalism, believeing that, "The Jews are trying to replace us" (with the whole mass immigration into Europe and so on).

As Serbia, provoke and win WW2: 1. Start a war with the Axis (They must initially be at peace). 2. Get the Allies to join you. 3. Survive until the Axis capitulates.
I have a challenge for you. Make all majors non aligned, you can be any nation, if you pick Germany and go kaiserreich you must do rebuild the high seas fleet. You can justify on anyone, flip idiologys if you somehow find a way to make that benaficial, and you can execute order 66. I love your channel and your content, support from the USA.

making the joke that communism = no food is so silly that you could basically argue that the irish potato famine is because of communism because no food right?
One thing to have made your strategy better.. The UK has 'Scandinavian Intervention' as a focus and they are way more likely to intervene there than Iraq in my games. And, the Soviet Union's 'Baltic Security' focus gives +0.10 Communist pressure to Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Since these are the only countries the Soviet Union can increase communist popularity on through focuses, this would have been the better strategy had you needed it. But a good video anyway, I like the odd political maneuvering challenge.
As a next challenge do non-aligned poland and try to survive the germans and the soviets until both are defeated, you are not allowed to switch to fascism or communism or join the axis or the comintern
He recently did this (as Lithuania, but tbh forming the polish-lithuanian Commonwealth was probably going to be the only logical step for either of them)
Play as Greece and try rebuilding Alexander's Macedonian empire with the borders it had at its peak (or as close as possible), but you are not allowed to use an airforce or motorised units, just infantry and cavalry divisions, and of course your navy, like good old Ancient Greece. To make it a bit harder you're not allowed to puppet countries and intergrate them later, whatever territory you take, you take for good (but you are allowed to make puppets of other countries and join factions).
Well, then he should start as Yugoslavia and release Macedonia(if it's possible on this version), shouldn't he? Sorry, I just want to know if you take the bait. Nevertheless, I like your idea ;)
I’m doing a hoi4 series where the viewers decide what happens to Hungary like declare wars or make better division template, over all this will be a let’s play, where you decide
the only challenge that is really a challenge is the following: Win a game as germany, while playing Expert AI 4.0 with everything turned to hardest and also all enemy sliders maxed out with allied and own sliders at 0. It is tougher than any "challenge" I have ever seen someone do in hoi4. That takes some actual skill and strategy and cleverness. Every single player video on hoi4 is just stupidly boring, cause there is absolutely no way to lose the game, because it is so easy.
Do the One factory challenge. As Germany, You're only allowed to use one military factory and Naval dockyard throughout the game with the goal being to take out the Allies and Comintern.
When you moved your entire navy to Japan I couldn't help but think. "Yah, because that well we'll last time" I really hope I wasn't the only one thinking that.
I have a challenge idea. Play as Belgium, join the axis (or allies of no alliance, whatever you like) and conquer Europe. It doesn’t matter if you directly annex places or Puppet them but try and conquer europe. (If you’ve done this before and I just haven’t found it then ignore this)
Play as Argentina and take all the cities that gives you a "the fall of..." event you can't : -shadow puppet -puppet -annex state that are not needed for the challenge -join one of the tree main factions Also try to have senõr Hilter
Idk if you figure this out later, but just in case, coup strength is based upon the percentage of when you start the coup, not the end. When you start a coup, cancel the party popularity. You're just throwing PP away.
@@Taureor I quickly checked some forums and the consensus I've seen is that the coup factors in the ideology percentage when you start it, not when you end it. That being said, that was from a quick check from a couple of forums, so take that as you will.
challenge: as germany defeat the allies and the comintern using only heavy tank divisions. (you can use motorized/cavalry but you have to have at least 1 heavy tank battalion for 4 motorized/cavalry battalion for your template)
I know that world tension effects on the time of declaring, but is there any other factors? It is very important for me, because as soviet union or germany i destroy everyone by 1939 and only thing that keeps me away from world domination is 325+ days of declaring war :) I hope i will receive answer, because i haven't found anything on hoi4 forums. English is not my native language. Im russian, so i can make some mistakes in grammar.
will you try beating the challenge after the new dlc. It is even a new achievment when you must start in 1939 and play as poland and inflict 1,8 milion casualties.
