Instead of throwing the ethiopian skeletons out of the basement marking a new year without ethiopia. You have decided on starting the year with ethiopia. I dont think thats the greatest start to the year with all the annoying formables but okay if you want to suffer even more
What a good start of the year, with our favorite country Ethiopia. At the end of this series we are going to give you money so you can you to therapy, you deserved it
New Year, New Ethiopia video, glad to see all is right in the world. The reason Switzerland doesn't surrender is because they can get a national spirit that makes their surrender limit 0%, and each tile is worth a very small amount of war score. This makes it so you have to capture every tile to capitulate them, unless you build a collab government to reduce their surrender limit.
I love that the capital of jimma is jiren lmao Also italo means: he who comes from Italy, and fun fact we also have a female version: Italia, yes like the name of the country
I really love your content, the way you speak and interact with this fucking game is so relatable ( I still abuse save/load feature, I still have absolutely no idea how the navel invasion works, and how factories and railway too.)
I sorted all formable nations in the alphabetical order order. It's only me or this series actually doesn't follow perfect order? Here is the sorted list: 1. African Union 2. Aksumite Empire 3.

Another thing that few people bring up when discussing bad paths is the fact that the longevity is all screwed up. A WW2 simulator like HOI4 is awful with "slow start" countries that require you to go down the focus tree to fix your nation's issues because by the time it's all fixed, the war is over and you won't have any enemies left to fight. Ethiopia is the worst because even without talking about the fascist path, you barely even actually "get" anything. You just fix issues. Oh, so you no longer have negative debuffs? Pretty much every single other minor country gets that for FREE at the beginning of the game. The only country that averts this is Italy, because the tree is so massive you actually have to choose what you have to leave behind in order to improve your situation. So you could have a strong airforce and industry, but your political scene, navy and ground army would suffer because you're not focusing on reforming them. HOI4, out of all Paradox games, is just begging for actual DLC extensions that add post-war game content. Maybe a bigger tech tree, smaller peace deals that force you to fight larger country multiple times to annex it (like in EU4), and formable nations with their own focus trees, so you actually have something to look forward to after winning a single war.
I need help I’ve been trying to form the EU as democratic Netherlands and the stupid Czechs liberated ONE core from Germany and I can’t figure out how to invade them sense they’re also a democracy.
I think you should try out EU4, it isnt THAT complicated and it has so many more things that can go wrong, in addition to losing wars, having no manpower, weaker troops and everybody around you hating that you exist, you also have bankruptcy, loans, breaking alliances, the holy roman empire where if you attack a nation literally everyone will try to kill you, sailors in addition to manpower, a feature that limits the amount of land you can actually control, rebels, rebels, rebels and rebels as well as bad events, bad RNG when fighting wars, bad RNG when it comes to your leaders, waay too many peacedeals where the nation you want to annex survives with one province and an overcomplicated trade system. Its super fun!
Video ideas: I call it "tenno's unpossible challenges" 1) “The Great Desert” As Xibei San Ma, defeat Japan whenever you want, but without allies (which as far as I know is only possible in the RT56 mod) and without changing ideology. They must not have attacked other countries before 2) “Manchurian Siberia” As Manchuria, conquer all of Siberia as a puppet of Japan. But first, set the focus tree focus for Japan to “Neutral”. 3) “The Iranian Middle East” As Iran, conquer Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Oman and all French and British colonies in the Middle East without allies 4) “Blood Type: Mountain” As Tibet/Nepal/Bhutan, conquer all core provinces of China (e.g. China, XSM, GXC, etc.). 5) “The Best 30” As the German Empire no longer train troops; You can keep the starting divisions (30 in number) and improve them as you wish 6) “From Enclosed to Engaging” As a Chinese warloard without a coast, reach a coast and naval-invade all European countries with a coast. You are not allowed to have allies. 7) “unimagined potential” As Menjiang, you are only allowed to own and fight with heavy tanks. You are not allowed to accept help from Japan
I am glad to annouce my Ethiopia mod is nearly complete, introducing a formable nation for every ethnic group within Ethiopia. I am sure you will love it! We have reached a grand total of 36 formables in East Africa now! What do you mean they all look the same, with minor differences?
Fun fact: Bulgaria is white when the Zveno coups them Random fact about Zveno: They supported the idea of a Yugoslavia that included Bulgaria and Albania
Tbqh i don't think allowdiplo in that situation is cheating. The spirit of the focus is that you're fighting for independence and to reclaim all your land. That republican government which only controlled venice would probably be more willing to let you have independence than the italian social republic and did not control your land, therefore it makes no sense that you would attack them and not the other one.
The (semi) competent Frenchman is back at it again! Great video as usual, you actually made Africa’s borders look good for once in HoI4 history Uganda never happened Uganda never happened Uganda never happened Uganda never happened Uganda never happened Uganda never happened Uganda never happened Uganda never happened
He just challenged bittersteel to save his game
He ain’t gonna do it. There’s some battles you just can’t win 🤷♂️
@@_HollowBeing_Yeah… He has yet to touch my 1953 Spanish Commune game I sent him a year ago😉
You know a game is going great when you ask "Why is Bulgaria white?"
pleaseee send the gojjam game to bittersteel hehe
Instead of throwing the ethiopian skeletons out of the basement marking a new year without ethiopia. You have decided on starting the year with ethiopia. I dont think thats the greatest start to the year with all the annoying formables but okay if you want to suffer even more
I tried uploading earlier and NOTICED AN EDITING MISTAKE AN HOUR BEFORE MIDNIGHT 💀
What a good start of the year, with our favorite country Ethiopia.
At the end of this series we are going to give you money so you can you to therapy, you deserved it
I like how you technically were gojjam for all of 5 seconds
There’s a hidden formable in Denmark called greater Denmark
It's based on rng.
The democratic one with Skåne and pomerania, right?
@@512TheWolf512 doesn’t have to be Democratic
@@vladtheimaplertepes nah you just gotta control Schweig and skane for it to fire and have over 100k in the field
"British France" is like "Portuguese Spain", "German Russia", "Italian Yugoslavia", "Japanese China", "Soviet Finland"
Nah we once controlled more of France than France
bro deserves free therapy just for playing ethiopia for the 3rd time and destroying his mental health again for us at this point
Another day of Ethiopia, another day of profound despair.

Negu: supreme leader of ethiopia
What way to start the year, 2 Ethiopia formable! Now can't for Dec 31st for more another Ethiopia video to end 2024 on high note🤞
If they add another one in the next dlc imma be fuming
I love that the capital of jimma is jiren lmao
Also italo means: he who comes from Italy, and fun fact we also have a female version: Italia, yes like the name of the country

I love when he plays ethiopia
I haven’t seen a hollow video since last year

Its super fun!
can you turn off the hoi4 day night shift cycle please cause it makes it harder to look at the map when its night
Happy new year
you are my new second favourite hoi4 tuber
If you think Ethiopia is fun wait until you have to unite Polynesia
DO. NOT. REMIND. ME.
Ethiopia has ANOTHER formable, and you need to go to the left path and simp to Italy
Jimman erm guys IS THIS A REFERENCE TO GMAN ??
Video ideas:

this would be torture
In hoi5 they should make ethiopia weaker but also have like 15 more formables
Waiting for bittersteel to comment

What do you mean they all look the same, with minor differences?
I know you’re joking but do NOT give anyone any ideas 😭
When you do Ostland, the moment you form it in vanilla, the video should switch to TNO or TWR, cause vanilla ostland is NOT worth it
I really wish you could form burgundy in vanilla. Maybe it is a good thing we can’t tho
Oli London is British. I expect a full apology video for Australians.
Oh god I’m so sorry
😂😂😂@@_HollowBeing_
No way moeredux mentioned!!!!
Wowza.
GOD I LOVE PLAYING ETHIOPIA IN HOI4 😊
You can get chieve of army by making him your Field Marchal
I see that you've started the year with rock bottom so that the only way you can go is up
Could you sendme the save i want to save it ^^
Ok
He still dont know 😥
I'll guess, there's another ethiophian formable
Babe,Discount isp just uploaded

Yo bro i think you were at war with Germany at the end there
Fun fact: Bulgaria is white when the Zveno coups them
Random fact about Zveno: They supported the idea of a Yugoslavia that included Bulgaria and Albania

My favorite anime is hearts of iron
Could have just put historical focuses on
Yippee no more Ethiopia :D
based, now subscribed
I hear Ethiopia is a nice place to hide from international police
Bro send it to bittersteel to see what he would do here
Tbqh i don't think allowdiplo in that situation is cheating. The spirit of the focus is that you're fighting for independence and to reclaim all your land. That republican government which only controlled venice would probably be more willing to let you have independence than the italian social republic and did not control your land, therefore it makes no sense that you would attack them and not the other one.

Ethiopia was a fucking badly designed country, you have 0 advantages and get 0 benefits from any path you do.
Why didn’t u just set Germany to go historical so they stay fascist
"Anime friends" weirdo
