Hoi is weird hahah. I imagine she just sits at the throne eating most exquisitely prepared meals, sleeping in a cozy bed. Being a pepper of the military
This was true because a Polish regimen found a boy down in Iran and he was holding a bear and then they took care of them and then they were part of an artillery regiment in the pharaoh court carried the cargo to the artillery spots and then the bear became the mascot of the unit
The etymology of "Berlin" is an old word for "bear". Same for Bern, Switzerland and a few other places in Europe. So yeah, Berlin is already Bear City. :)
I love how in real real he only became a corporal which to be fair for a bear is an astounding achievement but in this game you can loterally make him the king of half of Eurasia
This is my mom’s worst nightmare in the most literal sense imaginable. she literally had a nightmare when she was young were an army of bears took over the world and ate everyone. She was in Yellowstone with her family and my dad, who she was still dating at that time, and they saw some bears nearby. They all got out to watch them while my mom was having a breakdown in the car because she thought they were gonna charge them and kill them all, she was screaming for them all to get in the car… the bears were several hundred feet away from them.
I was just in tennessee about a month ago and literally had a bear run past me and my daughter less than 5 feet away. Granted it was a black bear and probably an adolescent, but it still could have easily killed us and it was a very surreal experience. Just having a wild bear close enough to reach out and touch is crazy.
Bruh I was so convinced this was a troll. Especially when you randomly said you needed the artillery focus for the event to trigger. Absolutely hilarious.
All hail King Wojtek, May his reign be prosperous and peaceful I'll expand this later, feel free to add your own line for King Wojtek Original Comment: The first monarch to fight on the front lines since Napoleon
The isolated trade policy can be changed when you have another port, here it was when Lithuania was annexed. Also the new changes from the open beta which is now normal as of yesterday reduces the chances of spies getting captured SIGNIFICANTLY
@Justin Sanchez yes but in the tungsten update released I think yesterday the detection chance of nkvd advisors has been reduced from 5% base to 0.2%. It also tooltips forming Austro-Hungarian empire and annexing czechoslovakia and other stuff like removing agrarian society from India etc
@kaidenhall2718 well it did happen. He was kind of very much a propaganda mascot at some point, but the true thing is that soldier bough him off as a small cub off some illegal poachers and taught him to carry munitions and be like their mascot, supposedly some Italian spy didn't hear about it, so when he saw a fucking bear in the showers he thought he'd get mauled and got caught
If you dropped this video 2 seeks ago this would be perfectly paired with Polands Independence Day, but still great video as always. Also you read Polish names nearly perfectly, im impressed.
Honesly I love the idea of the Polish Resistance using the distraction of the Winter War to shove into the USSR. (Poland was captured almost exactly 1 month before the winter war began)

Protip for getting cores on Lithuania quickly: annex them, release them as a puppet, and do the commonwealth focus, which will give you cores on Latvia and Lithuania, and will annex both if they’re your subjects.
The irony of Poland being ruled by a homeless woman claiming to be Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova - A woman from the German-Russian aristocratic house of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov, and who's mother (Alix von Hessen-Darmstadt aka Alix von Hessen und bei Rhein, later Empress Alexandra Feodorovna) is actually German.
You can tell that he isn't used to Poland as he gets mobilization before the noble beaurocrat (+15% pp +15% stability) Edit: abolishing class segregation is better than nationalist education as for Poland stability is more important than war support that jumps to 100% the moment you're attacked and non core manpower is better than some bonus for attack and defence in core states.
I'll be honest, thus is probably one of the most fun runs you've done in _Hearts of Iron VI._ Even some of the Fallout: New Vegas and MLP runs pale in comparison to just how OP you made Poland and how quickly WOrld War II got resolved. I'm really hoping there's an alternate universe where, instead of the Soviet Union, there is now The Slavic Republic of Poland. That would likely end to a lot of Pollock jokes.
In the history books this will look weird, 1936 some random homelss woemn becomes queen of poland after claiming to be romanov, proceeds to conquer eastern europe and then the entire soviet union and germany, they find she is a fraud and replace with bear
If you go Cossack king and Germany goes for the kaiser, you can rush down Germany during the civil war,the wargoal should be ready as soon as the civil war ends and Germany should have practically no divisions
Now you can use an Easter egg (Romanov) to unlock and Easter egg (Wojtek), to get an Easter egg (Wojtek on the thrown), to unlock another Easter egg (Funny polar bear land)

To explain what was going on with the embargoed economy stakuyi Danzig was your only port, but they didn't want to be a part of poland, so they embargoed and completely blocked you from using your only port. in history, the Polish got around this by exporting through the baltic states (with a high tax) but by absorbing Lithuania, you also gained access to their ports, and you completely bypassed danzig, and basically gave the germans in the city the middle finger.
Those who don't know history; "A bear was made an officer!?! Thats stupid!" Those who do know history; "Wojtek, you served well. May you rest in peace." *07*

I think she deserves a great retirement life because of her efforts.
The in-game text makes it even better. "Maybe we dismissed that other candidate too fast."
I'd like to think King Wojtek still lets her live in his house, as a Lady-in-Waiting or a "translator" or something.

Ya, I think we have to join too!”
10:10 the reason why you could change from embargoed ecconmoy was that you got another port so you dont have to use danzig
-Homeless woman shows up
-Conquers all of Europe
-Refuses to elaborate
-Is overthrown by a bear
I think a way you can bypass the Embargoed Economy is by obtaining another port (i.e annexing Lithuania)
Obligatory "The Winged Hasurs arrived" reference.
Poland + Slovakia + Lithuania + Latvia + Estonia looks like a bear riding another bear
- Lie and become ruler of Poland
- become one of the greatest conquerors in history
-get deposted of by a bear
That’s a good leader tho, amazing stats
I’m mean, Wojtek has my vote if he ran.
