This is by far one of the absolute best guides out there for Germany, and with a unique strategy too, I'd say. Thank you so much for this. Your channel is the only hoi4-related one that actually helps its viewers become better at playing the game. Please keep releasing these long-format unedited videos!
Great guide for early game Germany, still relevant and useful today. Liked and subbed! Super job man, think I will be having alot of fun with your HOI4 guides. Hard to find step by step guides without editing these days, which can be sometimes difficult for noobs to fully navigate (600 hours played lol). Glad to see you have videos furthering the guide into later years. Awesome stuff man.
What a coincidence! After playing as Turkey, following your guide, I decided to do a run as GER using your template recommendations. Totally dominating. Took out the Allies by 1/31/1940 and wishing I hadn't done the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact so I could go after SOVs summer of '40. Looking forward to your approach!
I'm currently editing the next episode of this series (dedicated to Barbarossa)! I think signing the Molotov-Ribbentropp pact is a good idea, or the Soviet Union might attack you during WW2. What you can do, however, is selecting the "War with the USSR" focus while you are still at war, in that way you'll be able to attack them, regardless of the non aggression pact, in the fall of 1940 (you'll end up fighting them in winter though). I launched my offensive in November and fought them in winter for an extra challenge! They were defeated in July 1941 with over 4M casualties vs my 25k!
That’s why I regretted signing it, as I couldn’t get a war goal in time for summer 1940. That said, I only had one tank army ready by then, so it would’ve been harder in that regard, but after taking them on and winning with Turkey, one tank army and almost no manpower, still way doable. Winter sounds fun too!
Thanks for the videos, I like your guides the best. Very thorough and easy to follow. Whenever I start a game following your guides, it ends up being one of my best games ever.
You are a life saver! I have learned so much from your channel and you really make me learn new stuff all the time, especially with the unedited videos like this one, keep up the good work! Grazie!!
THANK you so much for this guide. I got the game recently and i got dissapointed of how bad my games as 3rd Reich were going.... Got my first win after watching your guide
This is always so much fun! The only thing I do differently (to make it more challenging) is leaving the UK and USA for last, it's too easy otherwise...
Thank you for a great video, please, upload unedited versions whenever possible, it is great to see everything in detail. I do few things differently: i send volunteers to ethiopia (not to Italy) at the beginning - you can easily hold italians in the north with basic infantry and get more Mxp from the war (but no Axp if i remember correctly). This way you can farm mountaineer/desert rat for 1-3 infantry generals which pushes them closer to adaptable. Same in spain - whomever you send the divs to, you can farm multiple traits - both terrains to adaptable (mountaineer and hill fighter are ez to get) and logi/panzer/cav/mech/trickster etc with enough micro for 2-3 generals and 2marshals) Infantry generals you can continue to farm in China for either attack or defense.
Thank you for your comment! I like your idea of sending volunteers to Ethiopia (if you send them to Italy they remain stuck in there until WW2), but can you save them? I assume Italy will push at some point.
Also - would you recommend tech juggling? I find it working pretty well mainly for the industry techs at the start but still not sure whether to use the bonuses on 1937 or 1939 ahead of time
It is usually not the best if used on researches which are way ahead of time. But I personally do not tech juggle in general, as it feels a bit like abusing game mechanics in an unintended way (I hold the same philosophy on Space Marines, paratrooper spam on victory points and so on). I think in single player these strategies are not required to succeed at the game. Still, this is entirely personal, nothing wrong with doing it of course!
The choices made in this guide didn't make sense to me until I saw the results of the peace conference. I thought you were going to struggle with a lack of civs and IIRC you didn't take total mob. But the peace conference took care of it. The warfare was also impressive. Great guide!
Thank you! My approach is a bit different from some of the famous guides, but I found this strategy to offer the best final results! Naturally, we heavily rely on the peace conference, meaning that this strategy would be less suitable for a longer, more historical, WW2.
@@MachiavellianStrategist I've learned quite a bit from your guides over the last few hours. I was making tanks with too much hard attack, and never used spearhead. I struggled with the UK sea lion, I didn't know about using agents to help get naval superiority. My next campaign will be so much better, thanks!
@@MachiavellianStrategist I have a quick question if you have time for it. I am planning my next Germany campaign. My question is in regard to the focus tree, as I know the tooltips don't always tell you the whole impact. I am thinking of skipping 3 focus choices: Molotov Ribbentropp pact, anti-comintirm pact, and war with the USSR. If I understand peace conference correctly I can just puppet what I would get with Molotov Ribbentropp pact, and leave the rest not taken in the peace conference. Then I would use fast manual justification time on the Soviets. I would also not garrison Eastern Poland. Maybe too risky, not sure.
@@Avalanche_Mudder04 you definitely can skip those 3 focuses. Mind, however, that the USSR might attack you without the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Having the pact and those focuses allows us to be in full control of when to start Barbarossa, so that's the main advantage. Moreover, Germany has a quite underwhelming focus tree, so there isn't usually much else worth taking instead. If you try, please let me know how it goes with the USSR, and if that causes any issues.
okay... that amount of losses you got from poland made me think "is this real is he using mods... damn hes using battleplans and making it look like he microed he must be the goat" i deadass stood up from confusion so please keep up the great content bro. love from Denmark
Every time I see a your video I say: "oh, it seems so easy! Let's open again HOI for a new game... nah, I will finish the guide later."... than I will be stopped also by Belgium army without any effort. Close the game, came back to watch RUclips do it because is more relaxing than play it! ahaha
Hahaha in a way that happens to me too! I test my strategies several times before recording, and then of course every time I am actually recording it, something does not go according to plans!
Im trying to watch all your hoi4 videos because they are excellent as im new to hoi4. I was wondering if you would do a road to 56 mod guide. I haven't play it all but it looks really interesting. Thanks for all your great video. I dont understand why you dont have 10s of thousands of subscribers because your videos are the best by far thanks mate, and keep making hoi4 please.
Thank you! It is still a young channel but we will grow! I plan to play mods too in future, unfortunately I only have limited time to dedicate to RUclips at the moment. If the channel keeps growing I'll be able to make more content for sure!
this guide is so awesome and detailed , can you do a guide for hungary , bulgaria and japan too ??? i personally just spam 1 inf battalion division until i have around 140 so i can send 7 divisions to spain , and then slowly convert those 140 spam divisions into actual usable 21 width divisions
Thank you!! I already have one for Japan:ruclips.net/video/cs-jlC_IzlA/видео.htmlsi=mD3S6rEqICdaNTec Hungary is already on my list, as soon as I have time hehe! Bulgaria could be interesting too, although I was planning to play with Bulgaria first.
due to your guide i was able to conquer mainland britain for the first time. only issue i ran into was for some reason i had a mass deficit in planes when i went to war
@@SoloDolo01 congratulations! Getting the job done is the first goal hehe! Not sure what happened with the planes, but consider that my F2 design trades so well with enemy planes that you can easily wipe out the enemy airforce even when starting at great disadvantage!
@@MachiavellianStrategist Too bad Sweden has a +250% to Embargo tension limit when going historical, meaning Germany has to generate 90 world tension, at which point it's a bit late to embargo them. Still I kind of want to play democratic Sweden, get the Finnish Volunteer core (to get ride of Neutral Foreign Policy so I can Embargo Germany and see what happens.
@@Jo-Heike Germany can still import from the USSR though, at least until Barbarossa. And by that time they will have taken everything they need from the Allies.
When I annex the dutch east indies and the netherlands early on(pretty much as soon I get the political power and the justification completes), USA guarantees belgium and Luxembourg. Is it normal?
@@ICBM_launcher democracies usually guarantee the countries you are justifying on after the world tension reaches 25%. It is usually the UK, or France, but the USA can do that as well. I would generally recommend against early wars with Germany, as you lose the fantastic MEFO bills.
Not a major issue, but why go for Eastern Claims (Memel) before Fate of Czechoslovakia? The time it takes is the same, but you have 70 days worth of production of the rest of Czech lands if you get to Fate of Czechoslovakia first.
My overall thinking was based on these elements: - There is one more focus before the Fate Of Czechoslovakia so it would take 140 days instead of 70. - Memel is a core territory while Czechoslovakia is not. - Fate Of Czechoslovakia requires more deployed manpower (but this really should not be an issue) - I wanted to minimize RNG for potential non-historical runs, and while Czechoslovakia often does weird stuff in non-historical, it is usually possible to claim Memel early. But even considering all of these, it is likely that there would be a slight advantage in going for Fate Of Czechoslovakia first like you suggested (at least on historical runs), so I would say that you can totally swap the two focuses!
@@MachiavellianStrategist Yes, it is 140 days to complete Fate of Czech, then you get the factories there. But if you do Memel first, then it's 210 days until you get the factories. So, if you go for Fate of Czech before Memel, you get 70 days of factory use you would not get if you go for Memel first. Not a huge factor, obviously, but Czechoslovakia has 16 civs and 9 mils of which like 3-4 are in the Slovakia side meaning you get 70 days worth of most of that production assuming you puppet Slovakia. Love the videos. Just joined as member.
I'm currently playing as Germany and I'm a little bit worried about the fact that I started the war with Poland in 1940 and the Soviet Union is going to be very strong by the time I defeat the Allies. Any tips on how to beat countries faster with very few casualties? In war with Poland they are currently 5k(Germany) and 250k for them.
Hi! The Allies will fall very quickly don't worry! You can see the follow up video to this guide (on Barbarossa) to see how to easily defeat the Soviets too! The best way to avoid casualties is simply to only use armored divisions for your offensives, but there is also always a little bit of rng involved. 5k vs 250k seems pretty good to me! Let me know how it goes, and if you have any questions!
@@DeclanReid-m1v hi, yes the plane designer is related to the by blood alone dlc. And later on the tank designer is unlocked with the no step back dlc. Both dlcs are worth it in my opinion, as they add great tools to the game.
Thank you!! I tried it once when I played as Turkey (the spreadsheet is actually still in my shared folder, but it might be outdated). The thing is, I found fascist Turkey to be much better overall, so I abandoned that strategy. I might go back to it in future, since I was thinking about making guides for all great empires (Roman Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire and Ottoman Empire)!
Btw, when u draw a custom frontline with the intention of putting trucks behind, how do u actually do that? my trucks always go in between the infantry div frontline and the tank div frontline?
@@Snowiestttv Hi! I just assign the trucks to the same exact front as the tanks. You do have to periodically adjust it though, because the AI loves to mess it up constantly. Make sure you are assigning fronts individually with each army, and not the entire theater with the marshal.
Hi, can you please explain the role and the benefits of using a flame tank support in your tank division? I havent used it before, and the raw stats that it provides seem so low. 1hour10min in the video when you make the change
@@matass95 hi! So basically the flame tank company (all of them, but the medium one in particular) offers some fantastic buffs to the combat performance of your units in several terrains. So that's why, despite the very low stats of the tank itself, the company is always worth the investment. I think I explained it more in detail in this older video: ruclips.net/video/sn_lx7Kn-Cs/видео.htmlsi=MgPu37yn4de3Z619
Hi! The description of the trait is very poor and misleading so it creates some confusion... If you look at the wording carefully, it says that Panzer Expert buffs armored DIVISIONS, while for combined arms expert they did not even write it, but once again it buffs motorized or mechanized DIVISIONS not BATTALIONS. A division with more that 40% armored battalions counts as an armored division. So our armored divisions only benefit from panzer expert, because they do no count as mechanized/motorized divisions. If you had a division with more than 60% mechanized/motorized, then it would be better to pick combined arms expert instead. Finally (again terrible description), defence is referring to the defence-stat and the breakthrough-stat (I know it sounds terribly stupid). This means that panzer expert increases the breakthrough-stat as well as the defence-stat for armored division, same for all traits that increase defence of something and the defence skill of the general itself.
Hello, great video. Was wondering, how manageable would an ultra-historical playthrough be? For example, Anschluss in March 1938, seizing the Czech lands and puppeting Slovakia in March 1939, invading France, Denmark and Norway in the spring/summer of 1940. This would impose industrial struggles, but is it possible? Thanks.
Hi and thank you! It is definitely possible, the war will get tougher later on if you keep it historical by not invading the UK. But it can be a very fun run! I actually tried something like that a while ago, here is my run in case you are interested: ruclips.net/video/boG24jigVsQ/видео.htmlsi=zxsv0x019n7VXlLG
So I followed your spreadsheet but I think I was a bit too good/aggressive in Spain and the Republicans won. In the game, I am immediately after the Spanish Civil War and am following the spreadsheet otherwise. Is a Republican Spain going to mess up the plan?
They might because they usually become a puppet of the USSR. So they might stop you from getting Spain and Portugal until Barbarossa. Not the biggest issue, but not ideal. Still, good job winning the civil war, it's not that easy haha
Wow that's really strange because they are subjects, I don't even think they have a choice! Unfortunately with the latest patches the AI behavior became a little strange for things like this. In any case, if everything else went alright, it means you did a great job!
@MachiavellianStrategist yeah, I was surprised too. It ended up being a big mess because Canada was somehow considered a major so a free Canada and India stayed in war with me after the conference, it's very weird. I'm fighting the Soviets, the USA, India, Canada and Italy rn. It's a bit chaotic.
@@Azqalihm the good thing is you can destroy all of them easily, the bad is that you need to go there and fight in terrible terrains with no supplies...
you telling me you did a historical Germany guide and didn't do Operation Barbarossa? Seriously!? That's the most fun part to play! It was Germany's main goal from the beginning was to destroy the Soviet Union and do not do so is simply a crime against the viewers!
Mmh ...not sure if is the fact i have no DLC but as soon as i invade Poland, Denmark, Belgium and Switzerland all invade with support from american, British and french troops .. your run you have no troops on their borders and they do not attack ... so confused especially why on historical does Switzerland align with allies and attack
Hi! It should not be a dlc problem, it seems more like a bug if you are on historical. Especially Switzerland and the US really should not get involved, no matter what. If you have a save, could you send it at machiavellianstrategist@gmail.com? I'll try to give it a look!
Hi Andy! So I checked your save and it is incredibly strange, never seen anything like that haha. It almost looks like you went for non-historical AI focus due to the amount of strangeness in it. There are countries in the Allies that should absolutely not be part of them and I cannot make sense of how they could even join. The USA for example needs the world tension to be at 100% in order to even be able to join the Allies, let alone the fact that they should not join before 1941. Chile, Switzerland, Sweden, should not be part of the Allies either. I am really not sure what causes it. You did not follow my focuses, and possibly creating a faction with the USSR can affect the behavior of some of the other countries, but it should definitely not do it to this extent. Maybe some mods? Or maybe it really was without historical AI focuses?
@@MachiavellianStrategist It was with historical on and as i mentioned i did two runs and both happened like this. I do not have any mods. One thing i did do was to send volunteers to Ethiopia and China to gain easy XP. I thought maybe that caused it so did another run and only sent volunteers to Spain and everything played out normally ... thanks for taking a look :)
hehe it will come do not worry! I decided to wait for the new DLC to release (this Friday) before recording it, just in case the DLC patch changes anything important in the strategy.
So I was gonna watch this and then play but I played and kinda came out on top with 1000k factories a decently large army the biggest navy a great airforce and I beat the allies and the soviets
@@GobsmackedIHATENI that's pretty similar then, we get over 1k just after defeating the USSR (in the next video of this series) amazing job nonetheless!
I did and clicked everything exactly like you did but i ran out of fuel much faster, didnt gain air experience much as you did and also my construction was much slower and didnt finished in sync like you did. do you know why is that? i made sure everything i did was exactly the same
Hi! The air experience is a bit rng related, it really depends on how things in Spain go, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Running out of fuel might be related to many factors, but you can probably fix it by importing some oil from the USSR. Also make sure your fleets aren't doing anything because the burn fuel incredibly fast. The different building timing is what surprises me the most, that really should not be affect by any rng elements. I cannot think about any possible reason for that, did it mean that you could not get your army ready in time for WW2?
@@MachiavellianStrategist i had my army ready and i was really focused on video and made sure that EVERY click was the same and all the researches, focus timings was the same but construction was way more different than you was and i ran out of fuel even when i dont train navy or anything, i was simply only training the army like you did, i even synced the poland and the france war but i couldnt declare war on yugoslavia even if i did send war goal at the same time you did, the last one broke my run and had me wait months to attack yugoslavia and rest went into shit lol. do you know why did these happen?
@@llawliet1837 the fuel and the constructions might be connected (in the sense that you possibly were behind in terms of refineries and consequently had less fuel). But why the timing was out of sync remains a mystery, I really have no idea. But I'm sure nothing has changed since I made this guide, so there must be something we are missing. What happened with Yugoslavia? The timing of the claim was not right? How different was it? With 100% world tension and while at war with a major (UK/France) it should only take 20-30 days. However, you must make sure not to start it while another claim is still being fabricated.
@@MachiavellianStrategist It must be some random rng or i think i was not careful enough, nevertheless thank you so much for answering this fast with details, i recently started playing hoi4 and you was the most helpful ever, im still trying to learn the game and your videos are incredible. i love the fact that its unedited. keep making the best hoi4 videos ever hahaha
@@MachiavellianStrategist btw i sent claim at the same day you did to yugoslavia, but i couldnt declare war on them like you did. idk why this happened
Certo come preferisci. Non c'è grande differenza, ma io preferisco i puppet perché così risparmi in termini di garrison e ti crei una serie di stati cuscinetto che non possono essere attaccati a meno che tu non li chiami in guerra.
@@paolocavallo6515 quando occupi territori in cui non hai core devi spendere del manpower per gestire la resistenza, mentre quando hai puppet non c'è resistenza. Il numero di fabbriche, così come di risorse varia un po' in base a diversi fattori. Annettendo di solito prendi un po' di più in termini di fabbriche, ma creando puppet con resource rights e war reparations ottieni il massimo in termini di risorse. Puoi poi gradualmente ridurre il livello di autonomia dei puppet ottenendo più risorse e fabbriche (volendo puoi anche annetterli più avanti).
@@paolocavallo6515 è solo pratica hehe, hoi4 è un po' ostico all'inizio ma una volta che entri nelle meccaniche di base diventa tutto più semplice! Detto ciò, imparo nuove cose ad ogni run anche io haha
What happens if you help Spain actually beat Nationalist Spain? I'm following this and so far so good, except I've had great success in Spain. I have Nationalist Spain pushed all the way to the sea in the North almost. I took their original capital, and they are at 72% towards capitulation, whereas Spain is only 19%. It occurred to me, maybe we really shouldn't win here? You did say, it's not a war you need to win we're only there to farm XP. It's March 1938. I did get the Gold Reserve event too.
Hi! If you win Spain will become a puppet of the Soviet Union, so we really don't want to win hehe! But in my experience, if you stop helping them they always lose, even if they were almost winning before!
@@MachiavellianStrategist Noooooo! Haha ok thanks. I will back off for a little then. Although, we really have them on the ropes. I'll hope that Nat. Spain can regain some ground, then I will scatter my 5 divisions around so they keep fighting but only in stalemate situations. Great guide! Enjoying the run so far.
@@MachiavellianStrategist Hey Mac, I messed up and Nationalist Spain couldn't come back after I backed off. Spain won. They are still fighting Aragon though. Should I justify war against Spain before the Soviets puppet them as you mention? It's 210 days to justify. It's July 3, 1938. Thanks.
It is not absolutely essential, I opted for this choice to make this strategy as viable as possible in non-historical scenarios. Since Austria can be taken by other countries in non-historical (mainly Hungary) annexing it as fast as possible is ideal.
Hi, I have all DLCs enabled in this run, but the overall strategy does not require them. I would say that the most important ones are "No Step Back" for the tank designer, and "By Blood Alone" for the planes designer (less important though).
@@theunknown1666 oh yes, I was a bit misleading I must admit, because I said "send volunteers to Ethiopia". But I meant to Italy in Ethiopia. Ethiopia would be alright too, the issue is that they don't have airfields, that's why you can't send them.
Fast as in smooth fps wise? Currently I'm running it on a good pc, but even on my laptop it usually runs pretty well. It gets a bit laggy later in the game, especially if you go for a world conquest.
@@kellymcbright5456 it is not just about not failing, it is also about optimizing the results and, especially, having fun! I had a lot of fun with this run, and making this guide! I would also recommend newer players to start with an easier nation in order to learn the game, hoi4 can already be quite frustrating at first.

Thank you for a great video, please, upload unedited versions whenever possible, it is great to see everything in detail. I do few things differently: i send volunteers to ethiopia (not to Italy) at the beginning - you can easily hold italians in the north with basic infantry and get more Mxp from the war (but no Axp if i remember correctly). This way you can farm mountaineer/desert rat for 1-3 infantry generals which pushes them closer to adaptable. Same in spain - whomever you send the divs to, you can farm multiple traits - both terrains to adaptable (mountaineer and hill fighter are ez to get) and logi/panzer/cav/mech/trickster etc with enough micro for 2-3 generals and 2marshals) Infantry generals you can continue to farm in China for either attack or defense.
Thank you for your comment!
I like your idea of sending volunteers to Ethiopia (if you send them to Italy they remain stuck in there until WW2), but can you save them? I assume Italy will push at some point.
In my experience, if you hold north, ethiopians can hold south. Hold long enough and the war will end in white peace
Also - would you recommend tech juggling? I find it working pretty well mainly for the industry techs at the start but still not sure whether to use the bonuses on 1937 or 1939 ahead of time
It is usually not the best if used on researches which are way ahead of time. But I personally do not tech juggle in general, as it feels a bit like abusing game mechanics in an unintended way (I hold the same philosophy on Space Marines, paratrooper spam on victory points and so on). I think in single player these strategies are not required to succeed at the game.
Still, this is entirely personal, nothing wrong with doing it of course!
Your pronunciation for the german states was good. Love your content. Using your Japan guide.
@@DavidPutzer thank you!!
The choices made in this guide didn't make sense to me until I saw the results of the peace conference. I thought you were going to struggle with a lack of civs and IIRC you didn't take total mob. But the peace conference took care of it. The warfare was also impressive. Great guide!
Thank you!
My approach is a bit different from some of the famous guides, but I found this strategy to offer the best final results!
Naturally, we heavily rely on the peace conference, meaning that this strategy would be less suitable for a longer, more historical, WW2.
@@MachiavellianStrategist I've learned quite a bit from your guides over the last few hours. I was making tanks with too much hard attack, and never used spearhead. I struggled with the UK sea lion, I didn't know about using agents to help get naval superiority. My next campaign will be so much better, thanks!
@@Avalanche_Mudder04 you are welcome! Let me know if you have any questions!
@@MachiavellianStrategist I have a quick question if you have time for it. I am planning my next Germany campaign. My question is in regard to the focus tree, as I know the tooltips don't always tell you the whole impact. I am thinking of skipping 3 focus choices: Molotov Ribbentropp pact,
anti-comintirm pact, and war with the USSR. If I understand peace conference correctly I can just puppet what I would get with Molotov Ribbentropp pact, and leave the rest not taken in the peace conference. Then I would use fast manual justification time on the Soviets. I would also not garrison Eastern Poland. Maybe too risky, not sure.
@@Avalanche_Mudder04 you definitely can skip those 3 focuses. Mind, however, that the USSR might attack you without the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Having the pact and those focuses allows us to be in full control of when to start Barbarossa, so that's the main advantage.
Moreover, Germany has a quite underwhelming focus tree, so there isn't usually much else worth taking instead.
If you try, please let me know how it goes with the USSR, and if that causes any issues.
okay... that amount of losses you got from poland made me think "is this real is he using mods... damn hes using battleplans and making it look like he microed he must be the goat" i deadass stood up from confusion so please keep up the great content bro. love from Denmark

this guide is so awesome and detailed , can you do a guide for hungary , bulgaria and japan too ??? i personally just spam 1 inf battalion division until i have around 140 so i can send 7 divisions to spain , and then slowly convert those 140 spam divisions into actual usable 21 width divisions
Thank you!!
I already have one for Japan:ruclips.net/video/cs-jlC_IzlA/видео.htmlsi=mD3S6rEqICdaNTec

thank you so much these guides help
Thank you for your comment! I'm really glad to hear that!
due to your guide i was able to conquer mainland britain for the first time.
only issue i ran into was for some reason i had a mass deficit in planes when i went to war
@@SoloDolo01 congratulations! Getting the job done is the first goal hehe! Not sure what happened with the planes, but consider that my F2 design trades so well with enemy planes that you can easily wipe out the enemy airforce even when starting at great disadvantage!
What I am getting from this is that Sweden was instrumental in WW2 for the Germans.
It actually was important for Germany!
@@MachiavellianStrategist Too bad Sweden has a +250% to Embargo tension limit when going historical, meaning Germany has to generate 90 world tension, at which point it's a bit late to embargo them.
Still I kind of want to play democratic Sweden, get the Finnish Volunteer core (to get ride of Neutral Foreign Policy so I can Embargo Germany and see what happens.
@@Jo-Heike Germany can still import from the USSR though, at least until Barbarossa. And by that time they will have taken everything they need from the Allies.
When I annex the dutch east indies and the netherlands early on(pretty much as soon I get the political power and the justification completes), USA guarantees belgium and Luxembourg. Is it normal?
@@ICBM_launcher democracies usually guarantee the countries you are justifying on after the world tension reaches 25%. It is usually the UK, or France, but the USA can do that as well.
I would generally recommend against early wars with Germany, as you lose the fantastic MEFO bills.
Not a major issue, but why go for Eastern Claims (Memel) before Fate of Czechoslovakia? The time it takes is the same, but you have 70 days worth of production of the rest of Czech lands if you get to Fate of Czechoslovakia first.
My overall thinking was based on these elements:
- There is one more focus before the Fate Of Czechoslovakia so it would take 140 days instead of 70.
- Memel is a core territory while Czechoslovakia is not.
- Fate Of Czechoslovakia requires more deployed manpower (but this really should not be an issue)
- I wanted to minimize RNG for potential non-historical runs, and while Czechoslovakia often does weird stuff in non-historical, it is usually possible to claim Memel early.
But even considering all of these, it is likely that there would be a slight advantage in going for Fate Of Czechoslovakia first like you suggested (at least on historical runs), so I would say that you can totally swap the two focuses!
@@MachiavellianStrategist Yes, it is 140 days to complete Fate of Czech, then you get the factories there. But if you do Memel first, then it's 210 days until you get the factories. So, if you go for Fate of Czech before Memel, you get 70 days of factory use you would not get if you go for Memel first.
Not a huge factor, obviously, but Czechoslovakia has 16 civs and 9 mils of which like 3-4 are in the Slovakia side meaning you get 70 days worth of most of that production assuming you puppet Slovakia.

@@drhoops6937 thank you for the membership and for the suggestion, I believe you are right! I'll test it the next time I go for this run!
I'm currently playing as Germany and I'm a little bit worried about the fact that I started the war with Poland in 1940 and the Soviet Union is going to be very strong by the time I defeat the Allies. Any tips on how to beat countries faster with very few casualties? In war with Poland they are currently 5k(Germany) and 250k for them.
Hi! The Allies will fall very quickly don't worry! You can see the follow up video to this guide (on Barbarossa) to see how to easily defeat the Soviets too!
The best way to avoid casualties is simply to only use armored divisions for your offensives, but there is also always a little bit of rng involved. 5k vs 250k seems pretty good to me!
Let me know how it goes, and if you have any questions!
Do you have any dlcs on? my aircraft research tab is different.
@@DeclanReid-m1v hi, yes the plane designer is related to the by blood alone dlc. And later on the tank designer is unlocked with the no step back dlc.
Both dlcs are worth it in my opinion, as they add great tools to the game.
Bro you are the best hoi4 yourubee at the moment i wanted to ask can you do ottoman empire i havent seen it for quite a while
Thank you!!
I tried it once when I played as Turkey (the spreadsheet is actually still in my shared folder, but it might be outdated).
The thing is, I found fascist Turkey to be much better overall, so I abandoned that strategy.
I might go back to it in future, since I was thinking about making guides for all great empires (Roman Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire and Ottoman Empire)!
Btw, when u draw a custom frontline with the intention of putting trucks behind, how do u actually do that? my trucks always go in between the infantry div frontline and the tank div frontline?
@@Snowiestttv Hi! I just assign the trucks to the same exact front as the tanks. You do have to periodically adjust it though, because the AI loves to mess it up constantly.
Make sure you are assigning fronts individually with each army, and not the entire theater with the marshal.
@@MachiavellianStrategist Sorry, but how do i do that exactly? do i use the assignment tool?
Hi, can you please explain the role and the benefits of using a flame tank support in your tank division? I havent used it before, and the raw stats that it provides seem so low. 1hour10min in the video when you make the change
@@matass95 hi! So basically the flame tank company (all of them, but the medium one in particular) offers some fantastic buffs to the combat performance of your units in several terrains.
So that's why, despite the very low stats of the tank itself, the company is always worth the investment.
I think I explained it more in detail in this older video: ruclips.net/video/sn_lx7Kn-Cs/видео.htmlsi=MgPu37yn4de3Z619
@@MachiavellianStrategist that's great, thank you so much for the answer and the link that youve provided. My next video to watch :)
@@matass95 no problem!
19:05 Why Panzer Expert instead of Combined Arms Expert? Seeing as tanks have almost 0 defense.
Hi! The description of the trait is very poor and misleading so it creates some confusion...
If you look at the wording carefully, it says that Panzer Expert buffs armored DIVISIONS, while for combined arms expert they did not even write it, but once again it buffs motorized or mechanized DIVISIONS not BATTALIONS.
A division with more that 40% armored battalions counts as an armored division. So our armored divisions only benefit from panzer expert, because they do no count as mechanized/motorized divisions.
If you had a division with more than 60% mechanized/motorized, then it would be better to pick combined arms expert instead.
Finally (again terrible description), defence is referring to the defence-stat and the breakthrough-stat (I know it sounds terribly stupid).
This means that panzer expert increases the breakthrough-stat as well as the defence-stat for armored division, same for all traits that increase defence of something and the defence skill of the general itself.
Hello, great video. Was wondering, how manageable would an ultra-historical playthrough be? For example, Anschluss in March 1938, seizing the Czech lands and puppeting Slovakia in March 1939, invading France, Denmark and Norway in the spring/summer of 1940. This would impose industrial struggles, but is it possible? Thanks.
Hi and thank you! It is definitely possible, the war will get tougher later on if you keep it historical by not invading the UK. But it can be a very fun run!
I actually tried something like that a while ago, here is my run in case you are interested: ruclips.net/video/boG24jigVsQ/видео.htmlsi=zxsv0x019n7VXlLG
cant wait for usa guide
Just a little longer hehe, working on the last few details!
The best Guide!
Thank you for your comment!
So I followed your spreadsheet but I think I was a bit too good/aggressive in Spain and the Republicans won. In the game, I am immediately after the Spanish Civil War and am following the spreadsheet otherwise. Is a Republican Spain going to mess up the plan?
They might because they usually become a puppet of the USSR. So they might stop you from getting Spain and Portugal until Barbarossa. Not the biggest issue, but not ideal.
Still, good job winning the civil war, it's not that easy haha
Commenting for the Algorithm
Thank you!
The UK never called in India and Canada for some reason, even though I was pretty much right with you the whole time. Unlucky.
Wow that's really strange because they are subjects, I don't even think they have a choice! Unfortunately with the latest patches the AI behavior became a little strange for things like this. In any case, if everything else went alright, it means you did a great job!
@MachiavellianStrategist yeah, I was surprised too. It ended up being a big mess because Canada was somehow considered a major so a free Canada and India stayed in war with me after the conference, it's very weird. I'm fighting the Soviets, the USA, India, Canada and Italy rn. It's a bit chaotic.
@@Azqalihm the good thing is you can destroy all of them easily, the bad is that you need to go there and fight in terrible terrains with no supplies...

@@Azqalihm you are welcome! Let me know how it goes in the end!
you telling me you did a historical Germany guide and didn't do Operation Barbarossa? Seriously!? That's the most fun part to play! It was Germany's main goal from the beginning was to destroy the Soviet Union and do not do so is simply a crime against the viewers!

Does this still work for Trial of Allegiance? Haven't been following the updates, don't know if the stats and the meta is still the same
It absolutely still works! Luckily trial of allegiance did not change that much outside of south America!
Strange For my F1 Fighter I get Max speed 497,2 Air attack 31 Agility 38
You get 518,5 - 32,5 - 39,9
It is probably related to the MIO buffs, possibly I had some applied by that time!
Mmh ...not sure if is the fact i have no DLC but as soon as i invade Poland, Denmark, Belgium and Switzerland all invade with support from american, British and french troops .. your run you have no troops on their borders and they do not attack ... so confused especially why on historical does Switzerland align with allies and attack
Hi! It should not be a dlc problem, it seems more like a bug if you are on historical. Especially Switzerland and the US really should not get involved, no matter what. If you have a save, could you send it at machiavellianstrategist@gmail.com? I'll try to give it a look!
Hi Andy!
So I checked your save and it is incredibly strange, never seen anything like that haha.
It almost looks like you went for non-historical AI focus due to the amount of strangeness in it.
There are countries in the Allies that should absolutely not be part of them and I cannot make sense of how they could even join. The USA for example needs the world tension to be at 100% in order to even be able to join the Allies, let alone the fact that they should not join before 1941. Chile, Switzerland, Sweden, should not be part of the Allies either.
I am really not sure what causes it. You did not follow my focuses, and possibly creating a faction with the USSR can affect the behavior of some of the other countries, but it should definitely not do it to this extent. Maybe some mods? Or maybe it really was without historical AI focuses?
@@MachiavellianStrategist It was with historical on and as i mentioned i did two runs and both happened like this. I do not have any mods. One thing i did do was to send volunteers to Ethiopia and China to gain easy XP. I thought maybe that caused it so did another run and only sent volunteers to Spain and everything played out normally ... thanks for taking a look :)
@@Andy.Smurphy very strange stuff haha, but I'm glad you managed to get a normal one in the end!
USA Guide please
hehe it will come do not worry!
I decided to wait for the new DLC to release (this Friday) before recording it, just in case the DLC patch changes anything important in the strategy.
So I was gonna watch this and then play but I played and kinda came out on top with 1000k factories a decently large army the biggest navy a great airforce and I beat the allies and the soviets
Seems like you did an amazing job! By what year did you get that amount of factories?
@@MachiavellianStrategist I got the factories probs in like 1940
@@GobsmackedIHATENI that's pretty similar then, we get over 1k just after defeating the USSR (in the next video of this series) amazing job nonetheless!
Love your jokes 😂
I did and clicked everything exactly like you did but i ran out of fuel much faster, didnt gain air experience much as you did and also my construction was much slower and didnt finished in sync like you did. do you know why is that? i made sure everything i did was exactly the same
Hi! The air experience is a bit rng related, it really depends on how things in Spain go, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Running out of fuel might be related to many factors, but you can probably fix it by importing some oil from the USSR. Also make sure your fleets aren't doing anything because the burn fuel incredibly fast.
The different building timing is what surprises me the most, that really should not be affect by any rng elements. I cannot think about any possible reason for that, did it mean that you could not get your army ready in time for WW2?
@@MachiavellianStrategist i had my army ready and i was really focused on video and made sure that EVERY click was the same and all the researches, focus timings was the same but construction was way more different than you was and i ran out of fuel even when i dont train navy or anything, i was simply only training the army like you did, i even synced the poland and the france war but i couldnt declare war on yugoslavia even if i did send war goal at the same time you did, the last one broke my run and had me wait months to attack yugoslavia and rest went into shit lol. do you know why did these happen?
@@llawliet1837 the fuel and the constructions might be connected (in the sense that you possibly were behind in terms of refineries and consequently had less fuel). But why the timing was out of sync remains a mystery, I really have no idea. But I'm sure nothing has changed since I made this guide, so there must be something we are missing.
What happened with Yugoslavia? The timing of the claim was not right? How different was it? With 100% world tension and while at war with a major (UK/France) it should only take 20-30 days. However, you must make sure not to start it while another claim is still being fabricated.
@@MachiavellianStrategist It must be some random rng or i think i was not careful enough, nevertheless thank you so much for answering this fast with details, i recently started playing hoi4 and you was the most helpful ever, im still trying to learn the game and your videos are incredible. i love the fact that its unedited. keep making the best hoi4 videos ever hahaha
@@MachiavellianStrategist btw i sent claim at the same day you did to yugoslavia, but i couldnt declare war on them like you did. idk why this happened
Posso annettere tutti o la maggior parte invece di farli puppet?
Certo come preferisci. Non c'è grande differenza, ma io preferisco i puppet perché così risparmi in termini di garrison e ti crei una serie di stati cuscinetto che non possono essere attaccati a meno che tu non li chiami in guerra.
@@MachiavellianStrategist garrison? Ma le fabbriche rimangono invariate sia con i puppets sia annettendoli?
@@paolocavallo6515 quando occupi territori in cui non hai core devi spendere del manpower per gestire la resistenza, mentre quando hai puppet non c'è resistenza.
Il numero di fabbriche, così come di risorse varia un po' in base a diversi fattori. Annettendo di solito prendi un po' di più in termini di fabbriche, ma creando puppet con resource rights e war reparations ottieni il massimo in termini di risorse. Puoi poi gradualmente ridurre il livello di autonomia dei puppet ottenendo più risorse e fabbriche (volendo puoi anche annetterli più avanti).

What happens if you help Spain actually beat Nationalist Spain? I'm following this and so far so good, except I've had great success in Spain. I have Nationalist Spain pushed all the way to the sea in the North almost. I took their original capital, and they are at 72% towards capitulation, whereas Spain is only 19%. It occurred to me, maybe we really shouldn't win here? You did say, it's not a war you need to win we're only there to farm XP. It's March 1938. I did get the Gold Reserve event too.
Hi! If you win Spain will become a puppet of the Soviet Union, so we really don't want to win hehe! But in my experience, if you stop helping them they always lose, even if they were almost winning before!
@@MachiavellianStrategist Noooooo! Haha ok thanks. I will back off for a little then. Although, we really have them on the ropes. I'll hope that Nat. Spain can regain some ground, then I will scatter my 5 divisions around so they keep fighting but only in stalemate situations. Great guide! Enjoying the run so far.
@@MachiavellianStrategist Hey Mac, I messed up and Nationalist Spain couldn't come back after I backed off. Spain won. They are still fighting Aragon though. Should I justify war against Spain before the Soviets puppet them as you mention? It's 210 days to justify. It's July 3, 1938. Thanks.
@@Goodbye_Megaton i think that's probably unlikely to work, I'd just give up on Spain and follow the rest of the strategy. You can take them later!
@@MachiavellianStrategist Ok sounds good. I'll press on, and remember this for next time. Thanks for the super quick response.
Is early anschluss really essential?
It is not absolutely essential, I opted for this choice to make this strategy as viable as possible in non-historical scenarios. Since Austria can be taken by other countries in non-historical (mainly Hungary) annexing it as fast as possible is ideal.
@@MachiavellianStrategist alright thanks! And thanks for responding!
will this work if I have no dlc?
Hi, I have all DLCs enabled in this run, but the overall strategy does not require them.
