I use to think being able to micro the Soviet war in Half an hour was impressive. However that is nothing compared to the sheer amazement of watching a dude do a world conquest using 2 units and will alone.
In ancient times, a man approached the sultan's presence and said, "I can thread a needle from 10 meters away," and he successfully accomplished this. Everyone was impressed by this man's skill. The Sultan said, "I am giving you 40 gold coins for your talent, but I am giving you 40 sticks as a punishment for wasting your time and effort for such an insignificant job." this story is very similar to yours my friend. but of course I can't blame you after all we all give thousands of hours to this game :))
@@alfredandersson875 I searched but couldn't find a specific sultan. In addition, the reward and punishment vary in each source. I guess it's just a folk tale in Turkish.
23.3k men were present in each division. If by improbably chance 1 man survived 20 years of warefare imagine the book he could write and his ptsd and grizzled nature. “The commander told us that the imperial army was now reduced to two divisions. Some cried we would die in China. Ten years later the last man from that hall died in my hands. Ten years later I forgot where all those men were buried. From then, everyone I’ve met looked at me with pity. Some would offer their condolences especially as the weight of this… slaughter began to scar them. Though, the tinnitus I had after 11 years of service made conversations impossible. I’ve outlived three generations of weaponry yet the man I was 20 years ago died the night the last brother who could understand how I feel took his own life. I was promoted up the chain of command. Duty bounded, the victories and slaughter drove many reckless. I saw men turned too Oni, their shadows growing larger after every massacre. The worse days were when we captured the cities. The press published us heros, in secret no one now lives to tell what we’re done in those cities….”
I just found out how to break through the Dutch in my latest game so far. To put it simply, tanks attack from the north, while infantry attacks everywhere els, at least that’s the strat I used.
Being an absolute goblin I just put all my divisions into an army, put that army on the Benelux, and manually micro. The key is to force lots of units to break a single or less units on the enemy border. AI sucks at defending against breakthroughs, so just push through without worry of being encircled. Oh also BIG TIPS: Use air (idek how most of it works, but a couple hundred CAS and Fighters) Absolutely avoid attacking all three Benelux nations at once, because France will force tons of units into their borders which will make it really difficult to cap em quickly
@@mycario624basically, select all your army, assign them to 2 armies, then have 1 army have 24 divisions and the other with 21 (i think). The stronger ones goes to the northern border, the other goes to the south. At least that’s how I do it. There might be more efficient ways of doing it, bit this is just a beginner friendly way.
If each division is about 30.000 manpower, and the casualties number is 45 million, then each person in those divisions on average caused 750 casualties.
@@taisato2091 Good point. I wonder what the replacement rate of the divisions were. I imagine in the beginning there would be quite a turnover. But once those experience and medals rack up, the turnover got drastically reduced.
Have you heard the tragedy of Tannu Tuva the Resilient? I thought not. It's not a story the generals would tell you. It's a Tannu Tuva legend. Tannu Tuva the Resilient was a Minor Nation in Hearts of Iron IV, so resourceful and so strategic, it could use its limited industry to influence the supply lines and turn the tide of war... It had such a grip on its divisions that it could even hold the frontlines against much larger armies. The modding community of HOI4 is a pathway to many customizations some consider to be game-changing. Tannu Tuva became so formidable... the only thing it was afraid of was getting annexed, which eventually, of course, happened. Unfortunately, it modded its national focus tree too extensively, leading to instability, and it collapsed in-game. Ironic, it could save others from invasion, but not itself@@ronin1915
As many of you have probably pointed out, and as LB has himself, the real challenge here is not the micro (though the micro was insane, I could never get to such a level of slaughtering divisions), but the willpower. Having done a Japanese world conquest myself, after like 43 ish it is really easy to just want to stop, and yet you continued. You have my respect and concern for your mental health, as a former HoI4 player
god bec he beat AI? basically he knows how the AI works and the AI in hoi4 is stupid and very easy to defeat so he just uses the knowledge to abuse the game mechanics and conquer the world but he only does it with 2 divisions and spends a lot more time than normal xD also it looks like he play on easy mode bec even when AI have more division they dont want go to the empty provinces so yea... "god"
@@dafish231 omg xD it's really an indicator for you if someone is good at the game or not xD if u know the game its not hard, but if u are 5 years old and can't beat poland as germany then maybe this is some kind of achievement for you, but I don't care xD totally xD I respect my time and I dont want spend 12 hours to prove something for some random guy in internet I already spent 3k hours in hoi4, I know proppably all abuse and exploit in game and I saw on this video typical abuse game mechanic run the only thing that amazes me is that he wanted to spent that mutch time to do that xD AI in this game is so stupid that you can just copy what he did and conquer the whole world with 2 divisions, ask yourself why he did it on japan? why he dont do that as germany? u know how do achivment called "30 min of hell"? u need to do what he does, or if you know the game enough, just use the exploit, but yea basically u need stand on 2/3 provinces and just waiting to germans bleed out, bec when AI thinks they can beat you they will constantly attack you so only what u need to do is a feign weakness like put only 2 divisions vs 10 or more, if u have a lot planes especially CAS you will just annihilate the AI, and its all what he did on that video xD he use abuse mechanics to feed on china, then he feeds on pacyfic countryes what are not well defended bec all allies troops fighting with Italy or staying on his puppet border, what is also a abuse, so he goes from one abuse to another, everyone who know how to play can do it, but mostly people have a life xD

This is insane. I've done it with 10 divisions and it was incredibly difficult. I cant imagine doing it with less. A masterclass on micro and patience. You're a god.

Im just imagining if this was real what it would be like to be one of the people in those two divisions. Like most of the entire army is just the airforce and then its the greatest conceivable honor to be placed on the frontlines as the most elite soldiers.

10 divisions world conquest is crazy, but you only just use two! What a spectacular video! But I wonder if there is even any rocks remained from destroyed buildings in Brittany through the nuclear bombs :)
This is crazy! Some real dedication from you. Buuuuuut what about 1 division? I think we have some room left for improvements... Maybe i'll try something like that
Incredible! ugh, now I feel like trying something like this too... I see you made strat bombers, but were you able to effectively perma-raze the enemy industry at some point? There was a lot of time to build stockpiles, but I imagine it could help with the late game div spam
That's why I don't like watching speedrunners, they always have hidden things they did that they never explain fully, which means you can't really replicate this run yourself
Incredible achievement, however I might have an interesting challenge for you, you must use a minor country without researching anything ( doctrines improvements are allowed) and attempt to conquer the entire world, this might be extremely hard or maybe perhaps impossible as you will have equipment from 1936 while your enemies will eventually have equipment that is 10 years more advanced
Thank you, I was thinking of using 15 armour with 10 trucks an hour ago & then your video popped up, I see this a sign from a higher power, god bless you, I shall try this when I get home.
