I did got this achievement in a very weird way. The achievement only requires you to complete the Ostland Focus and occupy Lappland, so you can get the achievement without taking out your neighbors. I completed the Focus and immediately justified on Sweden with World Tension at 24%, it went down to 23% then Italy completed their Claims on Yugoslavia focus and spiked World Tension up past 25% meaning Sweden got guaranteed by UK. I cancelled my justification and did the focus that gave we war goals on my neighbors resulting in me getting Lithuania but Estonia got guaranteed by UK. Germany then attacked Poland and Poland didn't join the Allies, meaning WW2 didn't start because UK couldn't guarantee Poland because it didn't have the Political Power to guarantee Poland 'cause it had already guaranteed 2 nations earlier meaning its guarantee cost was much higher than normal. This meant that Germany had to go to war with the Allies by manually justifying on the Benelux countries and doing focuses from their Focus Tree. Thanks to the guarantee on Estonia, the Allies went to war with the USSR before Germany.
@@fipeke when UK guaranteed Sweden I thought about going Democratic, joining the Allies, and betraying Germany after me and Germany beat USSR, but luckily I didn't have to. If I read the Focus Tree right, the Democratic and Fascist paths for Latvia are not mutually exclusive so it's possible to do both paths on the Tree until the devs patch it out; I think.
'We now know when stalin is taking a shit' and 'we can now eat Lenins body' are two of the funniest jokes I've heard on this channel and in one video; keep up the good work!
I played as ostland trying to get that one achievement. Ostland is actually pretty fun Edit: I also made sure to limit fascist popularity so i didn’t go through a civil war
the achievemtn is an extremely obscure refrence to swedish cheese. The name is "This achivement is cheesy" whichspeaks fpr itself. The requirments are that you form ostland which litteraly means cheeseland in swedish and control västerbotten which is in sweden. In sweden västerbotten ost i quite famous.
I find it ironic how Latvia got a bunch of content surrounding Ostland when it was historically mainly Lithuania that was the focus of Ostland starting during WW1.
I got this achievement, it is actually very cheesy, because when you go down the Ostland focus tree it's easy for you to not generate any world tension whatsoever, because the territories become your cores before you "retake them" so after the Polish war you should take only core states keeping the WT % caused low. After the war with the soviets you liberate some republics reducing the WT even more on your part. Then you go down the middle of the focus tree leave axis and join allies (they will accept as you caused 0 WT) declaring the war on Sweden simultaniously. Sweden won't join the axis, as you won't need to call the allies in. So you end up with the whole sweden occupied and NOT AT WAR with allies nor axis. Cheesy it is.
Seeing this focus Tree makes me want a "The Old ways -> State Paganism -> The Wath of the Old Gods -> Avenge the Ancestors" path for Germany and Scandinavia.
In my experience, it’s very easy to beat the Soviets in No Step Back. I played two different Poland games and 1v1ed them with 20 width infantry and no planes. I beat them by ‘42 both times with like 10:1 KD.
Well, i'm not a math guy, but in nsb i use 18/3 infantry which are 45w and they just completely destroy everyone, and for tanks i usually go with a 44w unit
I've tried playing Ostland, and I can never seem to get the manpower required to field an army that large. Unless he just went straight to scraping the barrel, but that doesn't seem worth it. I'm not sure, unless there is something I'm missing? It just seems really confusing as to how he had the manpower for all of that...
You probably already covered how to play as the Soviet Union, get Trotsky and not have the country absolutely suck to play as after you win the civil war; since even with AA and AT I get steamrolled by Germany; but I would hope to see a video on the revamped Trotsky.
What I find most amusing is that they have kept the "Pērkonkrusts" name for the part but they dont actually have a Pērkonkrusts in the party flag they only kept the Māras krusts. What I find funny about the leftists is that they assume everyone on the right are allies, no Celmiņa parties enemies included the germans, being fascist doesnt mean you like germans fascist or not.

thats a really weird way of getting this achievement, i must admit

That's why you always justify on Finland as Germany just to mess with the Soviets.
*NO LAND LEASE FOR YOU, MR. STALIN!*
I would love to see the Finno-Ugric path for Estonia, as it is very based as well
True *HÜPERBOORIA* soome-ugri võim!
What do you mean? Finland takes hungary
As based as turan.
Poland having a bear as the leader is the most based path in the Dlc 🤑
The most BEARsed path.
@@juantalavera6457 😆
All hail King Wojtek!
B O I tek
But Poland is not part of the dlc its part of a pack that is free so Poland can't be the most based path

its quicker and easier to let the civil war happen, sadly, i tried playing the same way you described.

What are other based paths in No Step Back?
Purge everyone as Soviet Union.
Tannu Tuva Siberia
Falangist Poland creating the Polish Empire?
Glorious King Wojek for Poland
Based tannu tuva
In alternative universe: Reichskommissariat Ostland, becomes independent in 1942 and conquers Both Axis and Soviets and forms the Ost-Empire.
Based
how tf
Sounds like an anime alt-history Empire
Stalin must have gotten a paranoia boost when he saw Ukraine become a 'country' on the map after the war with poland
Well, just Latvia joining the axis is already enough to give paranoia to stalin specially after they change their name to OSTLAND
The Baltic Unitary State flag appears to be a belt buckle…….they really were easily impressed back then, weren’t they?
Or a capacitor symbol
Wait there is more things than just trains in this dlc? I've spent like 100 hours watching trains i had no idea.

All not-so-quiet on the Ostfront.
Now that we have Ostland Belgium needs a Westland focus branch!
+ Südland for Swiss and Nordland for Denmark :P
Dietsland for Belgium
Though you can refute the treaty of London as the Netherlands

I searched for a China video but a Latvia video from a person with an awesome accent works too. I will subscribe.
MG: *Dismembers the USSR as Ostland and creates a Fascist Russian Empire*
TNO gamers: *FUNNI CLOCK MAN NOISES INTENSIFY*
I'm sure in the next DLC paradox will ad shovel upgrades
I expect aircraft designer next if anything.
I love how Sanitationist Poland owns what would be Nowa Polska at the end of the video
greater Lithuania seems fun maybe give that a try?
Son:mom can i have RK Ostland
Mom:we have RK Ostland at home
RK Ostalnd at home:
He really made TNO Russia in vanilla 💀
So you've heard of Thunder Cross Latvia... But have you heard of Thunder *Dragon* Latvia?
Seeing this focus Tree makes me want a "The Old ways -> State Paganism -> The Wath of the Old Gods -> Avenge the Ancestors" path for Germany and Scandinavia.
Last time I commented on the Russia video it was one of the most based paths and that is because this is truly the most based path!

Sure, you may be a ally with Mr. Mustache Man, but I guess it is your best friend if your Ostland.

Will you try the releasable russian states?

You don’t actually have to do the “join Germany” thing, they let you join the axis either way. The state paganism path is more fun in my opinion.
As a latvian you saying Pērkonkrusts makes me shivver of how bad is your pronauncination.
Im seriously laughing on the way he speaks XD
“Fuck off Soviet Union”
The balls on this man
12:43 Oh no. He made tno
Maybe I will try Latvia for the first time now
Did you spike world tension so that the Cezcks got guaranteed and the Munich conference then didn't go historically?
Ah yes, original sound track land.
Long Ukraine is one of the most cursed things I've seen.
Ostland means cheese county in danish
I don't think the AI guarantee against justifications for core state outside of circumstances like ww2
Play the Soviet Union with the Bukharin path and try to take over the USSR as fast as possible (speed run) (happy pain).
As long as you don't visit Stirland you're ok
What I find most amusing is that they have kept the "Pērkonkrusts" name for the part but they dont actually have a Pērkonkrusts in the party flag they only kept the Māras krusts.
