Can you make Austria-Hungary with Bosnia, Slovenia or Slovakia next?

“The Croatian government has announced the restoration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.”
Said no Croatian ever.
Little known fact, back in Austria-Hungary days. Croatia was nearly recognised on the same level. Almost called Austria-Hungary-Croatia. But a Serb had other ideas 😂
@@Derwyen also the Hungarians reaaaaaalllly didn’t want it
@@Derwyen Serbs couldnt have that! That would’ve absolutely destroyed any dreams serbs had for Greater Serbia (Yugoslavia)
They wanted like a Dalmatian Kingdom for Slavs in the South which was supported by both Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Karl. Plus Croats were probably the most loyal people in that Empire to the Emperor.
@@johnnotrealname8168 yeah, strange how we were the most loyal yet get few rewards, if any.
Like when our ban Josip Jelačić helped crush the Hungarian revolution, but got basically nothing in return from the empire
Instead, Hungarians got more power and recognition, while we were still recognized as a region, or a "kingdom" subservient to the empire.
Yes, you have some Croatians that support the monarchy. I'm surprised as well
Your factories did not update there for a second at the end, you had 112 factories vs Germany's 138- actually not that bad.
Best Ever ! +1
As a Croatian citizen this is the biggest NO U card i've seen in a hoi4 game
Croatian approved video
Subbed for this
Obscure formable decisions always appreciated.
Just got HRE on historical
The brain is stored in the beard BTW
Thanks for the shoutout!
Glad you were able to crush those pesky Dutch to gain control of the valuable Croatian East Indies mercenaries
Pesky Dutch? And yet you come to us every game for manpower and oil (and cheese)! ;-)
@@antasil5768 well they are only pesky in that they don't lay down their arms immediately.
Pacifists in name only SMH 😉
I was part of this
@@MisterTelas2304 indeed. Thanks for thinking outside the box of such a wild idea lol
That's an incredible job. From zero factories at the start to 112 factories, that makes the challenge much harder than ever.
"Graz"
"Looblijana"
"Podgoricha"
This is why we love you
Should have returned Sudtyrol to Austria before releasing Croatia. You would have had to garrison it as Croatia but it would have given you an extra core and nicer borders later
I've tried it, but it messes with the paradrop. Austria will shuffle their troops around in an unpredictable pattern
@@Bitt3rSteel Ahhh yeah that makes sense, I didn't consider how the extra territory would effect the AI, or the extra victory points for that matter. I guess there's not much stopping you from taking it off the Italians after forming Austria Hungary anyways, so no big deal
I had a few people suggest this on my video as well and I hadn't even thought of the possibility. Definitely if you can accomplish the attack on Austria still it is worth it, since you will then be at max cores without having to fight Italy.
But probably for an already difficult tutorial it's best to leave it out of the question 😄
Challenge idea: Sinkiang unites China and unites the Turkic states(Formable only and core turkic states) -- Sino-Turkic Empire
Glad about your decision about not doing the Ukraine video. Most youtubers would want the views. Respect!
How about: Playing as Soviet Union and attacking Ukraine? Lol
@@knusprigegurke, play as Trotsky, cooperate against Stalin, rise up in Odessa, Ukraine, and then doing the World Revolution campaign after giving power to the Supreme Soviet.
That would be better to support the Ukrainians since Trotsky is an Ukrainian.
i would have really enjoyed watching him kick soviet ass, oh well
@@krasnamerah1926 Taureor did exactly that.
@@nickpanko7318, not tho, he helped Allies instead of taking on the world himself after liberating Poland
Hey Bitt3rSteel, want to explain why my Norway's Northern Lights video is in your disaster saves playlist?
It seems to default to that when I click "watch later"
Edit: actually, i checked. I must have fat fingered "favourite" since that is above "Disaster Save" lol
Fair enough lmao, it was in there for like a week and I only noticed when looking at the videos stats that 4% of it's views came from it.
He just wanted to throw shade by calling it a disaster
Kappa
Imagine if this was real life lol
*5 people parachute into as many cities*
Austria: "wtf" *walks into Trieste and ends the war*
Still very impressive
This is how I’ve always seen the paradrop exploit.
me and the lads paradroping into austria on a wacky night out
As a Croat I am proud of you . Great video .
As a croatian I absolutely loved this video
That is crazy. I didn't even think of starting from Italian Croatia instead of Yugoslav Croatia. Great video.
You can't start from yugoslav Croatia
@@ЙованДобройевичь i did once to try this. Granted it was a few years ago though.
@@scott3017 yeah
As of bfb you cant do it unless you finish some focuses
@@ЙованДобройевичь yeah I saw that. Last time I tried this was before BFB. Now as Yugo you can break up the country, but you can't "play as" Croatia, Bosnia, etc.
Starting this game with Italy makes even some sense if u think of Southtyrol, where I come from. We are basically Austrians😂
Aka Germans
@@ЙованДобройевичь 🤔can't confirm that😂but for sure more German than Italian, bc i can't even really speak Italian with an Italian passport 😂
@@samuelniederkofler4668 well I mean
Austria is osterrecih in German/Austrian, and Oster means east, so basically, Eastern part of the (German) realm
@@ЙованДобройевичь Mountain goat Germans... yodeling optional ^~^
South Tyroleans = Tyroleans that drink a lot of vine (therefore Italy thinks they are Italian)
The quadfecta complete!
Now Paradox just has to give the option to form AH to Slovenia or Slovakia and you can keep making AH videos... LOL
Transylvania and Bosnia releasabl3s too
Bosnia reforming that empire is even more cursed than Croatia doing it. Austria-Hungary's downfall basically started there.
If you want to give the generals traits the first option in the staff academy can give a really good traits and allows to hire general from lvl 2 instead of 1 I think either mass assault or the doctrine before it can give you brilliant strategist for free on new generals and they start from lvl 2
El Generico will have his revenge after this slight.
That I will!
Gotta love how before reforming the empire his manpower was at around 200-300 thousand and then it jumped by about 10 times that in merely a second lol
I will be honest I prefer generic leaders over special ones with no trait, because sometimes generic leaders have insane traits
I simply love these Austria-Hungary vids
Finally, FINALLY! I knew this day would come. I knew it was possible.
You magnificent man, you did it again! Its not the most glamorous way of forming austria hungary but its pretty darn impressive way! I saw the original video of atlas, but he doesn't have the lovely comforting voice you have :D now how about australia hungary as croatia :D
Wouldn't mind seeing a pt 2 on this one. Cool stuff
I watched Your video and Hatlessspider as well - really good and fun job here!
Thank you for doing a video about the country I have heritage in! Croatia is so underrated. Slava Hrvatska!
Ne misliš valjda na NDH ?
@@pavlepavlovic654, what do you mean, it's the NDH under the Poglavnik who reformed the Ethnoplural Empire in this timeline.
So yeah, Slava Hrvatska!
@@krasnamerah1926 Mislio sam na njegovo kontinualno nasleđe na relaciji NDH i moderna država Hrvatska u kojoj i živi. Sa druge strane, Poglavnik je, poput Adolfa, bio mentalno obolela osoba i nije vredan bilo kakvog pomena osim negativnog. I ne, nije sve kul i fora u ovom životu.
@@pavlepavlovic654, well, i know that IRL Pavelic is a piece of crap. But this is HoI4 and him forming the Multiethnic Empire can be counted as good, right?
Given what he does in our timeline, I could fully expect him to try "removing" several ethnicities from this multiethnic empire. Basically Croatian Hitler.
Broke : Forming Austria-Hungary as Croatia.
Woke : Forming The Third Reich as Croatia.
31:30 Wait, he doesn't know how that works? Basically whoever conquers a province gets the province (if certain criteria is met, like it needs to connect to their land etc.). But sometimes someone else gets the right to control the province. The thing is that only gets updated when the full province is conquered, leading sometimes to situations like that, where the AI gets a small stretch of not fully conquered provinces directly on the front, leaving you wating till you get your promised land.
Your realy good at the game
Thanks!
Every time when my notification says vid from brittle steelI, I get a hit of dopamine
Nice video. Had seen Hatlessspider do it before ofc, but couldn't quite replicate it. Will try again (and againg etc) ofc 🙂
I probably would have built up Crotia before releasing it honestly. Just for that extra boost.
That would've messed up the timings on the early wars. A couple of extra factories mean little when your targets get eaten by German focuses.
I did this in a multiplayer game a month ago. It was so stupid. I let the Ustaše rise up as Yugo, pretended that my game crashed and rejoined as Croatia, won, then proceeded to take over an AI Hungary, let Germany give me Austria, and then take Czechoslovakia. Croatia is the worst country to form Austro-Hungary.
Congratulations aside, an Austria-Hungary led by _that_ regime sounds like hell on earth.
The Croatia leader portrait is so good why do they have such a good leader portrait
He was a very dangerous man, bro.
@@pavlepavlovic654 I believe that
@@romulusnuma116 Approx. Hilter²...
i feel like theres a common theme of this belgian man invading the netherlands in alot of minor euro vids
15:53 damn he using da romanian tactic
with this video you have intrigued me, time to watch more
thats even better than czechoslovakian formation of austria-hungary
occupation like what you saw in slovenia happens all the time. as long as its your territory that troops are pushing in from, it should always go to you. you can abuse that in say the eastern front as germany by requesting the two or three states on romania's frontline for example and then occupy all the territory they push in to
I’ve been waiting for this, you could have technically done this with Yugoslavia but I don’t remember if you can release Croatia at all, except through the focus tree.
Nah u cant
Forming Austria-Hungary from Trieste makes this video epic. Rename it "Empire of Trieste" would be legendary.
You hurted my feelings when you restore Austria Hungary
Current events teach us the importance of trucks and supply
This is how Sigma forms AH
Try forming Ukraine by releasing it from Czechoslovakia
"I've not heard good things about the Ustase"
Yeah, Croatia's death camps sometimes had higher death rates than German ones.
Hello! I have a question:
At 13:38 how did you do that to only activate 1 offense?
click field marshal or general, shift click the arrow that activates offensive, then click the specific order you want to use separately
@@MatthewZzzz0 Thank you!!
This is some EU4 levels of tomfoolery!
Thank you, sir.
Finally somebody tried it. Thanks
Great video. Very interesting
You don't actually need a fighter for paradrops, it isn't like navy and 0 air control works.
i always form austria hungary this way, like i form central america with chile or the benelux with denmark. this is normal
Yeah sure
Nice bait
absolutely, and I form the majapahit empire as Japan
@Hobo Habsburg I was making a joke
Best Ever ! +1
You should let the game run after forming any formable nations. Then we can so the effect and prize for forming the nations. I mean population, manpower, economy etc. It would be great if you do like that, Thanks in advance. Hoper you see my comment. Like if you read it
Im a croat and what did croatia do other than human soap to deserve this monstrocity of a video 💀
Fun fact: In Hungarian revolution Austrian king promised to make a kingdom of Austria -Hungary -Croatia if we help him calm the Hungarians we did so but the king betrayed us and slaved us again under Austria-Hunagry withouth Croatia in thta name:(
16:30 u actually said Leeuwarden correct :D. Very unusual for a foreigner
@@wunderpuma4453 ahh
the most cursed way make Austria-Hungary Empire XD
I have noticed that in so many videos bittersteel invades the Netherlands
I respect you not capitalizing off of human suffering
Haha, thanks, man!
This one is just too tedious to do, so i would not comment just much as i have when i already did it.
2:58 Well, at least the infrastructure buffs would not wasted anyway.
3:43 The classic Indonesian strategy. Guess we have a lot to do with changing history for HoI4, hahahahaha.....
4:15 Wholesome Ustasha forming Austria-Hungary, haha
18:50 The deficit only works after the day changes to tomorrow. You can fake deficit on 23.00, let the game tick two hours later, and then your demand would be granted at 01.00
Also, leave a HUGE deficit, planes and convoys needs at least -101 units, wherelse guns, artillery, and else needs at least -1001 units.
33:37 Yeah, Good Game once again, Bitt3rSteel. A very wholesome state formed by the Poglavnik, hahahahahaha.
Sad that you didn't capitulate UK and finally owned all your cored states, but this is just as good.
I stopped putting Artillery, Anti-air and Anti-tank guns in my infantry divisions...now i put SP Artillery, SP Anti-Air and Tank destroyers in them XD
I can see so much pain
this is peak Austria-Hungary
something cheesey to do is puppet everything and only use expeditionary forces meaning you take 0 losses and need no equipment. i did a funny run as the soviets with Chinese puppets thats to say.
Drunk HOI4, with Bitt3rSteel
Ahh yes I think I will use hello fresh after watching a hoi4 video lmao
Q: Capital of Austria-Hungary?
A: Zagreb!
Loving this mess. Kind of shame it ended there, but yeah, it's probably walk over everything from this point onward.
Beautiful
Wow, my country forming austria hungary, hvala! (Thank you)
Tvoja država je NDH ??
@@pavlepavlovic654 ne xd, hrvatska

I love these start with nothing and become a world power.
Hello from Croatia
I am glad i commented him to do this under every video ,tnx m8.
Form turan as Tanne Tuva next
ah hello fresh
its awesome
Me: wanting to applaud you for nice pronunciation of Dutch and German cities.
Also me: realising you're from Belgium.
*Now THAT'S cursed*
Very cool my friend c=ts
Could you make a video making the great entente with France? It would be very useful. Thank you very much!
Oh boi, its not Bruno! Its Brno. :) Try beggining of Brunch with short "no" ... That will be most likely Brnou, still better than Bruno tho! :D
(I am prom Pilsen, other side of that country)
This video showed EVERY problem a Paradox strategy game has currently. The Clauswitz Engine's AI is such trash that it is the biggest albatross on any of their strategy games. Worst part, Paradox either does not know how to, and/or does not want to improve the quality of their AI. This is the main reason I stopped giving paradox any of my money.
*Now do it as Zara only Croatia without turning Communist💀*
Who is the leader of austria hungary now? I've had some bizarre non historical games where the pact of Rome formed Austria Hungary and it is the starting Austrian guy leading it somehow.
Just curious if it is the Croatian Sean Connery still in charge.
Still the Poglavnik
Yeah ''Croatia''. This part where Italy release ''croatia'', Croats would take 3th place in census in this country.
hello fresh also here...? oh my f*** GOD
Svetozar Borojević is getting his pension, dammit
HOW? WHY? TACOS.
🌮
wait you actually get a unique flag instead of the normal Austrio Hungaryan flag without the eagle?
That's because they're fascist, not non-aligned. Even formables have different flags depending on ideology.
@@gengarzilla1685 I know that depending on Ideology they get new flag but I didnt expect Croatia having unique flag
I just tried to do this but if i even so much as close the game it puts me back in charge of italy
What if you form Austria-Hungary as Austria, but after releasing yourself from Italy after Anshluss?
1. You mean Germany. 2. Thats like fucking breaking your knees with a sledgehammer before a marathon
do a challenge in which you play only with special forces
How did you enable just 1 paratroop order at the time from the same general?
Hold shift, execute the orders, then you can choose which order to execute instead of doing them all at once
@@krasnamerah1926 oh dang. almost 900 hours on this game and I'm still learning shit. Thanks
@@krasnamerah1926 THIS MAKES MY LIFE SO MUCH EASIER
@@ApexWolf don't worry. I'm on 2500 hours now and i only know that feature (and also support attack) around 2000 hours.
Joketes here
Could you release you're videos in 1440p as the detail there is much greater than in 1080p and correct me if i am wrong but I may remember that u already uploaded videos with 1440p quality in the past.
Greta Videos by the way!
SLAVA UKRAINI
slava rusji
I would the same thing Bitter.
Good job on not going with the "This war in Ukraine could get me dozens of views if I play as it & destroyed Russia.".
Good strat, I have 1 problem tho, when playing Cro, hitting load save or continue save brings me back to playing Italy, any way of fixing that besides editing save file?
Wait, really? Pdx wtf.
