The cold pang that shot through my heart as isp said my fucking name like he was announcing the culprit after an hour long murder mystery was intense.. and I'm like, 90% sure it's not actually the same name.
I really love HOI4 and watching you play it but I think that another visit to knights of honor would be cool the game is fun to watch especially that there aren't many people uploading about it.
@Sharkronical I dunno, I think that one might be too obscure for him. Maybe he should play the best release of 2022, Victoria 3 by Paradox Interactive?
@@pinkcrewmate8103I don’t know about that one mate. He’s played that game before and he seemed to like it quite well. He should play Imperator Rome by Paradox Interactive
18:07 one time when I was playing as Greece, the Allied AIs decided to leave Germany alive on this one island after the peace deal. Proof that even the AI doesn't know this island exists

@@kyrozephyr8628 i was using 42 width tanks, i won by attrition since the axis players ran out of energy to keep going since i held river line and supported any important battle with tanks.

Paradox Developer: "Checking to see if the country owns the state they're giving away??? BLASPHEMY!!!" Gives me flashbacks of 1 state Romania giving away Bessarabia when I owned it. I doubt that's been patched either.
I just played HOI4 for the first time in 3 years as Italy and it was some of the most fun I've had in the game, I don't have the DLC (or any DLC) so I puppeted Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria then went down the ratify the Stresa Front path, meaning I joined the allies and carried them in the war against the Germans (I ended up occupying the south while the allies created a German Republic in the North) then I invaded Japan from French Vietnam with barely any resistance while their army was still on the Chinese front. Meanwhile the Soviets were just fighting a civil war against Trotsky for like 6 years straight. I think I'll play as them next
Can you play the military dictatorship of Lithuania? I think it’s very cool, you can get a lot of army experience and doctrine discounts. I was able to finish a doctrine before 1939. I’d like to see what you can do
One of the colonial focus trees gives you free war goals against all European countries who hold territory in Africa and have a different ideology to you, which means that you can get Portugal and Spain quite early
wonder if germany having access to swiss banking was what helped them stay afloat all along, and the republican italy path inviting the swiss to a faction changed that.

ive never seen someone keep mussolini since it was the only path and i LOVE IT
He cooka da pizza
Happened to me the other day, was mildly disappointed
That’s true of all the leaders in hoi4, remember the good old days when the jokes were about them
The new DLC turned things on it head for the Italian focus tree.
yea Mussolinis tree kinda sucks
16:21 "All I want to say is that when Italy flips sides at least they go to the winning one"

some ideas for future videos on focuses no one ever does:

Third rome russia is so much fun holy shit. The leader has the fucking trait DEFILER OF THE SUN GOD

7:50 That path is SO GOOD. You can core your colonies with it. Couple it with the development decisions and you can get some mad building slots

I did it once. Gave me a blood clot and I died of cringe.
You mean he's not just a useful idiot to get Pelley in charge?
Look forward to the inevitable "vanilla Italy Focus Tree retrospective" in a few years.

The CTRL drag tip is a great help thank you
The annoying thing is that it’s ALT drag in EU4 (I think CK2 is the same), so I always end up using the wrong key

Isp blink twice if surfshark is holding you hostage forcing you to play hoi4
I HIGHLY recommend going the other democratic path as that way you can form both the EU and Rome, which I might say ends up pretty fun
"Wait DENMARK WANTS CORSICA!?"
That is way more funny to me than it should have been lmao
Glad to see isp agrees it's the industrial worker who can overthrow Capital
The Swiss in this run were absolute chads, holy shit
Its kinda funny how Switzerland went all in on conquering germany and then they basically didn't take any land at all...

Oddly enough, I always picked the Southern Farmlands option and still won all of the three times I did do the civil war
I pick north because I’m not invading the alps😂
I mean, the island only has 96 inhabitants. That's barely enough to throw a nice party.
I have in fact looked at that island before, In my first playthrough I invaded that island, I can't remember why.

South is better if you wanna cheese and rush the war, as you gain way more territory and the north is easy to take with good micro
