    This is one of those Hoi4 campaigns where you just can’t help but wonder what would someone from this world think about all this. Imagine being a Greek soldier, where after the king comes to power and a civil war breaks out, and the king’s side has the clear advantage. But for whatever reason just orders you to halt all movements until after a whole year of this “civil war” which didn’t have a single shot fired.
    And for the next few years the king just makes a bunch of seemingly random decisions where you have to wonder if he is actually mad. Guaranteeing the independence of Poland and going to war with Germany which Greece itself doesn’t stand to gain anything. Creating alliances and dragging countries into the war only to break these alliance and kicking them out of the faction. All the while the king keeps declaring war on random middle eastern countries that had nothing to do with the war.
    The worst of it is when you are fighting side by side with your French and British allies, forming close bonds, only to be ordered to retreat from the frontlines to go to Dieppe and ordered to die on the Beaches of southern England. In the process, your country is now at war with half of the world.
    After ALL that, it all somehow works out in the end, with Greece and becoming the largest empire on earth. And all this time the king was simply executing 5d chess moves your simple mind is incapable of even comprehending. I don’t know about anyone else but I would follow the orders of King George the second’s orders until my last breath.

      In the past it was possible to create as many formables as you wanted if you controlled the required states. They since changed it so that you can only form one formable per playthrough. So nowadays if you create let's say the Nordic Empire as Sweden, you won't be able to create the Baltic Sea Republic anymore. In the past that was possible.

    I love these :D The biggest problem I have with most of the formable nations is that at the time you formed the nation it's already over... it has no pupose anymore... In ideal world you want to form it contiously so you can benefit from the cores and everything while you fight other nations... that's fun taking a smaller country as Greece and slowly build up so later in game you can compete with US, RUssia, Germany... It shoudn't be so easy as South America, though... I think Ottoman is quite good or Byzantium...

    In my opinion, it's a lot easier to form the Macedonian Empire by being in the Axis. Taking the Balkans is easy at the beginning; the difficult part is to accumulate enough points, (Have troops around Yugoslavia so when axis declare war be fast enough to take the land), defeat the Allies, take Egypt, Kuwait, and then just conquer the Middle East. Finally, you can defeat the Soviets. You don't need to defeat the Axis because you don't need the Dodecanese Islands-or at least, it used to be that way.
