Yeah, it always annoys me when streamers skip over that stuff. Without the context it gives, it ends up feeling like I'm just watching a bunch of stuff happening without knowing why or how, and the why and how is the whole reason I'm watching in the first place.
Hearing you read the stories is fun. I get if you don’t want to do them all, take care of your voice lol, but I like hearing you read them. It adds the flavour to the country and paints images of what we can imagine going on in the country beyond the typical hoi4 units moving around the screen.
After seeing the portrait with the dog, pipe, and shit-eating grin I had to see how much of von Luckner's history was actually true, and the phrase "main character of the world" sums it up.
11:36 Yes, play as the locals. But not as Indochina Revolt, but as Annam Autonomy, that can become independent Empire of Vietnam with many interesting paths
the reading of all the text is one of my favorite things about your channel, it really helps you understand whats going on, especially in some of the weird scenarios of kaierredux
The real Von Luckner would be quite famous after the war, because of his "gentleman pirate" reputation, known for being successful at sea while also magnanimous and merciful. So famous in fact, that Moustache Man would try to recruit him, trying to add a popular figure into his party. But Von Luckner told him to f* off, and then proceeded to smuggle people out of Germany for the duration of WW2
I say if there's a big wall of text, you can read it off screen and give a quick summary of it or just leave it up for a period of time for the viewer to read.
you should be Indochina once you get down to the letter I, I’ve heard they have at least one pretty fun path (also reading the text is awesome! It ads to the whole experience!)
Suggestion: the *Ultimate Joya Playthrough* Basically the first time she played HOI4 she picked No-No Germany as her starter nation, while in the MLP mod(and she sure does love MLP) she went as the Crystal Empire So what I propose is, why not both? Like my idea is you having the Equestria at War mod installed but not activated, so all the content and tags are there but not in use as you play the vanilla game, then using the Console Commands you transfer all of the Reich's territory to the CE's tag That way you'd replace/combine Joya's first pick with her MLP pick, allowing her to play as Germany but one that is the Crystal Empire instead of the Third Reich, like her ideal game path To be clear I have no idea if that would work, Im not a modder or game programmer, I just think it would be really fun In any case - *All Hail the Sky Princess!*
I would love to see you talk about your pedictions based on your historical knowledge. Also pretty sure you could make a remarkable argument defining poverty as genocide
I like you reading most of them aloud. In the video if it’s alt history I need a narrative to understand why we did certain things, and certain things happened to ‘us’. There is a degree to which kaiseredux becomes something closer to a graphic novel , or a choose your own adventure book, the truest incarnation of that is TNO, where it’s basically an cinematic universe of books. On the other hand, do feel free to cut some things back. But don’t go too far, if it’s a 4/5paragrpah mega even I do still want to you to say a paragraph of story, not cut it down to 2 lines,, or a gesture at story, some people who do kaiserredux go to far and it just leaves you confused halfway through the video when you have no idea why anything is happening.
Please keep reading them. I myself and a lot of other people listen to these videos or watch on a second screen and having the walls of text read allowed makes the viewing experience a lot easier.
Hey! You’re one of my favorite history content creators of all time. I wish I had you as a teacher in school! I hope you could play TNO sometime. It’s a great AH mod that has some really exploited paths and I know you’ll have fun! Love your content!
Heya Stak, if you enjoy doing a big navy game I'd very highly recommend playing as Cuba in R56, they have the capacity for an absurd navy that can decimate both the Brits and the US, plus you can core all of the Caribbean. I'd love to see you try it.
I'm not sure what the majority said but I enjoy you reading them out, and sometimes listen to your game channel as well as your podcast at work. To be honest there's not much going on for the spectator as far as visual stimulation, and your excitement and reactions to the story and politics is really the entertainment value here.
Keep reading! It's not just the text (fine, for me, on a desktop to zoom in and read, not so much on my laptop) but the reactions. Also it was great while invading with the ponies :D
What if U.S. focused on Asian Theater, I.E., the defense of the Philippines? On PHL's POV, what if Manuel Quezon believed that Japan may eventually invade Philippines? What if Quezon SAVED MORE JEWS than what he gathered at around 1500+ the Americans intended?
Keep reading them. Sometimes, especially for the longer ones, I just put on your video on the background and laugh along when I hear something funny; I don't play HOI4 anyway, so gameplay doesn't matter to me.
Keep reading them it helps me follow more during the video and see what the actual political story this mod shows
Yes, Read!
Agreed!
Also helps dislexic people(like ne)a ton
Yeah, I agree
Yeah, it always annoys me when streamers skip over that stuff. Without the context it gives, it ends up feeling like I'm just watching a bunch of stuff happening without knowing why or how, and the why and how is the whole reason I'm watching in the first place.
I love when you read them all, I usually have your vids on the background while I'm doing stuff, so it's amazing
Keep reading the blurbs, they range from horrifying to hilarious and watching your reactions to them is absolutely priceless.
Hearing you read the stories is fun. I get if you don’t want to do them all, take care of your voice lol, but I like hearing you read them. It adds the flavour to the country and paints images of what we can imagine going on in the country beyond the typical hoi4 units moving around the screen.

I just translated the A.O.G., and it translated to "The Board of Directors of the East Asian General Administration"
Sounds like something you could actually use to fool people
11:36 Yes, play as the locals. But not as Indochina Revolt, but as Annam Autonomy, that can become independent Empire of Vietnam with many interesting paths
I love you reading them, it’s easier then squinting at text and your voice sounds really nice and your reactions are really funny
Poor Ballin, in this timeline dying the same way he did in our own one, just 18 years later.
Bro was just Ballin out of his mind.
the reading of all the text is one of my favorite things about your channel, it really helps you understand whats going on, especially in some of the weird scenarios of kaierredux
I love the story of these; it's why I watch. As someone with dyslexia, your reading is very helpful
Ballin committed suicide in our timeline in the final days of WW1 when he was going to lose all of his shipping company assets
16:23 yes I would like if this was read
Ja😂
The real Von Luckner would be quite famous after the war, because of his "gentleman pirate" reputation, known for being successful at sea while also magnanimous and merciful. So famous in fact, that Moustache Man would try to recruit him, trying to add a popular figure into his party.

Von Luckner is absolutely the person to create a German pirate republic lmao
I say if there's a big wall of text, you can read it off screen and give a quick summary of it or just leave it up for a period of time for the viewer to read.
This felt like rome having their entire nave destroyed but building it up in 6 months, or so.
Brother, definetly read all of that, or else we don't know wtf is going on since it is not historical
Keep reading them. You give interesting commentary on surrounding details, and it lets me listen when I'm not watching while following along
you should be Indochina once you get down to the letter I, I’ve heard they have at least one pretty fun path
(also reading the text is awesome! It ads to the whole experience!)
i like it when you pause so i can read the texts
I love listening to you talk so having you read everything out while I'm gaming is just so fun! You have a great voice stak! use it!
Absolutely play Indochina. But ALSO play as Vietnam (there's a path where AOG releases them as a puppet, but they become free and expand)
Vietnam is really good. Also, they have an actual pirate republic path.
@@Tridelmofwow or pirate kingdom, because they can crown the emperor and then core China because of it
I personally quite like it when you read the large blocks of text
We love when you read the insane and absurd stories, they're the best part of this mod!
The trees of kaiser/redux really make me want to play it more.
Please continue read the text, its always so interesting, it gives the videos the chefs kiss
yeah i enjoy hearing you read them, your reactions are fun when you get to the really strange or dark bits.
Kickass content stakuyi!! Been following you for like 2 years and actually bought hoi4 because of you lol!! Please keep reading all the events
For deutsch westafrika, you have to play the rhodesia path, for the memes.
What if the United Arab Republic was a success? (Egypt/Cold War mod)
Is Libya+tunisia? Or Egypt Libya and Syria?
Yes please
You can also form the United Arab States as Egypt in KX
UAR could have never been a success
The clutch against Japan while playing as Indochina was solid.
Keep reading the passages, your reaction to them is half the fun!
keep reading dude!!! I don't like reading much myself but i like the histories and such so you reading it is perfect.
20:34 "I'm trying to be a Pirate!"
Suggestion: the *Ultimate Joya Playthrough*
Basically the first time she played HOI4 she picked No-No Germany as her starter nation, while in the MLP mod(and she sure does love MLP) she went as the Crystal Empire

To be clear I have no idea if that would work, Im not a modder or game programmer, I just think it would be really fun
In any case - *All Hail the Sky Princess!*
say that does work how we would hope it would lead to one awesome vid id def watch
this would be a very elaborate in-joke of a mod
@@DOAHITMAN
Im happy you think so too!
And yeah I hope so
that is not how that works.
@@0rland0
I figured it likely would not, but I still felt I should suggest the scenario
I know you might not like this, but I do like it when you read those things. Even if you just give the TLDR version.
I would love to see you talk about your pedictions based on your historical knowledge. Also pretty sure you could make a remarkable argument defining poverty as genocide
@28:21
As a singaporean, I'm deeply saddened by the threat of becoming Australian
Can't wait till you play lovecrafts america
Please keep reading the events! Its so much more fun :D
I like you reading most of them aloud.
In the video if it’s alt history I need a narrative to understand why we did certain things, and certain things happened to ‘us’.
There is a degree to which kaiseredux becomes something closer to a graphic novel , or a choose your own adventure book, the truest incarnation of that is TNO, where it’s basically an cinematic universe of books.

Keep reading i enjoy the lore and it helps keep the pace of the video
Please keep reading them. I myself and a lot of other people listen to these videos or watch on a second screen and having the walls of text read allowed makes the viewing experience a lot easier.
Keep reading. The goofy stories is why I watch the alternate history and the mod stuff.
Read them, especially when so much effort was put into the lore
Keep reading them aloud, it's amazing that way
Lore of A Pirate Asia with Dogs in Hoi4 Kaiserredux A2Z: momentum 100
I love your vids man
A I love you
Definitely read them out loud, you have a great storytelling voice!
Seriously.
Yeah read the text man it’s really fun to dive deep into the lore
What if Alf Landon won the Election against Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936.
Love these videos man lol, they have helped me learn the game
Hey! You’re one of my favorite history content creators of all time. I wish I had you as a teacher in school! I hope you could play TNO sometime. It’s a great AH mod that has some really exploited paths and I know you’ll have fun! Love your content!
I like dogs, I love Asia (I'm asian), AND IT'S A PIRATE LIFE FOR ME!
As a pirate of Tortuga, this is a nice touch.
I like the reading, so keep it up!
I like when you read it but if you don't want to that's fine too, just leave it up so we can pause and read it ourselves.
What if the Qing reformed and prevented the Xinhai Revolution because of it?
What if the allies didn’t let Germany have the sudaten land in the Munich Agreement.
00:01 This man would do anything excpet post the stellaris video he promised
Yeah @stakuyi, where is our MLP Stellaris video?
Heya Stak, if you enjoy doing a big navy game I'd very highly recommend playing as Cuba in R56, they have the capacity for an absurd navy that can decimate both the Brits and the US, plus you can core all of the Caribbean. I'd love to see you try it.
Man I cant wait to see stakuyj play the constitutional American republic (even better if he plays the yockey path)
I'm not sure what the majority said but I enjoy you reading them out, and sometimes listen to your game channel as well as your podcast at work. To be honest there's not much going on for the spectator as far as visual stimulation, and your excitement and reactions to the story and politics is really the entertainment value here.
Albert will never be ballin
0:51
Keep reading! It's not just the text (fine, for me, on a desktop to zoom in and read, not so much on my laptop) but the reactions. Also it was great while invading with the ponies :D
You’ll play as Indochina. We have to reach the Is eventually
Keep reading the things I enjoy the lore
2 days 2 UPLOADS WHAT DID I ACCIDENTALLY FALL INTO AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
Critical support for an indochina playthrough
Ah yes the resurgence of Pax German East Asia be like 🗿👌😎👍🇩🇪❤💙💚💛💜:
I think you could read them off video and just give a quick summery to us
Day 50 of asking stakuyi to do the goddess viira path for barrad magroacy in equestria at war
For me I'd actually like it to be to /your/ preference, I'd rather you enjoy and read so you enjoy the faction you're playing more, it's great.
I want you to read the phonebook so I can fall asleep to it at night!
BECOME HO CHI MIHN. Start that Ho Chi Trail!
KX timeline: Go home Fritz!
read the pop ups makes the video longer, less editing, and fun to listen to
Stakuyi has been spoiled by all the faction mechanics in Equestria at War it seems.
What if U.S. focused on Asian Theater, I.E., the defense of the Philippines?
On PHL's POV, what if Manuel Quezon believed that Japan may eventually invade Philippines?
What if Quezon SAVED MORE JEWS than what he gathered at around 1500+ the Americans intended?
What if America focused on its economic policy and instead of intervening in Europe enforces the Monroe doctrine against South America
9:40 You have only yourself to blame, Stakuyi. You could have kept von Moltke or chose Prinz Walde and have made a "better" and less evil playrhrough
I like the reading its very funny
We love the lore.
Imagine forgetting the Japanese put much of their naval power into aircraft carriers and not putting anti-air on your own ships.
Since Stakyui is back on Kaiserredux A to Z. Day 19 of asking Stakyui to continue playing Kaiseredux A to Z, so he can reach Malta and play Mintoff.
I like them being read
If you picked molke everything would have been rainbows and sunshine. Also you've pick every evil colonial path in the game, lol.
Hi stack!!!! Plz do an Australian conquest vid!!!
Glad you had fun. ❤❤
29:35 he turned French for a second
Keep reading them. Sometimes, especially for the longer ones, I just put on your video on the background and laugh along when I hear something funny; I don't play HOI4 anyway, so gameplay doesn't matter to me.
Yes for reading
Do zombie pony and conquer the world
please keep reading them most of the time I'm listening lol
You should try the mercenary path for the Congo it’s pretty fun
Ballin, but at what cost...
You missed Von Luckner's Albatross Story :O
If Prussia was an Army with a Nation, then German East Asia is a Navy with a Nation.
i prefer the reading as im dyslexic and reading can be hard sometimes
