Does this still work regarding rushing Italy? I never managed to get through the alps fast enough and even if, the Germans had too much war score for me to get all of Italy. Had to order 66 Italy to get the achievement in the end.
Do you think you could create an alternative Macedonian Empire path. You are always improving yourself so maybe a new path may be created for Macedonia.
im trying to do near same strat on vanila game but cant handle it. i go now for 7nth try. is that possible on vanila game or im ultra noob ?? truth is that im new to hoi4 but i got all the mechanics of the game clarified in my head. Great vid
Holy moly this is fast, though the process could be refined but I will take this strategy any day over suffering over Turkey early on and then trying so hard to survive the Allies, Axis, and the Comintern... Question, is a nation less likely to contest/take land from a puppet that you created in the peace deal? I always find Germany or my allies contest me way too hard over territories so I always try not call in any ally during a war.
They are likely to actually give cores to people in the faction. So I believe germany actually paid to give us Rhodes, plus several states to Italy that were italy's cores. Sometimes they will be selfish and try to take cores themselves, but I'm not sure what the weight is for the AI to do that. P.S. nice profile pic! Love LOTR
@@hatless_spider Thank you thank you. I have noticed the giving core behavior as well, and I will definitely take more advantage of that in the future... I think having an early war and pulling in the Germans is "safe" in the sense that Germany has no claim/interest in Europe yet, so player has the chance to puppet Europe while Germany tries to expand elsewhere in the world. I would say finishing WWII anytime before 1940 is OP ;)
I know, but since Italy has its special event since BBA to demand independence or go to war, it always seems to trigger before being able to knock down all the autonomy. I was wondering if there's a way to block that event from triggering
I tried this before watching and didn’t pay attention to guarantees… which meant Turkey called in Romania…. Who then 6 months later called in Yugoslavia… on my completely empty border. Managed to actually survive and just clicked the button. Now Italy is justifying on me. I could join the axis but I did want to get the Albania achievement… any idea if Italy will call in Germany if they declare on me? Could maybe take Italy but no shot at both.
I did cap the UK! That was the first nation I invaded and defeated before then attacking through the benelux to France. Ohhhh wait you mean because they took back a bunch of their land? They needed to be at less than 10% towards capitulation to not still be considered capitulated. So since I held the north, the allies still capped when I defeated france
Basically you just need more occupation warscore than germany to get the puppet. As long as you are quickly moving in and taking the VPs, and pushing with your units against the defenders, it will work out for you!

Hatless is like the GOAT of achievements and just unbelievable things honestly
Watching your vids reminds me of how terrible I am at this game
You're not terrible, you're just historically Italy focused. I'm not any better :(
Great video as always! You open my eyes on so much about this game even after I played a thousand hours.
1 thousand hours? That's like a baby's toy!

😜
@@hatless_spiderhey I only started playing 42 days ago and stopped only to watch this video.
@ChalleonPlays get back to the grind!!!
Only kidding of course 😁
Another Hatless vid, and YET ANOTHER DESPERATE ATTEMPT FOR DEMOCRACY LOL
Democracy prevails!
Very fun helping make the first strategy but then later on you and monke were on some drug figuring out how to make this strategy lol
I didn't actually end up using either of your ideas!
But it was a lot of fun discussing it and thinking about it regardless!
@@hatless_spideryea i know i realized it when watching the video
@chianghighshrek honestly really nice ideas, but this is what ended up working best
Emperor Sonic I Of Byzantium Is Something I Didn't Know I Need Until Now
Always a good day when hatless uploads
🫡
Nice Hungarian Holy Crown in the thumbnail!
Thank you!
Let’s go my guy!!! Ever since BBA, I haven’t been able to figure out how to Rush cores.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed!
It says in the wiki how many relations you need for each country to get their factories
Sonic & HOI4?
As if I needed more incentive to stay stuck to HOI4. I like it!
INSANE
Always great
Thanks Jiiiiiiiiiim!
Anglo pronounciations of dutch and belgian cities always get me lol.
Lol sorry! I try but often fail
@@hatless_spider Ey no worries ever heard the Dutch speak english? We have the thickest weirdest accent.
@@lordodin5755 yep, Antasil is dutch! He has less of an accent though

You should make an optimized strategy on Qing China and try to get all the cores before 1941 (no Hong kong or Macau)
That might be fun! Haven't played Manchukuo in a while now
First time watching hatless since I watched his baltic entente video with Bitt3r, I did not make a mistake!
It was a mistake to miss out on a bunch of videos since then! 😁
Lol jk
I have gone through and watched more though, I'm glad I started sooner rather than later! Lol@@hatless_spider
Any tips on how to beat italy?
Woohoo I found a new cool HoI4 youtuber to watch!
🤩
Can this tactic still be used in Arms Against Tyranny?
Do you think you could create an alternative Macedonian Empire path. You are always improving yourself so maybe a new path may be created for Macedonia.
I actually am working on editing a video on monarchist greece forming Macedonia!!
I'm hoping to get that done within the next couple of weeks
im trying to do near same strat on vanila game but cant handle it. i go now for 7nth try. is that possible on vanila game or im ultra noob ?? truth is that im new to hoi4 but i got all the mechanics of the game clarified in my head. Great vid
nicely done, i think ive said this before, but i like your knowledge of game mechanics :)
Knowledge first,then reverse engineer how to exploit it 😜
When I tried this the Czechs guaranteed the Austrians is there anyway around that? Or did I just justify on USA to early
Holy moly this is fast, though the process could be refined but I will take this strategy any day over suffering over Turkey early on and then trying so hard to survive the Allies, Axis, and the Comintern...

why he doesnt show the research options?
Is there a way to keep Italy from demanding independence? I feel like every time i get them as puppet, they try to break free asap
You can build in their territory.
That reduces their autonomy.
Also sending them lendlease that was produced by your own nation
I know, but since Italy has its special event since BBA to demand independence or go to war, it always seems to trigger before being able to knock down all the autonomy. I was wondering if there's a way to block that event from triggering

How did he cap the allies without capping the UK?
I did cap the UK!
That was the first nation I invaded and defeated before then attacking through the benelux to France.

They needed to be at less than 10% towards capitulation to not still be considered capitulated. So since I held the north, the allies still capped when I defeated france
Glory to Rome 🎉
That's funny you conquered most of europe and spain is still in its civil war...
I don't know why but even if I'm in the axis my troops can't move onto Austria.
U need to call germany into the war. They will accept after a month when they have shipped their troops back to their mainland
You should try European Union as democratic France
I actually have done that before, check this one if you haven't seen it yet!

@@hatless_spider Ah I didn't see it. Great content. Here's another idea. How to form Austria-Hungary as Czechoslovakia ASAP.
Hi
Yo
How did you get so much war participation in Italy?! The Germans steam roll them :(
Basically you just need more occupation warscore than germany to get the puppet. As long as you are quickly moving in and taking the VPs, and pushing with your units against the defenders, it will work out for you!
nice vid u gained one sub
Awesome, welcome!
