I think it’s worth noting that Washington actually was raised to General of the Armies. This happened 20 years after the end date of the mod, but it is something that did happen. The rank itself basically just means 6 star general, though I think it would have been funnier if they dug him up and put a funny hat on him.
@warlordofbritannia possibly, although I've never personally heard of them getting that honor. I wouldn't doubt it. Especially for Pershing since he's like the the father of the modern American Army.
Once again the U.S. government fails to consider the consequences of their actions smh; the first necromancer will be able to immediately assume full control of the US army (legally speaking).
I think raising Washington to General of the armies was an actual thing they gave him a rank posthumulously and decided noone can ever get the same rank so he was the highest rank officer in America for all time.
@@LegendOhil In WW1, General Pershing was given the rank General of the Armies. This was done so that he would be of equal rank with allied Field Marshalls. After the war, people who care about that sort of thing realized that Washington was only General of the Army, means he was of lesser rank. Congress posthumously promoted Washington to General of the Armies with a higher precedence than Pershing. While the President can appoint, and Congress can approve, a General of the Armies it will never happen.

I really miss the original HOI4: Zombies mod.

The mod was also really broken, like zombies had 10000 base HP or org or something, so you had to build insane divisions to counter that.
@@simonnachreiner8380 yeah exactly, but building divisions for destroying strength instead of breaking frontlines was really interesting. I remember pre-NSB the way military high command and division bonuses worked, Canada could create some monstrous heavy SPGs which was a really effective countermeasure against zombies. Fun times.
Hello, history man here. Washington being promoted to "General of the Armies" was a real thing done 1978. This is because the US didn't want anyone to be a higher rank then Washington as he was in charge of the nation's founding. Yet, in World War one, Pershing was promoted to 6-star general as a temporary position to coordinate US efforts in the war. several generals and admirals would occupy a similar position for the many fronts of WW2. In order to avoid the implication that these men would technically be higher in command than the man who (helped) win the Revolutionary war, he was promoted. it is largely meaningless beyond the scope of saving prestige.

Kairserreich is what kept me coming back in the early days. It provided an alternative to the regular world war 2 narrative where if things went one way or the other it wasn’t in line with any established historical event, just seemed to open the game up more.
4:55 George Washington is actually a 6 star General of the Armies IRL, he's forever the highest ranking person in the US military, he's the American Kim Il Sung.
Washington's dentures (he had several pairs) were actually composed of teeth from various animals (hippopotamus, walrus, ivory, cow, horse) as well as human teeth.
4:19 That was an actual claim argued by the German-American Bund. Even the image there, with the giant banner of Washington, is from the actual 1939 rally held at Madison Square Garden, in NYC

I figured everyone knew who he was. I guess he's not talked about a lot, but he was part of the English/German royal family Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and sided with the German Empire when WWI broke out then sided with the Third Reich
there was a mod ages ago called Danzing all night or something like that and it radically changed how hoi played, it was abandoned and was never popular enough to get a redux but I look back on it fondly. It was basically only playable in 2016 iirc as it never updated for together for victory
I hate when November is over because that means that Nostalgia November is over too and one day we wont have it anymore. God I hate how the years have flown by! How is it December already!
Memes aside, the US did in fact raise Washington to general of the armies. They also just gave it to Grant too so giving promotions to dead president/generals is starting to become a thing I guess.
fun thing with the american civil war that you can do (if they haven't patched it): if you save up enough pp early on, you can actually get off of undisturbed isolation AND disarmed nation during the civil war super quickly. you just gotta save up a shitload of pp early on
For the Wooden Teeth bit (I'm sure this has already been answered but here I go) George Washington had dentures where the frame was wooden, but the actual teeth were stolen from slaves (most likely his but there is a non-zero chance he bought some as well).
Before the advent of western porcelain teeth were harvested all over the place. Graveyards, battlefields, bought from the indigent, taken as restitution for debt. It's quite unlikely they were directly sourced from his slaves.
As someone who did some localization for RT56, id recommend checking out France and looking at its missile tech, theres a little easter egg thats been there for years.
My favorite more recent mod has been North America Divided, and it recently also got an updated giving a few more states and provinces expanded focus-trees!
From the start in 2017 I've been looking at country specific flavour mods, and I immediately stumbled upon "Hungarian Flavour" which quickly became my favourite mod. Although the best path to take is obviously to form Austria Hungary, so it wouldn't feel very fresh to play, I just never get tired of it
8:28 In case you (or anyone else) want to do these focuses again in the future, I had a run similar to this in vanilla. I can't remember if it was Cuba in mine or Mexico, but I declared war on whichever it was who was a faction leader, then declared on everyone who refused me in South America as well as North. I was a bit worried about Brazil, but it was early enough that it didn't have enough factories to be considered a major. I only needed the one country to own both continents. Pretty much the same as you did, but it'll save you another war or two if you care about owning South America.
something to note rt56 revamps xp. so theres more levels and soldiers can be released with better training depending how full the bar is. lvl 6 is normal training with extra training to level 7 post doployment.otherwise they can be released between lvl 1-5. EAW also uses this system aswell.
I used to use the "Historical Immersion Event Pack" mod a fair bit which as the name entitles, packed in a lot of historical fluff, flavor and events that were and still are missing from the base game. It is an excellent mod if you just want a more historically accurate experience. When it comes to major overhauls, i never really fell in love in any I'd say but the ones i enjoyed to a degree at least are : Kaierreich, it was fine, America was the most fun to play with its crazy civil war. Tried TNO for two runs, was interesting, united Russia under an Anarchist state Buuuuut it does get old fast since majority of the game is just reading pages upon pages of alt. history stories as your eyes bleed from the awful UI colouring, R56 i used a plenty when i just wanted a "HOI 4+" experience when playing small nations that don't have any and probably might never have any actual content in the base game like middle american nations where you can become a banana republic in r56. But mostly, i tend to play just the regular vanilla because i do achievement hunting and even got 100% of them currently but once i am done , i then do just light mods like player lead peace conferences when doing non-iron man.
I remember being a little timmy, getting home at 17 from school and heading to bed to watch ISP and falling asleep by the end of the video, all the way back when the channel had the big push to get 100k subs, waking up at 6 PM and playing RT56 for 2 hours before going to do something else because I still hadn't reached 1938 on my slow ass PC. Good times. Highschool sucked but the videos were a pretty cool coping mechanism with the pressure.
Btw, a tip that helped me a lot when I had a potato laptop was using the command debug_smooth. It turns off frame smoothing, speeding up the game a lot (but at the cost of your frame rate). I always did everything when I was paused though, so it was fine for me.
@@ewenlau727 damnnn 😂, know how you feel. Used to have the same problem since I gamed on a $300 laptop, until I thankfully got a new job that paid me more, allowing me to buy a better computer. Best of the luck to your future financial success and HOI4 gaming experience
General of the Armies is the highest possible rank in the US military. It’s only ever been achieved twice. Once was to John “Blackjack” Pershing during WW1, and then the title was given posthumously to George Washington in I wanna say the 90s.
Chaos mod and formible nations. Being able to make a world where nations are roughly equal in strength and can actually expand is my favorite. Sometimes you just get to watch a massive nation form and have to try to figure out how to beat them down but you never know who it will be.
Formable nations and road to 56 are staple mods of every run I do. In the middle of a run now as Latvia where I created the “Baltic Empire” as a formable, subjugated the Soviets, and created the “Global Alliance” to unite the world under one rule. Very fun!
4:52 This is hysterical because that actually happened. In 1976, Washington was posthumously promoted by the Department of the Army to a six-star rank of General of the Armies of the United States
5:03 George Washington being posthumously promoted is an actual thing that happened, but I don’t know the year. He is always officially the highest ranking American Officer, which is why he is a Six Star General.
This. It’s one of the few mods that really delves into the nation side of the game in a pretty unique way. Still kinda sad a lot of their content is getting gutted tho, the last update felt like a step back by removing Britain’s previous content and replacing it with content that isn’t as developed yet.
I look back on millennium dawn rather fondly, it kinda ship of these theseus'd itself into becoming almost unrecognizable from the olden days. But it's the mod that got me to both buy hoi4 in the first place and subscribe to your channel.
Other mods i remember player led peace conferences, infection (zombies), iSorrowproductions mod, millennium dawn, big bite, ragnarok 1937, & Old World Blues
4:51 This is actually a thing that happened in real life by the way. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_of_the_Armies General John J. Pershing, who was Supreme Commander of the AEF in WWI was given this rank in 1919 and Washington was given it posthumously during the US Bicentennial in 1976. On top of that, the law establishing Washington's 'promotion' states that "(a) for purposes of subsection (b) of this section only, the grade of General of the Armies of the United States is established, such grade to have rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present" meaning Washington is the highest ranking US officer of all time and nobody can outrank him, even though he's dead. There's also been a movement recently to award this rank to former General and President Ulysses S. Grant as well. It's a little confusing because this could be considered a six star general because it's above the 5 star General of the Army (which is the equivalent to the various Field Marshal ranks used in Europe and has it's own weird history) but Pershing only ever wore his 4 star uniform and the flag presented to him only had 4 stars on it plus there's the whole deal with Washington still being superior to everyone else despite being dead. It's kind of dumb but my point here is that RT56 didn't just make this up, this is something that actually happened.
Quick note about George Washington. Yes, he had wouldn't teeth, but that's when he was poor when he was a statesman. And a president he frequently used hippopotamus ivory as teeth
One of my top mods is Old World Blues, the effort put into it to expand the existing fallout lore is really impressive
Definetly the best mod in my book!
true and all of the sub mods that they have i think the best sub mode made its the enclave mod
still play the shit our of this mod. just finished an enclave run
so true love OWB and can't wait for the chicagoclave
Oh yeah that is a great one for nostalgia november!
I think it’s worth noting that Washington actually was raised to General of the Armies. This happened 20 years after the end date of the mod, but it is something that did happen. The rank itself basically just means 6 star general, though I think it would have been funnier if they dug him up and put a funny hat on him.
I think it also means that if there ever is a six star general ever created, Washington is automatically posthumously raised to be above that rank.
@@matthewredacted
I think that also goes for Grant and Winfield Scott and Black Jack Pershing

4:52 This is hysterical because that actually happened. In 1976, Washington was posthumously promoted by the Department of the Army to a six-star rank of General of the Armies of the United States
Rip Nostalgia November
Looking forward to Demand Dat Rat December
Keep up the funny map memes so that Alf is a landin
9:25 when 2 countries you are acting as the mediator for start getting violent in your country
5:03
George Washington being posthumously promoted is an actual thing that happened, but I don’t know the year. He is always officially the highest ranking American Officer, which is why he is a Six Star General.
Despite everything, J. Edgar Hoover as a general still manages to be the most cursed thing in this video.
As someone who didn’t have money to buy the DLCs earlier on, R56 was a life saver for making smaller nations or unique paths playable/available.
4:12 Washington did have fake teeth, but they were made of Ivory.
"weird christian america" man thats just reality these days
George didn't have wooden teeth. He stole his teeth directly from his slaves.
6:50 Honestly, this is pretty historically accurate
Civilian MacArthur isn’t real, Civilian MacArthur can’t hurt you
Civilian MacArthur:
My favorite mod is the one with THE RAT
last video of nostalgia november this year everyone. goodbye chat!
road to 56 is definitely a top tier mod in my books
I love the "Darkest Hour" mod it is a good balance of realism and nerdy details
Every state independent battle royale gotta be up there in terms of that nostalgic suffering
As close as we are going to get to ALF LANDON GAME
No joke, for the past 7 years, I always thought it was called road to 56 cause it was planning on adding a total of 56 focus trees or something
Old World Blues is a classic and one of my all time favs
4:06 Oh yeah, about Washington wooden teeth...
TNO- obscenely complicated but amazingly developed
There’s controversy surrounding it but I love it
This. It’s one of the few mods that really delves into the nation side of the game in a pretty unique way.
Still kinda sad a lot of their content is getting gutted tho, the last update felt like a step back by removing Britain’s previous content and replacing it with content that isn’t as developed yet.
@@pocketmarcy6990, the mod tried to insert every ideology possible there, so no wonder.
For having a concept that literally contradicts the base game it's quite good
Literally my favourite mod, just waiting for PW update to drop
Top mod that I feel that ISP holds in a special place in his heart is the Lazy Town Mod
Washington’s teeth were a mix of slaves teeth and hippo ivory in real life.
I can hear the Dominicans screaming from here as you glue them to Haiti.
He never changed his name since the bo video. Prince Ali rescue still standing strong.
I look back on millennium dawn rather fondly, it kinda ship of these theseus'd itself into becoming almost unrecognizable from the olden days. But it's the mod that got me to both buy hoi4 in the first place and subscribe to your channel.
Novum Vexillum. Its MD before MD sucked.
Millennium dawn is my favourite mod but damn it can be real painful
Other mods i remember player led peace conferences, infection (zombies), iSorrowproductions mod, millennium dawn, big bite, ragnarok 1937, & Old World Blues
that MacArthur poke was too quick for me that got me for some reason.
The best mod is Fembavaria and nothing cam change that 🔥
4:51 This is actually a thing that happened in real life by the way.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_of_the_Armies
General John J. Pershing, who was Supreme Commander of the AEF in WWI was given this rank in 1919 and Washington was given it posthumously during the US Bicentennial in 1976. On top of that, the law establishing Washington's 'promotion' states that "(a) for purposes of subsection (b) of this section only, the grade of General of the Armies of the United States is established, such grade to have rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present" meaning Washington is the highest ranking US officer of all time and nobody can outrank him, even though he's dead. There's also been a movement recently to award this rank to former General and President Ulysses S. Grant as well.
It's a little confusing because this could be considered a six star general because it's above the 5 star General of the Army (which is the equivalent to the various Field Marshal ranks used in Europe and has it's own weird history) but Pershing only ever wore his 4 star uniform and the flag presented to him only had 4 stars on it plus there's the whole deal with Washington still being superior to everyone else despite being dead. It's kind of dumb but my point here is that RT56 didn't just make this up, this is something that actually happened.
Quick note about George Washington. Yes, he had wouldn't teeth, but that's when he was poor when he was a statesman. And a president he frequently used hippopotamus ivory as teeth
It may have dies, was reborn, and died again: Apres Moi
Old World Blues is great, Metro Genesis is very fun as well, the stations are perfect for encirclements.
Thanks for all of that Japanese machinery. Still not sure what to do with it but we'll figure out something.
thank you for posting Mr ISP
I dukcing love kaiserreich. I never play vanilla only kaiserreich
My favourite nostalgic mod is the "What if France won WW1?" mod
My Personal favorite. Most of my hours in Hoi4 are from this mod
Daily petition for ISP to play Malta in Kaiserredux
Road to 56 really made the game feel so good, back in the day. As you could do so much other cool stuff, before focuses and techs were actually good.
