Briefly worth mentioning, this game doesn't just benefit from the Fallout lore, but expands upon it in ways that are often more interesting and well-considered than whatever Bethesda is dreaming up
Hammanbre: this will confuse even veteran hoi4 players Me: plays hoi4 for the first just to play old world blues getting ass blasted by the NCR and Legion as the Mojave chapter
@@Hammurabae It is. All the hotkeys for all the menus. An absolute nightmare to learn how to do the most basic things. 75 hours in and I just learned you can activate plans. I've been fighting the whole time like i'm playing age of empires
Yeah I'm not a good HOI 4 player. Barely understand the game. So the first faction I chose was the Valle Raiders in Baja so I could be safely tucked away in a corner peninsula to figure the mod out. I managed to defeat the other raiders north of me and become the Baja raiders. I called it good for the night, went to bed, woke up, and the mod had been updated and bricked my save lmao. So now I'm playing as the Robot City Doki Doki AI xD And man, I thought I was done for when the Maxson brotherhood attacked me, but I survived. Definitely thought I was dead when the Hangdogs attacked me, but now I'm pushing them to their capital. At this rate, I'll be able to take out the irons and the scorpions before Lanius takes the Twin Mothers, and then I'll be ready to fuckin SCRAP! Lol
@@odg1190 i don't even know what plans are lol. I play the same way, and I dont trust plans because I both don't know how to do them, and don't know how to react if things go wrong xD
Pretty good video but I'd like to point out 2 things. First is the followers mechanics which can be sometimes incredibly useful with research bonus in some cases and you can use conventional warfare for infantry as well if a state has civilised or sophisticated tech for infantry
If you have any way of getting in touch with the devs behind this mod, suggest for the East Coast factions in homage to the show “Revolution”, factions being “Federation of Georgia” out of Atlanta and “Monroe Republic” out of Philadelphia
Hi, I just got into HOI recently and fell in love with this mod. Your tutorial is very useful! I was using combat widths wrong D: I know you said that stims and recon are good support divisions but from what I know, recon is pretty useless (at least in vanilla), so what would the benefit be in running recon in OWB? I also wonder about the other support divisions. I'm never sure what's really best so I end up running stims, demolitions, and fireteams for support divisions. I never run logistics as supply never seems to be an issue in this mod. I also LOVE the idea of running dogs, but whenever I do, I do not feel ANY impact from them
Divisions are really mix and match for what you want, same with support teams. The important think to remember is that every support division you add reduced the dive organixation, meaning it will break faster. Recon is a very miss understood thing. Reconnaissance gives your commanders to choose tactics after the opponent. Definsively this is huge as it means you choose tactics that explicitly counter the enemies attacking tactic. This gets very complex but the simple way to say it is that a good attack tactic not countered will really hurt you, so it can be the difference between breaking and holding to have recon.
Personally I like to run fire and demolition teams as part of the main division template and that frees up the ability to add anti tank, logistics, recon, maintenance, and Chem company's in the support roles. Giving my divisions, I feel, the best outcome for attack and defense.
What's the best way to learn to play the game, not just the modded bits? I tried out this mod, but since I didn't know the first thing about HoI4 I sucked at the game. I'm wanting to get back into it though since I love the lore I've read on the game, yet I'm still intimidated by the fact that I probably can't manage a functional civilization through multiple wars.
Just today I did a Texan Unification and a Caesars Legion playthrough TU was fun, a lot of interesting lore bits CL got annoying, not because the content isn't bad, but because the focus tree doesn't "shrink" when you get a certain leader path so its fucking obnoxious to navigate
The ncr is reallyy strong. Lost hills has a tree to unite the other brotherhood factions. If you prepare and make lots of power armor divisions its doable
@@specrtre lore wise, the brotherhood lost to the NCR specifically because the NCR had near limitless bodies to throw at them. One thing I've come to learn is that in this Game, unless you're a veteran player, you never wanna punch above your weight class. Because more territory = more manpower More manpower = more soldiers And more soldiers = a tsunami of bodies coming at you.
@@Hammurabae for some strange reason, my game crash when I try to construct something or when I try to train some units, I don't know what's happening, I really want to try this mod :'c
"unrelated I hope trump didn't coup the us government in 2024, otherwise i'd be in a war camp right now" HAHAHAHHAHA. this is not what i was expecting to hear in an OWB tutorial!
@@Hammurabae that's a dang shame. it'd really help to know what support companies in owb would best compare with the base game. i know the AT is the same, but i'm not sure what dogs compare to, or demolitions.
@@ShackleYT its simple. Dynamite tree is soft attack while machine guns add defense. Dogs are for garrisons anti tank gun is for piercing. The rest are about 1:1 with vanilla.
@@Hammurabae the slave you get if you like Caesar's legion Or other similar tribes or nations It's said that they give a production buff but there's no way to tell how many I have and how much income I'm making from them
@@pvzfan4208 claiming that the election was stolen from him and encouraging both armed and unarmed people to storm the capitol is pretty much a coup. Like what do you think he was looking to do? Just being mean? That my dude is a failed coup
@@vaultdude4871 A Republic elects officials to make decisions for the people. A Democracy is were the people vote on more decisions in a way. Also sorry for responding so late lmao.

Its fantastic in terms of creativity
HoI 4 modders are always just casually writing up the best worldbuilding you've ever seen.
Honduras vibing down south to busy to deal with Wasteland Mexico
Wriggle bug pfp!
The mexico update was honestly what absolutely sold me on this mod for the lore alone, it's very well made.
Hammanbre: this will confuse even veteran hoi4 players
Me: plays hoi4 for the first just to play old world blues getting ass blasted by the NCR and Legion as the Mojave chapter
I know a lot of people get hoi just to play OWB 😂 That has to be so brutal

The followers I did forget to add, thats a shame.
There should be more great tutorials for mods like this one. Sometimes bigger mods get really confusing with their many new mechanics.
Thank you thank you so much for this! I’ve been saving up for a PC and hoi4 old world blues is on my bucket list of games/mods to play 🙏😭💙
Hope you enjoy! Definitely give the Montana chapter a play through when you do
I’m honestly most excited for the Caribbean. It’ll make the navy more important around that area.
Agreed! The naval system is solid but river combat leaves something to be desired. East coast will make that even better too
@@Hammurabae you’re still replying to comments in this video? Damn that’s some dedication right there. Gotta respect that.
thanks mate, this mod helped me learn so much in HOI4 i got hoi4 just to play it
thx bro i couldnt play much more than 1 hour without feeling lost ty
Glad it helped
I have just done part of a game, having never played hoi before. This was very helpful!
one of the best mods for hoi4.
Its a gem

I have no contact with them. I would recommend going to their discord, I think there is a suggestions channel there
U should makes videos in this mod ngl Im a big fallout fan
This is literally a completely different game
It really is. Modders are wild

Are you a…. Triggered sjw?
Is that Keanu Reeves sitting in front of the medical booth at 4:52?

Watch some tutorials honestly. I have a few for base hoi4. Bittersteel has some good ones as well. They will save you tons of time and pain
Just today I did a Texan Unification and a Caesars Legion playthrough
TU was fun, a lot of interesting lore bits

I love you man omg thx you 🎉
This could be a game in itself.
Captions are not working everything is having no description!!!!!! I installed it properly
Does anyone know how the sophisticated tech is found or made
I really like this mod just cant figure out how to declare war on NCR as western BoS or at least break out my little bubble. Lol
Its in their focus tree i believe
@@Hammurabae Thank you for the information. I found it last night and than got overwhelmed Lol I wasn't expecting them to have 250 divisions.
The ncr is reallyy strong. Lost hills has a tree to unite the other brotherhood factions. If you prepare and make lots of power armor divisions its doable
@@Hammurabae Going to give it a try again today. Doesnt help that I'm a HOI newb in general lol. thanks for the replies and tut videos.

I just downloaded the new version.. Added to the playset.. But when I start the game, it loads the vanilla! Do u know why?
Try uninstalling hoi4 and unsubscribe from mods, then delete your mod folder for HOI4 and restart everything
"otherwise I'm probably in a work camp rn" lmao!!!
When I’m trying to play with this mod NOTHING WORKDA PLS HELP 😢
i can.t seem to fight the roach king as vault 34 when i all in for robots... is there a way for me to beat them?
Aircraft perhaps? Cas will help a lot, developing a tank corp to push will help a lot too
@@Hammurabae how can i develop aircraft or tank corp?
they are my starter neighbor
10:41 why put politics into this video about a OWB🤨
🤌
@@Hammurabae ok
Man, I hate when politics gets into my post-apocalyptic spec-fi mod built onto a World War 2 sim
Alhamdulillah hammu I always wanted to play it but I'm way too dumb
Glad it helped!
i can't join a game with old world blues i activated but still it's wont show up in the game
Are you launching with the right playlist?
@@Hammurabae only old world blues active do i need active the radio mod?
nvm i reinstalled the mod and it works now
when i install the mod its just the vanilla game and yes im at correct version
Are you launching with a playlist that has it activated?
Got the game for this
Worth it
What mod version do you have, pls can you do the link in the informations
First step getting it to actually run as of late :/
What problems are you having? It's currently very stable right now
Whats the issue? Would love to try and help

Can Someone please tell me how I can download and play this?
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2265420196 Subscribe to this on steam, and in the launcher activate it in mods!
I only have 60 hours on Hoi4 but I am better at OWB then Base game And MD
i swear that you can build railroads.
Your probably thinking of infrastructure, the icon for infrastructure is really similar to a railroad
Are they playing to expand the map into western america? Or no ?
can you help me im unable to load the mod even trying to go back dosent work
Any sub mods? Rolled back game version on steam? Putting the mod in a playlist and launching with that one specifically?
How do i get more energy cells
Como se instala uno me dio error y el otro me suscribí pero no cambio nada.
Cualquier otra modificación
hey man I don't know how to enable the mod,cause when I install it and enable it it doesn't work and I don't know which file i have to change
Just reinstall it
Unsubscribe, restart steam, resubscribe and try again
where can i go to learn what the support companies do specifically?
Idk if there is a resource out there for that tbh
@@Hammurabae that's a dang shame. it'd really help to know what support companies in owb would best compare with the base game. i know the AT is the same, but i'm not sure what dogs compare to, or demolitions.
