i mean they couldn't push into germany through alsace-lorraine anyways because of the westwall fortifications. also, the french military high command was inclined to believe the maginot line would simply allow them to hold indefinitely.
When making Field Marshal frontlines, try shift-clicking. That will prevent generals from being assigned individual sections of the frontline so the AI doesn't end up walking away from battles because the area the general's units were assigned to changes.
It's better to start with Regency Council focus first, as you still have to wait for the event to pick the king and unlocking path you want to take so in the meantime you can take care of the strike
Laith is playing Hoi4 again? That's kinda nice. By the way Poland always had issues finding a king since the middle ages because of the crusade of varna where their king died. In conclusion they formed a elective monarchy led by the Sejm and made the Jagiellions the rulers of both Poland and Lithuania thus forming the union as shown in EU4. Also, any thoughts regarding the new Ante Bellum patch? You should play Persia as it has new stuff 😊
It became Japanese Russia because when you go the ALT route in USSR you can get help from Japan trading your independence and becoming a puppet for guns or something.
The pain of looking at Laith play HOI4 after my own 2000 hours in the game has decreased with recent videos because he's become slightly better. Although, it's like it's gone from a hurricane of pain to a storm of pain. Please learn tanks and aircraft, I beg. Also, always go Total Mob over War Economy, the Women In The Workforce decision gives you the recruitable population back and it's only available if you're on Total Mob. And hold shift when you draw field marshal frontlines, that way all armies have one frontline together instead of each one having their own little section of the front (and this'll stop divisions moving around so much and leaving gaps in the lines).
It is day 147 since I asked you to do the challenge with Croatia in VIC 3 but in one of the videos, a good person named Andraip (Thanks for all the help) said it has a few flaws so it's time to correct them. So when you start playing as Croatia you have 15 years to get your independence, after that you cannot ally, get in a defensive pact, and you cannot be under any kind of protection and you must rival these powers as soon as possible: Austria, Russia, Serbia, Montenegro, Ottomans, and all nations from the Italian boot. You also must embargo all those nations and cannot enter their custom union nor can they enter yours. You cannot be in an alliance with any of the top 10 nations, including a defensive pact custom union, or protectorate, but you can trade with them. AI must be put on the default settings in case it isn't. If you ally let's say Portugal, and later on they get into the top 10, you must break the alliance. You also must stay monarchy all the time. Form the Danubian state with Croatia following these rules. (FYI incase I didn't make it more specific, you cannot join anybody's custom union you must always at all times have your own market)
Realistically what they have now is better, the territories gained from germany were far wealthier than the majority of the country and to this day remain the nation's industrial heartland
You should really stop using the field marshal order like that. Just press shift when you create the frontline and it will make a unified one, instead of dividing by armies which then causes dumb reshuffle accros the front when it decides to move an army all the way accross lmao.
That wasn't a bad time because of Hitler. That was a bad time because of communists/bolsheviks. Poland would have actually stayed neutral in the Germanic shenanigans but then the PM suddenly and mysteriously died and was replaced by one that really wanted to war with Germany(they thought they would have allies in the French and the British, lol),. The bolshevik radicals then started genociding the ethnic Germans in Gdansk and other western territories. This spurred Hitler to act because "MEIN VOLK" and sign a pact with the communists to squeeze Poland from both sides. If the bolsheviks didn't exist, Europe would have probably stayed relatively peaceful.
Fun fact: the French AI is coded not to do anything but stand on their border to simulate how completely incompetent they were in WW2
i mean they couldn't push into germany through alsace-lorraine anyways because of the westwall fortifications. also, the french military high command was inclined to believe the maginot line would simply allow them to hold indefinitely.
Remember they didn't want to fire because they were scared the Germans would fire back
Man if the French saw the um Border like they would definitely hold😂
Laith not understanding Hoi4's military system always gets me
I have a 100 hours in hoi4 and do the same
@@SzymonJakichWiele 100 hours is basically 0 tbh
@@SaltyCanadian yep, I’ve got only near 500 hours.
@@SzymonJakichWiele I have over 1000 and I still don’t understand parts of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the devs themselves fully know it.
just holding shift when creating a frontline solves the problem of losing the entrenchment
Laith somehow making a really good PLC game in hoi4 despite knowing nothing about it
His focus choices were actually pretty terrible, but whatever... if it works it works
"The French have finally joined in. Push them! Just do something, I'm fighting for my life!" is a very historically accurate statement :D
When making Field Marshal frontlines, try shift-clicking. That will prevent generals from being assigned individual sections of the frontline so the AI doesn't end up walking away from battles because the area the general's units were assigned to changes.
i love how laith is amazed by hoi4
suboptimal, but I'll allow it
Are you going to play EU4?
I am what you made me.
32:43 Maybe i'll build a tank someday had me rolling
Just so you know Laith you can get a massive bonus to combat if you have a battle plan for your troops to follow.
In this video, Laith discovers why ISP went insane after playing HOI4 :D
"Soloing the Germans" is such a WW2 Poland moment. Though it didn't historically go so well.
Love the Hoi4 content Laith keep it up.
Imagine the Austrian Painter hearing Polish noises outside his bunker asking if they can come in 😂😂😂

He didn’t even have an offensive line, and then complained he can’t have a general offensive
I must say that I really enjoyed watching you play HOI4, counting on more videos in the future :DDD
This is the funniest thing to do in hoi4 especially as Lithuania
Then the winged hussars arrived! 🐎 ⚔️

Do enjoy the different games also you really suited that moustache you should grow it back
I see your hair is still partitioned. Do you call the right side Poland and the left one Lithuania?
Loving that you are playing Hoi4 now
You can always take units from your puppets if you need help with holding lines
Btw Laith, you can right-click on nations to open their nation screen instead of clicking their flags from the territory.
28:04 Laith is still on horses for supplies :X
Wait this isn’t the real Laith, the real Laith has a good haircut
*16:25** historical polish experience*
Bruh this is so underrated omg
Laith plays hoi4? Yes please!
Laith…Ante Bellum, Capua….trust me!!!
5:19 same, same...
this is like the most cursed game i ever saw in hoi4
All I know of hoi4 is from Laith so it looks fine to me. Not that I personally rag on people doing stuff happily in games I know about
love laith hoi4 content :) and tbh if ur more comfortable with mods, itd be cool to see u just hit up a game of x or y
Laith you should play as the habsburg count in ck3

POLAND MENTIONED
Do an achievement run, Laith. Just for the giggles.
This game is intense. Why did he let France get all that land in a peace deal? They didn’t do anything to deserve it?
I noticed you had not formed Italy as Parma in victoria 3 yet. Can you fix this issue?
First time I’ve seen crimea rise up in the tzarist Soviet civil war
I think your issue is you push only with troops and not with a break through unit, but an amazing video nonetheless
Restore the Roman Empire as byz in ck3
Lore of I BROUGHT BACK the COMMONWEALTH in HOI4 momentum 100
The fact that he didn't sort out the danzig thing right after dealing with the peasants has left me in shambles
reasumując wszystkie aspekty kwintesencji tematu, dochodzę do fundamentalnej konkluzji; POLSKA GÓRĄ!!!
Sorry I'm late, I was trying to come up with a transition to Fire Emblem on the 35th day. Please play.

@@Cohor101 Cool!
Be nice to the cat!
Laith discoveres French ai:
Where's your mustache we saw yesterday??
Why are all great empires SQUARE
POLSKA GUROM!!!!
0:52 Restore what?
Realistically what they have now is better, the territories gained from germany were far wealthier than the majority of the country and to this day remain the nation's industrial heartland
real life poland to france and britain DO SOMETHING
For me it's the opposite because I love watching your CK3 and EU4 content but don't fully understand the games. Where as I am pretty ok at Hoi4.
You should really stop using the field marshal order like that. Just press shift when you create the frontline and it will make a unified one, instead of dividing by armies which then causes dumb reshuffle accros the front when it decides to move an army all the way accross lmao.
If you switch the channel's focus to HOI, I think you could rename it clueLaith
HOI4!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSS
Wait a minute. That's not Laith! It's Zlewikk! Thought we won't recognize you?
Watchin Laith play HOI4 is like watching my 7yr old cousin play GTA I'm proud when he does summat right but fuck r the blunders funny
Poland is only nation that take capital of Russia .. maybe we shall do it again ..
Day 4 of asking for a Bread Tier List🍞🍞🍞
I love Poland but ya know what I love more! The fact that this is day 50 of asking laith to play Morocco in vic 3
Bóbr
This is Day 39 of me asking you to do a mega campaign from ck3 to hoi4. (Wait for the Vic 3 to hoi4 converter)
W Laith

Day 21 of asking for you to play Victoria 2 as cuba and become Fidel castro
Day 20 (🎉) of asking for an eu4 Austria into Germany (not HRE) run.
You played Poland really bad. Your decisions on what to produce and the focus and building order were terrible but if it works it works
Based

Hitler still hated the treaty of versailes and still wanted the Polish corridor
Pin this please.
God Hoi 4 is boring,.
