I could send in not necessarily a disaster save, but a save I have right before Barbarossa that I'm trying to get No Step Back achievement with. I'm pretty sure everything is in order but it's heavily micro-intensive. I know it's not really a disaster save but if you're interested in an achievement save I could send it
Appreciate all the work you do markoni, alot of us just dont have the time to stay for long in streams and you find a way to make them into shorter videos but keep most of the content. I hope your doing well!
I was AFK on the Tommykay stream while going for HOI4 achievements, and actually won 3rd place in the Kaiserreich giveaway. I dont even want to know how much luck i have sometimes
As tommy said in this video focus trees that give the player hability to do stuff instead of waiting are the best ones, for example the new NSB soviet tree is an AMAZING example of this, when you play historial or ahistorical soviets you are never doing nothing and justwaiting as you need to survive the stalin purges and control them with decisions
I especially love the focuses that give you debuffs as you're doing them but once they finish they give you the buff that's such cool attention to detail and I'm glad Paradox is starting to do stuff like that.
The purges are great in idea. But I found them to be tedious. Especially in non-historical. Having to take most of the country and build up support was fun the first couple of times. But got tedious soon after.
I love Tommy's Boston Accent. It sounds like he didn't know how they talked so he asked someone and they told him it's just an Irish Accent then he watched some Mark Wahlberg movies and then made magic with his tongue.
The ending is kinda the problem with Kaiserreich for years now. End game AI and player can just have a ridicule amount of men on the field aswell as OP buffs. I remember trying to invade end game CSA is practically impossible.
"This is for Thomas Jefferson!" Not from New England. "Oh wait, never mind! This is for George Washington!" Who was ALSO not from New England, lol hahaha
As someone who has grown up and still live right outside Pittsburgh, it’s so weird watching the front line of a war running pretty much through my house. I’m sure European viewers see that shit all the time when playing/watching but we haven’t seen anything like that beside Bushy Run in 1763 which was playground stuff compared to WW2.
@@valor9996 A small army with good logistics and equipment always beats a big army with bad logistics (in case you ask, until after Stalingrad, the Axis had more soldiers on the eastern front than the Sowjets).
you know what's interesting? you've actually matured a lot since i've been watching you for like 3 years and i've only thought about it for a week. and seeing you improve and markoni improving with his editing is a bit of heart warming.
I like to think if tommy was a nation his buffs would be Unstable Despot Minus 15% political power minus 35 stability per day Minus 10% division attack And marconi is a political advisor that fixes that
That actually a good balance in the end, in the Kaiser Reich almost everyone have their ups and downs, of Tommy a bit more longer he could finish Europe, and make a lot of d day some from bunch trash division and one or more good division so they actually able to land, it just to divide their troop so the real invasion have less resistance
I mean, at the end it's reasonable they couldn't take Europe considering the new focus trees didn't pop up - probably a lot of buffs in them that he ended up missing out on.
Would be cool if the New England parties had some older era names. Like Loyalists/Tories if they want to stay as New England in the British/Canadian millieu. Federalist/whig for the path of becoming USA/independent again.
@@katamattyon in my personal experience I've never seen a problem with the crazy stuff in redux due to how most of it takes so much to do that only 1 or 2 ai countries do something insane, and the really stupid stuff like Jesus leading Poland or Trotsky coming back has to be enabled pre-game to even happen.
Next video idea, "Win the American Civil War in Kaisereich as the Union State/Southern victory, or have Huey long win the election, then beat the SPA in a civil war"
I fucking lost when he made air-raid siren sounds with his mouth and started drawing invasion plans when he realized Mexico was communist. Local German is more American than all of California
6:52 the thing Tommy wants is literally in the game as resource decisions. Just research excavation and wait 90 days with 3 civs and you have extra resources. Tommy thinks it doesn't exist because he has seen them so much that he doesn't care or realize they are the same or he wants it to be named differently so it seems special(but its not the thing is no matter the context it's the same +4 steel).
"Just research excavation amd wait 90 days with 3 civs and you have extra resources. " This isn't the same thing at all. Also that is a far, far, far more limited decision. What Tommy is taking about is things like the Bulgaria decisions in vanilla, or pretty much every Kaiserreich nation, where you have a ton of decisions that affect your politics, stability, laws, industry, resources, etc. Where instead of sitting around doing nothing for half the game, you actually have to balance and manage what is going on in your country constantly. Saying a couple crappy excavation decisions is the same as what Tommy is talking about is like saying a kiddy pool is the same as an Olympic pool just because they both have water.
What tommy forgot ( actually I don’t blame him maybe he don’t have the time for it and might be not fun for the stream ) is that in late game direct combat wont be enough. When you reach 1945 its all about Air Superiority and Strategic Bombing, I’m talking green air with bombers decimating enemy factories. Nukes is a must now when you have the enemy put 20 millions men on the front just nuke the shit out of them and advance. If your economy isn’t big enough to do this then understand that you’re the weaker side and you have to be on defense not offense until you reach the capacity to bomb and nuke the enemy.
Death before dishonor!! Tommy if you want my guns you will have to pry them from the cold hands of me and my kin! Sic semper tyrannis! JK, good video as always.

As a New Englander, this was awesome.
I love how Tommy still says "tausend" instead of "thousand" sometimes

tommy really be out here calling huey long a fascist
I’m from New England and this is awesome to see tommy play as my home
What I like in vic 3 is that I build a nation. In Hoi 4 I build armies... A mix would be awesome
I like how Buffalo is in New England in this mod. Don't tell Bills fans.
As a new Englander im kinda fabgastered that they did this
Do you live in New Hampshire
Same
Wow the build hasn't gotten worst since I was last working on it. Good to see KR bullying tactics are paying off.
"The M1 Garand very, very early."
In game time - 1939
M1 Garand introduction time - 1936

9:10 till 9:20 , tommy roasted 2 people in 10 seconds with 3 roasts
The Band of Brothers music was very fitting at the end
Yo Tommy and Kaiser Cat partnered that’s awesome
Rebles use their guns to help Tommy take down the fascists, Tommy plays the uno reverse card and takes all the guns so no one can fight him, lol
I couldn’t stop making Tom Brady jokes when I played New England the first time
I like to think if tommy was a nation his buffs would be
Unstable Despot
Minus 15% political power
minus 35 stability per day
Minus 10% division attack
And marconi is a political advisor that fixes that
That actually a good balance in the end, in the Kaiser Reich almost everyone have their ups and downs, of Tommy a bit more longer he could finish Europe, and make a lot of d day some from bunch trash division and one or more good division so they actually able to land, it just to divide their troop so the real invasion have less resistance
Damn, love the music in the background, Luke Kelly and the Dubliners.
It's so crazy that a mod has merchandise
gooooood stuff! glad its up! ive been itching for some mods again =)
As a new Englander this makes me very happy especially as someone from Boston and then even happier as an irish immigrant Bostonian
:D
Thanks for the home region play through right before my birthday
Can’t believe Tommy was listening to dirty old town by the dubliners lol
Is TommyKay actually Alex the Rambler 2.0? Expect to see more monarchist playthroughs
“mary land” hahaha. not like i like there but that’s funny. Now I know how Tommy must feel when we pronounce German cities
Oh, no these new help saves game are Gonna make me have brain damage.
wins: epic pog game
loses: i dont want to deal with toxic kids
(respect tommy but I bet you can destroy them, dont give in like that cx)
true
That loving memory picture fucking killed me Lmfao
You can elect h.p lovecraft in kaiserredux.

Damn Tommy's southern accent is too awesome
I know that they probably had to do it for balance reasons, but New York isn't a part of New England...
18:10 Tommy, everythings fine!
Love the music in the back Tommy
tommy at 19:46: I DETECT A LITTLE COMMUNISM
I mean, at the end it's reasonable they couldn't take Europe considering the new focus trees didn't pop up - probably a lot of buffs in them that he ended up missing out on.
ye thats true
Tommy always has a great playlist while playing hoi4

Love playing with ya Macaroni.
omg that's actually nice focus tree
You should really try new kx russia since its huge and cool
I dont know if he already played it, but you can do some crazy shit in kaiserredux
I tried it too, it's great during pre-war and civil war, but gets a bit ehh after that. Still, amazing mod and tons of much needed flavor
Love to see my home region represented
Loves how he is complaining about toxic people in the chat while he is super toxic himself.

probs to the kaiserreich team amazing how modders can improve a game a lot no hate to the HOI4 developers but its really amazing
I find it a funny that tommy says Kaiserreikk wenn he obviously can pronounce it correctly
The best disaster save was when Charles De Gaulle took over playing France
Man I also really wanted to stream this but it kept crashing for me :(
But I am happy I can watch it now.
Why is there Irish rebel songs in the background haha. I didn’t know TommyKay was a fan of Luke Kelly 😂
