@@rebelsj2159 hi! They have about 80 but you don't get most of it in any case since it is an occupied state. Actually, if you check the difference in total steel (both extracted and exported) after releasing Algeria, it is about 6 steel. And you can import it from them if you feel like you really need it (should not be the case though as France has an abundance of steel)

@@roadkill6737 thank you so much! Every little thing helps!

Ciao! Il potere politico e' molto molto importante in realta'. Per esempio, grazie al Fascist Demagogue (150PP) possiamo prendere War Economy (150PP) piuttosto presto, che e' un enorme boost alla nostra economia. E' molto importante anche prendere army offense (100PP) early, che ci permette di farmare army xp. Per questo motivo, prendere Silent Workhorse il prima possibile garantisce il miglior ritorno per il tuo investimento. Come giustamente hai evidenziato, ci vuole circa un anno per rientrare nel costo. Passato quel periodo di tempo pero' cominciamo a farne un profitto costante, prendendo fino a oltre 300 extra PP per quando inizia la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Considera poi che ci sono altri modifier al PP gain che lo boostano ulteriormente. Per quanto riguarda Rihneland prima di 4 Years Plan ci sono 2 ragioni, la prima e' prendere il PP il prima possibile per avere il silent workhorse ASAP. La seconda e' che i bonus alla industrial research speed sono sprecate sulle technologie base, quindi e' meglio completare il focus un po' piu' avanti, in modo da poter usare lo sconto su technologie piu' avanzate.

@@MachiavellianStrategist i 2 bonus sulla velocità di ricerca mi son sempre andati sulla dispersa 1 e 2 (praticamente come hai fatto te in questa run, usando il primo bonus sulla concentrata all'1), ma facendo prima il four year plan si hanno 12 civili tramite quel ramo, ora proverò a fare il rhineland prima, prendendo il silent workhorse e facendo economia di guerra tramite PP invece che tramite focus. E qui mi sorge un altro dubbio, come mai hai fatto il focus che ti da economia di guerra se già l'avevi preso tramite PP? lo fai per le militari che ti da? non conviene puppetizzare romania e ungheria se prendi la war economies tramite PP?? Comunque grazie, per tutto :D

@@dajeziii sì sì ma le civili le prendiamo comunque, però in questo modo prendiamo war economy prima rispetto a fare il focus, fermo restando che anche l'anschluss è molto importante quindi dobbiamo per forza fare Rhineland. In realtà entrambi i path vanno assolutamente bene. Però se prendi silent workhorse, covinenre sempre farlo il prima possibile, per avere il ritorno maggiore. Il focus di war economy lo facciamo perché 6 mil per un focus è tanta roba hehe

@@MachiavellianStrategist Io l'Aunschluss l'ho sempre ritardato il piu possibile secondo la logica che piu tempo passa più l'Austria ha costruito fabbriche xD

@@dajeziii ci sta assolutamente come ragionamento, anche se prima l'annetti prima trai beneficio dalle fabbriche che hanno costruito. Probabilmente la cosa migliore è una via di mezzo, ma l'importante è che funzioni! In realtà uno dei motivi principali per cui nella guida cerco di farlo il prima possibile è per rendere la guida viable anche in non-historical. Siccome c'è il rischio che qualcun altro la "rubi" (di solito l'Ungheria), cerco di annetterli appena possibile per evitare qualsiasi rng negativo. Ma questo ovviamente non vale in historical runs.

@@Dottheoriginal yes! This is all thanks to you guys, especially members of the channel like you really help keeping this project alive! Thank you so much for your support!

@@alessandrocalamida4938 hi! This short might answer your question: th-cam.com/users/shortshA9v3nKwQro?si=jpagy-5OoL_wp7Hn You can also watch the full video linked to it for more details!

@@MachiavellianStrategist So, there are some advantages and of course disavantages. Because I like to release country like kurdistan from Iran or Greenland from Denmark and similar.

@@alessandrocalamida4938 exactly, overall I would say that it depends on the situation, but either option is fine ultimately! So up to your preference!

@@SEGASLAYER64Thewcse hi, I don't think there is such a focus though. You might be referring to "clamp down on Danzig" which is also the one shown in the video. With it, you can peacefully annex Danzig. But this strategy allows you to skip a focus and a decent amount of political power. It is not mandatory, but an extra focus and political power early on can make a difference!

@@MachiavellianStrategist ah yes you are right I apologize for my comment it's been awhile since I last played Poland

@@SEGASLAYER64Thewcse no worries 😉

@@sutekh7890 hi! Here is the unedited version: th-cam.com/video/3H8RgziORWY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TYxt0rAhZVSQV7m1 It happens around 19:23 for no apparent reason, I am not sure what exactly triggers it...

@@WT_Bolt hi! By puppeting Poland as a non-aligned country. In this case it was as Napoleonic France!

@@Mister_Bobloxer good point, I only use them for defensive purposes though. I always prefer to manage my offensives with individual armies, assigned to a different marshal.

@@Wolfisano yep, Japan doing something useful is an absolute miracle! They did as my puppets though, that's probably why!

@@pharell366 we will be in China very soon, although as Mao not as Napoleon hehe

@@Crashed_Byte and of course I started the offensive in winter! But I got some Italian made cardboard shoes for you guys!

@@LiebestraumLiszt hi! First of all, welcome to the game, Hoi4 is a lot of fun once you get into it! The basic marshal line is very simple to make, instead of clicking on your general to assign a front, you click on your marshal (which must have several armies assigned, like in the video). He will then spread your armies/divisions along the entire front.

@@erpega yes, that is correct! It can be very convenient and it spreads your divisions around a little better. The only issue is, if you plan to split them again at some point it is better to keep the armies divided.

@@MachiavellianStrategist you can just take one army and immediately unassign it from the front, without worrying that they will leave their frontline open, since there are other armies assigned to the same front, that are already in same provinces. Also if you have separate divisions for holding the line and for pushing, and you don't want divisions with weak defense holding some parts of your line

@@Yugoslavian530 it's a fair trade!

Hi! On historical that really should not happen. However, unfortunately, reloading the game can sometimes trigger events that would not otherwise happen. This is likely one of them. If you have an older save you could try reloading it and see if anything changes, or you could give up on Romania... Fighting the Axis early is possible but it is not ideal for sure, so any other option would be preferable. Let me know if you manage to find a solution!

@@MachiavellianStrategist 1. Damn that was a fast response 2. no i did not reload the Game and it's on historial, the Game has been fucking me over in historical for no reason for like the 13th time now, i cannot play hoi4 rn, they have a wargoal on me, any idea when is that they join the axis/stop being scared of joining a war?, cause i create the concept between seas faction to try to invite bulgaria as they wouldve of accepted but soviets declared 2 days earlier than the Focus could finish.

@@nehuenroman7690 Damn that's really unlucky, the faction might have been a great solution to the issue! In theory they should not join the Axis until after WW2 triggers, but they also definitely should not have a claim on Romania, so it does seem like something weird is going on... That considered, it is difficult to foresee what Bulgaria will do, as they are "acting strange". The only suggestion I have would be to try and avoid an early war with the Axis at all costs. If it really cannot be avoided, you can join the Allies and get the UK to help you, but it will be a tough one...

@@CoolChris2080 Italy would be doomed!

@@theunknown1666

We are exporting some development!

@@Jerry-sf5sc hi! Let's say that this was more generic than specifically for this run. In general I prefer to steal the enemy navies so I don't have to build one. That being said, having access to the US from Canada is great but you still need to protect your supplies routes from the mainland, and the Royal Navy will help greatly in doing so!

@@quincyames2014 haha thanks!

@@prikolica3567 true, infrastructures only give supply bonuses to the divisions present in the region, the thing is that the front keeps moving. But having high infrastructures is always convenient for future development too.

@@Bloodknight7567

@@korin9269 yes, good armored divisions can definitely do that! It's a great strategy and it is also quite accurate. I noticed that in the current war Ukrainian and Russian divisions often advance along the railways.

@@MachiavellianStrategist you can actually learn a lot from hoi4 esports like competitive games.

@@szymontyrka8921 multiplayer is a different game hehe! But most hoi4 players play single player.

@@keremgencguven6072 i agree (although you need green air before you put CAS on, or it won't do much).

@@jakelingo1095 I agree, in certain situations they are very convenient! Especially with big fronts like the Soviet one.

And it will spread the divisions.more evenly

Hi! They are both marshal lines I believe, the difference is that if you do it while pressing shift you will not have the marshal line split in sub armies, instead all armies will be spread around to cover the entire front. Both ways have their use, although, if you think you will split them again at some point, keeping the sub-armies might be convenient as they will already be in position.

@@MachiavellianStrategistShift frontline is more easily split without needing to divide entire generals but just divisions as you want them. The game also divides troops weirdly and unevenly if the frontline changes when not using shift

@@erasin8844 fair point!

@@martinescobar3908 definitely very useful!

@@sus_sand5811 that is correct as well, building additional railways can be a great way to keep your armies supplied when you cannot easily capture enemy railways.

@@Jerry-sf5sc good question, I am on a pretty decent pc so I did not notice any difference (in fact I did not know you could disable them haha). But I do believe it is very important to be able to see them.

The strain on your GPU chip is more about resolution, 1440p resolution for example, than it is about map mode. That being said, changes in various details from frame to frame will affect frame rate potential as well. As such, the slightly under-used terrain map mode is probably the least stressful of the various Hearts of Iron 4 map modes, while the normal army map mode is probably the most stressful. As such, don't be afraid of going from the normal army map mode to naval map mode or air map mode or supply map mode or terrain map mode during those times when you need to know things other than where your army divisions are and how lengthy their Organization and Strength bars are, since you are actually actually giving your GPU a slightly easier job to do when you are in those other map modes. If you are playing computer games other than Hearts of Iron 4, a lot of the newer computer games will be a lot more stressful on your GPU for a given resolution than Hearts of Iron 4. From a GPU future proofing point of view for playing the newer computer games of the 2020s, you want a GPU chip with 16 GB or more of memory anyway. Hearts of Iron 4 is more of a CPU intensive game than a GPU intensive game anyway, especially in 1944 and later years when there can be perhaps more than a thousand warships and more than a thousand army divisions in the world, as well as hundreds of airwings There are some TH-cam channels devoted to recommending the best budget combinations of motherboard and CPU and GPU and RAM. As an overview of electronic components for a gaming computer: * CPU should probably have 6 cores and 12 threads, the so called 6C/12T CPUs. There are a lot of choices out there of those 6C/12T CPUs. * The motherboard will almost certainly be some type of B650 motherboard. You have a lot of choices of B650 motherboards. * RAM should probably have 32 GB of memory, and be runnable at about 6000 MHz speed. For that type of RAM, there are a lot of choices out there. * GPU, for the sake of future proofing, should have 16 GB (or perhaps even a little more), of its own memory. A GPU chip is expensive, and will cost about as much as a CPU chip plus a motherboard plus a RAM chip, so you want a GPU chip that won't get obsolescent for the next 6 years, and might possibly be good enough for the next 10 years. Last year's electronic favorites of the Bitcoin mining corporations tend to be this year's favorites of videogamers, since legacy production of electronic components tends to stay in place for a couple of years after the cryptocurrency mining corporations suddenly mass decide that a newer better set of computer components will more effectively convert their megawatt hours of electricity consumption into money. Consequently, since things will therefore change on a once a year or so basis on which manufacturer and model is best for a particular type of gaming computer component, watch a few recent videos from the TH-cam electronics testing channels, if it turns out that you might need to make a change or two to your gaming computer. Short version: Supply map mode in Hearts of Iron 4 should put little stress on your GPU. However, the set of computer games that you play might require a new GPU anyway. Also, in addition to GPU, there is CPU and RAM, and perhaps motherboard as well, that might have to be considered for updating for the sake of gaming purposes. For more information, look for TH-cam titles along the lines of "Best Gaming Rig for 2024" or "Best Livestreaming CPU and GPU and RAM for 2024".

@@glauberglousger956 there is a little trick for that too. Spies are much more likely to be captured if you spy the enemy capital, but if you build your network in some remote provinces of the USSR they are much less likely to be discovered!
