The alliance and war early in the game was a historical event that was part of the period of turmoil known as the Boxer Rebellion. As the story goes, Boxer rebels sieged down the Legation Quarter of Beijing, as it offered shelter to Chinese Christians (Boxers were very anti-Christian due to foreign-enforced concessions towards that demographic) and foreigners, and this prompted the formation of an incredibly rare informal alliance between almost all European empires (Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Russia) plus Japan and the USA (thus the "Eight Nation Alliance") to put a stop to the siege, as all powers had vested interests in rescuing those being besieged. The siege lasted 55 days, and is the subject of a notorious multilingual song known as "55 Days in Peking" as well as a film. The rebellion, however, lasted longer - from 1899 (so it was already ongoing at the start of the game) until 1901.
Awesome video as always Alex! I have an idea for this mod: Could you make a series where you pick a nation that we can follow through the ages? From 1900 to the "end of the mod". Each episode could be from one start-date to the other, but the country with all your choices and wars "carries over" to the next start date. :) Keep being awesome!
Oh this mod, I almost became a dev of the mod when it was still small until I realized I had no actual time I could give to devving. Haven't played it in a while but I remember the people who worked on the mod were all very welcoming
I found this start date very interesting! Its really cool to see all the earlier events in history that arent in basic hoi4. I really liked this video!
Fact: If you put Kaiser Franz Joseph I next to Kaiser Wilhelm I, they both seem to have nearly the exact same beard. Wilhelm's sideburns and mustache aren't as thick as those from Franz Joseph though.
(before i watched the Video) FINALLY, THIS MOD GETS ATTENTION. I LOVED TO PLAY IT SO MUCH! a bit buggy but really enjoyable ^^ (After i wachend the video) Man, i should play this mod again (maybe not 1900) but now i want to play this again ^^
I don't know what "Spooky" is about, but Rise of Nations is a beautiful RTS game, and this mod has used it's logo. I had to mention in case you don't know because I love Rise of Nations. Not the mod I mean the game.
i was playing a run with the German Reich starting 1910, turned socialist and was delivering friendship to the whole european continent until 1955. Now all are friends in europe.
Do this start date again but with a minor nation. I of course suggest my home country of Denmark, but something like Greece or Romania would also suffice :) Would give more gameplay and less steam-rolling early on :)
*This mod is wacky AF*
Rise of Nation is AF
No way
Midway ain't AF??
I love wacky mods!
Lol
Wacky And Fresh
Alex is slowly going further and further back with the start dates. One day he will conquer all of babylon.
And Victoria 4, Steampunk Edition.
Slinger only Egypt Bronze Age Collapse
As the German empire
Tonks only Babylon!
There's actually more start dates, there's a scroll button there.
U wot mate
@@AlextheRambler no no, he is right. On the right hand side of the selection screen.
Alex trying not to pick germany the moment he plays a mod:
I can't help it
@@AlextheRambler Alex the chad, i have a very fascinating request, can you take over the world as Liechtenstein? Thank you.
HOI4 slowly moving closer and closer to a Victoria 3 start date
Or eu4
Old Europe (i guess): F O O L
Alex like this comment or you have to do artillery only

@@AlextheRambler Lemme give ISP a call

When the Schlieffen plan actually works
Also Alex’s reaction at 17:21
Germano-Hungarian Empire is based and had me laughing.
Awesome video as always Alex!

The wackiest part is how Austria Hungary put up more of a fight than Russia

Damnit, that had me scrambling for my alt+tab.
“Russia is holding, because France arrived in Russia” had me dying. The utter irony of that statement in 1907.
19:26 Napoleon ahh treatment 😂
5:47 Got jump scared there
5:47 Steam DM's during filming, how fun.
Thank you for bringing back the head shake in the intro.
You bet
Oh I love this mod! Love how they connect in-game
SPOOKY, im SPOOKED, and will not be the same man i once was after this video

This mod looks like a lot of fun! I'd love to see more!
Great video Alex. Fun watch.
So happy you’re embracing spooky season
Comment for the algorithm

Looks like fun! Can’t wait for more.

Commenting for the algorithm and for Alex the Rambler ❤
Do this start date again but with a minor nation. I of course suggest my home country of Denmark, but something like Greece or Romania would also suffice :)
Would give more gameplay and less steam-rolling early on :)

Ah, starting during the Vertigo Years. Interesting.

I cant wait for the 1939 scenario of this mod, new unique stuff!
Yes sir play all it will be a good video
More mod please ramble man!
I always enjoy RISE, largely because of its long-play opportunities; though it has its issues...
I love these videos there so funny
i think alex forgot he could scroll down the start date menu 😭
I can’t imagine doing every start is going to be good for your mental health…
Great mod!
Comment for the algorithm. Love your work!

How do i put the beta 1.14.4 in hoi4?
I'd love to see you give the old Rambler Try as Russia in 1900 and try to win the Russo-Japanese war. It'd be spiffin'!
How do you get the Rise of Nations mod to work? I can't find 1.14.4 for the life of me and none of the other betas work for the mod.
Alexthegambler
Never heard of this mod before will have to give it a try! How do you find mods like these? (I browse steam and don’t find mods like this)
