Classic HOI4 progression in action, next step could be "Fight god" and it wouldn't be too far out of character for this game.
next step, 10th Crusade Malta
10 hours into hoi4: wow this is a cool, in depth simulation
1000 hours: this game is solid but has some gamebreaking cheese
10,000 hours: hey guys check out my Rhode Island world conquest
@@joec754 rhode island world conquest starting as puppet of italy + using 1 finger only + blindfolded (easy)
Reminds me of a relevant quote by Stalin: “The Pope? How many divisions has he?”
Vatican City world conquest.
Fun fact is that as fascist Italy you can form the Roman empire and since italy is so primitive you can get a democratic reformer flip to democracy before hand conquer Germany and also form the EU
Yep i did that and now like all of Europe and stuff is my core
Yeah
Hitler would be the laughing stock instead
if game allows to conquer peak germany then its called failed game design...peak germany is unconquerable
This is awesome! While I like playing Italy for the SPQR formable nation I really hope the next HOI4 DLC will be an Alpine DLC focusing on air mechanics and adding or expanding the focus trees for the Alpine countries of Switzerland, Austria and Italy. That would definitely be a welcome change
Me too, Italy needs desperate rework. Don't forget Albania.
Peace conference rework, air rework if needed, Swiss, Austria, Italy, Albania, Ethiopia rework.
@@azownedd they have
the next dlc will have a focus tree for italy. its been confirmed.
I don't think the air system needs a rework honestly. A rebalance for sure, but its nice the way it is. And Paradox really is either doing a Italy rework or is smoking some serious shit since they hav already reworked the USSR
@@DonutOfNinja source: i made it up
The ad is really well implemented, Roman art is truly marvelous
And postmodern art mostly replaces talent with pretentiousness
Sculpting a veil, or human expressions, with STONE is insanely talented. You really feel like the statues are real people
Nowadays if you would get a sculpture it'll be all distorted and covered in shit or something as some grand societal statement noone really understands 😂🤦🏻♂️
@@Tom-oj7si there's some postmodern art tho that when seen in person affects you totally differently and succeeds because of the emotions it illicits when you see it.
@@andym2345 most of it is just shit smeared on a wall though.
@@Tom-oj7si also, those statues were painted, which is pretty cool
Obviously we don’t know exactly how the paint looked but we have some ideas
OH also they had fuckin clothes, atleast the naked ones did, the built in clothes just get painted
@@Tom-oj7si who cares about postmodern art lol? why bring it up?
At 15 minutes you comment the French supply situation. When you play France, you'll notice quickly that Savoy is a red supply zone; I always build a new hub there.
Just make the sea zone and avoided area so that they don't send supply by sea only the very northern tile will be red that way which it is not worth building a supply hub their since you can easily capture France's
God I can’t wait for Italy rework, even Lituania has a better focus tree than us
It better be the best tree ever
Hey now, the trains already run on time. 😂 Nah, every major needs a rework every once in a while. Italy would be a nice one to see!
Your name is cool as hell
Everything is better than the tree we have since fucking lunch
Thanks man, yours is not bad as well
Very smooth plug at the beginning sir, i didnt see it coming at first. I applaud you.
Thank you kindly!
I really love, how bi3terrsteel updates his opd guides for nsb
Yeah the update rly changed the game makes some of his old guides a little hard to follow
I like doing it in the fastest way, I mean, the cheesiest way:
1) Research paratroopers
2) Bypass "Triumph in Africa"
3) Claims on Yugoslavia
4) Join the Axis
5) Paradrop in France while suicide paradrops in Romania, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia
6) Declare war against the Benelux
7) Naval invasion in the UK, encircle London and keep killing their troops
7.1) Abuse the 15-day justification time and declare war on Austria, Greece, Turkey, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Iraq, etc
8) after getting one tile of enemy territory or getting one troop killed, capitulate the UK
That segue into the sponsor was smooth af
i love how he made it "competent" and not perfect, just leaving some room for small mistakes :P
I finished watching the old video, went to my laptop 5 minutes later and then I see "1 hour ago, new version of the video you just watched"
Some impeccable timing, I was just starting my attempts on Roman Empire yesterday.
In Italy's defense, they knew they couldn't go to war until '43, but Germany was insistent on starting the war several years before its ally was ready and still demanding well over a million Italian guns. If the Axis wasn't getting 25% of all its guns from Italy and instead gave Italy the needed resources to build up, they could have been less laughable
i always ask myself "what if italy waas prepared for WW2"
@@sablin819 It likely wouldn't have majorly changed the course of the war. Poland might have put up a stiffer response and France would be bulldozed even faster, the USSR wouldhave completed the 5 year plan, likely at tremendous cost, and would likely lose just as many during the beginning stages of Barb. Italy would have a better trained and equipped army, but its generals would likely be just as ineffectual.
@@somewhereelse1235 soo it would basically be just a little stronger not much would change right?
@@sablin819 Pretty much. Italian doctrine was really bad and isn't likely to have changed in the years after Ethiopia
@@sablin819 Nothing would have changed, Germany lost the moment the USA started land -leasing the USSR.
After 200 hours of still playing Italy since I purchased the game seeing you breakthrough Nice that easily while I'm still struggling at the Alps kinda piss me off.
可不是嘛？ 這些攻略影片如此輕鬆的突破原本不可能突破的防禦，別忘了任何基礎上的攻擊都比防禦困難，尤其是相同的部隊編制
看看他自己出的拯救影片，如何用最簡單的裝備阻擋超量的盟軍圍攻而保持戰鬥力
I do love watching a good Roman Empire run, but I've yet to see anyone do it with the historical AI focus off.
I've done it. It Is basically the same because you need to do it quickly, so not much things changes in the global pollitical alliances. Unless you get really unlucky.
@@fele09 Yeah, I'm finally having some success even with the Historical AI off by following the advice in this video and being aggressive as quickly as possible. Makes me wonder how different the path is going to be in By Blood Alone with all the early game nerfs Italy's getting.
@@YoungNapoleon that exactly why I started trying to form the Roman empire, first on historial then non historical. I'm afraid it wouldnt ve that Easy. Check out the guide Made by efficientstrategygames, it Is almost the same, it may be helpful
You could have left Czechoslovakia entirely alone so it would be the leader of the allies instead of Canada. That way you don't need to walk all the way to Vancouver.
23:52 don't take anything from Czechs, just take everything else and leave them alone, hit done. Now they will automatically become the leader of the Allies, and not Canada, because the game considers them to be stronger than Canada. Then you can keep doing major/minor shenanigans in the peace deals without having to cap Canada somehow
Thank you for this video. I have had this game for over four years and yet to win with any country. Your guide has given me some new ideas to try! Lets hope I can try and win at least one game!
老天，你真是災難
It was not really Mussolini being incompetent, but more like the Entire Italian Army not being prepared for war and using either WW1 weapons or overly fragile/unreliable weapons. I’m looking at you Breda mod. 30.
9:14 Why didn't he just set a line through the Field Marshal in this case? Without holding shift, the line separates armies.
smooth ad transition
yeah record is late 1936 quite insane.
and you should have let the manpower update , it's always nice to see millions in the bank
He always walks “accidentaly” into Paris and London
yoooo ive wanted a new guide for this! thanks
‘Dammit I accidentally took Paris’
I think HoI4 devs should leave Italy focus tree untouched for the meme
who agrees bittersteel is hacking in real life so he can bypass ironman restrictions, please say E
I was born in the Ironman, molded by it! I did not see the console until I was already a man!
@@Bitt3rSteel well i am the opposite lmao i was born with console commands and didnt see ironman until i was 69 years old
Benito just needed a mustache in order to be competent
3:46 that “squadra navale” was too Italian ahahaha
The transition to the sponsor was SMOOTH!
Thanks from Italy
The issue with going superior firepower as italy is your army theorists only give -15% to grand battleplan or mobile, if you go superior firepower you're paying 100 for each doctrine instead of 85
You are awesome when you read italian names
Funny enough that’s actually the real expansion of the Roman Empire back in the antique pretty much
Paradox won't change italy's focus tree because why mess with perfection?
Ayy 1 minute ago, love your vids ♥
Oh it's the bald man, now with a leaf crow on it's head.
challenge: play as a released malta and take on the axis
Mussolini plan in 1936 to git gud, talking to he's generals: First we grind up Sebastiano Viscondi Prasca and we scrap two battleships...
I must Say that your italian pronunciation Is actually not bad good job man
i doubt anyone is having problems recreating this because it is a really sound strategy. but just in case i found you can set up 1 full army of 24 (9/1)on the French boarder and have the rest in reserve right behind the line. leave about 6 divisions in africa for encirclements only, 1 troop per tile on the bottom 2 and four on the top. encircle the African troops then retreat back to the lybian border and repeat. you do that to thin out the French lines on the main land. France will be bashing its head against your alpine lines going nowhere. just sit and wait, your troops and cas will demolish the french troops. the moment the french stop attacking the alpes you rush all your troops to the boarder and punch through the south like bitt3rsteel did.( you don't need to punch through the south because france will be so low on equipment but that's what i did) 'Roma Invicta'
Lacoon, 3 guys attacking by a snake ahahaha. Wonderful!
2:45 for the love of god and everything that is holy, hold shift and click artilery icon to pop production tab at the top instead of moving them every single time
9:02 But you already bypassed it?What were you meant to say?
Hi BitterSteel. I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if it was possible for you to make a video for Australia (the third emu war, Never Another Gallipoli and Australia-Hungary) or Canada (doing 1812 and Rule Britannica)
I will never be the kind of person who can min max HOI4 like this. But it's fun to watch!
Interesting change in strategy. I used your old guide method and it was still completely successful.
I swear, Bitt3r failed at holding France until ready, and then when he invades the UK, he does the exact same thing.
"oops" - Bitt3rsteel, 2022
@@Bitt3rSteel It's like...like going to the grocery store for just one specific thing, forgetting that one specific thing, going back, and forgetting a second time xD
You should employ speedrun tactics and do a full world conquest by end of 37.
All the Italian could ever say to the French is, Scusa! Scusa! Scusa!...
I did a world conquest as Italy with mass assault doctrine. I had never played Italy before and didn't even think about going for a world conquest. And I only have little over 700 hours in this game.
Italy is lowkey op as fuck
u couldve just liberated middle africa so world tension goes down
Fun fact prasca and Badoglio they where the responsble for greece
your Italian is perfect!!👌👌
YO I WAS JUST ABOUT TO WATCHA TUTORIAL FOR THIS
W VIDEO
Thousand week Rome
can you do the achievement we don't really like statistics? Love your vids
I have learned a lot from watching your videos bro. Thank you! Please do the Philippines next time.
I have a question: how can you restore these empire's because I don't know!
You are my favorite creater when it's coming to Hoi4 and I love your videos.
Keep doing it then you can make for very much peoples a smile on his face! 😄
And thanks for the answers
My first research in the extra slot was paratroops. Because...spam is good. Join Axis, fabricate on France as early as possible, churn out 12 1 bat paratroops, drop all norther vic points, and profit. You can drop from German airfields without calling in Germany.
yo how did you break so quickly around nice i did everything you did and struggled
how did you get your fleet to germany without having taking gibraltar or the suez canal?
He did it before war with uk
@@kalahomi1 i can see now, i wasnt paying attention
They should also include "Belgium into the legacy of Vergingetorix or Ambiorix" uniting the gallic tribes" (getting Belgium, netherlands, the rhineland, luxemburg, france, switserland and northern italy), Tunesia into restoration of the phoenician empire, the revenge hannibal (northern africa, spain, southern france, italy and coast of syria, lebanon and israel), austria into reunite the original hallstad cultures ( i know hallstad is in germany, but this gives austria something), conquer austria, southern germany, hungary, northern italy, france, belgium, luxemburg, Zwitserland, southern england, spain and portugal. Any other ancient er european things? :D
Man i love this game, i just suck at it!!
I have around 500 hours, I copied you exact but i could hardly break through southern france before UK join the race!!
Love your Videos!
Seems so easy :D
thanks for the video :D I do hope that they will give Belgium some love tho
love ur vids man
17:50 loifrjkcrh more manpower
I’ve been to Rome but unfortunately I had to cut my trip short
:(
Great! Now edit the save so you're playing as poland and save this.
Could have used shore bombardment as well just to make it easier.
Yes finally
Please do USA with no step back. One of the easiest countries, but would be interesting to see you to do something with it. :)
I tried to replay but the first clicks already show a problem: I can't release nations as puppets as you did. What's wrong?
Is that really necessary
I did that, and ngl I had a blast forming Rome
You should make a master class for hoi4
This is funny I have been for the last week been trying to do a Reform Rome and make the EU as Italy run it wasn't going well
Ive noticed this on a few of your videos now but most of the newer ones have a very noticable buzzing throughout the whole video and its quite distracting
Oh, really? I'll see what the issue might be
Much better way to do it:
Unless something changed no step back you don't have to take a tile, only fight a country to get them in pease deal. Do this instead: naval invade Canada from the tiny french island you took w a one betalion troop. Do the same to Australia and new Zealand. Put one in the French trade port in India and just invade the UK. You will get the UK, Canada, new Zealand, Australia, India, British Malaya, yougoslavia, Austria, Romania, and Czechoslovakia in one deal. Before you cap UK justify on south Africa (or a country in the Americas to take the us in a world conquest senario) and south Africa is now the leader of the allies and therefore a major, so you still get the quick war goals
New editor?
Good video as always, but you forgot to form the european union as italy
Does bitt3rsteel use all dlcs or just a few
All of them, baby
Very interesting. I tried doing something like this a month back. After several tries I decided the best option was to avoid a conflict with England and conquer everything you can before then. So I conquered the Balkans, Greece, Arabia, Austria, Switzerland, Iraq and others. Main problem at that point was that Germany absolutely sucked and had fallen off in 1941 by France. I tried supporting Japan but they surrendered because of a naval invasion and I had 500+ divisions lost in China. Needless to say, in the end it just became a stalemate and I could make no progress.
7:01
the virgin mussolini vs the chad marinetti...
Seriously how did Italy have that happen
i like the tutorial but i only have waking the tiger dlc so it dosent work as good for me
The first time I tried forming the Roman Empire took me until 1946
me, wondering when bittersteel is gonna post:
So sad that Italy still got a crappy almost standard focus tree while a ton of minors got amazing ones.
The standard one is better you can get more manpower going down the fascist path. There is nothing good about Italy's one
bitt3rsteel mussolini confirmed
I need no step back this dlc if I want to make Italy to Roma?
No
@@ЙованДобройевичь I know it I actually need waking the tiger
Needs more Comic Sans
Trickster is attacking from 3 sides 2 is ok
Can someone explain me again why didnt he captured London?

hi can you show us your final infantry template you use in this run? thanks great video
why not just use 2w paratroopers to cap france and keep your armies for the balkans and czechoslovakia at first?
mostly because its a giant meme and I really hate it
@@Bitt3rSteel Oh ahahahahah
I love the video, you always make the best guide. Also, why didn't paradox include Germany to form the roman empire? The border was on the rhine and the danube
Waiting for the Italian TNO mod
