6:10 You've generally got it right. AI strictly uses battle plans for land units (it also gets extremely messy 'cuz they field way too many armies), and in a situation like what Italy's in they're not gonna want to go on aggressive assault (too much defensive terrain to contend with for the amount of units and tech they have) which means units will never move forward in such a way as to jeopardize their flanks if they can help it.
When I say "field way too many armies" btw, I just mean they organize their divisions in an incredibly inefficient way, going so far as to assign only 1-4 divisions to an army, resulting in an exceptionally high amount of "armies" that often are leaderless. Although in late game they do end up fielding monstrous armies.
@@phoenixwright7802 I think it's because the AI can't comprehend separating army orders (the AI seems to only be able to handle one order per army) so every order they make must use an entirely new army. As a consequence, they also tend to not make army groups unless they can jam several full-sized armies onto a single frontline (e.g., Operation Barbarossa).
@Rotten I don't wanna put words in this guy's mouth but that's probably what he means. Technically, it would be possible but realistically it wouldn't be unless you are a physcopath.

Actually managed to hold the line without "Keeping the Chitet" so I could ditch the conscription law. Didn't even need the bonuses for swinging to the left. Maybe my Italy was just really dumb.
New patch droped today did some changes to war contribution; IC damage got nerfed 20%. Landlease got buffed a bit. Taking & occupying territory got buffed as well. Probably forgot something. Did you guys take a look at it yet? Cheers!
I dont understand the "unknown" casualties either, in my one game as USA i had a failed naval invasion get attacked by u-boats at sea and the infantry lost their naval escort and presumably died at sea bc they never landed but never came back and it showed an equal number of losses as "unknown" so perhaps it was Italians who died of attrition at sea before the invasion?
just pray the rng gods for italian ai to not bring tanks asap and secure somalia before they bring tanks, when you get somalia def eritrea and try to get the mercaneries eventually they will want peace.
6:15 fun fact, as italy, if you let one single tile undefended in somalia, the ethiopian ai will push for that tile, but then stop and not do anything else
I think going for the chitet is only good if u wanna do a short term campaign because at max u can get like 48 divisions, but expanding the mehal sefari is much better if u wanna do a long term campaign because you can actually edit the divisions.
I still have trouble to understand the game :D EU4... CK2 and 3... and so on... most of them you can learn by playing... but HOM4... this game just kills you and let you understand nothing from just playing it :P well most of it you will not get if you just start a round
your strat doesn't work, tried it 7 times doing exactly the same thing you did, italy kept breaking through the south no matter how many divisions i put there
Nah, sorry but this time I have to disagree with you. There are FAR easier way to win as Ethiopia without totally disrupting your country. With your strategy you'll find yourself too weak to then be a significant part of any faction you decide to go to war with. Yes, going with the Mesafints will strengthen your army, but at the same time will TOTALLY destroy any economy you currently have or plan to have. Once you go too left or too right, it's hard to rebalance the power, and you'll only be able to do that by doing the decision that basically cancels your stability. Sorry, but this strategy is a total L for both free gaming and achievements hunt
A, or a, is the first letter and the first vowel of the Latin alphabet,[1][2] used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is a (pronounced /ˈeɪ/), plural aes.[1] It is similar in shape to the Ancient Greek letter alpha, from which it derives.[3] The uppercase version consists of the two slanting sides of a triangle, crossed in the middle by a horizontal bar. The lowercase version can be written in two forms: the double-storey a and single-storey ɑ. The latter is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children, and is also found in italic type.

I tried this strategy step by step and they had pushed into both of these tiles by february 8th tho so i don't understand how this works

Impossible

@@dominikvalkai5698 That's exactly why I said I would fear that kind of a person. They'd have to be a time traveler. 56k is the current maximum.
@@Tommuli_Haudankaivaja So you're telling me there's a chance?
Off to HOIIV i goooo..
@@dominikvalkai5698 what if you have been playing in two computers at the same time since the game was released non-stop?

5 more years and someone could technically have 100k hours in Hoi4.

5% of the way there
lol he legit got naples at the end of the video as Ethiopia in the peace deal from Italy
21:30 As someone who has played over 1k hours as Tannu Tuva, I had not forgotten it.
well now go get some bitches

This doesn't work as of 07/08/2023, they will now cross the river gap.

I think it's a mix of attrition, accidents and stuff like that which is not directly from combat. Could also be partially from occupation resistance.
@@raippakeisari2342 could potentially be from occupational resistance, i didnt consider that.
Spent half the video screaming Adaptable! At the screen. So satisfying when Dave gets the double.

strat doesnt work anymore
Been using Taureor's strat for Ethiopia, will have to give this one a go
Where's the option where Italians use chemical weapons because they are losing/ not making expected progress... still amazed they did that.
Did they patch this already because for me they always push over that river in February
The PUBG Sponsor really worked i unlocked a messi bedroom
If you want the planning bonus without the ai moving your divisions, make a plan to defend Switzerland.
Unknown source of casualties is shipping accidents, right?
clearly the A.I doesn't think the Itialian army is worth any value contribution in war.
Sad that you got scammed by Matchmade... Hopefully it works out for you next time!
16:19 whats the mod for thumbs up icon???
shhh its a secret
I hated the balance of power mechanic
worked fine mostly but had an issue w the italians js not attacking me at all so I didnt get mountaineer or addaptable

Great stuff Dave!
why i dont have spirit of the army in my game?
Why not make your defensive line further north including Gondar and Aussa?
Italians have better supply closer to the port
I would only play pubg if it was cristiano ronaldo and not messi
u keep teaching me how bad i am at this game i have 400 hours and still suck
You are not alone in that
your strat doesn't work, tried it 7 times doing exactly the same thing you did, italy kept breaking through the south no matter how many divisions i put there
1:00 Literally just talking to Americans here lmao. Everyone in the rest of the world knows.
Finally HOI4
Breaking their entrenchment? What entrenchment, Ethiopia has massive entrenchment debuffs.
