Exactly
Nothing
"What do we do without trains"
I don't know, Alex. On an unrelated note, I wonder what a "railcrawler" is.
Couldn't possibly be related.
Surely the imperial archives aren't complete yet
Your trains were literally the 20-T RAILCRAWLER. You had them all along.
I was so annoyed by that.
"I think I may abandon Afghanistan"
Not the first. Not the last.
Afghanistan: Graveyard of the Empire
@@KonigHoff Nah not really. I mean it killed the Soviets but they were fucked already, Britain was fine after losing there, and the U.S. wasn't too badly affected by it surprisingly.
There’s always one guy who takes the joke to seriously lmao
@@Tom_Cruise_Missile I agree with you on the British, but a military defeat by a small Asian country did not help the Soviets (just like the Russo-Japanese War), and the US withdrawal may be a sign that our global dominance is fading faster than we had anticipated
@@KonigHoff I disagree. Vietnam, with the massive casualties and conscription sending kids to die in a godforsaken jungle, left a scar on this country that Afghanistan never did. And yet, we survived. I might have agreed with you that u.s. influence was going to decline, just as a natural consequence of the world becoming multipolar again, before the Ukraine War. Now look at the state of things. Russia, a traditional rival, brought to its fucking knees. Europe buying more gas from us than Russia! America has become the arsenal of democracy again and we've shown our shit is top tier. All the damage of the withdrawal to U.S. prestige, undone by the newfound unity of NATO and the other democracies of the world in the face of Russia.
Sad he didn’t experience the storm trooper democratic rebellion
"I think we have to abandon Afghanistan" Literality the graveyard of empires
I think the devs in this mod decided Kuwait to be the place for where you start because in Star Wars there is a planet called Kuat (Kuu-wat) which is a very important and prestigious ship manufacturing planet for the Empire
Kuat >>>>>>>>>>>>>> c*ruscant

game: "the atomic bombing of palestine"
alex: _what have i done_
and i thought things couldn't get worse in palestine.
The whistling the imperial theme snuck into the soundtrack is unironically one of my favorite parts of the mod.
I have no idea what the hell Alex did wrong to have the purposefully OP airforce being completely outmatched by shitty soviet fighter 1s...
I mean, i for sure wouldn't wanna fight a WW2 plane with a TIE Fighter...
@@asasas9146 Why not
@@battledroid8010 Because the TIE Fighter is arguably worse than a WW2 Fighter, or at least it does not have any clear advantage over it:
-For one the speed seem to be either slower or similar.
-It has worse maneubravility.
-Worse visibility thanks to huge wings and no radar whatsoever (just an aimer).
-And the muzzle velocity of his laser weapon is dramatically slower than in WW2 firearms, making it much harder to hit a Soviet plane, while the opposite is for said Soviet plane.
I wouldn't say it will necessarily be a slaughter, but the odds doesn't look good.
Wrong, the TIE Fighter is far better than a WW2 Fighter.
-For one the speed seem to be either slower or similar.
Nope, it isn't slower than a WW2 fighter. This is how fast your SW starfighter within the atmosphere of a planet.
th-cam.com/video/o9o0URlcb6o/w-d-xo.html
Compare this to a jet fighter.
th-cam.com/video/7gl1f6ia7o8/w-d-xo.html
It's obvious which is faster.
-It has worse maneubravility
That's wrong.
th-cam.com/video/DYJU3Po60zU/w-d-xo.html
Show me a WW2 fighter that had similar maneuverability as this one.
-Worse visibility thanks to huge wings and no radar whatsoever (just an aimer).
They do have radar. It just that all Imperial Starships including the smallest one-man fighters, incorporate sensor jamming equipment. According to SWICS, advanced TIE fighters employ sophisticated sensor suites that "must overcome the extremely powerful jamming signals used by all combat craft". The Death Star also employed "hundreds of Kuat Drive Yards 220-SIG tactical jammers" that prevented the attacking X-Wings from being able to use their onboard sensors (ref. SWEGWT). And of course, the Imperial fleet broadcast so much sensor interference during the Battle of Endor that the Rebel fleet was unable to determine whether the DS2 shield was up or down until they destroyed the fleet's primary communications ship (ref. ROTJ novelization). This is why high-powered jammers inevitably reduce combat ranges to visual sighting ranges; it is impossible to target ships at long range through a blanket of white noise, but a combination of sensor targeting and manual control can be more effective at close range.
-And the muzzle velocity of his laser weapon is dramatically slower than in WW2 firearms, making it much harder to hit a Soviet plane, while the opposite is for said Soviet plane.
Nope, even a mere laser cannon is far faster than anything that WW2 weaponry possess. A blaster bolt is pretty fast. There's the battle of Ringo Vinda from TCW:
th-cam.com/video/BVupe2gC2FA/w-d-xo.html
At this particular timeframe, you could clearly see that the blaster bolts are even way more faster than the starfighters. Furthermore, it should be noted that starships in atmosphere are capable of moving speeds such as this:
th-cam.com/video/o9o0URlcb6o/w-d-xo.html
Compare this to a Jet Fighter.
th-cam.com/video/7gl1f6ia7o8/w-d-xo.html
There are many other examples such as the Battle of Teth, Battle of Geonosis, Battle of Kashyyyk, and many other such situations. In which we do see blaster bolts going faster than the number that you had listed.
Battle of Teth: th-cam.com/video/HwHVsWSJmv4/w-d-xo.html
You can see at the beginning itself, blaster bolts from B1 droid carbines and Clone Trooper rifles travelling several hundred metres down/up the cliff face in an instant.
Battle of Geonisis: th-cam.com/video/W7oFYfxWsFg/w-d-xo.html
From 1:10 onward you can see Clone Troopers and battle droids exchange small arms fire across a vast distance. Those core ships on the far side are 696 metres in diameter. You can get the distance using them as a reference. There is another such scene 2:18 onward, where you can see Clone small arms fire traversing a vast distance of several hundred metres (or more) in an instant.
Battle of Kashyyyk: th-cam.com/video/cRrMP2qY96I/w-d-xo.html
In the last half minute (1:50), there is a scene where Clone Troopers in a Wroshyr tree can be seen firing at advancing CIS forces in the water. You can clearly see their blaster bolts travelling hundreds of metres instantly.
A laser cannon would be faster than your blaster bolt.
A Star Wars military starfighter would destroy and annihilate every single type of WW2 fighters with such utter ease by the facts that I had presented.
@@asasas9146 that's because a Soviet plane is made for atmospheric combat while the tie fighter isn't.
As a Kuwaiti myself. I'am utterly confused why the empire colonized my homeland.
The answer is "OIL"
Same
Because you exist only because of colonizers
Yes.
In Star Wars the planet Kuat is one of the top ship building planets in the Empire, I assume it is a nod to that.
one of my most favourite mod. It adds alot of content without breaking the AI. The focus tree takes quite a bit of time but is never boring since you always have something to do.
Only problem is Germany often steals the show.
as it should, this is a ww2 game first and foremost.
@@cr90captain89 not if you use a mod to purposefully to change it up
@@valentinotto88 mods are only possible because it (the game) exists, sad truth is that games can exist without mods, but mods cannot exist without games.
its a parasite in a way, while i would love to call mods anything but this, there are no other words that perfectly describe it.
trust me i hate calling mods parasites, it makes me die a little more each time, but its the sad factual truth.
but mods are not a bad thing, I'm just presenting facts that i find depressing.
@@cr90captain89 mods are not parasites, by definition they are symbiotes. They require a host but both entities have something to gain from the partnership. A parasite just leeches of the host and does nothing.
Either way, you're reading WAY too much into mods lol
@@The_Lunch_Man symbiotes are by definition parasites, the fact they have to leech off of another organism at all is all the proof needed. the venom movie even says as much.
just because its beneficial to its host does not mean its not parasitic by nature, this argument is so astronomically stupid.
its like trying to claim that wolves & dogs are not related/ not canines, it's a stupid & dumbass reasoning.
I like that the storm troopers are just as useless in combat as in the movies
They're really only useless in _Return of the Jedi._ In _A New Hope_ and _The Empire Strikes Back,_ they outperform non-named Rebel soldiers in combat. Examples being the boarding of Tantive IV and the assault on Echo Base. They are also pretty competent in recent books and comics. It's only Episode VI and shows like Star Wars: Rebels that makes them look like fools.
@@DovahFett
Someone who had actually paid attention. Stormtroopers are pretty competent soldiers. There's a video that did justice for the stormtroopers.
th-cam.com/video/P2TA9coGLzM/w-d-xo.html
@@DovahFett it was an inside joke from george lucas that stormtroopers can`t hit anything.
just an inside joke, disney just didn`t understand that joke and made them worse.
but even in the movies episode 4 obi wan stated that stormtroopers are very effective.
like i said it was just an inside joke, not a really a thing.
stormtroopers infact are very deadly and even better than clones where.
people just don`t understand that in the movies if they where shown that they can hit very well the movies would never happend, because the empire would win every battle easily and kill every hero.
even tie fighters are not that bad either they are outperform everything the rebellion has, but like before it can´t be shown because so no story would have happend.
I do love whenever Alex says “why can I not beat them” meanwhile you take a look at the supplies of his units and they are all yellow or red.
Without having pressed the button that makes it so that his armies will stop getting supplies with horses
A good thing to do is when you cannot push press f4 NOT alt-f4 since f4 is the supply map so you can see where you have shit supplies, and also use trucks instead of horses for transporting supplies from the supply hubs.
There is a button on the field marshal (and any army but that is not as important) in the top left where it shows a horse if you click on that it turns into a truck and if you click again it turns into a double truck icon, which means that they will use extra trucks (which is not much) to get supplies and supply hubs will work in an increased distance.
The supply hubs also have this button but then you would have to micro a lot more since pressing the button on the field marshal makes it so that all the armies will get supplies with double trucks instead of horses
Wait… that’s an option?!? Good god now I see why all of the beginner tutorials to HOI4 are the length of an episode of a streaming service’s original show, except with more episodes overall.
Like, seriously this info is really obscure and I had no idea that this feature existed
Getting stuck in the desert, definitively one of vader's worst nightmares
Alex’s Tai fighter impression is life 🙌🏻
my dude your trains are already on the screen 12:08 the "Railway Crawler". No need to switch tech
Worry not Alex, I’m working on the Star Wars models NOW
I love that darth Vader is kinda reviving the Persian empire
I love how the Darth Vader edit in the thumbnail makes you look like DARK HELMET
6:24 "Just conquering another kind of cavemen" type of whistle lmao
OH MY GOD! This mod was the first video I watched of Alex the Rambler and he's returned to it! I have wished of this day for awhile.
I keep imagining the Mujahideen fighting the Galactic Empire in Afghanistan
Alex should try the new Redux version of this mod which adds quite a bunch of new content to the Empire…and two little other ones
i remember when this first video came out and i was like "a darth vader mod finally and being played by alex" during then i was rewatching all the star wars shows and movies.
Great video, I'm downloading the mod now!
I love this, I had just picked up this mod again myself
You should try out the Executor Redux mod. Adds a whole lot to the original concept, though part of it is WIP.
You should try the game Star Wars Empire At War, more specifically the mod Thrawn's Revenge. It's a lot like the Palpatine's Gamble mod.
Yeah, it's depressing PG hasn't received an update in a while...
Did you know that a redux version of the mod just came out?
We don’t have trains!
The t-20 railcrawler: guess i don’t exist
So you killed not just the Yemen but the Yewomen and the Yechildren too?
I know this pun is bad I'll see myself out.
12:08 right there, the rail crawler
Hey btw if you haven't heard, Equestria recently did an update, new continent with focus trees and everything.
I don't really like star wars but I still want to play this mod. Seems very funny
I think you should try this one again and capitulate the allies
>Empire lands on strange unknown planet.
>First thing to do is conquer it.
Just was looking at this mod looked meh but apparently it really has depth. Thanks Alex!
the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
You are the best of what I have seen of the game I have watched it for 1year
Darth Rambler, do you have any comment on the NEW Empire's recent successes?
LOOK! A TIE Fighter! WHEEEEEE!
This is the first video i've ever watched on this channel, so i've got a question. Who is Matt?
Bloody brilliant
All this love to matt is making Alex go a bit ... matt
Playing this vader bê like:i'm altering the history,pray i dont alter It any further
You don’t need to fight Yemen, once you have enough fielded manpower you get the option to intimidate and you’ll just annex them. Also you can research the trains, you don’t need to swap to vanilla tech
"SnowStroopers" - Alex The Rambler
Alex being ratio by Matt 😂😭 0:27
Aaah, yes. The Empire, the true rightful owner of Jerusalem.
Imperator vult
Stormtroopers: *On earth* George Lucas: *makes Star Wars.* Stormtroopers: *reveal themselves.* George Lucas: *sweating af*
Did you know someone made WW2 art but with star wars stuff in it? For the Empire.
someone just made a redux for the mod..so now there is a even better version
Me: Ah, I'm board of Hoi4, I'm gonna stop playing...
Alextherambler: Hold my beer...
Also I didn't evetr think that I would see darth Vader.... On Earth 1930s....
The earth should a really strange planet for them, I mean it´s a planet with more than an unique biome
At least Kadyrov is not going to exist in this earth
Yemen is notoriously hard to invade in Hoi4
should have turned on player-led peace conferences because vader would have just used the force on the other leaders in the room
It's funny because Iraqi Fedayeen soldier did use Darth Vader helmet.
When ever I play the Executer mod it crashes when I look at the industrty part of the focuses for the Empire.
As a Kuwaiti, I don’t know if I should feel honored or horrified about Kuwait being the platform for the Empire to begin the conquest of the planet.
Alex also plays Star Wars Rebellion board game? Chad
It's one of my favorites, probably played at least 30 games of it. So good.
As a resident of Tbilisi, I don't support nuking from The Empire, good day to you sir.
Bruh imagine they made the Star Wars Executor Mod in the modern day mod of HOI4.
This mods still alive?
Damn now I feel bad for leaving the dev team.
Wot? '_'
Epic video!!! I thought this was a cool mod the first time i saw it, and it’s still really amazing.
There should have been a Darth Horthy
Fun Fact: Modern armies would pretty much wipe the floor with the Empire (that is, excluding the whole spaceship thing or The Death Star.)
Not only that, but TIE fighters are laughably slow.
💩💩💩
Its weird as you release this, the mod gets a redux version.
Well considering at one time it was cannon that say, an X-Wing and a TIE Fighter had top speeds of 100 km per hour... yeah, they're actually WORSE than WW1 era Biplanes. Not to mention their aerodynamics being worse.
Now later sources would realize they fudged up and start changing that. But yeah.
yeah but from what i can find now tie fighters top speed is around 1200 kph which is pretty fast for its not very aerodynamical shape
The British will reverse engineer the E-11. While unable to produce blaster bolts they find the over all design could work for an open bolt submachine gun.
If da empire entered earth I will do a crusade against them only on earth
i wish millenium dawn was updated like this mod was updated..
Oh shit it's Matt's friend. Cool I guess
😂😂
I hate it when people say @-@s. It‘s obviously Ey-Tea-Ey-Tea.
I think their is New redux mod out for this
"Socialism...Darth Vaders biggest weakness." LMAO! That's a good one :D
Love this mod!
Hi matt!
Isn't the stormtrooper's standard armor not able to really protect from bullets? I know regular guns in the Star Wars universe, but aren't very common.
they are able too protect the stormtrooper from anything we have. there armor is not as bad like the movies shows, they are more effective than most think. but remember anything you see in the movies happends because the plot demands it.
in legend books and others you can see that stormtroppers armor aare very effective against anything.
and remember in the george lucas movies it was an inside joke that the stormtroopers can`t hit anything or that there armor is useless against anything. they are not they wear the armor because it is very protective and they can hit targets very well. but it can`t be shown in movies because so the empire would easily defeat anything.
Shame we can't choose where they land that would be interesting
Indeed you are powerful, as the Emperor has forseen.
Its hard to believe, but stormtroopers would be really OP here. Pretty much infinite ammo, so supply would be much easier, plus stormtrooper armor in the lore is pretty much impervious to conventional small arms, called "slugthrowers" in star wars.
Finally my country kuwait bieng something
lmao hey hoh lets go folklore se rock and roll
Moreeee!!!
Episode 2 when???
A world where Epic Rap Battles of History didn’t have to act out darth Vader vs adolf hitler
Can you possibly make longer videos, like for an hour
Hi Matt!
Hi Paul!
Jesus wept 😂😂
Ah yes, the historical events of WWII in which Germany didn’t have a battle of Stalingrad, Hitler wasn’t arrogant with his tactics (rerouted and made taking Stalingrad harder for himself) and Darth Vader stopped socialism from being achieved with an army of stormtroopers
i’m always stuck on 0 manpower with this mod how do i stop that
Love a fun callback video.
Wow
Hey matt!
Hey!
play palpatines gamble mod
