I forgot to add the files to my drive. I'm currently at the hospital with my youngest and I won't be able to upload the files until we get home. I'm sorry, I'll sort it out later. For now, I recommend you check @antasil for the strategy
I think the Turkish tree has been patched. All the Create/Join faction focuses under Reconfigure Foreign policy branch have a "Bypass if in Faction" line added. So they should not complete these focuses
That cliffhanger just hurts man. But now really want to do that Bulgaria run before the new DLC comes out - because I imagine a good Finland winter war run with mottis will be difficult to resist then.
Awesome as ever ^^ hyped to see how you will save the day ! Also I love when it's not just full annexation everywhere :-) Make more sense to not make entire countries disapear like that wich IA in peace treaties be less greedy
If my ally is going to capitulate like Poland might I'd usually put a line of troops on the rail lines I need and on ports so those tiles don't flip and the enemy can't move troops in, then let the enemy capitulate them. Then you can keep holding your line and use a couple divisions on garrison to retake the area behind you and you don't need to worry about the land flipping again while the country is already capitulated.
Bulgaria is a country I wish I could play well, but I just hate playing it. Somehow every time I play Bulgaria the world goes apeshit and I end up at war with everyone.
The Bulgarian tree is so broken it's funny 😂 Although I've got to say I hadn't noticed that strategy before. Definitely the strongest and best worked on in BTFB
Oh, this video is actually from today. I tended to see videos from years ago, now having to wait how develops... this feels like when I watched series as a kid in the tv: I had to wait, and that sucks xD
If i remember correctly, combining the Zveno and NatSoc to get the "Integrate the Ratniks" focus gives you +500 manpower per week in addition to recruitable pop. Combine with Prussia of the Balkans for 145% recruitable pop calculators.
Cant believe pdx still hasnt fixed the greeks and turkish focus trees. Like seriously ? It takes literally 14 lines of code and 8 minutes to do that. I know because I modded it myself. Just hotfix it ffs, they really need a custodian team. And the fact that puppets ultimatum dont get sent to their overlord, like for Bessarabia or Albania. Or Yugo in this video as well. For real this would take 1 day of work with 1 dude on it to fix it all.
This is the standard that the fanbase set for them, it’s impossible to change that now. Not that the majority of people on things like the forums care, hell, most of them think paradox should go harder on DLC rather than fixes or base game shit
Paradox only cares about their Almighty focusses because obviously that’s why people play video games (or rp,) to let a focus tree automatically play out. Yes, very interesting. 💤
I think they fixed Historical Turkey going rogue while a puppet. I recall seeing that in an update and was able to have them as an puppet as Stalin without them breaking.
Small countries concentrated big counties dispersed unless u go air heavy then always concentrated by 1939 u get that 15% bonus to production really helps small nations but i think mostly depends if you go air or aa heavy and the enemy u face
1:00 a year late seeing this again, wanted to note that I thought there was suicide problem spirit for the army somewhere because of you using the word "unfortunate" before it
Its really nice to see you playing as my fav nation of whole hoi4. If I could recommend, you could get after Hungary also Czechoslovakia so Germany is even more weaker. Then you just hold Slovakia and they´re unable to push threw the mountains. Its just funny thing to see they´re offensive crushing there against your units and in the meanwhile you destroy german units in Poland :) Alsoo you can try to hold Czech lands, make a push and encyrcle all units in Poland. But its almost unable to do (I achieved it once i 7 games so its pretty frustrating :) but the feeling of getting 60 german units encyrcled in 1939 is just the best)
In all my play through a Bulgaria gets blitzkrieged burned pillaged and set to brutal oppression because of the time they sent me a request for some territory I had 15 times a minute
yooooo for concentrated industry it’s really only better if you go past 1944 for the boosted factory output. So unless you’re going for a long game like world dom it’s usually worse
For Bulgaria it is best to pick Concentrated Industry cause your economic national spirits have efficiency growth. So it is almost as grabbing both economic techs at the same time.
I would argue going for the "Restrained Paramilitary Organizations" than the "Ban Far-Right Organizations" as it gives 500 weekly manpower which is strong early game for Bulgaria. Love the vid tho
Dispersed is good for all the majors and if you want to play a long game whereas Concentrated is better for minors & small nations who start out in a very handicapped spot, such as Bulgaria, Spain, Netherlands etc.
Watching this video as someone whose extensively played Fascist Fate of the Balkans Bulgaria has certainly been interesting since I am quite familiar with Bulgaria. For example, at 3:02 you mention about the worrys of Zveno staging a coup, but I can tell you from experience that it is pretty much impossible to have them coup you. I crush the socialists first, then integrate Nationail socialist movement, then Agrarian Union, then Zveno. When you're about a third of the way to fixing Zveno the coup timer may pop up, but every time you do another decision supporting the Zveno the coup timer gets extra days added to it, making it impossible for it to fire unless you want the coup to happen. I dont crush NSM because I want the advisor, I don't crush Agrarian union because I also want the advisor (sometimes- the NSM is superior obviously for -5% consumer goods)
OK, so there is a unique thing that you or your editor do where you quietly start outro music ahead of the end of the video which is weirdly eerie if the video doesn't seem to be coming to an actual end. I've noticed it before but this time the end wasn't even an end...it felt more like the end of Empire Strikes Back, where things are on a cliff hanger...
18:34 not sure if something changed, but immediately banning fascism after the event made it disappear entirely for me. Could have been bc I had 100% non aligned support
When your playing Bulgaria and Italy gives you that national spirit. You're gonna want to ban fascism when they give it to you, not before, right as they do it. It will remove that national spirit so you don't have to worry about it.

We can and will wait

Take care and all the time you need 😊
All the best to you and your family
Bittersteel has got to be one of the reason most people here got hoi4, he has teached me so much, gotta love him
Me too
Same!
GIVE US THE RAT
@@destore3299Wrong channel
Personally, anything i learned about hoi4 was just by watching him play.
I like how at first he hovered over the Soviet Union 😂
Yeah
Love these Saturday morning releases . Feels like Saturday morning cartoons for Dad's.
Glad you like them!

It would still mess you up if they are your puppet but not in a faction though
Yeah it has been fixed
2 minutes in and I'm already reminded why I love your vids; the 25pp with spies is something I do almost all runs :)
I never knew that is it from just putting a spy in administration?
That cliffhanger just hurts man. But now really want to do that Bulgaria run before the new DLC comes out - because I imagine a good Finland winter war run with mottis will be difficult to resist then.

Nice trick I will use it in the future.
Gotta say. Bulgaria had alot of wasted potential in our real history.
Edit : Woah that’s a lot of likes.
As a bulgarian i can agree
As an Iranian fan of Bulgaria, i agree
As a Bulgarian I too agree
If only serbia didnt get greedy and let them have had macedonia, could have been the 2 brothers and helped instead of destroying each other
I agree with that
Bulgaria is a country I wish I could play well, but I just hate playing it. Somehow every time I play Bulgaria the world goes apeshit and I end up at war with everyone.
REAL
Love the videos where bittersteel doesn’t do a challenge or mod or anything, but is just chilling and playing the game
The Bulgarian tree is so broken it's funny 😂 Although I've got to say I hadn't noticed that strategy before. Definitely the strongest and best worked on in BTFB
Oh, this video is actually from today. I tended to see videos from years ago, now having to wait how develops... this feels like when I watched series as a kid in the tv: I had to wait, and that sucks xD
Pretty much half of all my hoi4 knowledge came from you, thanks.

They're too busy pumping out dlcs to actually fix bugs in this game lmfao
Just like the guy said, they need that dlc cash

You taught me so much about hoi4 and even introduced me to it! Thank you!!!
Glad I could help!

Great video! I learned how to play HOI4 from Bittersteel and Mordrid Viking. Keep up the good work
Making his own disaster save
I love it
As a Bulgaria Stan, I appreciate this
Thumbnail Bulgaria looking devious
Small countries concentrated big counties dispersed unless u go air heavy then always concentrated by 1939 u get that 15% bonus to production really helps small nations but i think mostly depends if you go air or aa heavy and the enemy u face
As a Bulgarian I really appreciate this
Great video! Thanks for making my Saturday a little better.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're in for a colossal task and wish you the Best of luck!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Who else thought Poland was just gonna cap and get his entire army encircled and he was just gonna end the run there because of the outro music?
Me lol
1:00 a year late seeing this again, wanted to note that I thought there was suicide problem spirit for the army somewhere because of you using the word "unfortunate" before it
I usually pick concentrated if I'm fighting the axis and dispersed if I'm fighing the allies bc of the better defense against bombs
No one is more entertaining than this man
Thanks for the video! I haven't watched any HOI4 content in a while due to RL stuff, but this vid has definitely been a pleasure to watch
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Bitt3rSteelWhere is the doc for the focuses and research things that you said were in the description? I can’t find them
@Bitt3rSteel I have heard on another channel, that one Infanterie-Template is faster to train than one Cavalary-Template.
It's true, but the cave double as a garrison template
17:35 ah yes me and the bois about make it into the world stage ✊🗿🇦🇱🇧🇦🇧🇬🇬🇷🇭🇷🇭🇺🇲🇩🇲🇪🇲🇰🇷🇴🇷🇸🇸🇮🇹🇷🇮🇹
Big props to the editor, they’re right on with the memes and their frequency
Bitt3rSteel earlier in the vid: Should be fine
Bitt3rSteel at the end of the vid: Oh god why

That thumbnail gonna piss off a lot of people
Please do more videos with Bulgaria
In all my play through a Bulgaria gets blitzkrieged burned pillaged and set to brutal oppression because of the time they sent me a request for some territory I had 15 times a minute
The crap the end of the video literally became a disaster save for Bitter
Bittersteel spoiling us with a two-parter
Imagine using this strat to make everyone deal with another major which is defended by puppets and endless mountains😂
My home country. Thank you for playing it!
Was watching this while did world conquest with fascist Bulgaria , by far my favorite play !
yooooo for concentrated industry it’s really only better if you go past 1944 for the boosted factory output. So unless you’re going for a long game like world dom it’s usually worse
New challenge: Do a world conquest as Zar Boris III. of Bulgaria for his honor!!!
For Bulgaria it is best to pick Concentrated Industry cause your economic national spirits have efficiency growth.
So it is almost as grabbing both economic techs at the same time.
Keep up the good work!
nice video
Dang, i thought you were gonna re-play ww1 mod bulgaria, but even tho this is gonna be a great video!
Great video again like always but just a little thing: if you ban fasclsm after you get the italian influence the influence will disappear 😁
No Left, No Right, only King. Very fair and balans.
I would argue going for the "Restrained Paramilitary Organizations" than the "Ban Far-Right Organizations" as it gives 500 weekly manpower which is strong early game for Bulgaria.
Love the vid tho
Dispersed is good for all the majors and if you want to play a long game whereas Concentrated is better for minors & small nations who start out in a very handicapped spot, such as Bulgaria, Spain, Netherlands etc.
If you ever do mods, do rt56 base game. It’s broke AF if a minor has a civil war they’re either stuck in a perpetual conflict or the old regime wins
Mom wake up bitt3rsteal uploaded 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Our Independence Day (independence from the Ottomans) was just on the 22nd. You missed the Bulgaria upload being thematic by one day :D
"We need Boris' dad energy... So we brought Boris' dad" lmaooo
As major power I always go for concentrated industry. But as minor, or just smaller nation I pick the other one…
5:53 too real

I dont crush NSM because I want the advisor, I don't crush Agrarian union because I also want the advisor (sometimes- the NSM is superior obviously for -5% consumer goods)
I love then someone plays my country on a video
I would love the next video to be just 5 seconds long and it being a still picture of a German occupied Bulgaria
Bro :(
@@Bitt3rSteel 😂😂
The Bulg is my favorite minor nation. You can clearly see the inspiration behind the soviets design tree.
Maybe you should have built some armor, to crush the pocket faster.
OK, so there is a unique thing that you or your editor do where you quietly start outro music ahead of the end of the video which is weirdly eerie if the video doesn't seem to be coming to an actual end.

Im an always concentrated no matter what guy, theyre one of the few options in the game with no real right answere, pick what ya like
tfw you save a disaster save of your own making.
Love your vids keep up the good work and I am sure the members will lead you to victory!#
What a cliffhanger ending! Can't wait for the next one!
There’s a Sabaton song somewhere in this video
i wonder when will he revive rhodesia, the land of free and fair and defend it just like how the god emperor defends the mankind
17:35 ah yes Ferdinand I's hopes and dreams 🗿👌 😎👍 💀✊
Damn that cliffhanger :D
W intro
He has delivered!
18:34 not sure if something changed, but immediately banning fascism after the event made it disappear entirely for me. Could have been bc I had 100% non aligned support
Aaah yes. Bulgaria. Got chunk by the Balkans, but they are still alive.
bittersteels 4d chess, now he makes his own disaster saves
My biggest achievement in nearly 2000 hours is learning how the navy works☠️
You should collaborate with ISP
Ottoman Empire or Bulgaria, who’s better?
Hey bitterstreel, how did you come up with the logo for your channel?
If you focus on air then you should get concentrated industry as you shouldn’t be bombed hopefully
Any video on Bulgaria is a W video
One hour ago I`m done WC as Ferdinand. Bulgaria STRONK!
Rush to Danzig, looks very doable and it will keep poland from capitulating
When your playing Bulgaria and Italy gives you that national spirit. You're gonna want to ban fascism when they give it to you, not before, right as they do it. It will remove that national spirit so you don't have to worry about it.
Damn thanks
if Italy starts losing, and you get the civil war, you get a free italian puppet as the faction leader
Mein Fuhrer we have reports that Bulgarian soldiers are in Poland and slowly marching into Berlin

@Bitt3rSteel Hungary is not part of the Balkans. The northern border of the Balkans are the Sava and Danube rivers.
Not anymore!
Yeaaa that is my boy!!!
