To be ownest, i was a little bored when you first justifayed against Italy with abuse and then France, as this is the ultimate standard tactik. But then you showed the new systems with faction members etc and i was really impressed. Video well done, intelligent humour, love for details ❤

Great job done. It tooks me days with micromanagement to do world conquest and I did not know the tricks with Russia and did not make 66 with italy so I finished in 38. I'm impressed by the "exploits" and rational justification of your choices.
Thank you! And '38 World Conquest is awesome! I really enjoyed all your comments. It's part of the reason why I make videos in the first place: I want to improve!
@@m3an You showed many things that I had no idea about. I'm really impressed. It is hard to add anything that you did not mentioned. I do not know if you showed in other videos but if you find it usable you may consider: 1. Using 1 battalion truck units in order to run into soviets fast. When the oil ends up, you may convert them into 1 battalion cavallary. I did many times use it from Iran territory through Kazahstan or via naval invasion in Donbas area. 10 fighters are enough in Kazakhstan region to have aerial superiority and some transport to open soviet soft belly. Soviet AI will relocate and starve soviets units in Asia while making western border even thinner. 2. Attacking USA from Bahamas is great but the walk though USA to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego takes time. You may consider additional naval invasion in Texas with 2/3 1batatiln trucks. In order to capitulate USA faster you may consider naval invasion on Panama and then next hop from Panama to San Francisco and other ports on western coast with high VP. This was faster than going down from Vancouver along coast or going from Texas. 1 batalion truks in USA really do the Blizkrieg. 3. In the past there was an event that Mexico was joining allies but it was rare event as you had to have over 40 submarines in the Mexico gulf and unrestricted submarine war - saved 25 days 4. There was as well nasty trick to circle Moscow or other capital with paradrops and cut off supply. 5. As Japan I used Ethiopia to station some units which were then used to go to Madagascar and do naval invasion on South Africa faster. The same was with tiny island of Saint Piere and Miquelon (just under Newfundland). Naval invasion of 1 batalion on Summerside island guaranted Canada surrender. 6. As Japan you may plan some small 1 unit invasion from Rabaul on New Zeeland and Australia (e.g. port Moresby) or Singapore and India. The unit will be probably lost but it was required to have them into the conference faster. 7. While attacking Netherlands I waited until Indonesia joins and then did one naval invasion to have it as a puppet in order to have 1M manpower. 8. In order to save justification time as a Germany I invited all fascist countries in America to faction then make them join war (they will do so if you attack usa and cuba, panama, Brasil and some other in middle or south America) and then kick them out of the faction. As they were at war they usually quickly joined Japan and there was 4 countries less to justify against when you justify on Japan later. 9. I did parallel justification. 1st justification on neutral country -25 days and in the same time justification on major country at war with somebody else (Japan, china, Italy, Russia, usually 10 days but if a second county than it was 20 but it was a second parallel justification to the 25 days of neutral one). 10. I did grab some land from Sweden as a major but left some major provinces. Sweden was still fraction leader and guaranteed other countries while being easy picking. 11. Forcing allied nations (not participating in the war) to transfer you equipment via lend lease by creating artificial deficit of trucks, planes, tanks, guns, infantry equipment etc. You may create big deficit by creating new division with lowest priority then ask for lend lease while beeing at war and then erase them when lend lease is delivered. It is time consuming but as you may see storages of your allied nations or your subjects you may grab majority of their surplus equipment.
@Mariusz Wojcik Wow! Many great points that you make. Thank you! I'll save those and see if I can use them in my Italy WC run. I'm busy with my kids today, but will reply again this evening to give some feedback on all the points you listed. Really great stuff!
I know that is micro management (i like it) and I do not know if it still working with new patches but in the past: 1. In order to speed up paradrops I splitted paradrops into separate airfields with 1 transport plane each. Then plan separate paradrops from each airfields in the same time. It helped me with paradrops on France or England as Germany or Japan when a air superiority time window is very short. 2. I trained air force in order to have better air superiority in early war period. In order not to lose many planes I split air division into multiple 2-3 planes divisions and then train them all. Barely no planes were lost. 3. In order to pump army in the field I trained 1 battalion infantry units then send them in various distant location while converting them into regular ones. 4. As Germany I sent lend lease to commies (or sending them as well expedition forces - it worked on at the tiny timeslot when Spanish civil work start) thus making nationalist suffers it push them to join Germany faction then joining the war on nationalist side but not support them at all. As doing so the commies were joining allies. With allies, commies overrun Spanish nationalist and finished civil war, then disbanding some units while being in war with Germany as being allied. Then finishing allies allowed to take whole Spain without justifying. 5. I did train navy in order to have more experienced ships and smaller population losses and gain naval XP. Some minmax which do not speed up word conquest but might be interesting. 6. In order to safe partially constructed ships for “future better times” and not delete them I trained navy in area where there was attrition or naval accidents. Giving them 1 shipyard each and making a large unfilled production line above you may transfer shipyards from these 1 shipyard’s ships queues into desired ones (submarine or transport) without deleting the queues that may be completed later (I like ships 😊 and do not like wasting ship hulls already constructed). You can do it by starting repairing and stopping and restarting repair of any damaged ship. 7. It was a real challenge to combat both German and Russian socialist terror states in the same time while keeping allied human losses as low as possible. Allied may beat both German and Soviet after fighting each other -As Allied it was good to do the early naval invasion in Libya at the back of the Italian forces and cut them out of the supply. It worked not as well as in real WWII British operation Compass where British captured 130k Italians POW with 30k own forces loosing only 500 men and was probably the best blitzkrieg in WWII but brilliant O’Connor is rather unknown general. th-cam.com/video/b71kdhj27rk/w-d-xo.html After securing Libya it is good to allow Italians keep ports on Indian ocean in Somalia while having long border in Ethiopia. Germany and Italy will send land units around the Spain and Africa by sea thus allowing allies to sunk hundreds of ships with transported units and equipment close to Spain and Morroco. Some recon planes in Gibraltar on at saint Helen as well Cape town are helpful. Allies may sunk hundreds of thousands of Germany and Italy infantry without combatting them on land and without suffering any losses (except some submarines). As in the reality soviets were ally of their German socialist brothers in 39-41 I treat them as enemies of the West and bleed before German attack. As allied I did guarantee Finland in order to grab Murmansk and allow commies to starve to death their own units trying to take it back while cutting their supply lines and making them to attack on icy low infrastructure areas.
Just found you on YT. Wonderful explanation! Detailed enough en not boring for people in the know., but that aren't up to date with the speed running strats.
great video, well done!!! I've been trying to do the same thing as you for a few days now, but the air superiority in France means I have to do it again and again, it's a pain in the arse!
@@m3an Thank you very much, and thank you for your reply. I'm starting from scratch each time, and France beats me every time! I don't think I should put planes in Italy, just transport planes.
I just started playing HoI4 (I have 3h of playtime) and I didn't understand much of the decisions/movements/clicks/etc, but this was highly entertaining, saw the whole thing!
7 years after the games' release, Paradox still haven't fixed the AI's incapability to deal with naval landings or paratroopers but instead they spent god knows how many man hours and effort making the whole bureaucratic declare war system nonsense as convoluted as possible.
Absolutely INSANE. My biggest question is with all DLC, AAT included, how does this effect the timeline? My biggest hurdle is getting the Transport planes by the time you do and still not having them when I cap Italy.
Very Interesting. I am speedrunning in 1.6.2 because of mutual research exploit, but I might switch to 1.12 after paradox turned this mechanic off. I normally have to rely on RNG on canada sending division to generate warscore, or send troops to canada as germany (as japan, I would war-dec on philipines to invade US through alaska and west coast)
One thing I‘ve been wondering for a while now, is it possible to do a World Conquest speedrun as the USA? I mean I am aware of the Naval treaty mechanics and the homeland defense decision. So quitting the Naval treaties and get declared war on by Uk, France, Italy and Japan at the same time in 36 requires a lot of skill, combined with Homeland defense its possible to win tho. However how to proceed afterwards? Anyone got ideas?
people saying they got it by 1944, im in like 1946 as japan and have all of asia, europe and russia. no americas. idk how u do it. also any good template designs? i use base game and just upgrade then to newer tech as it goes on
Ayo for the cheese on Italy, this is for a complete separate run. Can I justify on their puppet and still be able to use the stay in their country method?
how would you deal with resistance in a normal world conquest? Whenever I see these "world conquest as x nation" on reddit they always have ridiculously high compliance gain in the end and have around 44 million free manpower.
Either ignore it as well which is possible with some nations or make use of puppets for regions with strong resistance modifiers. You basically have to balance how to allocate equipment. If you deal with resistance swiftly and to the needed extend, the amount of equipment and manpower that's required for garrison duties goes down pretty quickly. But it's important to never overextend, since it all comes crashing down once you cannot fullfil the supply demands anymore.
The golden outline is and has been buggy since forever. It's actually the topic of my next video. The outline sometimes appears for no reason and is gone soon after.
Tojo's hitting himself repeatedly saying "WHY DIDN'T I DO THAT!?"
m3an: You were too focused on China and too scared of Russia, overestimating her (The Soviet Union) to do anything like what I did.

I've been trying to do the same thing as you for a few days now, but the air superiority in France means I have to do it again and again, it's a pain in the arse!
Good luck! Are you reloading or starting from scratch each time?
@@m3an Thank you very much, and thank you for your reply. I'm starting from scratch each time, and France beats me every time! I don't think I should put planes in Italy, just transport planes.
@@alonzoharris5040 That is indeed correct. If you put any other planes on the region you aim to drop into, the AI will counter asap.
THANK YOU😇@@m3an
Ahh, yes HOI4, the historical WW2 war game where you can commit world conquest in just under 2 years with a month of leeway
Holy shit. Amazing video, just found out about this channel. Loved all the information and explanations throughout the video.
amazing think youd be up for doing a UK conquest speedrun? could be interesting with their focus tree!
It's absolutely on my list, but I've set myself some additional goals for it. So you might need to wait a couple of weeks until it's ready.
Nicely done. I really liked the pop up info-graphics and pointers.
Speedruns like this prove a point so many people deny even now - the AI blatantly cheats by creating divisions out of thin air.

This guy is madly underrated
You deserve more subs for the work u put in
the visuals are very good and helpful 👍
It's quite interesting to follow your reasoning. Congratulations!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it =)
Great work with the narration and editing, you've got me hooked on your content!
Just wow dud, love this video!
Great explanations and pacing, thank you
10:46 the visuals were good and very helpful but you should make the colors bigger and more visible, it's hard to see on mobile
For God's sake, you are a mad man!
I love it
Congratulations for sub-1938 world conquest, great strategy with italy and france at the start, it's usually the trickiest part.
I didn’t even know that this was an option! Amazing video
I just started playing HoI4 (I have 3h of playtime) and I didn't understand much of the decisions/movements/clicks/etc, but this was highly entertaining, saw the whole thing!
Brilliant vid as always 👏
Incredible video as always, could you do a British world conquest next? Haven't many up-to-date guides for the 'One Empire' achievement
New to Hoi4 but this is my favourite channel by far
great content as always!
Incredible run, well done!
Re: the equipment seizure - I guess Cosa nostra made Hirohito an offer he couldn't refuse...
Lol 😆
Good job
Wow, that's really impressive. :)
Great Job!
Good edit!
POV: Tojo doesn't want to be slapped on the head
7 years after the games' release, Paradox still haven't fixed the AI's incapability to deal with naval landings or paratroopers but instead they spent god knows how many man hours and effort making the whole bureaucratic declare war system nonsense as convoluted as possible.
I love how at the start of all these videos you can see s9me of his past attempts
Such a good and informative video at the same time, and the way you present info is superb m8
Much appreciated!
I think they fixed the order 66 trick. If you attack Albania, the troops just teleport from Italy back to Japan.
Impressive, most impressive.
I thank TH-cam for showing this to me
Amazing. Nice tips!
Clicked on this as background noise , 36:59min later i forgot what I was doing lol
My man, great job as ever, but please update you Holy Roman Empire speedrun, that doesnt work anymore with new system of justification of war.
Most underrated hoi4 channel
16:38 Ah to be in the Fuhrer bunker when the Fuhrer receives news that Japan has annexed half the World.
This channel is awesome.
Absolutely INSANE. My biggest question is with all DLC, AAT included, how does this effect the timeline? My biggest hurdle is getting the Transport planes by the time you do and still not having them when I cap Italy.
After the hotfix season is over, I'm going to revisit a couple of strategies, this one included.
i dont think this works anymore, i tried to do the trick with italy and it just sends my troops back to japan
Bro does a world conquest as Japan and leaves China for last. Absolute savage.
Amazing. Well done.
I can't think of anything else to say than... HOLY SHIT what a video
Thank you!
I like how you only go to war with China a couple months after Japan does on historical, but you’ve already conquered most of the earth by then lmao
Magnificent accomplishment. Making all the others look silly
Very Interesting. I am speedrunning in 1.6.2 because of mutual research exploit, but I might switch to 1.12 after paradox turned this mechanic off.
I normally have to rely on RNG on canada sending division to generate warscore, or send troops to canada as germany (as japan, I would war-dec on philipines to invade US through alaska and west coast)
One thing I‘ve been wondering for a while now, is it possible to do a World Conquest speedrun as the USA? I mean I am aware of the Naval treaty mechanics and the homeland defense decision. So quitting the Naval treaties and get declared war on by Uk, France, Italy and Japan at the same time in 36 requires a lot of skill, combined with Homeland defense its possible to win tho. However how to proceed afterwards? Anyone got ideas?
if you could do an order 66 type cheese with that strat you might be onto something
@@kyleelward5445 order 66 doesn't work anymore. Divisions teleport to your capital
people saying they got it by 1944, im in like 1946 as japan and have all of asia, europe and russia. no americas. idk how u do it. also any good template designs? i use base game and just upgrade then to newer tech as it goes on
Ayo for the cheese on Italy, this is for a complete separate run. Can I justify on their puppet and still be able to use the stay in their country method?
how would you deal with resistance in a normal world conquest? Whenever I see these "world conquest as x nation" on reddit they always have ridiculously high compliance gain in the end and have around 44 million free manpower.
Either ignore it as well which is possible with some nations or make use of puppets for regions with strong resistance modifiers. You basically have to balance how to allocate equipment. If you deal with resistance swiftly and to the needed extend, the amount of equipment and manpower that's required for garrison duties goes down pretty quickly. But it's important to never overextend, since it all comes crashing down once you cannot fullfil the supply demands anymore.
@@m3an Sounds about right. Imagine in Vic 3 new world order showing a democratized Japan trying to hold on to the world with their self defense force?
Excellent
Imagine if this happened IRL. Ancient Aliens would be saying Japan had help from aliens. And I would probably believe it.
The illustrations are hard to read with my blue light filter. I would prefer symbols.
Didn't think of that. Valuable feedback, thanks!
RIP order 66
29:12 Isn't Estonia in major nation frame or i'm missing something? Great run, thanks God you wasn't the ruler of Japan back in 1936
The golden outline is and has been buggy since forever. It's actually the topic of my next video. The outline sometimes appears for no reason and is gone soon after.
this video is way too good for just 8300 people to enjoy
Very interesst video. I liked it. 😀😅😝
My biggest grip against games like Hoi4 is how unrealistic it is that any skilled player can do exactly this with any nation on the board.
You can do it with smaller nations but it will take years longer.
4:28
Political power gain*
Oh damn. You're absolutely right. Totally overlooked that.
This is really cool. Are there any good resources to help learn to micro front lines that anyone would recommend?
Greet vid but I play with no DLC, I don’t know If that’s the reason why my special forces cap is at 6 rather than 8 for France oeprationa
