I really like Taureor but his refusal to use anything other than pure infantry after proving himself that pure infantry is not that good makes me so anxious LMAO
He hates micro so much lol, he doesn’t command armies even in multiplayer matches. He actually remarks sometimes how his strategies would be done with so much faster if he micromanaged. But I guess we will have to make do with his voice and his masterminding.
Not even good units either lmao. He doesn’t have most of his army equipped and still wonders why he’s losing battles. He has to always play the most cheesy way as well
In a way you still do teach english - in the lockdown I used to listen to your videos in the background all the time and it really helped me getting more fluent in the language. My english teacher even asked me if my parents hired a private teacher for me, because my english improved that much
Hello Taureor. I have 3 challenge for you. First, try to rule Britannia with Malta. Second try to annex France with Brittany (the state with Brest). And the third and last, Retake all Swedish empire state. Like Pomeranian, Leningrad and some other state in Africa and america to restore the Carolus Rex pride. This Last challiget you innwar at least all major power and factions
The victory score system should consider caused casualities and lower the effect of had casualities. Once had a game as fasist Netherlands and got 1% of the victory score as I got like 10k casualities, didn't conquer almost anything, but caused 15 mil casualities on the allies, who kept invading my veterans designed to defend.

Surprised you built military factories in so many coastal states, thought you would have concentrated more on inland states and left at least some slots in the coastal states for dockyards
The MacArthur "I Will Return" speech just hits different in this alternate reality when he is talking about Denmark instead of the Phillipines.....and he lost an entire army in Denmark because they forgot to get on boats and died to the last man instead.
At 20:00 , there’s a small discussion on haven for ESL speakers - indeed, Hoi4 also teaches us the etymology for haven, from Wilhemshaven (Wilhem’s harbour) , the coastal city in Germany all too useful for invading Britain :)
@@GavriJ havnt done anything “bad” america has helped Europe a lot. If only they helped other countries in Latin America and the Middle East in a similar way instead of just “spreading democracy”

Challenge idea: eco friendly challenge. Pick a major nation (probably Germany or japan) and complete the focus tree/dominate the world in the most eco friendly manner possible. Eg: minimal factories, bikes instead of motorised, minimal ships etc. Pls like so Taureor can see.
@@wow9279 It would depend on the nation, but I would say you would have to have a maximum number of factories that you aren't allowed to build over. The only way to get more after hitting max is to take over places.
Off the top, you were trying to build up your Congressional support and increase your factory output at the same time. Paying farm subsidies does increase your support, but it also increases consumer goods which takes away from your building. Even though it costs more political power, it is better to just go with the medium lobbying effort. You get twice the effect so have to be in that mode for less time.
Challenge idea, Magellan: as Portugal execute a naval invasion from New Zealand to Iceland while being at war with the allies. I know how much you love naval management
You should have used those 300 military factories to switch into tanks, steamroll the Soviets, give all of their territory to Poland in the peace conference.
* invades the democratic nation, commits war crimes and human rights violations, and overthrows the democratically elected leaders for authoritarian right-wing leaders *
Britain and France would have left "the allies" now anyway, since you generated a huge amount of world tension. It's a problem I frequently run into when trying to play "the good guy Britain".
"Our people are now buying your blue jeans and listening to your pop music. I worry the rest of the world will also succumb to the influence of your culture."
You should have closed historical ai man, that would spice things a lot, one of my favorite gameplay runs are democratic USA with historical ai off. You always feel on edge and mobilization means something.
My last run as the US ended up with France declaring war on me and sending troops to Navally Invade me, which led to them killing everything they had and making a counter invasion so much more enjoyable. France's biggest mistake was trying to endlessly invade Charleston.
Hmmm. Kaiserreich is maybe little too Roleplayish, for "tutorial" playthoughs like Taureor does. Ofc not against the idea. I watch Taureor for his charm :D
Save haven, haven is the dutch word for harbour. I dont know if the words are conected historical but there is a chance for britain and the netherlands were allies and enemies and used to be both naval powers
How it felt when he sent the convoys to Japan: It's the United States and they have boats. With guns! Gunboats! "Open the country." "Stop having it be closed."
Personally I dont build civs as USA, just mils and get those guns, arty, aa, support and planes going asap. Your ability to export so much gives you the civs you need to keep up building mils at a fast pace. Dont even build infrastructure until I need more resources. Same outcome but my troops are always supplied.
I have no idea if someone has done this before, but I came up with a strategy as Italy to beet Germany using pure politics and not attacking anyone or joining a faction. And I know you like politics so thought I would share. I start by decolonizing but you don't have to. Don't do a focus to save up political power. Asap justify on the USSR. World tension at 33% so uk will guarantee anyone you justify on. Next justify on Austria. Makes them more likely to refuse the anshlus. If they do, war w the allies before Germany can expand and get super powerful. If not, do the same on all the other countries Germany can get focus war goals on. Eventually Germany gets into war w the allies in way or another. If things are going really slow do the focus to take Albania. Uk will guarantee, they will refuse, and later Greece will invade and join the axis. In any case neither power can really win so early bc the allies start weak and Germany has been hindered, so once the USSR joins Germany gets squashed. I developed this for a multiplayer Germany v Italy game w a friend who was going for the Berlin Moscow axis which is what inspired it (make the alliance impossible to form by voiding the USSR at pease requirements) but it works on single player to. Tested it 3 times and once by buffing Germany all the way up. Worked perfectly each time. Tho I admit I was not playing historical focuses. They make the game to repetitive. Just defend that little tiny boarder in the Alps you have w Germany and wait for them to slowly die
@@s0larstuff775 No Problem I'm not sure there would be much of a point in him going full Fascist as the US since he already did the War Powers Act branch, unless he was to try and do something like put Adam Hilt in Power, then conquer all of Europe (he doesn't games with historical AI turned off, and even if he did, the odds of the event that lets Mr Hilt come to power firing off are really low to begin with, so that's not really an option) - if he was doing a world conquest for the US, he could just go Communist (he says he thinks the Communist branch is the best anyways). I guess he could do something in multiplayer if he did a challenge with some fans/other HOI4 TH-camrs (i.e., reverse ideologies - Fascist Allies vs Democratic Axis - once Italy gets a focus tree), but I'm having a hard time thinking of challenges he could do specifically for single player that would involve Fascist USA. On a side note, I'm kind of surprised he hasn't tried to go for the Imperial Ultra Federation (my nickname for the Imperial Federation formed with the Dominion of North America + South Africa and New Zealand having formed their formable nations, and then the UK having formed the EU - all done under Oswald Mosley), since I'm sure that's the largest formable nation you can form on single player other than Turan.
