Thank you Bitt3rsteel for making this video! As a Bulgarian I watched this with a lot and I mean A LOT of excitement. Thank you for making my naition great(even tho It's just a game) a day after our national day(3rd of March- the Bulgarian stardom was liberated from the Ottoman empire). This video will make every Bulgarian proud! Love your content, really thank you for that.
Hello Bitt3rSteel! Almost perfect timing, btw. On the 3rd of March we had a national holiday in remembrance of our Liberation from the Ottomans in 1878. Thank you for this amazing video and wish you good health!
Something funny I did once was take ownership of the Balkan League by spamming 1 battalion infantry and then letting Serbia attack me after which I have Greece as an ally and also Montenegro. Meaning I can be less focused on Romania and Turkey. I won the 2nd Balkan War and then the 1st World War.
Cool fun fact, the left side of tree you can ignore after the first focus, (until the first Balkan War) since they get bypassed. You can spend more time getting to Prussia of the Balkans!
It takes about three years for the political power guy to pay off and that is at 150, at the cost you paid which is 172, it would take 3 years and 60+15=75 days, so i usually only go for that guy when i have gotten an exp guy and some industry advisor, as 15% more factories is better than (Around) 62 more political power 4 years into the game

Dude just how. I literally tried this a week ago and i finished the second balkan war in 1919 at which point it was already part of the weltkrieg because of the ottomans. The only reason i was even able to survive was because Austria Hungary decided not to attack me. It was one of the most painful hoi4 experiences ever and i just wished I'd lost
I actually went with the big divisons, just switching out some of the infantry brigades with howtizers and arty. They performt surprisingly well and were able to push and hold against 2 or 3 divisons with ease. I don't know, ig quality instead of quantity worked for me. Sadly it's a while back and don't remeber the template, but well
This mod is a total pain though, because if you're part of the Central Powers and Germany loses, you automatically are defeated even if you're NOT AT WAR WITH THE ENTENTE. It's just annoying and frustrating.
3:16 you don't need to know history to know there's going to be a war in the Balkans, if you're placed at any point in time, there's a good change the Balkans are at war
Great job! I have a challenge for you, if you're willing: as the ottoman empire, win the war for Libya, the balkan war, and ww1. You can not loose any of those wars. Thanks!
Hello @Bitt3rSteel thanks for the amazing videos as always i have a challenge for you, i know you already play with the qing in great war redux and didnt go so well but i think it would great if you try it again but with the sub mod that ads a bigger focus three for the country because you are always incredible in challenge and this is a very difficult challenge thank you
i remember playing a ww1 mod. as germany i was destroying russia, but then the bolshevik coup happened and i had to refight russia. in another game i was beating the entente, but accepting the peace deal event gave me nothing, despite the accepting the peace deal event if i had lost meant me giving up colonies and suffering the versailes.
Technically it was Bulgaria that started the 2nd Balkan War cause she believed she should have had more, considering she also had the biggest army among the Balkan nations and Greece.
You don’t need to do anything in the balkan wars since the peace deal will always be the same. Let your future enemies weaken themselves fighting the ottomans

Glad you enjoy it!
Btw maybe play yes red world it’s a good mod.

Virgin Ottoman stan vs Chad Bulgarian Tsar
Naaaaaah 🤣🤣🤣

Except the Bulgarians we are happy
Forget the balkans, he angered every claimant to rome ever
You really decided to post this video after the 3th of March celebrations in Bulgaria
That video title is going to start another Balkan war
Hello Bitt3rSteel!
Almost perfect timing, btw.
On the 3rd of March we had a national holiday in remembrance of our Liberation from the Ottomans in 1878.
Thank you for this amazing video and wish you good health!
You've probably started a war in some bar just with that title alone.
Finally, I have played Bulgaria in TGW redux tons of times. Winning the second Balkan war is very satisfying.
The strat I used during the balkan wars was 500 units of 1 line of calvary, abusing their OP buff in the doctrine path on the right
Something funny I did once was take ownership of the Balkan League by spamming 1 battalion infantry and then letting Serbia attack me after which I have Greece as an ally and also Montenegro. Meaning I can be less focused on Romania and Turkey. I won the 2nd Balkan War and then the 1st World War.
And you didnt get all of your land
I cannot believe this guy did not take northern dobrudja very disappointed
Always leave room for a other Balkan war
